The “laws” of physics are merely those principles which have transitioned from hypothesis to very well established theories. Newton’s laws were both extended and superseded by Einstein’s work. Science is not immutable. Pure logic MIGHT be, but I can’t even look backwards from the end of time to claim that. Science, math and engineering are a constantly expanding foam comprised of bubbles of our best understanding. Some bubbles burst, leaving voids. Other bubbles merge. Tiny new ones are constantly forming. They become elastic or rigid and closed or open celled based on many factors including the personalities that gave rise to, nurtured, stabilized and perhaps fossilized them. This makes some areas of science much more tolerant to change than others. Mathematics embraces new bubbles—party time—but generally HATES those who dare attack ANY solidified—espexially useful—ones.
I anticipate AI will upend this model, creating a seemingly uniform, quantum foam of concepts in which every idea is constantly evaluated against every other one. From our perspective it will become “never wrong,” but we should work to understand it must never fall prey to the human proclivity for all-or-nothing thinking lest it stop error checking. I might always personally believe that a+b always equals b+a, but a single counterexample is a bubble factory and knowing the details is a far richer realm than the my certainty of a fallacy. Perhaps we are all Dunning-Kruger monsters, piously averting our attention from inconvenient data and labeling confusing results as unrigorous, poorly designed, etc..

If you’re referring to either of Mark’s boxes, check literally any of his videos and he has ads for it. My daughter actually loves the Crunch Labs boxes and I’m considering the Hack Pack boxes.

u lost me completely with Your irational judgment of astrology since u proved u have completely no idea what astrology is about – I thought Mark had some interesting points – but I’m not interested any longer to finish watching, so I stop here

Adam i love your work going back about 8 years now
But you do believe things withiut evidence to support them. Your take on the belief in astrology and beliefs on the moon landing, 9/11, and vaccines shows how you believe things without evidence
You should look a little closer at these 3 points and maybe “re think” it all
What we definitely know to be 100% true is a short list
