Kolmogorov Complexity and Our Search for Meaning - Issue 63: Horizons - Nautilus
We abhor randomness and love patterns. We are biologically programmed to find some patterns that explain what they see. But we can never be certain that the pattern we’ve identified is the right one. Even if we could somehow be assured that we haven’t made a mistake, and we are exhibiting a computer-like perfection, there may always still be a deeper truth to unearth. This tension helps drive our love of literature, theater, and the cinema. When we read a novel, or watch a play, the author or director is presenting us with a sequence of events that has a common theme, pattern, or moral. Literature, plays, and the cinema offer us a delightful escape from the usual unintelligible, meaningless chaos that we find in the real world around us. Really good literature goes further, and leaves us with the possibility of many interpretations. We come face to face with the incomputability of the Kolmogorov complexity.
This tension also defines how we engage with our own lives. While we travel through the seemingly random events in our life, we are searching for patterns, and structure. Life is full of “ups and downs.” There are the joys of falling in love, giggling with your child, and feeling a sense of great accomplishment when a hard job is completed. There is also the pain of a crumbling relationship, or the agony of failing at a task after great effort, or the tragedy of the death of a loved one. We try to make sense of all this. We abhor the feeling of total randomness and the idea that we are just following chaotic, habitual laws of physics. We want to know that there is some meaning, purpose, and significance in the world around us.We want a magical story of a life, so we tell ourselves stories.
Sometimes the stories are simply false. Sometimes we lie to ourselves and those around us. And sometimes the patterns we identify are correct. But even if the story is correct, it is not necessarily the best one. We can never know if there is a deeper story that is more exact. As we age and suffer from ennui, we gain certain insights about the universe that we did not see before. We find better patterns. Maybe we get to see things more clearly. Or maybe not. We will never know. But we do know that the search is guaranteed to never end.
Growing up this guy was running commercials about his dog training company. Anyone remember him?
.
.
Commercials? They had to be several thousand dollars a month to run those. It hit me, there is money to be made in dog training. Yet money wasn’t my vibe.
.
.
I got into dogs not because of money, but because I love what I do. Dogs are my passion and after 30 plus years, it’s still is.
.
.
I had people around me, my family and even those that didn’t care but wanted to share their 2 cents that said go to school, get a 9/5 job but I followed my passion and here I am.

Maybe my purpose in life is to express feeling everything that everyone else is pretending not to feel. Or maybe everyone else doesn’t really feel those things and it just sucks to be me and then my purpose in life is to have All The Shame. Because I’m certainly NOT going to pretend to Be Cool.
YES to the first half, and the second is very much what I’ve been struggling with myself all day. But reading it in print just now, I change my mind and think if everyone else doesn’t feel those things, I want to describe them and teach everyone who’ll listen what they’re missing. Being open and honest and sharing one’s gifts shamelessly, in my book, is the coolest of cool.
When the aching doesn’t stop And your legs trudge on. When the tendons scream But you don’t drop your hands. When your feet crack When your skin tears When your tendons begin to rip. But you push on. You never stop. You will never.
Blindness falls on the children of the privileged. They come up and up and up and learn to replace themselves but not to better their surroundings. What care would they need put in anything that is not themselves? What effort should they really exude? How could they really make a difference? Their each only one person. Each only one. One made of each ignoring the problems around them. One made…
It comes to a close, The year that I oppose While knowledge grows From your throws Every lie shows Yet no one knows. No one even cares.
“Do not compare yourself to others, you are beautiful and unique in your own way”
hey guys! i created an wallpaper for laptops and desktops that you can freely use. this quote will help remind you that you are beautiful and you shouldn’t compare yourself for someone you merely know.
if you are asking for a sign on when to start doing things for your own good. well, this is it. START NOW.
I’ve started this drawing on November 2016 because of Justin Bieber’s concert in Bologna but until yesterday it was still incomplete. When I picked up my pencils after a long time I looked at the portrait and wondered “What should I do now? I’m not sure if I’m still able to draw ”
Then I started coloring uncertanly Justin’s skin with a light pencil and my hands already knew what they had to do: I think this is the kind of thing I can’t explain because I realized that after many years of drawing, now it’s automatic and I won’t forget how to draw.
I’m happy to draw again. Thank you guys for your support, I hope to post more portraits.

While we chase the big question about the purpose of life, we lose sight of the life that we waste daily as we go about serving some purpose or the other without realising it.
That’s the thing about being distracted from the present moment.
We’re so concerned about the future, and often still processing the past, that we lose the present.
Popcorn wisdom aside, we must connect with the reality of what purpose is driving our actions in this very moment.
However, we often confuse long term goals with purpose.
Purpose is not something that has a finite end. Nor is it something that is tangible or measurable on its own.
It’s a higher calling. Something that inspired us to want to achieve goals that serve that purpose, and not a goal in itself.
There is only ever a single purpose in life, from which all other purposes are spawned.
That is, the need to be of positive consequence to those around us, and to the world at large.
We often behave badly when we feel like the fulfilment of that need is under threat. But we’re so focused on complying with expectations, our own and others, that we lose sight of why we feel overwhelmed, taken for granted, abused, or even invisible.
Reconnect with purpose and life becomes more fulfilling without the conscious effort of making it so.

The logic of this is quite obvious, yet we do it, don’t we?
Sometimes we find it difficult to apologise because we’re afraid that others will think less of us. It feels like a weakness. So we protect ourselves from appearing weak.
At other times, we find it difficult to apologise because we feel unappreciated. So our offensive behaviour was our way of getting justice for having been treated badly or taken for granted.
The same reasons that would drive our resistance to admitting fault is what drives others to avoid doing right by us.
Problems arise when we lose sight of why we expect that much more from them, or worse, why we may be holding them to a standard that is unfair to who they are.
Sometimes we grow tired of being taken for granted at home, so we lash out at hints of being taken for granted at work. And vice versa.
Similarly, when our parents may have treated us as insignificant, we end up lashing out at our partners because we fear growing insignificant with them as well.
That’s how we do the right thing for the wrong reasons. Or why we find it difficult to do the right thing when we know better.
We complicate life when we lose sight of what we’re dealing with in the moment because we don’t realise that we’re waiting for justice about something that is long gone and forgotten, or unrelated to who we’re with now. .
Invest in your past, or invest in your present. The choice you make is what determines what you’re investing in your future.
Emotional mindfulness is key to creating a fulfilled life.

I didn’t know this was the path my art would take, but illustrating children’s books is something I always wanted to do. I intend to study typography to further grow my skillset in this area as well. Cranking out 3 children’s books in the span of one year was a true test, but I’m all for embracing whatever I feel will make me a better artist. I know how fortunate I am in being able to wake up, go to my studio everyday, and do what I love.

Anyone else constantly on edge because we are in the final stages of late capitalism and these next couple of decades are gonna be make or break for the western world, and this just happens to coincide with the part of my life where I’m supposed to make something of myself :/
You didn’t have to say it with words

Some wholesome, happy-ending, family-posting for you.
Becky couldn’t help but smile. It seemed like only yesterday that she was riding her boyfriend Steve like a she-demon. The feeling of all his hot cum painting her cervix white as her greedy womb orgasmically spasmed and let it all in was something she could never forget. But that was almost five months ago, and now she has to face the consequences..not that that’s a bad thing. Becky loved her growing bump. She felt better than ever, sexier than ever before. She was glowing, and looked truly feminine. Besides, Steve was obsessed with her new look, and promised that as long as he could keep her filled up and looking like this, he’d never, ever leave her. She smirked and rubbed her belly. She’d have to make sure she bought lots of baby stuff going forward. It looks like they were going to have to plan for a *very* big family.

The rags to riches stories are more than a romantic fairytale love story. Many business owners have stories to share of roughing through hard times, catching a break, and boom, they made it to the success highway of life. The stories never stop there as happily ever after is elusive, and requires consistent work to remain relevant.
Relevance equates to customer interest, need,…
