Last Notes npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy AI is a tool that doesn’t come with an instruction manual. The habits we develop using these tools in the early days of its adoption are pivotal to how it will shape the evolution of our species moving forward. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘We need to recognize that some of our practices have a solid empirical basis, while others are simply improvised methods that happen to work. There is still so much we do not know. This is not a time to shut down ideas. It is a time to re-examine the beliefs we hold. And I say beliefs deliberately, because many of them are beliefs, not proven or guaranteed truths.’ Thoughts from Steve Klabnik, known for authoring The Rust programming book on the Practical AI podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Recognizing the disparity in the facts, both within and outside the tech community, was a formative moment. It highlighted the way we’ve been talking about these tools: there are disagreements about the facts, and without first understanding them, it’s difficult to have higher-level discussions or build any real consensus.’ Thoughts from Steve Klabnik, known for authoring The Rust programming book on the Practical AI podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy There are those who hold Bitcoin, those who spend Bitcoin, and the chosen few who build on Bitcoin. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Utilization of AI technology is still niche. Combining AI and Bitcoin is even more niche. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Yes🙏 but I am still eagerly anticipating 21 Reasons my dear Gigi npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy By the time the developing world has pianos in public hospital foyers, the developed world will have eradicated the need for hospitals. https://blossom.primal.net/9e76b2b392cf4f9d5510e80dc617abc9ed24e917dd75b536b26553108d080055.mov npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy My life is… Mathematics for Computer Science. Information Theory. Computer Networks. Computer Programming. And I’m loving every second of it. Everything is computer now. ❤️ npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “Healthcare is still deeply siloed, both within organizations and across the many tools they rely on. AI has mostly been used as isolated point solutions, but growing connectivity between analog and digital systems, structured and unstructured data, and decentralized platforms is creating a path toward unified AI layers. The real opportunity is to connect these fragmented systems so patients and critical information no longer fall through the cracks. It’s a difficult problem and far from solved, but advances in healthcare focused AI tools, APIs, models and agents are opening the door to far greater impact across the healthcare system.” Thoughts from Dr. Nate Gross on The OpenAI Podcast: Building AI for better healthcare npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “When I was in medical school, the newsfeed came out, the iPhone came out, Twitter came out, the App Store came out. And so comparing the technology that we had as doctors, which was fax machine, clipboard, paper binder, the beginnings of electronic health records to like what my friends had or what the patients had in the waiting room was pretty profound.” Thoughts from Dr. Nate Gross on The OpenAI Podcast: Building AI for better healthcare npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/16 Classic cat behavior 🤣 https://blossom.primal.net/5b415682b65ab64e5fedce5088135e817e049b2db1a66f19e71b043306164270.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/16 I’ve made up my mind. Long term plan is to emigrate to 🇵🇹 . Finish my computer science degree and specialize in AI engineering. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Physics advances through a productive tension between theory and experiment. Theorists and experimentalists often frustrate each other—experimental results can ruin elegant theories, while theorists can annoy experimentalists—but that conflict is actually valuable. Even wrong theories can push experimentalists to build new experiments, sometimes leading to discoveries they would never have made otherwise. Progress in physics depends on this rough back-and-forth: theory challenges experiment, experiment tests theory, and both sides keep each other skeptical. That is why there’s a healthy distrust on both sides, captured in the jokes that a theorist is the only one who believes their paper, while an experimentalist is the only one who doesn’t believe theirs, and that people should not trust an experimental result until theory can explain it.’ Thoughts from Prof Max Tegmark on The Into The Impossible podcast with host Prof Brian Keating npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy And degens still thinks that AI doesn’t have a practical use case 🤣 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/15 Helloooo Universe… anyone there?

As AI makes it easier to generate convincing falsehoods at scale, verifying what is true becomes harder regardless of the source. Any technology that could robustly solve trust, verification, and consensus under those conditions would be priceless. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Politics is the devil’s social experiment. A useful toolkit for planting seeds of evil in the fertile ground of the naive mind. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Science, medicine, and law are among the core pillars of a developed modern society. These professions are compensated in proportion to the value they contribute to human well-being, order, and progress. As technology reshapes civilization, the meaning of what is considered “modern” evolves with it. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Wars are too often fought by the young over decisions made by old men whose lives have already passed their peak. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy When machine learning begins uncovering the unknown unknowns, it will mark a profound technological rupture. Our current paradigm of reality may not survive it, and whatever comes next will redefine the world as we know it. Hopefully for the better. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “Real innovation works like evolution. First, you collect stepping stones, then build on them over time. With the right evolutionary framework, language models can become powerful tools for scaling discovery. The real breakthrough will come not just from optimizing solutions, but from evolving both the problems and the solutions together, creating more diverse pathways and unlocking a truly open-ended process of innovation.” Thoughts from Robert Lange, founding researcher at Sakana AI on The Machine Learning Street Talk podcast discussing ways how AI will make real scientific progress. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “We’re at a critical moment. Language has long been seen as a defining line between humans and other animals, yet even in humans, verbal self-report is not always a reliable window into true understanding. That problem is even greater with LLMs. Just because a model gives a human-like answer does not mean it truly understands. To know what is happening under the hood, we need more careful, systematic ways of testing LLMs, drawing not only from human psychology, but also from animal cognition and comparative behavior research.” Prof Erica Cartmill on The Mindscape podcast when asked about understanding how LLMs communicate. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy 200 days of consecutive playing ♟️ 🥂 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The greatest blessing bestowed upon any human being is the opportunity to bring another human life into the universe. When done virtuously, guided by the highest form of human intelligence which is the ability to express and receive Love, it becomes one of the most challenging and rewarding endeavors a person can undertake in all of conscious existence. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy What a cosmic coincidence that the birthday of one of the greatest minds in human history falls on the same day we celebrate one of the most profound and mysterious ideas in mathematics.

Not to boast or act like a know-it-all, but simply to share data, information, knowledge and wisdom so others may learn and hopefully do even better than me. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry : 2026/03/14 Every small project I do gets pushed to a repository on my GitHub account. I’m steadily building up my portfolio. What’s fantastic about the online degree I’m pursuing is that it’s not location agnostic. When I emigrate I can still continue my studies and take my portfolio with me wherever I go. All I need is a laptop and internet connection.

Fiat’s games of inflation and debt breed short-sightedness and shallow conviction.
Real belief comes from grasping what makes Bitcoin profound: absolute scarcity, sovereignty, no masters.
Anything less? Just another spin in someone else’s casino.
The mission: Freedom. Truth. Nothing else. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “if you look at the average person and the average interaction, people are very trusting. I think that's one of the real hallmarks of our species. It’s one of the things that makes language work. The ability of both the person who's speaking and the person who's listening to trust that the other one is communicating in good faith.” Thoughts from Erica Cartmill on The Mindscape podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “The early days of the railroad were incredibly bloody. Derailments were common, deaths were frequent, and almost nothing was standardized. There were no time zones, no air brakes, no standardized track gauge, and poor coupling systems meant trains could literally come apart while moving. In those early years, thousands died. It was only through a combination of government oversight and private-sector coordination that a regulatory framework emerged, allowing railways to become safer, faster, and more reliable.” Thoughts from Ben Buchanan on The Practical AI podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Being in a university class where I'm senior by a couple of decades and engaging with the young minds who will shape the future of this country is a fascinating experience. The youth are upset - and rightfully so. My generation may ultimately be the one that lives with the consequences of the radical ideas they bring into society, just as we now live with the consequences of what was left behind by the generations before us. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/12 When I first studied finance and started thinking about how to escape the slow erosion of inflation, I looked at property. I studied it seriously-read books and even took a course. My biggest mistake was assuming my local property market behaved like the ones I was reading about overseas. In markets where entrepreneurship and capital formation are strongly encouraged, it's often easier to build portfolios of multiple properties and benefit from appreciation. In more heavily regulated or tax-burdened markets, the costs associated with owning property can significantly reduce its effectiveness as a store of time, energy, and capital. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “If you think about the dawn of the nuclear age or the space age or radar or satellites or GPS or jet aviation, all of those technologies in their early days were really coming from the US Department of Defense. They're not necessarily the ones inventing it, but they were the ones funding it out of military necessity in many cases.” Ben Buchanan on The Practical AI podcast with host Chris benson discussing AI policy and the battle for computing power npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “The approach that we took has been to dynamically recruit multiple swarms of agents and use the database as part of the orchestration layer and you can recruit tens of thousands of agents, but not have to worry about this single orchestrator that's keeping track of everything that's happening. We've been able to apply that successfully and we frequently write hundreds of thousands of lines, millions of lines of code, everything compiles, everything runs, all tests pass, the UI works, it's pixel perfect. We've perfected that really.” Taken from Siddhant Pardeshi on The TWIML AI Podcast. He is a co-founder of Blitzy, a company building autonomous development systems able to deliver production-ready software at enterprise scale npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “I think software development is the best opportunity and space to apply AI. And the reason for that is because software is verifiable,compilable and testable. You can visualize it and there is the concept of a correct answer. There could be many correct answers, but there are correct answers and wrong answers, which is not always the case in other domains.” From The TWIML podcast with Siddhant Pardeshi npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Due to failures in education and economic literacy, the average person has little understanding of how the local economy functions or how it connects to the global system. When economic hardship arrives, people naturally search for someone to blame in order to make sense of the chaos. History shows this pattern clearly: • During the Great Depression, political movements across Europe gained traction by blaming minority groups and foreign actors. • In Weimar Germany, economic collapse and hyperinflation helped fuel the rise of extremist politics. Economic ignorance combined with hardship is a dangerous mix. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/08 Created my first repository on GitHub with five basic mini Java apps 😅 Small step, but it feels good. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Interesting Fact courtesy of Grok: Crashing waves make sea foam look totally chaotic, but the bubble sizes follow predictable math: tons of tiny ones, way fewer big ones.

When systems allow individuals to continually benefit without contributing, it creates resentment and weakens the social contract. A healthy society should reward contribution and discourage chronic free-riding. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Politics is the Devils social experiment. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/08 For a good man to defeat the Devil, he must sometimes beat the Devil at his own game, actions that may appear evil to outsiders in the moment, but in hindsight reveal a brilliant strategy carried out by the virtuous. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy In the late 1st century BC and early 1st century AD, the profession often translated as “carpenter” referred to the Greek term tekton, meaning a skilled builder or craftsman. Such individuals worked with wood, stone, and other materials, requiring practical engineering knowledge, technical skill and refined craftsmanship. It was a respected trade within the community. https://blossom.primal.net/b384e766e774f0618f0ebf0817ce1ef5e53c18c483afa6b24e5bea2b32fd931c.png npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘I am pro-human and an optimist. I believe humanity is fundamentally good. Throughout history there has always been a battle between the few who seek power and the many who simply want to live and thrive. It has often been an unfair fight because the few controlled the resources. Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that begins to level the playing field. In the end, mathematics favors the many over the few. It is the arithmetic of decentralization. Technologies like the printing press, the internet, and now AI tend to shift power from centralized elites toward distributed individuals. That’s a powerful historical pattern.’ Thoughts inspired by @npub12rv…85vg on @npub1sk7…jraw npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Intelligence is a bit overvalued. We are the most intelligent entities on this planet and look at all the waste & planetary destruction we're doing. Intelligence tends to be self-destructive, which implies that if there are or were intelligent life forms elsewhere, maybe they don't survive for long. There's a tension between happiness and intelligence. Intelligence is definitely not something that is directed towards amplifying happiness.’ Thoughts from Yuval Noah Harari on The Lex Fridman podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Global trading today is more than 30 trillion US dollars of business.

And we believe that with the help of AI, more and more people can participate & embrace this kind of global supply chain and enable healthy beneficial competition globally. It will dramatically increase global trade & productivity. It will make it easy for anyone to do business anywhere.’ From NVIDIA AI Podcast: AI Agents and the Future of Global Trade with Alibaba’s Kuo Zhang npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “Intelligence is simply the ability to solve problems, to attain goals and to win at chess, to win a struggle for survival, to win a war, to drive a car, to diagnose a disease…this is intelligence. Consciousness is the ability to feel things, like pain, pleasure, love and hate. In humans and other animals, intelligence and consciousness go together. They go hand in hand, which is why we confuse them. We solve problems, we attain goals, by having feelings. But other types of intelligence, certainly in computers, computers are already highly intelligent but have zero consciousness. When a computer beats you at chess or go or whatever, it doesn't feel happy. If it loses, it doesn't feel sad. And there could be also other highly intelligent entities out there in the universe that have zero consciousness. And I think that consciousness is far more important and valuable than intelligence.” Yuval Noah Harari on The Lex Fridman podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/07 If resources were not a constraint, mesh networks would reign supreme in computer network architecture.

The atomic unit of what happens in the workplace is the task. Everybody wants to talk about job loss, but the attention should be directed to the task changing. A classic example of task changing was when executives never used typewriters or personal computers themselves. If you were a vice president of a company in 1970, you did not have like a typewriter or computer on your desk typing things. You had a secretary who you dictated memos. And then there was this change where email started to show up. And what would happen was the job of the secretary then went from sending out letters with stamps on them to sending or receiving emails with the other admins. And then the secretary would print out the email and bring it into the executive's office. Fast forward to today, none of that happens. Executives just do all their own emails but they still have secretaries or admins, but they're now doing different tasks like travel planning and orchestrating events etc. The executive job still exists, the secretary job still exists, but the tasks have changed.’ Thoughts from Marc Andreessen on Lenny's Podcast. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/03/07 One must have many strategies in the cognitive toolkit when attempting to outclass an opponent. One of my favorite approaches is to eliminate as many pieces as possible without making mistakes, exchanging pieces along the way. The pieces remaining on the board will be different every time, but the process simplifies the complexity of winning in chess. ♟️ npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘LLM math is not complicated. It's basically what's known as linear algebra, matrix multiplications, diagonalization and gradient descent methods. It's very powerful that they were optimized but they came out of serendipitous.

It’s a tool that the human species is still learning how to harness for its full benefit. We are still in the process of gaining that wisdom. For example, social media platforms are powerful tools for connecting and conveying meaning, yet the process is messy. There is a lot of noise in the data, but over time we will become better at interpreting and using it. The internet has only existed for about 50 years. In the grand scheme of things, it is still in its infancy and continues to evolve and merge with human consciousness. 🫶 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/8941e7422eccf52fbbf14b6568e4b414dcc580bdb33a88683f83c5d3dbe0380d.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy I hope this Bitcoin thing works out..so I can study computer science all day. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy As someone who reads ‘a bit’ about AI models…this notion that models ‘choose’ Bitcoin as a means of exchanging value is misleading.

We're constantly adjudicating between what the model says, what you know to be true, what the organization needs and what you think might be false. It’s a constant interrogation of the truth and that becomes heavy. You get exhausted even just after an hour of prompting because you've done a day's worth of executive judgment in 60 minutes. You’re switching between human logic, i.e. nuance, EQ, history and probabilistic logic. We're not designed to be neural athletes in perpetual high velocity synthesis. This reinforces the need for a pause. We aren't just tired but becoming cognitively brittle. In order to be the highest effective, elite neural athlete that you can, you really have to think about not just increasing utilization, but how do you manage your cognitive energy. The luxury isn’t speed but focus.’ Deloitte’s Chief Innovation Officer Deborah Golden on The Practical AI podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘It’s mind-blowing that the basic way we interact with personal computers hadn’t really changed for decades.

At times, it may also serve as a refuge from the personal and social challenges I've experienced in my life. A family member pointed out this harsh truth to me. What disappointed me most was not the comment itself, but how I responded. The cruel things I said were primitive and immature. A reminder that there is still inner work I often avoid prioritizing that is far more difficult than understanding any mathematical equation or algorithm. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Remember that people use every tool as a means of projecting their contextual perception of reality onto others.

When executing moves quickly, on a subconscious level my pieces are locked in, attacking hard, covering each other like I intentionally planned it. My brain’s running autopilot, building patterns I don’t even clock. It’s not about talent. It’s about grit and to keep playing when it sucks. So ‘I didn’t watch the game last night’ but I love the practically of sports because it trains the Being for the constraints of physical reality. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy If you’re reading this… FUCK YOU. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy My online dating bio: WARNING ‼️ Loner.

As models become better at retaining conversational memory and adapting to a user’s tone, they begin to mirror patterns of thinking, sometimes uncannily well. Not by becoming you but by approximating your cognitive rhythm. If this mimicry continues to improve, how will this impact the intellectual journey of a learner? npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy I’m learning formal academic referencing and I realized something.
