ABOUT ME (in honor of my daughter) In my youth, I watched a televised sci-fi drama—here is a summary from memory: A group of businessmen invited a renowned inventor and showed him a video of tests involving a levitation device. During one of the tests, the device's creator died, and the device itself was destroyed. Since the creator had left behind no blueprints or explanations, they were unable to replicate the machine. Consequently, they asked the inventor to recreate the apparatus. The inventor succeeded in replicating the levitation device. As it turned out at the end of the story, the initial test—and indeed the man himself—had never existed. A psychologist hired by the businessmen had manipulated the inventor into believing the tests were real; knowing that someone had already built a device defying the laws of physics, the inventor was able to replicate it. This is the short story "Absolutely Inflexible" by Robert Silverberg, written in 1956. Here is a summary provided by Google's AI: The story's central theme revolves around overcoming the so-called "psychological barrier of impossibility." • As long as a scientist or inventor is convinced that the laws of physics (in this case, gravity) are absolutely immutable, their brain consciously blocks any unconventional ideas that contradict them. • The psychologist understood that if a brilliant inventor became absolutely certain that someone else (even someone who had died) had already created a working prototype, his mindset would shift. The "it's impossible" barrier would crumble, and his mind would stop looking for reasons why it couldn't be done and start seeking concrete technical solutions. Ultimately, an elaborate hoax involving a fake video and a fabricated deceased colleague helped the inventor achieve a fundamental scientific breakthrough. I believe that throughout my life, my brain has accumulated various such barriers. That is why I now try to solve problems without the words "it's impossible." What you see above is my attempt to write about myself. Since I’m not currently job hunting, I figure no one is interested in my date of birth or professional background. My advice: when you aren’t sure how to synthesize data or present information in a smart way, turn to artificial intelligence. Here is one version of an "about me" blurb it generated: "It’s not about 'knowing it all' for me; it’s about 'figuring things out and sharing what I learn.' Right now, I’m tinkering with settings, reading up on the biology of aging, gazing at the cosmos, and trying to distill it all into accessible posts. I love connecting disparate things: cars and physics, software and ethics, calculations and paradoxes. In this blog, you’ll find not just ready-made answers, but also my doubts, my mistakes, and how I go about fixing them. If you prefer an honest process over a polished, glossy image—welcome." Wishing you all happiness!
