@Human Mint How much philosophy and spiritual work have you done before you discovered Leo's content?

Probably one year.

What were you publishing?

What science were you doing?

New Space, in a top research centre. There’s currently a big shift happening with nanosatellite Low Earth Orbit constellations. In the past, only space agencies like NASA or a few large organizations could afford to build and operate satellites, which were typically large, very expensive, and placed in high orbits to last for decades.

Now things are very different. Thanks to miniaturization and cheaper launch options, it’s possible to deploy small satellites for a few thousand euros each. This opens the door for much more flexible uses, from Earth observation to communications and scientific experiments. The trade-off is that these satellites are much simpler individually, so large-scale services (like global internet coverage) require hundreds or even thousands of them working together as a coordinated network.

This introduces a new engineering challenge: managing not just a single complex satellite, but an entire distributed ecosystem in orbit. Each satellite is already a layered system (hardware, software, onboard processing, and reconfigurable or programmable components) and when you multiply that by a large constellation, the complexity grows significantly.

My research focused on this problem. I developed a theoretical observability framework across all these layers; meaning a structured way to monitor and understand what is happening inside each layer of the satellite and across the whole constellation. The idea is to define how information should be collected at every level, how it can be communicated between heterogenous layers, and how system-wide behavior can be inferred efficiently from that data, given very short windows of earth communication.

After developing the theoretical model, I implemented and tested it in a real nanosatellite payload, and also used a virtualized environments to simulate large-scale network interactions. This allowed me to validate that the approach is technically feasible in realistic conditions.

I was the first to openly publish a solution to this problem. It is believed that companies such as SpaceX have developed similar capabilities internally, but because they provide a significant competitive advantage, those solutions are not publicly disclosed. The good thing of public research centres is that I got all the very expensive infrastructure needed to conduct my research and then the solution was freely published (after of course very well mentioning in my paper whose funds helped me to do so). This kind of work is particularly important as New Space companies continue to scale up the number of satellites in orbit and need more efficient ways to manage them.

After I finished this work I left the research centre, I was just there for the mental high challenge.

PD: Really bad experience to write a paper and get it published. I particularly disliked by how autistically peaky the format and paper had to be written in, you make a wrong table format and a year long work doesn't get published. What most annoyed me was finishing all the work, writing the paper and then see how all the research bosses and higher peers sneakily signed the document as co-authors and you couldn't do shit about that. Of course some colleagues I wrote myself the name as they really contributed with their expertise, but the other 8 who just signed, lmao. It's me who has been nights without sleep trying to solve this problem, not you who just signed the paper; I thought to myself.

I have and I do criticize academic philosophy sharply. Most academic philosophers are science-brained. Their philosophy is just a thin cover for science.

Are philosophers who existed before science also science-brained then? Take Aristotle as an example. He existed before science (I guess you could argue he kind of invented it). The correct label for him is rationalist.

I think what you're really critiquing is rationalism, not science.

Face palm at the instagram video Leo shared of the guy sharing why the Universe isn't eternal from the physics standpoint. The rules of physics not "allowing" the Truth that the Universe is eternal is just plain silly. You can see, by how your mind formulates the phrase itself. 

No assumptions were questioned at all. The laws of physics are not binding the Universe, those laws are products of the Universe. When you speak of the "Universe" these laws must be nested within. Physics is an artifact of existence, it does not govern the existence that is responsible for it in the first place. 

He's also saying that the death of stars (and for the sake of argument, the death of anything in the Universe) means that the Universe can't be eternal because this implies time as he states that the stars 'would have' burned out eternally long ago. Everything in the Universe including the stars eventually changes form in some way or dies yet the present moment itself is still untouched, undefeated and very much prior. 

He's placed physics before what is. He's already considering physics as Truth, and because of that he obscures Truth. He's right that physics doesn't allow something coming from nothing. Physics came from nothing. Where else would it come from. 

I noticed that Truth/Reality is constantly overlooked even though people graze the answer constantly. People find Infinite Regress a problem, but infinite regress is not a problem, it's the solution. We you find that nothing would be a problem, that means you found the answer, Why would nothing or infinite be a problem? 

It's about whatever answer the mind is prepared to handle. It's okay if 5+5=10 but then it isn't when reality comes from nothing.

If you could think for yourself, you wouldn’t really be concerned about this place potentially being a cult🤷🏻‍♀️ worrying about it, is just implicitly calling yourself weak 🙂 and other people too for that matter 🫠
