things Ankit believes (that others might not)

• Strategy matters more than effort, talent, or hard work alone.
• Speed is an underrated advantage.
• Agency compounds.
• Consciousness gives us some ability to alter the probability of our future. We may not control the universe or our starting conditions, but becoming more aware allows us to make choices that increase the probability of certain futures.
• Reality rarely comes in certainties. Thinking in probabilities, possible states, and expected outcomes is often a better approximation of the world and a better way to make decisions over time.
• Understanding world history can accelerate your personal growth.
• Humanity is increasingly splitting into two groups: a majority becoming more reactive, while a smaller group that thinks independently gains disproportionate influence over the future.
• Many religions began as ways to organize society, morality, and law, over generations, they evolved into systems of belief.
• Nature is God.
• Free Will vs. Determinism

  No conclusion, What Ankit understands and his take is that the universe is probabilistic in nature. It throws an N-dimensional space of choices at us at every moment. A lot of the time, we aren't conscious enough to use our free will and take an action that increases the probability of a particular path.

  Sometimes we do.

  Ankit thinks free will is something that's inherently part of us, but using it on our own terms in every action is hard because, as humans, we have biases and inherit different worldviews from the systems we grow up in.
