I want to share my predictions for 2035, primarily out of curiosity. My goal is to look back on this post and see how many of these predictions came true. This exercise isn’t just fun—it’s also a way to optimize my judgment, much like how an AI model fine-tunes its parameters based on data. Similarly, I aim to refine my thinking by comparing it to the reality of 2035. Admittedly, making bold predictions is risky, as it’s a form of “standing out,” something Jordan Peterson cautions against in his "Zebra Story." If you haven’t heard it, I highly recommend watching "The Zebra Story | Jordan Peterson" . For context, I often jokingly refer to the internet as God with my friends and family. We call it "Dev" or "Bhagwan" in Hindi. If the internet is God or "Dev", then AI is its amplified form—a “Mahadev”. In mathematical terms, if the internet is f(x) , then AI is 10^f(x) . This isn’t to say there’s nothing more powerful coming, but for now, A...

When I am curious and doing this exercise in my mind, I am not sure about counting the number of whys, to be frank. The "5 whys" is pretty much a natural flow of questioning that I've been doing without much effort for years. Recently I was having a conversation and we were discussing how to change an outcome. This question was a trigger for me to think about the process of decision-making without our minds and how it leads to an outcome. Let me try to put my thoughts in a structured way. Imagine a machine that takes inputs and gives an output. And it has various stages in between. Our mind is this machine. The stages are Inputs, Enhancing the Inputs, Judgement, Decision, Action, Outcome and Experience. Let's understand each of these seven stages. Stage 1: Inputs This stage represents the raw inputs that the mind is receiving. It can come from many sources the ...
