Hmm. Lifespan ∝ 1/Fragility. Fragility should be measured in hertz. Antifragility should be a frequency response shaping function.

Over time, I find an increasing percentage of your tweets incomprehensible. I am not sure if this speaks poorly of either of us.

Umm... if 1/x is a mystery to someone, they have a lot of remediation to deal with.

Yeah, qualitative notion of inverse, and arithmetic notion of 1/x should be intuitive. But 1/time = freq, not so much

It's intuitive to people who've studied signal processing or control theory, but I wouldn't expect others to get it

That idea keeps coming up, but I don't think it's possible, tbh. Most people develop appreciation in specific domains

Teaching "general" math intuition as hard as teaching AIs physics ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/techreports/1991/314.pdf

or think in terms of music systems. "Frequency response shaping"="tuning a speaker by putting a heavy book on it"

:) once you do enough homework, romance gets squeezed out of you,& you avoid the religion when music metaphor will do

Need to know both domains locally a little bit first. Otherwise it's like translation without knowing either language
