In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes guest Neal Davies, a former computer science professor and nuclear engineering PhD, currently working at the Urbit Foundation. Their conversation covers a range of intriguing topics including the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet from the 19th century, Neal's experiences balancing generalist and specialist roles, and the influence of AI in both his work and the world at large. Neal also shares his insights on syntax, symbols, and the cultural shifts that have shaped modern consciousness. You can connect with Neal on Twitter @Sigilante or find him on Urbit as @Lagravnokvap.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:19 Exploring the Deseret Alphabet04:02 Challenges and Rewards of Being a Generalist06:47 Impact of AI on Generalism and Specialization08:24 AI in Code and Image Generation13:43 Salvador Dali's Paranoiac Critical Method17:18 Symbolism in Art and Language20:49 The Spiritual Connection with Language30:05 Greek Influence on Language and Zero32:59 Exploring Number Systems35:10 Rational Numbers and Greek Innovations38:12 The Evolution of Linguistic Systems40:29 Cultural Shifts: 1870s to 1960s45:46 The Impact of the 1960s on Modern Thought49:58 The Role of Illegible Spaces in Innovation56:11 Concluding Thoughts and Future DirectionsKey Insights1-Deseret Alphabet as a Cultural and Linguistic Experiment: Neal Davies is deeply fascinated by the 19th-century Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet created to help immigrants in Utah become literate. Its unique structure and religious origins present a profound example of how language can be intentionally shaped to serve a community, although this project ultimately didn't gain widespread adoption.2-Balancing Generalism and Specialization: Neal shares his personal journey of pursuing generalist roles while maintaining expertise in specific fields like computer science and nuclear engineering. He emphasizes the value of broad, diverse knowledge in a world that often rewards specialization. His approach allows for flexibility and creativity in problem-solving, despite the professional challenges generalists may face in a society focused on specialization.3-AI as a Tool for Productivity, Not Replacement: Neal highlights the utility of AI in his work, particularly in code generation and ideation. He discusses how tools like GitHub's Copilot act as force multipliers for developers, offering a starting point that saves time without replacing the critical thinking required for final implementation. AI is seen as a support system for creativity, especially in programming and image generation.4-Syntax and Symbols as Catalysts for Thought: Neal discusses the profound relationship between syntax, symbols, and thought. By exploring different symbol systems, such as mathematical notation or alphabets like Deseret, he argues that they can unlock new ways of thinking. Symbol systems not only shape reasoning but allow people to build layers of understanding and explore more complex ideas.5-Cultural Experimentation and Enclaves: Reflecting on the importance of high variance in human endeavor, Neal supports creating enclaves of culture and thought outside the mainstream. He argues that monoculture, driven by surveillance and conformity, limits the ability to think freely and explore novel solutions. Platforms like Urbit, which emphasize privacy and decentralized communication, provide a space for communities to experiment and innovate without being surveilled or controlled.6-The Failure and Legacy of the 1960s Counterculture: Neal suggests that the cultural revolution of the 1960s was an ambitious attempt at societal transformation that ultimately failed. Co-opted by commercialism, politics, and other forces, the movement couldn't fully realize its vision of reshaping consciousness. However, it planted seeds for future cultural shifts, much like the influence of the Romanticists in the 19th century.7-The Importance of Illegibility in Innovation: Neal explains that true freedom in innovation comes from creating spaces where ideas and communities can evolve without constant oversight. He draws a parallel to Hemingway's theory that the unseen parts of a story are as important as the visible ones. Similarly, innovation flourishes when parts of a system or community remain illegible and unobserved, allowing for creativity and growth beyond the constraints of external control.

Today on the show the guys talk about the Bachelor finale and why they were both surprised at Joey's choice (even though both women are gems). Then, Daniel the Elvis impersonator writes in thinking he might have had a beer with Justin in an airport bar in Atlanta. Finally, Carla the speech pathologist calls in to clue the guys in on the phonetic alphabet, and she offers up a musical WYR.

As audio technology developed during the 1900s, people realized that they needed a clearer way to communicate terms than spelling them out in the normal alphabet.

AGE OF CIVILIZATION: A young mother, cast aside by her community, manages to create a historic cultural contribution to society. Archives of Fabella is a fantasy series about mythical creatures in a magical world. It is created, edited, and produced by Dillon Foley with music by audioblocks.
Here’s why I recommend learning the alphabet that pilots use all the time. How many times have we misunderstood someone over the phone? The similarities in sound between “M” and “N” or “P” and “T” or any other notorious pair in the alphabet may seem harmless, but when communicating important information like addresses they can create a great deal of confusion. If you’re trying to send an email with critical attachments but you misheard someone and made an error somewhere in the characters before the “@”, your message will never arrive. I’m a pilot, and pilots are required to know the phonetic alphabet because it’s used in radio communications when you’re flying and talking with other planes, control towers, or traffic centers. Why not strengthen your communication skills this year by challenging yourself to memorize it as well? The phonetic alphabet is not difficult to learn, but it sure is helpful; it can be a powerful hedge against tragic miscommunication. Learning this handy alphabet can be as fun as you make it! At 2:18 in the video above, you can see a chart of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. I invite you to explore the internet for different formats that suit your taste—some charts even include morse code, too! Practice spelling words out loud using the phonetic alphabet, or quiz your spouse, family, or friends. Be careful not to be a showoff, though; no one likes an ostentatious display… or in other words, an “Oscar Sierra Tango Echo November Tango Alpha Tango India Oscar Uniform Sierra” display. Learning this handy alphabet can be as fun as you make it! Check out this neat online puzzle games to help you memorize it. For the most part, numbers are pronounced the same, but there are some interesting exceptions. For example, do you know why “nine” is always pronounced as “niner?” Well, if you were flying over German airspace and tried to communicate “nine,” it could easily be mistaken for “nein,” the German word for “no.” For more information on learning and practicing this, check out these resources: Alphabet Chart Phonetic Alphabet Quiz I hope you found this insightful and are feeling a little more inspired to sharpen your communication skills this year! As always, reach out to me via phone or email if you have any questions about buying, selling, or investing in real estate. I’d also be happy to chat with you about where our market is headed. I look forward to hearing from you, but until then, stay “Sierra Alpha Foxtrot Echo.”

How much do you know about the history of your languages? Where do the words come from, and why do we use them?

Today Frances reads from the 1907 Christmas Budget - a special edition, written by the seven "home siblings" (Enid, Edmund, Arthur, Bernard, Cuthbert, Avice & Vera), along with contributions from their parents (Rev Dr John Charles Cox and Mrs Marian Cox.) The poems, limericks and stories in the Christmas Budget were all written by the Machell Cox family.The Budget was read aloud by Bernard, Cuthbert, Avice and Vera; they read it to each other, at home in Sydenham on Christmas Day, after tea and presents. It was then posted to the other UK siblings - Enid in Liverpool, Edmund in Derbyshire and Arthur in Plymouth. It was then posted to Wilfred in Canada, Neville in South Africa and Aldwyn in Nyasaland (Malawi). It was then posted back to England and was stored in the bottom of a wardrobe and then in a garage for about 70 years.The 1907 Christmas Budget, along with the rest of the Machell Cox Family Budgets (80 years of content), are safely preserved in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Edmund is the great grandfather of Frances, and she is thoroughly enjoying deciphering the handwriting and sharing these fascinating documents through this podcast. All content is subject to copyright, and belongs to Frances Thompson and the Bodleian Library. Why not check out - @CoxLetters - on Twitter.
