Strangely enough, I can kinda relate to him on a certain level. He's a wise cracking tough guy, but once you dig deep enough you start to realize he has a big heart. He makes the wrong decisions sometimes but it's hard to blame him considering what he's been through.

@imaginejim I love Deadpool for the same reasons. Him and CGR are very similar, but CGR cannot break the fourth wall, so his story feels more contained, serious and real. There are times to be serious (just read Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History).
@imaginejim In the end, he's just a man who's suffered incredibly terrible loss, and instead of fighting for revenge, he fights to prevent others from suffering the fate that he did. For justice. Justice in his own, dark and twisted way, but justice nonetheless.
@imaginejim That is until Thanos kills everyone and he lives on Earth alone for many years. He becomes the Spirit of Vengeance. He's lost his marbles. For the first time in a long time, he had wanted company. Someone to love or to kill. But there was nobody.
@imaginejim And when Galactus arrives, he takes his chance for revenge. He fails, but he later succeeds. He is killed though, and sent to Valhalla.

Odin sends him back in time to when Thanos is an infant. Frank has the intention to kill him. To prevent the deaths of millions.
@imaginejim I see this as the same motivation as when he was the Punisher. It comes full circle at this point. And instead of pulling the trigger, he ends up deciding to raise Thanos to prevent him from being evil. He has hope that he has the power to change things.
@imaginejim It's Thanos, though, so you can imagine how this turns out. While his actions were reckless, and maybe even wrong, but his heart is in the right place.
@imaginejim He is constantly growing and evolving, you can especially see this when he meets his younger Punisher self.

He makes a lot of bad, and even selfish or impulsive decisions, but in the end he's just a man who wants his wife and children back.
@imaginejim Other than that, he's just insanely badass, and a beautiful combination between Rider's, Heralds and the Punisher. He's also hilarious and insane. Super compelling character.

Nice to discover Judea Pearl ask a fundamental question. What's an 'inductive bias'?


I crucial step on the road towards AGI is a richer vocabulary for reasoning about inductive biases.

explores the apparent impedance mismatch between inductive biases and causal reasoning. But isn't the logical thinking required for good causal reasoning also not an inductive bias?

An inductive bias is what C.S. Peirce would call a habit. It is a habit of reasoning. Logical thinking is like a Platonic solid of the many kinds of heuristics that are discovered.

The kind of black and white logic that is found in digital computers is critical to the emergence of today's information economy. This of course is not the same logic that drives the general intelligence that lives in the same economy.
