Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Professor Brian Keating from UCSD, famous Nobel Prize loser.

Brian, do you mind that I keep introducing you like that? UCSD, famous Nobel Prize loser.

Brian, do you mind that I keep introducing you like that?

No, as long as you add the prefix handsome and lovable

as well as with a great aroma in front of loser.

At least one of those three things are true,

so I am perfectly happy to say that.

And Brian, I was thinking of you earlier because I was thinking of lazy words.

I know you have your book coming out, think like a Nobel Prize winner,

and it strikes me that people who think with intense focus and soft problems and are creative,

there's something not lazy about their thinking. Just as a little bit of intro,

I was thinking of three words that are lazy just try and hope so for

instance I was just trying this one idea it seems like a lazy way of doing an idea like if you were I don't know a better way

to explain it and chess is easy to say like oh I was just developing my pieces is a

lazy way of not having to think about what piece to move the best.

Or, oh, I was just volying on the tennis court is a lazy way of trying to think, of not just putting away the opponent.

Oh, I was just trying these random, you know,

theorems out to see if they would work.

It's maybe a lazy way of not really trying to prove a quantum mechanics proof.

I don't know, I'm making that up.

And so just as one example, try is another example like, oh I'm going to try this as opposed to really thinking out
