Zero to 1: November's Topic, Revealing the Big Picture, AI Updates & Question of the Month

Welcome to Month Six! You can view all of the previous newsletters here.

Last month, we explored The True Nature of Information, and this month, we’ll focus on how information impacts us.

We’ll dispel the belief that good information alone can solve many of humanity’s problems. We will dive deeper, examining how information enters the mind and what happens next.

This Month’s Topic: Information & The Human Mind

This month, we will explore:

• Zero to 1: How We Process Information

• Zero to 1: How We Turn Information into Meaning

• Deep Dive: Why Believing Is Seeing—How Our Minds Shape Reality Through Meaning-Making

We are now six months into Stefan Speaks, and it’s time for me to share the big picture.

The Big Picture

Each month, we delve deeper into what it means to be human, peeling back the layers of our psyche. By examining each psychological layer, we uncover our true selves and understand how we actively shape our personal reality. This journey allows us to gain a profound understanding of our own psychology, increase empathy towards others, and contribute to healing our world.

Here is what we have covered to date:

• Perception & Reality

• The Human Condition

• Our Fundamental Problem

• Mindfulness

• What Is Information?

Here is what’s coming up in the next few months:

• Information & People

• Beliefs & Ideology

• Value Systems

• Understanding Motivation & Behavior

• Identity

• Meaning & Mean-Making

• Consciousness

• » Model Reveal

This will help build the foundation for the model I will share—a map that will provide you with a profound understanding of yourself and others. Furthermore, you can apply this model in any area of your life involving interactions or relationships with people.

Now, let’s move on to tech.

AI & Tech

Personality NFT was started as part of an NFT and Metaverse project. The foundational idea was an experiment to see if we can:

• Build a system that helps people become more self-aware using technology and psychometrics.

• Explore the right mix of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for personal growth through innovative reward systems.

Considering that personal growth is one of the most valuable pursuits—since it increases the contribution one can make to the world—we are exploring alternative economic models that reward people for growing and helping others grow.

This seems like a more viable path towards a UBI-type system that can actually work because it also enhances well-being and universal care.

To this end, over the next few months, I will share a practical guide to understanding macroeconomics, the demographics that drive it, and the role of revolutionary technologies such as AI and crypto.

Project Updates

AI for Humanity Project: Personality NFT

1. Traffic is up, and we’ve just launched a Substack and Community Hub.

2. New experiment in using AI for podcasting, social media, and video generation.

3. Current Focus: Finding product-market fit versus scaling the the Personality NFT AI BOT on Telegram.

   1. Scaling experiments revealed that we can quickly scale users but need product-market fit.

   2. Now that we have insight into what’s possible, we need product-market fit so the scale is meaningful.
