Your brain is wired to get 4 subjects wrong. AI is built on all 4. 🧠 Nobel laureate 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 (NYU) calls it a paradox. Evolution shaped our intuition for hunting and gathering, not for 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀. That's why we misjudge rare risks, distrust middlemen and find quantum physics baffling. So how did we build AI out of them? 🔭 For 2,000 years, people followed Aristotle: heavy things fall faster. In 1603 Galileo checked. He rolled balls down a ramp and timed them. Double the time, 4x the distance. Heavy or light, same rule. Collect data, spot the pattern, fit a formula, predict. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. ♟️ Even AlphaGo, the AI that beat Go world champions, was "cooked up" from older ideas in statistics and game theory. 💡 The pioneers didn't trust their gut. They mastered the hard subjects, then went one step further. Want to understand AI?
