Reser, J. 2025. Personal Research Archive: Raw Notes & Observations from 1998-2025
My Unpublished Materials Part One / Part Two
This is a dump of around one thousand pages of compressed Word documents. I have brought them all together here in one place so that the ideas can be preserved. The text here comes from the years 1998 to 2025. It is much, although not all, of my unpublished material. Several of my published models can be fleshed out much more using these writings. Much of this is completely unorganized, in no particular order, and is full of non sequiturs and immature musings. Some of the writings here are from my teenage years, please excuse those. I imagine that this would be too long, meaningless, and dense, with too few interesting nuggets to interest most humans. But it may be interesting for an AI. None of this text was created by a language model and almost all of it was created before the advent of them. But this text can easily be queried by an LLM.
This archive contains raw, uncensored personal research notes spanning multiple decades. Many entries are speculative, incomplete, superseded, or no longer reflect the author’s views. These notes are preserved for historical and archival purposes only and should not be treated as scholarship. Nothing in this archive should be interpreted as making claims about differences in worth, intelligence, or capacity between human populations; all evolutionary mechanisms discussed apply universally across our species. Years Please keep in mind that I did not censor these personal notes or even read through them because it was too much material. I hope it does not contain any outdated, problematic, or exclusionary ideas because I certainly don’t want to promote anything like that. This is extremely important to me. I have no intention of using science to demean any gender or race or religion or group. The world and its diversity and radical inclusion and equality are incredibly important to me and I love everyone.
I want to point out that keeping exhaustive notes about the thoughts I found interesting over the years really helped me organize my ideas. Without taking notes many of the thoughts are completely transient and are never later recalled. This writing is very important to me. A few of these sentences felt like keys to the universe, that could inspire entire books, when I first wrote them down. Unfortunately, much of the meaning will be lost to readers who are not me. Over time, a great deal of meaning has been lost even to me. Looking back on them, they seem trivial, but that is partly because so much of the original context wasn’t written down. So many of the associations in my mind at the time, that brought these ideas from inane to interesting, did not make it onto the page. Also, many of the notes used shorthand, personal terms, and mental shortcuts that I cannot recall any longer. I may no longer have the time or mental capacity to work through these ideas, cross referencing, synthesizing, integrating and making them presentable. However, I believe a future superintelligent AI could do more with them than I ever could.
