you know what a Fermi Estimate is used to estimate the incidence of hypothetical objects The Fermi Summon is a maneuver where once you know the goal you want to achieve, you imagine hypothetical things that might fulfill this goal. Then you fermi estimate how many exist and how likely you could find one of the instances, until you find one worth finding. This is one of the tactics I use to cause black swan events In 2021, I estimated that due to QE, the resulting crypto boom, and general scarcity of hope, some rich person would be interested in giving a talented young person like me $50,000 After 3 months of searching, I found the Atlas Fellowship The Fermi Summon is how I'm always in the right place at the right time If agency is a form of time travel, the fermi summon is a form of teleportation do this recursively to find where it would be located, and find where you would find or who you would ask to find information about where it is located diffuse your ideas before searching, but don't do it too much, most people diffuse too much because many weird things exist formula: search_strength * n_instances_exist = n_instances_found
