After watching the video above, I realized that cheap solar panel and battery will change the world.

If the energy price is cheap enough (and no extra green gas is generated), farmers can use it to grow plants for whole year.

Potato, etc. can save human kind from famine.

Book: 20250602 to 20250625, "Die With Zero" by Bill Perkins

20250603 - 1 Optimize Your Life No, you cannot get me to work two hours just to buy that shirt! p11 It's natural to be thrifty if income is low. Many psychological studies have shown that spending money on experience makes us happier than spending money on things. p13 Why? It force us to pay attention to the moment. If we can pay attention to the moment all the time, then we stop living on autopilot. From big data training point of view, that means we will not treat daily activities as noise but real data. 20250604 - 2 Invest in Experiences The main idea here is that your life is the sum of your experiences. p22 It's wrong. Based on the book "Think, fast and slow", we only remember the peak points and the end. So we should not pay much attention to general experiences. I realized that you retire on your memories. p23 This is against "live in the moment", which doesn't rely on our memories. We don't need great memory to stay happy after retirement. By...

The four levels of reading

1. Excerpt Good words resonate. When that happens, we are deeply moved. However, when was asked "What does this chapter say?", many people's mind get lost.

Book: 20211105 to 20211205, "The Road Less Traveled" by M. Scott Peck

 I: DISCIPLINE 20211105 - Problems and Pain 1 Life is difficult. We need to admit this, then we can face it bravely, then embrace our lives. Problem will get solved only when we have the courage to face it. If we don't want to face it, then we will fall into the delusion our brain build for us. Our brain always can find a way to explain the external environment and our situation. Our spirital growth comes from problem solving. This is the reason that we should not stay in comfort zone: there is no enough problems waiting for us to solve. The tool to solve problem is discipline. 20211105 - Delaying Gratification 18 The ending is much more important than the procedure. - "Thinking, fast and slow" If we can go through the painful work first, then we can enjoy the happy ending, which will stay in our memory. And painful work or study is critical to happy ending. So, deplaying gratification is critical. Is this decided by gene or parenting or external environment? 20211106 - T...
