20191107 - Thoughts: "The Fermi Paradox" By Tim Urban

The Fermi Paradox
https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/fermi-paradox.html

Everything is just illusion, because our eyes, ears, brains can only reflect one aspect of the real world.

So it's good to think out of the box.

ASI is almost certain thing, so, silicon-based artificial super intelligence suppose to beat any carbon-based intelligence. Is ASI confined by light speed?

There are at least 2500 solar systems within 1000 light years' distance to our solar system.If no one can surpass light speed, ASI needs thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years to reach Earth. Maybe that's another possible explanation of the Fermi Paradox.

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. "Well, it's about religion/education/war..." OMG 2. Summary In addition to flashing words and sentences, this level has been able to quickly identify the central point of the article. At this level, the book is understood. However, when was asked "What did you learn from this book?", many people's mind get lost again. "What did I learn? Well, I'm not sure." 3. Study In this level, you can clearly compare the content of the book with your own knowledge system and incorporate it into your own perception. In this way, the book will not be easily forgotten. However, a few years later, if you ask him/her: "Two years ago, you mentioned that book was very good and you learned a lot from it. What do you think the content of that book has had on you in the past two years?" ...

How can we avoid the similar mistakes those farm animals made? 1. Don't be lazy We need to learn, think and discuss things together, when life is good. Bad days may come anytime. Hard work itself is not enough. It doesn't guarantee good life in long term. 2. No one should be stay in power for too long time 3. Need check and balance of power Only ambition can go against ambition. Independence of justice system is critical. 4. Democracy has its own weakness "Tyranny of the majority" is real. That's how the benefit of cats and dogs are sacrificed by admitting rats are friends. 5. Education is also critical Nazies and extremists are formed when they were young. 20231211 - Chapter 7 20231211 - Chapter 8 20231211 - Chapter 9 20231211 - Chapter 10 One bug of this book: everyone is Napoleon.

20230825 - INTRODUCTION: Why Storytelling is Essential to Success I think storytelling is about how to make audience thinking a bit. Not through their conscious, but more through their subconscious. Good story impact to people, but don't help people much. That's why, Solomen King, whom was called the wisest man in the world, didn't let people live a better life, but himself is so famous. PART ONE: STORYTELLING ESSENTIALS 20230827 - Chapter 1: What Makes Stories so Powerful? Story is all about subconscious. That's why emotion, face, connection, etc. are so important. Our subconscious only accept the information that are, looks like, related to ourselves directly. Why the movie "The Godfather" is so good? These kind of people are the one in power. If we understand them more, then we are more likely respond to them properly. All advertisements and public relationship are about storytelling. It could be the most important ingredient to  entrepreneurship. 20230830 ...
