  20260808 - Chapter One The Flowering of Human Consciousness - 1 It's surprise that Eckhart Tolle got almost everything wrong, when they are related to science. No doubt he has perfect control of his mind(consciousness), but he is not humble in front of science. There are a lot of things that science itself cannot handle properly, so far. We still need to learn to live in the moment. 20260809 - Chapter Two Ego: The Current State of Humanity - 25 Ego is our major obstacle. At that stage, some children refer to themselves in the third person. "Johnny is hungry." p28 Can I play this trick? If I use my name to replace "I" in thinking, then the real "I" is behind my thoughts. If I notice the difference between these two all the time, then it will be much easier to prevent myself been controlled by emotion or subconsciousness. The ego isn't wrong; it's just unconscious. p42 The ultimate boss is not the ego, but "I". How can I sto...

  20260724 - The Big Picture When the size is increased, the "cost" per unit and the "production" per unit are also changed. The cost(consumption) is getting lower, and the production is getting higher. Here, the production doesn't always mean good things. It could be something like crime rate. There are a lot of factors affect those changes. When we remove a factor as bottleneck, another factor will become the bottleneck. This is astounding. What is changing? New inventions such as solar panel, lithium batter, computer, EV, AI, robots, autonomous driving, smartphone, Internet, Starlink, etc. A lot of limitations will disappear, and then many new bottlenecks will pop up. No matter what, cities will become bigger and bigger. The living cost will be lower, and the average income will be higher. Will this rapid growth of scale make cities more fragile? No. Distributed energy(solar panel and lithium battery) and distributed intelligence(local AI) make each ...

Shadow photons have no effect. p46 Shadow photon? I prefer to understand it as "A photon with large possible field". It's energy, not mass. "The possible" cannot interact with the real: non-existent entities cannot deflect real ones from their paths. p49 Maybe, trillions of "the possible" may generate "emergence" to form light? 20260716 - 3. Problem-solving Bayesian inference is not perfect, but it's the best one. The story of the Inductivist Turkey is easy to solve: ask for the reason behind the events, instead of accepting it as it is. 20260718 - 4. Criteria for Reality The problem of solipsism is that it doesn't help to make prediction. If there is no objective external world, then everything and any rule may change at any time. 2026072...

  20260720 - Preface: On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs There was no bullshit jobs before industrial revolution. Is it necessary waste? 20260721 - Chapter 1: What Is a Bullshit Job? The author argues that "bullshit jobs" refer to those that other people can bypass and easily handle directly. According to this definition, in the age of AI, all white-collar jobs are in big trouble. PS: Once humanoid robots become widespread, blue-collar jobs will also be in big trouble. There is a very thin line between extreme luxury and total crap. p22 What is valuable extreme luxury? The ones that improve our life quality and not just because of market branding. Most of documents are useless as no one will read them. It's good idea to let AI to generate them based on relevant information, such as meeting recordings and computer source code. 20260722 - Chapter 2: What Sorts of Bullshit Jobs Are There? There is large latency between technology development and social structure/t...

  20260714 - 1 • Normal is what you’re used to How do we repay the gifts that came to us unbidden and more or less at random? p5 The real question is, how do we know what is right and what is wrong? We need to optimize our perception of the world, in our whole life. Those are the things that no one can take away from us. p24 Reward/money is not that important as it's external stuff, which belongs to "environment". Environment, Behaviour, Capabilities, Beliefs, Identity, and Purpose(Meaning and Mission). 20260715 - 2 • No one deserves anything On the other hand, if we acknowledge the issue of gift guilt, we can deal with it head-on and find ways to overcome it. p42 Gift guilt could be a problem to many wealthy people, and a lot of people when UHI is implemented. 20260715 - 3 • The myth of the level playing eld The first and most important premise is that people are equal. p48 Strongly disagree with this one. People are not equal, on all sides. But it's cri...
