Treat yourself as a project

For quite some time recently, I have been surprised to discover a phenomenon: Every day at noon, I sit on the grass with a Bible in my hand and bask in the sun, and my brain is most active when the Pearl River flows in front of me! It’s like there is a lake in my mind that can never calm down, and various plans or ideas often burst out at any time. They seem to be full of urge and passion when they appear, which often forces me to stop at any time to record and plan. Perhaps it’s the optimism bestowed upon me by the sun, but I often look at the Canton Tower on the riverside and the large group of CBDs surrounding it with a contented face. At the same time, when I looked there, I seemed to be looking at myself: it seemed that the expression on the face was clearly visible…

I can’t evaluate the value those ideas will bring to me. I just feel that recording as soon as possible is the “best practice” I can do at that moment. I often reflect and sort out the thoughts in my mind, and I can actually quite objectively and truly realize how fatal my shortcomings are, and how urgent it is to deal with those “bugs”. Therefore, in this state, I was both painful and happy; fearful and urgent; tense all the time, but also “arrogant and aloof”. You are right in saying this is the waking state. It is also correct to say that it is also confused. Once you start to treat yourself as a project, this state will continue forever. Because the best version of yourself is always the one tomorrow…

If you are a person who is good at observation and reflection and comparison, you will actually see many shortcomings in the people around you: they are ignorant, selfish, hypocritical, deceitful, and you can even say that they are the “evil” itself. But humans created by God are never perfect, so in order to socialize, you have to choose to be good at discovering the “good” in them: they are friendly, they are cute, they are optimistic, they are progressive, you can even say that they are so beautiful because they are God’s darlings. But when you look at the coin from the side, you will further discover that they can be both good and evil, and contradictory expressions exist almost everywhere…

But it’s good to know these things, at least it helps us not to be too extreme in liking a person’s “beauty” and not being too extreme in hating a person’s “ugliness”. What we really need to do is to use them as a control group in one life experiment after another, and extract the “essence” from what they say and do that will help us do things better. I think this is probably how “only one scoop of three thousand weak water” is used.

2023 At the beginning of the year, in the three years since ChatGPT was born, many unexpected events have happened in the world: the global demand for computing power has skyrocketed, which has explosively boosted the scarcity of chips. The stock price of Nvidia, which occupies the absolute dominance of the world’s chips, has almost reached new highs. It has rushed all the way to the point where the market value of the first 5 in human history is one trillion US dollars, and it still remains high. Following closely, various phenomenon-level AI products such as Claude Code, vibe coding, Clawdbot are coming out at an increasingly faster speed. AI While the world has briefly experienced saturation in computing power, it has further boosted the market’s demand for “storage”. The market value of leading companies such as Micron Technology and Samsung Electronics has also seen an exponential increase, and all of this has only happened in less than half a year…

So while the world’s leading companies are vying to deploy the AI ​​sector, ordinary people’s sense of smell can be said to be OUT to the extreme. Not only do the vast majority of people think that this attitude has nothing to do with them, but it also creates a “backfire effect” on people who use AI to do serious work, which means they will say the grapes are sour. In the final analysis, many people do not clearly realize the staggering impact this vigorous AI revolution will have on them in the next three, five, or even ten or twenty years. The reason for this pity or even regret is simply due to the extremely cloudy brains of the parties involved.

**If you still feel good about yourself when you look back on today a year from now, then the same cycle will probably be true for you in the past few years. But that’s pretty good! After all, in this era, living stupidly and self-consistently year after year is also an ability… **
