The ability to update/learn is just as important as critical thinking.

Update/Let's talk about Trump's lightning kidnapping of the Venezuelan president. He's also recently eyeing Greenland. "I don't care about international law, I'm guided by morality." That statement makes it clear. It inevitably reminds me of a historical figure. In the 1930s, he clearly hated Stalin's Soviet Union the most. The Soviet-German rivalry was the main event, and everyone thought it was inevitable. The British even hoped they would quickly take over the Soviet Union. However, his approach was to first swiftly conquer Poland and Belgium, then brutally beat the verbally adept France, leading to World War II. Yet, this man singled out Germany and Russia as old friends and staunch allies, even signing a non-aggression pact. By the way, he also once used special paratroopers to swiftly rescue his militarily incompetent Italian boss. It was around that time that the League of Nations became virtually ineffective.

Update/In a recent interview, Musk's "All in AI/Robot" mentality is evident, far surpassing his earlier focus on electric cars. Musk stated, "Robots will replace humans in surgery within three years, making medical school meaningless." The latter part is debatable, but the first part seems inevitable. During the Industrial Revolution, machines replaced our hands and feet. Robots emerged to replace humans. This is chilling; an era already marked by declining human reproductive capacity is now witnessing the emergence of AI and robot replacement—it's like a synchronized signal. What will they replace? The more specific the task you perform, the more likely it is to be replaced. Almost every major professional field will be thoroughly studied by AI/Robots, far surpassing the already inconsistent abilities and attitudes of individual humans (even in clinical medicine). Let's bid farewell to the historical view that physical labor created humanity. The next generation of human capabilities will depend on imagination and organizational skills.

Update/Don’t look in the rearview mirror, All in the future! There are at least three things to choose from 1/Alternative applications of robot scenarios 2/AI replaces traditional software applications 3/Crypto-assets subvert traditional financial applications

Update/Seeing the Ambition of Great Entrepreneurs. I've cut a screenshot of this very interesting news interview. ByteDance started from scratch, something the founders themselves often couldn't explain clearly, and there was no way to benchmark against it. Even top-tier investors couldn't understand or imagine it in the early stages.

Not understanding is precisely a component of ultimately understanding.

Update/Remember someone asked me: 1) How to become the best marketer? 2) How to have the opportunity to start a business? My answer: 1) If you're doing marketing with the premise of working for someone else, remember to go to top-tier companies and sell the best products. The premise is that these companies need you. 2) Starting a business is different. A true entrepreneur who can start anytime, from selling terrible products and managing a makeshift team, has no concept of timing. Microsoft had a saying back then: "Eat your own shit, even if it's a terrible product, you have to start." Entrepreneurs start from a state of utter despair, and things get better and better. You need to find a situation worse than what you're in now, like that teacher from Hunan who never explicitly mentioned hardship, never saw any supernatural forces, and only fought back from the brink of despair.

Update/A comforting voice message with a friend. Regarding the so-called goal-oriented approach, I say there are no grand goals. Schopenhauer and others believed that life has no inherent subjective purpose; the end result is the same for everyone. The distinction lies in the process. The scale of this process varies in its density. What is delayed gratification? Is it measured in days, years, or decades? "Cultivation and three meals a day, a share of hardship, a share of experience—this is the most realistic, positive, and even normalized process of life." So-called growth requires having something to do. Getting rich overnight is unrealistic. Furthermore, it must be said that what is meant to come will come naturally, whether it's good fortune finally arriving or punishment and retribution finally arriving.

Update/The new generation of Bitcoin is showing great promise, causing the price of gold, its ancestor, to rise. We'll wait and see if we've gotten on board yet.
