Summary: Current Scientific Understanding of Season 5
Summary: Season 5 of Current Scientific Understanding
Hello, W3C, this is the final installment of the Chinese New Year special for Season 5 of W3C’s Elite Day Class. Starting next Monday, we’ll be talking about our new book, The Seven Rules of Power. Today, we will summarize the new concepts, breakthroughs and ideas mentioned in the single articles of Season 5 so far, in addition to the serial readings of the new book. As the usual rule, you can review the articles by reading the manuscripts, and you can also use this summary as an index, click the link to go back to the original article, and it is also convenient for you to bookmark it or share it. I wish you a productive day.
Frontier Report
[Dreams] Scientists have been able to intervene in, and even manipulate, dreams. And this knowledge has been attempted to be used for commercial purposes.
[ADHD] The brain of a patient is like such a car: it has the engine of a race car, but only the brakes of a bicycle. Not only children, but also adults have ADHD; ADHD is not about not wanting to concentrate, it’s about not being able to concentrate; hyperactivity isn’t about fidgeting, it’s about being creative. the ADHD brain doesn’t have the ability to automatically switch networks as needed.
[Webb] The true uniqueness of the James Webb Space Telescope, its design needs, its most important mission, is to observe the earliest group of galaxies in the universe.
[Near-Death Experience] The brain secretes hallucinogens and serotonin, produces pleasurable sensations, and so on during moments of near-death, resulting in a series of hallucinations. People wake up and brainstorm and reorganize these feelings into an experience.
[Nuclear Fusion] The current situation of nuclear fusion power generation is that the scientific difficulties have not yet been fully resolved, the technical difficulties have just begun, and commercial profitability is simply nonsense.
The “hot hand effect”, also known as the “hot hand effect”, first came out of basketball, meaning that when a player is in shape, because he has hit a few shots in a row, his confidence increases greatly, and then he is even more successful in hitting consecutive shots. No matter what angle, how far away, how to throw how to have, such as into no one’s territory, simply like playing crazy. The hot hand, about can make the shooting percentage increased by 1.2% to 1.4%.
[Proton] The inside of a proton is actually a sea of quarks. Quarks are constantly bubbling out of the proton at all times, constantly being produced and annihilated. The inside of the proton is not calm, and there are much larger quarks in it, with more mass than the entire proton. This is what physicists analyze using machine learning.
Cognitive upgrades
[Value Judgment] A value judgment is a judgment about whether something is good or bad, a suggestion about what we should do to make it good. Can it be a factual judgment, should it be a value judgment.
[Identity] Identity is what you think you are, and how you want to appear to others as a person. It is your identity – not interest claims and perceptions – that determines your perceptions, words, and actions.
Even if you have the subjective will and ability, you need to wait for an objective time. If the time is not right, don’t move; if the time is right, move quickly. “Knowing the opportunity” is also the key to getting things just right, and the key to mediocrity.
Safe behavior and ineffective behavior: Does that behavior reduce your anxiety and make you more willing to engage in that activity, or does it exacerbate your anxiety and make you less willing to engage in that activity. The former is a safe behavior and the latter is an ineffective behavior.
[Emotional Labeling] The easiest and most effective way to dissipate a negative emotion or to reinforce a positive one is to ask the question, “How are you feeling right now?” You just need to clearly say what your emotion is, that’s all. Whether they are negative or positive, we should identify them, label them, and share them.
[Tune in with force] Tune in with force means to call on the ability of a tool. I’ve never done this job before, but I know what popular tools are available to do this job now; I don’t have those tools in my hand either, but I can get those tools in my hands quickly; I haven’t used those tools, but I can learn them now.
If the statistical sample is too small, then all kinds of extremes are possible, and you shouldn’t take it seriously at all. If the data is small, don’t jump to conclusions.
The level of opinion has reached the level of the current discussion and captures the key logical relationships. Your words are worth listening to only if you are in the right place.
Radical Behaviorism] Not only do you not need to consider the deeper ideological factors of why a person behaves the way he does, but you only need to consider the most immediate reasons here and now. The solution is to compensate for his feelings.
[Price’s Law] Half of the total value of any organization is created by the square root of the total number of people in that organization.
[Easterling’s Paradox] The higher the income the higher the happiness; on the other hand, as a person’s income gets higher, his happiness does not follow. This is because the happiness we derive from our income is not just the happiness that the income itself gives us-it’s the happiness we derive from comparing ourselves to others.
[Absolute Happiness] and [Relative Happiness] Health, family, and a real life bring us absolute happiness. Money and status bring comparative happiness, relative happiness. The pursuit of absolute happiness is much more tangible and easier than the pursuit of relative happiness.
New understanding of nouns
[Nostalgia] There are two reasons for nostalgia. One is that people are naturally nostalgic for the time when they were young. The second is because of facing ‘uncertainty’.
Style] Style is the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor, the X-factor.
[Job Hopping] For the bottom 25% of income earners, job hopping is recommended. For those in the top 25% of high earners, you’re better off seeking to move up within the company. You need to have an “explore” period, followed by an “exploit” period.
[Time Management] People generally spend too much time on low-return issues, and this is a wrong time allocation strategy. Time should be spent on these three activities - the first is where your choices and actions will have a significant impact on the outcome. The second is reading and studying. The third is activities you enjoy.
[U.S.-Soviet rivalry] Why did the Soviet Union fail? The Soviet Union belonged only to the age of industrialization: because it refused to evolve, it was bound to fail in the age of electronic technology.
[Values] Whether in China or the West, the values of the ancients were very different from ours. So don’t use the values of the present to ask for the past, don’t use the values of the past to ask for the present, and don’t use the values of the present to ask for the future.
[Good Falsehood] Now “good falsehood” is not so much that you are good at using a certain tool, but that you are good at thinking of, getting, and using any of the tools provided by the modern technological circle.
[Efficiency] Efficiency is important, of course, but if it’s the only thing that matters, it’s a sad route to competition. To be only efficient is essentially to recognize your substitutability: as long as someone else is more efficient than you, they can immediately replace you.
[Heroes] Heroes are heroes because of their ‘energy’. Energy = Endowment + Courage. In the hero narrative, courage is more honorable than intelligence.
