01. MY THREE POSITIVES.
1. A week at the dacha, recharging in nature.
2. Using AI to understand and convey material.
3. The brain has become more active.
02. MY REFLECTIONS AND DISCOVERIES.
There are certain finite resources, such as money, time, brainpower, oxygen, etc., and it seems that they all obey the same laws.
When there is a lot of a resource, it is spent without being saved, not efficiently.
Let’s say you have a lot of free time, then you can always put things off until later or do them slowly, but if you only have 5 minutes, you have to use it efficiently.
You can spend money recklessly, or you can save every penny.
If a person has a lot of money from birth, they are less inclined to save than someone who broke out of poverty and, even as a millionaire, continues to save on small things.
It seems that the key factor here will be the incentive.
The downside is that abundance can lead to degradation.
When a resource is strictly limited, efficiency increases — otherwise, you won’t survive. But here’s the problem: there may not be enough of it for anything useful, only for survival.
Like, you can survive on 100 rubles a day, but the money will only be enough for food.
And there are more intermediate options — neither abundance nor strict austerity.
Compared to ancient times, the average citizen lives like a rich man — a house, food, clothes, etc.
Conditions are changing towards comfort, but are people becoming happier?
We still need something more — rooms, things, money; our ego tells us that it’s not enough, I want more.
And what about efficiency?
Labor productivity is growing, but not due to human qualities, but due to amplifiers — mechanisms, chemistry, AI.
If we could transport a modern person back 300 years, what would their efficiency be like, and would they survive?
On the other hand, if you were to transport an ancient human into the future, yes, their physical strength and survival skills would be top‑notch, but in modern conditions they’re not that necessary.
A joke:
A camel son asks his camel father:
— Dad, why do we need such a big hump?
— Well, you see, son. We can walk through the desert for two months without eating or drinking anything.
— Okay. Dad, why do we need such long fur?
— Well, you see, son. We live in the desert, constantly under the sun, and we don’t get hot.
— Dad, why do we need all this in the Moscow Zoo?
