Recently, I have learned a lot from the small officials in Bohai talking about ” 99% of the Complete Qin and Han Empire ” written by Emperor Wen Wen and Emperor Han Jing, especially the passage at 23:00:
Generally speaking, the bureaucracy in the early Han Dynasty was small, the system was simple, and the government had no idea of intervening in the economy as a whole, so it was super economical. To feed the entire bureaucracy at that time, the food needed every year was only a few hundred thousand shi. Even if it is calculated on the basis of one million shi, only about one eight percent of the country’s land can feed this bureaucracy. This is an excellent existence of government operating costs in the entire history of China.
Although this system is simple, it is not simple. The central government’s control over the situation has not weakened at all. This period of time, on the contrary, was the era in which criminal cases and social conflicts were the least in the entire Han Dynasty.
“Tao Te Ching” once said such a sentence: “If you are too high, you will know it. Secondly, praise it with relatives. Secondly, fear it. Secondly, humiliate it.”
– The best level is that the people below only know that there is such a leader.
– If the level is not good, it is the people below who praise and praise the leader.
– Worst of all, everyone is afraid of this leader.
– The last thing is that everyone is scolding this product.
Who do you think you are scolding? Unexpectedly, Emperor Han Jing’s Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was also caused by tossing. After watching this video, I was wondering again, what is the separation of imperial power, royal power, and ministerial power?
Watching this series of videos always gives people a strong sense of “inaction” that emphasizes the art of Huang Lao, and I don’t understand it very well;
I watched “Three Thousand Miles of Chang’an” in a daze on the weekend, and I was so moved. Then I re-acquainted with Li Bai, the son of a businessman who wants to become an official through the dry papers. I kept muttering in my heart, Li Bai’s family is rich, why Do you have to be an official? It could be that, in those days, you had money and were insecure. A piece of paper can turn your wealth into ashes. However, Li Bai clearly practiced Taoism, but he failed to realize his political ambitions all his life, and it was Gao Shi who finally gained fame.
Then I saw an article ” Gpt4 developers take the Kolmogorov complexity mathematically strictly constrained and explain the reason for the intelligence of gpt4 “. Reminds me of the outrageous story I saw some time ago: Gzip+ kNN text classification actually beat Transformers: no pre-training, 14 lines of code implementation
The three seemingly irrelevant life experiences have produced wonderful chemical reactions today. I suddenly wanted to understand that the meaning of Wuwei is to admit the limitations of the law of causality.
Human subjective initiative—as a major premise that is often overlooked, you have to have a certain “purpose” to act, that is, to change the status quo with the preset final result. Accurate goal setting requires repeated deduction and summary of the law of causality in the real world. The degree of mastery of causality is the level of intelligence. The level of intelligence depends on whether you master lossy compression or lossless compression, because the essence of compression is to use less information to simulate all the real information. Being smart is to restore more things with less cost, and being stupid is to restore more things at a higher cost. This cost is academically defined as Kolmogorov complexity. It has an upper limit but is unreachable. Some computable variants, such as conditional time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity, are NP problems and are unknowable.
I didn’t know the use of information theory before, but now I seem to have found some ways. Information is neutral, but causality has gains and losses and advantages and disadvantages. I didn’t know how to use it before because I didn’t know which end of the weapon was the hilt so I could hold it and swing it.
Many things in life need to be “acted”, but it is necessary to distinguish which are natural things and which are artificial settings. Man is a miraculous animal that can see non-existent entities as entities .
Just think about some ideas and record them, maybe they can be sorted out more clearly in the future.
