This is the thirty-fourth issue of “Three Ten Weeks”. Thanks to the new email subscribers this week, the current number of subscribers has reached 444. My next target is 456.
There have been a lot of problems with the content of the input recently and my own information flow. There are two reasons, one is the network problem (the company network), and the other is the time problem (most of the so-called input time is in the company).
Take money, XXXX. Including writing, it is also in a state of stagnation. I also mentioned this in the tabloids . There are probably less than 10 topics in the newsletter that I originally planned to write. I originally had a small plan to write 50 issues. Right and left, I will do an update from the first issue, and then take out the issues discussed in each issue to have a deep chat, a wide chat, and a chat about interesting places. After all, I am also dynamic, network communication The convenience of editing, let alone let it languish.
Today’s installment, also a planned experiment, starts with Flomo’s search to see where it goes. In this topic, continue to talk about happiness.
happiness
Let’s talk about a major premise first, a psychological conclusion:
The frequency of happiness has a greater impact on a person’s happiness index than the degree of happiness.
Let me explain a little bit, the happiness we pursue, if we get to the bottom of it, it is a chemical reaction in our brain. In medicine and psychology, some medical means can be used to stimulate certain areas of your brain through electrical signals. , resulting in a “feeling” of happiness. In my opinion, such a discussion is not interesting. It becomes a multiple-choice question between the blue pill and the red pill in “The Matrix”, and becomes a little monkey that jumps up cheerfully when it is stimulated.
So, there is an implicit condition in my premise, feel, feel it yourself, not by a machine. Take Douyin as an example, sorry, whenever I want to give a negative example, the byte product is the first option that appears, we open it and browse casually, it has various sophisticated algorithms to calculate through our feedback , to get what type of video should be recommended to you next. Short videos are very short, and the speed of data feedback, cleaning, and processing is very fast. It might only take ten minutes or less for a human to feed the algorithm and it will spit out a child for you, a personalized Douyin with your genes that belongs only to you.
Is the happiness we get in it, happiness? I recommend everyone to check out The Ravenous Dopamine. There are some interesting ideas in there.
Now let’s turn the time gear back a little and see what some of the people who have passed away have to say.
Franklin said:
The happiness of human beings is very few because of the once-in-a-lifetime great fortune, and there are many people who are born from the accumulated small blessings. So, if you teach a poor guy how to shave and how to maintain a razor, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than to give him a thousand guineas. Money can be spent quickly, and all that is left is the remorse of Hu Hua’s abuse. But if he was taught to shave, he would be spared a series of agonies, waiting for the barber, touching their dirty fingers, smelling their stinky breath, and suffering the pain of their old knives. When he shaves, it all depends on his own convenience. The tools are easy to use and operate freely, and he enjoys this fun every day.
I became convinced that truth, integrity, and integrity in my relationships were essential to happiness in life, and I wrote a letter of resolution (which I still keep in my journal) to practice in my lifetime.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke said:
In order to be happy in life, one must love the daily chores. The light and shadow of clouds, the swaying of bamboo, the chirping of birds, the faces of pedestrians—we need to savor the supreme nectar from all the daily chores. But at the same time, in order to make life happy, those who love trifles must suffer for trifles. In order to enjoy subtly, one must suffer subtly.
As for how we can achieve happiness, there are many ways, too many ways. Some, like Da Leo’s “Principles,” are correct bullshit.
I love this crap.

“Life Cutting”.
This is a topic that I have been paying attention to, technology x life, what changes has technology brought to our lives, a very neutral question, I don’t want to discuss good or bad, but I really want to discuss it, and I also have a clear self-inclination in in.
The previous “Westworld” gave an extreme description of a possibility of future life. For many years, I didn’t believe that any work could achieve this level. Later, I wrote a short story that was very similar to “Uploading the New Life”, but the uploading was more TV series and the content I wrote was more life-oriented. Later, yes, and later, I also wrote an outline of “Flower Cafe”, and the first chapter, and it was released, but since the role of “technology” in it is dominated by doubt, I Pause is selected.
Whether it is the distant “Her”, “Ex Machina” or the novel “Carrara and the Sun”, there is a deeper issue worth discussing: consciousness. This is also the core issue of the so-called artificial intelligence, derived from ethics, regulation and other kinds, but this is another issue.
In this “Life Cutting Technique”, I found a perfect perspective to discuss topics about consciousness and life. There are too many spoilers here, I recommend everyone to watch it. What I’m trying to say is,
First of all, this is not a bubble drama calculated by “big data”
Secondly, this is a very audio-visual work
In the end, the topics that can be derived from this show are very interesting and challenging
