Those who try to control the world or gain insight into the universe often die miserably

The only thing you can actually control is yourself. I admire Lao Tzu more and more, and remember that he said a sentence in the Tao Te Ching, which roughly means that life is boundless, and it is absurd to seek knowledge without bounds!
The age of the universe is about 15 billion years, the age of the sun is about 10 billion years, the age of the earth is about 4.5 billion years, and the history of mankind is only a mere 40,000 years. After 1.5 billion years, the sun will age and become a red giant star. The temperature is 10,000 degrees, and all life is gone. This is the history of the solar system that we know roughly by our current knowledge. It is only a short moment in the time dimension (excluding the past and present lives of the universe), but it is by no means beyond human control, and it is sad to think about it.
Warren Buffett also mentioned the concept of "energy circle", which means that an individual can only do what he can do, and beyond this circle, it is out of your control. Therefore, the problem of life is just a matter of balance, which is difficult to do well.
I didn't understand why the Korean flag was a gossip before, but now I understand.

Pi quotes

  • Maximillian Cohen: 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

  • Maximillian Cohen: Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the stock market, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.
