crazy obsession

In my freshman year, every time I went to Western economics, I felt a special breakdown. The teacher was also very depressing in his lectures. No one could blame anyone for the suffering of this process; because the textbooks were full of abstract and imaginary concepts, and things that had not been experienced in person were often difficult to understand. It confirms the sentence: "A good economist is not necessarily a good entrepreneur, but a good entrepreneur must be a good economist." This probably reminds us to create a theory of knowledge that can be used for ourselves. Brainstorm.

When teaching "game theory", the teacher spent a whole week. About the economy, learning, and interrogation, the teacher spent all his time trying to find out the examples that can be given. It seems that this is the only subject that everyone can understand. When the classroom atmosphere was okay, the teacher, who never talked about anything unrelated to the subject, recommended "Beautiful Mind" to us as soon as he was happy.

"Beautiful Mind" sounds like an emotional drama, but after watching it, it seems that it is just witnessing a psychological travel course. The shock of Nash's first half of his life is really incredible. It is rare to find people who can be so crazy about academics, especially in today's corrupt academic atmosphere. His perseverance may have come from his firm belief in his own ideas, so he could not extricate himself from the environment constructed by his brain. If it is not so convinced that what he is doing is a great and mysterious thing, and he has never stopped calculating and researching summaries, perhaps there will be no later impressive achievements.

The whole movie made me stunned that the moment Nash's wife followed him to the backyard cottage and opened the door, the data of the entire room was densely covered on the walls. How much time did it take him, from collecting statistical analysis to sorting, what was it that supported him to continue such a crazy and persistent move? Psychopath, what an amazing, gifted psychopath. I don't think he's ill, just confused about living with academic data or living with his wife as a husband and father of children. Such a stubborn pursuit made him unable to distinguish where he was, so he made actions that were different from ordinary people. You have to understand that when the whole world is awake you are still dreaming and you are a lunatic; in the same way, when the whole world is sleepwalking and you are awake alone, you are still lunatic.

I believe that after watching this movie, many people yearn for the academic palace of Princeton University, and they are more eager to be as crazy as Nash, and finally realize their own value and have something of their own.
