In programming, beautiful structures often emerge after you try trimming away duplication or redundancy.

If we can partition our life into stages, will there be one that we can stand? Or, it’s going to be an eternal struggle to reach the next? I need strength…

There is no point in live where one should feel content with one’s growth, in power and ability generally, in mind and control particularly. While contriving, expressing ideas and moving are just the beginnings, the rate will likely determine everything.

Addiction is about giving up the freedom of will to instinctive impulses. What to gain are usually biological comforts. But, what to lose is the very reason for being in this world.

The insight of Bennett on Maxwell’s daemon shows that the information can not be easily erased. By the time symmetry of physical laws, the information can not be easily created, either.
There is this ad hoc observer in quantum mechanics that can collapse the state of a system and create information. And there is also this black hole of Hawking that seems to erase information. How are they connected?

Science is a consistent and compressed description of our experiences. It’s easier to have consistency since unrelated things are always consistent with each other. But, it’s much harder to have compression since compressibility hinges on relationship.

It has been a while since the weather can be described as pleasant. The mind felt like drunken in the wind with just a small stroll outside. Just like all livings, simple cues are all that take to turn our mind and body around.

It’s more importance to recognize equivalence in things around us than to focus on favoritism. First of all, this helps us find different solutions to one given problem thus increase the chance of resolution. Secondly, this helps us choose quickly when the scale is tilted. Besides, we don’t need to invent/learn new tricks when the old ones will do.

However, people don’t always use this ability when they are interacting with others.

When one is drawn to something in front, at times, one can be oblivious of one’s true destination. In such a circumstance, in one’s mind, an alarm should sound and alert one to refocus oneself. This mechanism requires efforts to put in place.
