It's not about intelligence. It's about reaching system balance at a higher level. When resources at disposal shrink to a very low level, existing one will collapse, but there is also no guarantee new one will be better. That&#x27

Chinese culture in its prime was very individual and diversified. That's the part produced most, if not all, of what we as Chinese could be proud of. We does have big raw talent pool, but our system also is very good at ruin it. We hav

If starting from scratch, yes, it could be very different and requires much more work. However, in many cases, I highly doubt this is what happened.

How about comparing with Japanese font? I worked in branding in China. I was told many modern inspirations are from Japanese work. IMHO as a Chinese, they generally have much better taste for art in China.

The problem is not about resources. It's about the organization's product-oriented DNA and its familiarity to the field it works on. I hope Apple could show us some more polished products so that as someone who works on iOS could

With the ground Apple has taken and the product's life cycle, yes. It's natural to start grabbing more and more profit. That's what business is for. However, the advance of operation excellence could also post a bigger challe

Apple is leveraging its established ground to pursue more profit. This requires operation excellence. However, to win in the future, it needs products like what Jobs delivered. Based on the products Apple offered in the post-Jobs era so far

In the end of the day, people need what they feel a better way to think and discuss before doing. It's only related to what options they have at the moment.

It really depends on what innovation is about. And in the wild, you can do whatever you want in a shorter time frame. In a more structured environment, there is higher possibility to enjoy having innovations that requires longer time frame.

Thanks. I occasionally follow news from complexity theory and there are many exciting findings. But there are so many hidden gems I could not find out till I learn some key words to make my search meaningful to the search engines.

The most worrisome timing is when the system runs out of fuel. It would be a disaster for people living on the land. Fightings on the land are usually very brutal and violent. If there is any true hope, it will emerge after the messy chaos.

Being a master of "马屁精" or ass-kisser as a somewhat direct translation is the only skill they need besides being born in the inner circle or having special relationship with the circle. I'd admit being a master in a field is

Any nice book offering an overview of evolutionary biology applied to our society that you'd recommend?

Many Chinese in mainland China can speak Putonghua (probably just another name for Mandarin). Each place has its own dialect. The adoption of mandarin as a "unified dialect" should be the result of central government's policy

It seems the way of our brain works have some similarities with machines(well, it perhaps among the best average person at this time is able to perceive.). The brain gets information from sensors, tries to categorize everything and makes se

The tricky thing here is many are actually killed intentionally. And the killers escaped from that and, instead, were ruled as unintentional. Justice is missing here. That's why the whole damn calculation is valid. I know a lot more si

People's actions are the reflection of the real laws/rules in their group. And people tend to take advantage of it. Thinking about killing someone would make you lose way less, is it still a normal world? Why didn't those &qu

The lesson I learned is any idea is just the entrance of a chain/tree/network/set of ideas. Given the number of all the ideas hidden behind the entrance one, just think about the possibility of getting most of them right, it&

From that angle, it's the difference between a true product maker and a retailer. They have different visions, one is more user-centered and another is more oneself-organization-value-chain-centered. Unfortunately, most of people with

It seems not quite different from what Jobs did. The real difference is the degree of vision associated with reality.

Nice to see Santafe's work shown here. They have many interesting findings in different fields. Simulation as a tool provides a way to look into complex systems. Though not perfect, perhaps the best we can have at the moment.
