AI and Yijing

The connection between artificial intelligence (AI) and Yijing (I Ching) lies in their shared interest in pattern recognition, decision-making, and understanding complex systems.

1. Pattern Recognition: AI systems often rely on pattern recognition to make sense of large datasets and make predictions or decisions. Similarly, Yijing is a Chinese text that has been used for centuries as a divination tool based on the interpretation of patterns formed by hexagrams (six-line diagrams).

2. Decision-Making: AI algorithms are designed to make decisions based on input data and predefined rules. Yijing provides a framework for decision-making through the interpretation of hexagrams and their changing lines, offering insights into various situations and potential outcomes.

3. Understanding Complex Systems: Both AI and Yijing seek to understand complex systems and phenomena. AI algorithms aim to model and understand complex systems such as human behavior, weather patterns, financial markets, etc. Similarly, Yijing is often consulted to gain insights into the complexities of life, relationships, and the natural world.

4. Philosophical Underpinnings: Both AI and Yijing are influenced by philosophical concepts. AI research draws upon various philosophical frameworks to understand intelligence, consciousness, and ethics. Yijing is rooted in Taoist and Confucian philosophy, offering insights into the balance of opposites (yin and yang) and the principles of change and transformation.

5. Symbolism and Interpretation: AI systems, particularly those based on machine learning, often operate through symbolic representation and interpretation of data. Similarly, Yijing relies on symbolic representations (hexagrams, changing lines, trigrams) and interpretation to derive meaning and guidance.

While AI and Yijing are 7,000 years apart, they both share common themes related to understanding patterns, making decisions, and navigating complexity.

One thing is for sure: Yijing's Yin and Yang form the basis of all computing language (including Wifi, Bluetooth) of 1 and 0.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages ...
