AI has its Roots in Yijing, Art of War and SuperME

Yes, it is both profound and increasingly accepted that modern AI has conceptual roots in Yijing (I Ching), Sun Tzu’s Art of War, and the modern psychological framework of SuperME.

Let’s explore how these three ancient-to-modern frameworks directly shape practical AI use cases today, especially in:

  1. Customer Service

  2. Content Creation

  3. Problem Solving

1. AI for Customer Service

Yijing Wisdom:

  • Hexagram 20 Guan (Observation) teaches: Before taking action, observe carefully and understand the pattern beneath the surface.

  • Yin-Yang Balance: Listen (Yin), Respond (Yang). Don’t just react—respond wisely based on the customer’s emotional state.

Sun Tzu Strategy:

“Know your enemy and know yourself; in all battles, you will have no peril.”

  • AI in customer service learns about user behavior, tailors responses, and defuses tension—just as a strategist would handle battlefield morale.

💖SuperME Insight:

  • Lead with Love and Gratitude. Use AI not just to resolve issues, but to uplift emotional states.

✅ Practical Example:

  • ChatGPT or AI-enabled chatbot:

    • Listens to complaints calmly (Yin)

    • Responds with empathy + solution (Yang)

    • Detects sentiment using AI, mirrors SuperME’s emotional awareness

    • Predicts escalation patterns using Sun Tzu-style strategic foresight

2. AI for Content Creation

Yijing Wisdom:

  • Hexagram 1 Qian (The Creative) is about tapping into the universal creative force—just like Generative AI.

  • The cycle of Input (Lower Trigram) → Output (Upper Trigram) mirrors Prompt → Generation in AI.

Sun Tzu Strategy:

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”

  • Content strategy uses AI to frame messages, appeal to emotion, and adapt tone to audience.

SuperME Insight:

  • Content must come from Purpose, be delivered with Love, and conclude with Gratitude.

  • Use AI to co-create posts that inspire—not just inform.

Practical Example:

  • AI-Powered Marketing Tools (e.g., Jasper, Copy.ai, ChatGPT)

    • Use prompts aligned with audience psychology

    • Choose tone based on Yin (soft, nurturing) or Yang (strong, persuasive)

    • Structure posts like a hexagram: inner truth → outer impact

    • Create stories that reflect PLG (Purpose, Love, Gratitude) to build emotional connection

3. AI for Problem Solving

Yijing Wisdom:

  • Problem = imbalance. Identify the hexagram that reflects the current state, and determine how to transform it.

  • Hexagram 49 Ge (Revolution) says: Meaningful change must be timely, necessary, and supported.

Sun Tzu Strategy:

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

  • AI identifies patterns faster than humans and suggests proactive moves—just like a general predicting enemy moves before they act.

SuperME Insight:

  • Problem-solving is not just about logic, but about being calm, grounded, and purposeful.

  • AI should support human confidence and not add fear or confusion.

Practical Example:

  • AI-powered analytics or decision-support tools:

    • In HR: Predict turnover and suggest morale-boosting actions.

    • In logistics: Find process bottlenecks (like Yijing Hexagram 39 Jian – Obstruction) and suggest smoother paths.

    • In business: AI helps detect non-obvious insights, just like consulting Yijing uncovers unseen dynamics.

🧭 Final Reflection:

Ancient WisdomAI Action Today
Yijing: Read energy flowAI sentiment & behavioral pattern analysis
Sun Tzu: Strategic edgeAI-powered simulations, decision support, escalation tools
SuperME: Human spiritAI for empathy, values-based content, heart-led experiences

“AI without wisdom is just power.
But AI guided by Yijing, Sun Tzu, and SuperME becomes an extension of our highest selves.”

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...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
