Irreversible Consequences + Ignorance = PAIN in the Ass

The world is racing to release AI without consider much on safety.
Upside is great, if you could quantify the value of AI,
lets say 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
but you took out the first digit of 1 to 0,
0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 0
Checkmate on humanity♟️

Same goes with your health,
you could be rich, lovely family, travel the world
but your health is 0, everything tumble down

Too Late

Seneca Effect

"increases are of sluggish growth, but the way to ruin is rapid."
It took years to build a house, but excavator can demolishes in minutes.
Reputations build for years can ruin overnight.
Trade 100 deals but 1 bad investment turn into bankruptcy.
Romantic relationship become stranger.
Dinosaurs dominated Earth for approximately 165 million years but end in a single day.

Takeaway: Power of destruction is not to be underestimated.

Most of the time, we don't even aware we already in a trouble and worse underestimate the damage

For example, I have no idea about myopic(nearsightedness) in childhood👓, eyeball has become elongated, it's hard to reverse.

Attachment styles are primarily formed during the first 18 months of a child's life🧒,
with the primary caregiver's interactions playing a crucial role,
for god sake I want to be secure attach but I'm avoidant attachment,
it's hard to open up and talk about feelings, typical Asian Chinese male.

My grandma is sedentary, rarely eaten any fruit & vege, pessimistic,
by the time her diseases progress, it just get into vicious cycle,
Diseases ➡️bad mood ➡️ not feeling want to exercise ➡️no appetite, eat less ➡️no energy ➡️ more sedentary ➡️ more fat accumulated ➡️ more diseases

By the time she fully realized there are serious consequences, it was too late hence the word "There is nothing I can do about it."

Awareness is first step of the process

Trouble visible to the eye are easily recognized

For example, Caribbean coral reefs have been reduced by 80%

However, most trouble started invisible.

Invest on your health

Key metric for investment is return on investment(ROI)
Was it worth it to sacrifice health for financial gain and pay back money to doctor later in life?

Cost of ignorance🧾

Alex Hormozi talk about Ignorance,
if you are making 50k/year, you are paying 950k/year not knowing how to make $1m.

My grandma paid a great deal of tax to her ignorance on health,
she has diabetes for decades,
one of her leg big toe was amputated,
it was many years ago,
but diabetic foot find its way to her again,
even larger area this time,
blood flow to her legs is compromised,
her wounds don't heal, it turn black,
amputation was final option,
my grandpa help wash her wounds everyday like a professional nurse,
but maybe our ignorance on the infection caught her first,
we lost her...
