Isaac Arthur   Aliens vs AI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoQetQgp-QQ Imagination suppresses our imagination. When I first saw the title and clicked on the video, I kind of looked forward to it. Because one of my favorite things is a virtual confrontation between two forces, or characters. But rather than focusing on the AI-alien confrontation, the videos are talking about their characteristics and the behaviors they're going to deal with us. Isaac first told three reasons why AI cannot harm humans. 1. Not all AIs agree, 2. AIs say they will develop paranoia that the world they live in is a lie, and 3. When they go extinct, they don't know if another civilization or the same human race will come to wipe them out. I think this is possible because of AI's fatal problems, like the match between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo. After the match between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo, drivers in sports like Go and Chess have more cases against AI, and they practice to beat AI. The way they targ

  How School Makes Kids Less Intelligent | Eddy Zhong | TED talks xYouth@BeaconStreet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yt6raj-S1M As a student, hearing this speech struck a chord with me. I, too, have experienced periods of feeling lost and stressed in traditional schooling. In this environment, we are often expected to meet certain academic standards that don't always seem to reflect our true abilities and potential. The speaker begins with an intriguing "big secret" that hints at his skepticism about schooling, sparking the audience's curiosity and concern. Through the speaker's personal experience, especially his confusion in school and poor academic performance, we see the inadequacy of the traditional education system in fostering creative intelligence. His participation in a business plan competition at the age of 14 marked a turning point in his life, an experience that not only sparked his interest in entrepreneurship but also led him to pursue his true in

The psychology of self-motivation | Scott Geller | TED talks x VirginiaTech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sxpKhIbr0E Scott Geller is a Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech and a member of the American Psychological Association. Scott focuses on the "psychology of self-motivation" and how to have the motivation to find it in life. Self-motivation is an important skill that we all need to master. Being able to motivate yourself and others at work will make things better. When you are presented with a huge and daunting task, you should be able to motivate yourself instead of procrastinating; it will only make it harder to overcome inertia. Self-motivation is also important in your personal life. Think about the countless times when you lacked the motivation to go to the gym or save money. How did you feel? Maybe it was a feeling of defeat and frustration. You often don't feel good. But if you can motivate yourself and achieve, you feel proud and happy. Find out what m

Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur  Fermi Paradox Great Filters: Space & Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlgyxQJHHcY What are the great filters of the universe? How might these filters affect the development and expansion of civilization? How does the theory of a fine-tuned universe explain the possibility of our existence? How are the fundamental constants and laws of physics in the universe tuned to support the existence of life? If FTL or time travel technologies exist, how would they change our understanding of the Fermi paradox? How would these technologies affect the evolution and expansion of civilization?  In exploring the Fermi Paradox, I found that despite our advanced technology, it is still very difficult to detect signals or structures deep in the universe, meaning that even if extraterrestrial civilizations exist, they may be outside of our range of detection. At the heart of the Fermi Paradox is the idea that civilizations should have a drive to expand and

 TED-TALK How do we verify war photos? | Nora Savosnick | TEDxArendal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me0r0kuQwj8&t=607s A footless horse goes a thousand miles. This video mainly contains problems of contamination and distortion of the original, image, message, etc. due to the development of media. The talk in this talk is that the development of media has led to the emergence of unknown photographs and videos and the fading nature of the original images and writings, which contaminate the original text and convey distorted information that is different from the facts, as shown in the picture below. The Internet is now flooded with articles and images from unknown sources. For example, on social media such as X, people take other people's writings and create groundless stories and rumors. They are journalists. They reproduce, edit, and produce information with small phones or computers. Money, or views and likes, becomes their activity. As a recent example, a YouTuber named 

  Kurzgesagt Are You an NPC? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UebSfjmQNvs&t=451s I can't decide, but I can choose. This video compares the positions of those who insist on non-free will and those who insist on free will. They talk about the existence of human free will, taking into account the physics of elements and particles, and quantum mechanics, which is unknown until everything is accurately determined. It's related to TED-ED reviews, but we're not npc where we can't choose anything. The beings we call npc are the inhabitants of the game, they move according to a fixed frame, and do nothing outside of that frame. Although we may not be able to resist a fixed fate like Oedipus, like Oedipus. But our free will does not exist, we have the freedom to choose, and it will change fate. For example, what if Admiral Yi Sun-sin listened to his ancestors and abandoned the remaining 12 ships to join the army? What if General MacArthur continued the war without conducting a

TED-ED  What really happened to Oedipus? - Stephen Esposito (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a9Wuz7MvUE) Is fate absolute? Oedipus was abandoned by his parents at an early age by the trust of the Temple of Apollo. This time, when he visited the Temple of Delphi Apollo and heard that he killed his father and took his mother, he left the family (not blood ties). However, he eventually killed his biological father, welcomed his biological mother as a wife, and eventually killed her. Was this Oedipus' fate ever absolute? I don't think so. I think the fate of an oracle can change depending on how it is interpreted in the end. Taking Korea's 'Three-Year Pass Story' as an example, there was a pass that said that if you fall from this pass, you will only live for three years. When an old man lamented that he could only live for three years after falling on this pass, he came up with a plan that if someone could only live for three years, wouldn't it be another three ye

 Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur Channel Analysis Isaac Arthur's video "Moon Industrialization" explores in-depth ways to build productive colonies that can contribute to Earth and space exploration beyond mere lunar bases. Isaac Arthur explains various ways to harness the moon's resources and build infrastructure in the video. The first is resource mining. The moon is rich in valuable resources such as helium-3, iron, and aluminum. These resources can be of great help to Earth and space exploration. The second is energy utilization. It uses solar energy to generate electricity, which allows it to process the moon's resources. The third is sustainable living quarters. We propose the construction of a base on the moon that will allow for long-term residence. These include life support, radiation protection, and food and water self-sufficiency. The fourth is affordability. It analyzes how the moon's industrialization is economically feasible and evaluat

  the industrialization of the moon( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGcvv3683Os ) [Summary] Why we should colonize the moon 1. It is an opportunity to decide whether to leave space exploration only to robots or to continue manned exploration at risk. 2. It is an opportunity to decide the direction of whether to graduate from the exploration stage and start full-scale pioneering. 3. The moon has great potential as a springboard for space advancement - the moon is the place where we will hone our skills before entering deep space. 4. Low gravity makes it easy to transport cargo, and there is no need to build strong facilities like the earth, so construction costs are lower. It is also easy to build a space elevator. 5. You can mine and manufacture the infrastructure and living space around the Earth from the moon. 6. Close to Earth - emergency aid available in case of emergency  7. Similar to Earth and rich in resources you want to mine 8. The moon is a good place to experiment with dan

After watching What If We Could Make a Book An Episode, I became very interested in the new way of publishing books after this TEDx talk. Speaker El Griffin came up with the innovative idea of publishing books in a collection, rather than publishing a complete book all at once. This approach is similar to a TV series, so readers can look forward to the publication of a new chapter at a time, and maintain an interest and enthusiasm for the story. Through this video, I learned that it is a new way of publishing that allows readers to keep up with and look forward to the development of the story. This model can be extended to nonfiction books, as well as novels, to appeal to readers by gradually releasing their content. This mode allows readers to interact with the author and other readers during the reading process to share their feelings and expectations. Social media and online platforms can be important channels for interaction, which helps build communities in which readers are invol

 Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell: A YouTube Channel Crossing the Boundary between Science and Philosophy Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell is a YouTube channel that visually explains complex scientific and philosophical topics in an easy-to-understand way for viewers. The channel combines engaging animation with in-depth research to explore different topics, and is known for its unique ways of communicating knowledge to subscribers and stimulating thinking. Looking at the beginning and growth of the channel, Kurzgesagt was founded in 2013 by Philippe Detmer, a German designer and illustrator. His goal was to make complex concepts of science and philosophy easy for anyone to understand. The channel name "Kurzgesagt" means "to put simply" in German, which stands for the channel's mission well. There are three characteristics of the content. The first is high-quality animation. Each video boasts a unique animation style. Vivid colors and creative graphics help viewers easily u

 Watch the video Can you transplant a head to another body? After feeling and harvest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8TapCbDemk After watching the video Can you transplant a head to another body? After that, I had new thoughts about the future of human medicine and ethical issues. The video delves into the scientific possibilities, technical challenges, and ethical controversies of head transplantation. Head transplantation faces huge technical difficulties, including the connection of spinal nerves, immune rejection, and maintaining blood supply to the brain. These technical problems need to be broken through before head transplantation is feasible. The video introduces existing relevant medical experiments and research, such as partially successful head transplant experiments in animals. These studies provide the basis for future head transplants, but are still a long way from being applied to humans. Head transplantation is not only a technical issue, but also an ethical one. The

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBPwu2uS-w After watching the video Smoking is Awesome, I felt deeply shocked and introspective. Through irony, the video reveals the great harm smoking does to health and the negative impact it has on society. Although the title and upfront content seem to extol smoking, in fact, it reminds us of the true face and serious consequences of smoking by portraying the various "benefits" of smoking in an extreme way. Here are a few key takeaways from the video, along with my thoughts and suggestions. The video uses irony to show the many health hazards of smoking, such as lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. These diseases not only seriously affect an individual's health, but can also lead to death. The video highlights that smokers have a significantly lower average life expectancy than non-smokers. Smoking not only harms individual health, but also has a negative impact on society. Secondhand smoke exposure poses health risks to non-smokers

TED Talks Seohyun S link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeJrU-VJGfg The YouTube video "The Secret to Getting Better Sleep Tonight" features James Leinhardt discussing practical strategies to improve sleep quality. He emphasizes the importance of sleep for overall health and well-being, addressing common sleep-related issues and how to overcome them. Leinhardt highlights the significance of maintaining proper sleep posture, explaining how incorrect sleep positions can negatively impact our health by causing discomfort and pain. He stresses that just as our posture during waking hours is crucial, so too is our posture while sleeping. Poor sleep posture can lead to various physical problems, reducing the overall quality of sleep and leaving individuals feeling unrested and sore. Leinhardt offers practical advice on how to improve sleep posture to enhance sleep quality. He suggests side-sleeping as it helps keep the spine in a neutral position, promoting better recovery and re

 Watch What if we release books episodically? Report after video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdqQyw49SIk After watching What if we release books episodically? After this TEDx talk, I became very interested in new ways of publishing books. Speaker Elle Griffin brought up the innovative idea of releasing books in collections, rather than publishing complete books all at once. This approach is similar to that of a TV series, allowing readers to look forward to the release of a new chapter every once in a while and maintain their interest and enthusiasm for the story. Through this video, I discovered that publishing books by collection is a novel way of publishing, which allows readers to continue to follow and look forward to the development of the story. This model is not only applicable to fiction, but can also be extended to non-fiction books, engaging readers by gradually revealing the content. This mode allows readers to interact with the author and other readers during the readi

  Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur Name: Seohyun S Youtube link:    https://www.youtube.com/@isaacarthurSFIA  (Links to an external site.)  The YouTube video covers an in-depth analysis of the latest technology trends and their social and economic impact. In particular, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is mentioned as the central theme. With the rapid development of AI technology, it is being used in various fields such as autonomous vehicles, medical diagnosis, and financial analysis, which contribute to solving complex problems and making human daily life convenient. On the economic impact side, the introduction of AI and ML technologies has led to the emergence of new business models, increasing the efficiency of companies, and enabling cost reduction, but also highlighting the need for job change and retraining due to technological advances. Certain occupational groups may be reduced due to AI and require education to adapt to new te

Report After Watching the Video "Paradise Planets" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC7dlfnUsmM After watching the "Paradise Planets" video, I felt a profound sense of awe at the vastness and mystery of the universe. The video showcases several hypothetical "paradise planets," each with unique landscapes and ecosystems. For example, some planets are covered with lush greenery, some are surrounded by deep blue oceans, and others boast magnificent mountains and canyons. The detailed visuals and vivid narration highlighted the potential habitability and exploration value of these planets. I learned a lot, such as how different planets have unique ecosystems and geographical features, indicating the possible diversity of life in the universe. The video explored the conditions that make a planet suitable for life, such as atmospheric composition, water resources, and climate conditions, teaching us about the criteria for habitability. It also showcased the advan

Goffman's Dramatism in the Movie Casablanca  Frontstage: The main scene in the movie is Rick's cafe, where various characters meet, where they show themselves and compete for power. Backstage: Secret places hidden behind various political and emotional intrigues, such as Rick's private office or secret gatherings of underground athletes. Shill: Rick Blaine: The protagonist, who runs the "Casablanca" bar, is often seen as a neutral person, but in fact he is secretly helping the resistance movement. Informer: Signor Ferrari: In the movie, he is a profit-seeking operator who cooperates with the German army and has connections with the resistance movement. He is a typical informant. Spotter: Captain Renault: A Vichy French officer who is responsible for obtaining intelligence and remains flexible in complex political situations. Sometimes he cooperates with Rick and sometimes with the German army

Day in life of a teenager in Ancient Rome. What is similar to our lives? What is different?   The life of a teenager in ancient Rome had some similarities to modern life, such as the possibility of participating in family activities and socializing. However, there were significant differences in medical care. Medical technology and sanitary conditions in ancient Rome were far inferior to those of modern times. There was a lack of modern drugs, surgical techniques and sanitary facilities, so illnesses and injuries were treated differently. The average life expectancy was also very short.

  Q1: Do you think technolo gical   capabilities determine a country's power and influence? Is it true to the past? What abo ut   the future? technological capabilities significantly determine a country's power and influence. Historically, nations with advanced technology, like Britain during the Industrial Revolution or the U.S. in the 20th century, have dominated globally. This trend is likely to continue in the future as emerging technologies, such as AI and biotechnology, shape global dynamics. Q2: Do you think that different communication mediums (technologies) evoke different responses? Is seeing something different from hearing or reading about it? Are you more likely to care about something if you see it compared to just reading about it? different communication mediums evoke different responses. Seeing something often elicits a stronger emotional reaction compared to hearing or reading about it. Visual content tends to be more impactful and memorable, making people mor

 In the documentary, the maid can only work very hard without any protection. She cannot join the family when they eat and laugh. Now, service staff will have better benefits and protection. They can wear gloves and masks, use safer cleaning products that will not hurt the skin, and they also have a higher status than in the 1900s. The mother in the family tried to ride a bicycle. In 1900, women could only wear skirts, but riding a bicycle in a skirt was more dangerous. The skirt might get caught in the wheel and cause a fall. Now, women have more choices

  what interesting or surprising concepts did you hear in the video? What do they have to do with our everyday life and our future?   I think uploading memories is a very surprising topic, because it may mean that in the future we don’t have to study so hard, we just need to receive other people’s memories. Maybe the dead can also continue to live on the Internet by uploading memories and meet their loved ones. But some ethical issues are worth thinking about. Is the memory on the Internet still considered the person? If everyone doesn’t need to study, will the class gap increase? For example, only the rich can buy better knowledge. Maybe we still need many years of development to be proficient in using some new technologies

A short story about Goffman's theory   In the  bookstore in the city center, the clerk Xiao Liu is the "informant" here. His job is to pay attention to the customers who come to the store and get valuable information from their conversations. Xiao Liu always looks busy but friendly, and he skillfully organizes the bookshelves to help customers find the books they want. One day, a regular customer, Professor Li, came to the bookstore and started chatting with Xiao Liu. Professor Li is a "service expert" who knows the book market very well and is particularly good at analyzing the popular trends of books. Xiao Liu took the opportunity to ask about the future trends of several best-selling books and gained a lot of useful insights from Professor Li. At the same time, another customer, Xiao Zhang, was also wandering in the bookstore. Xiao Zhang is actually an "informant" who likes to find out all kinds of gossip everywhere and then sell it to those who nee

methodology: how did you keep track of your observations during the day you attempted to live without the technology? I recorded a day living in the style of 1900 with pen and notebook. In the morning, I almost arrived late for class because I turned off my phone last night. The phone alarm didn't ring, and I didn't have a wind-up alarm clock. Then I went to class. Since I couldn't use a tablet, I had to take notes with paper and pen. I couldn't mark on the PPT slides and couldn't use translation software, which caused me trouble. Encountering unfamiliar words and sentences, I couldn't quickly translate them. Since I'm used to using translation software, I didn't have a dictionary at home to look up unfamiliar words. I could only guess their meanings. At noon, since the induction cooker, microwave, and rice cooker at home are all post-1900 inventions, I couldn't cook or heat food. I also couldn't eat at restaurant that uses ordering machines. Ins
