This book is more like knowing yourself better even if you are NOT able to get better at knowing others. Good read definitely. A servant knows more about his master than the master knows about the servant. Respect is like air. When it's present nobody notices, but when it's absent it's all anybody can think about. A great conversation is between two people who think the other is wrong. A bad conversation is between those who think something is wrong with you. How you see a situation depends on what you are capable of doing in a situation. I am human, and nothing human is alien to me. A person who is perpetually angry is always mishearing and misreading others. First empathy skill is recognizing emotions/mirroring.  The second empathy skill is not just mirroring but menatlizing.  The third empahty skill is caring. You can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but you can't be wise with other men's wisdom. Grief is not a state but a process. Its a river tha...

The Conscious Compass: How Human Meditation Guides the Future of AI Ethics Introduction: AI's Ascent and Humanity's Deepest Inquiry AI's trajectory is breathtaking, promising to redefine industries and human capabilities. Yet, as our creations grow more sophisticated, mimicking cognitive processes and even hinting at self-awareness, they propel us toward a profound question: What is consciousness, and how does our understanding of it inform the responsible evolution of AI? This article posits that deep human self-awareness, honed through practices like meditation, is not merely beneficial but indispensable for navigating the ethical, societal, and practical complexities of advanced AI, especially as we consider imbuing machines with forms of consciousness. The Allure and Alarm of Artificial Consciousness The very concept of artificial consciousness (AC) stirs both excitement and trepidation. Researchers are actively exploring ways to imbue AI systems with self-awareness...

Quotes from the book "The Laws of Human Nature" - Robert Greene. If you come across any special trait of meanness or stupidity, you must be careful not to let it annoy or distress you, but to look upon it merely as an addition to your knowledge - a new fact to be considered in studying the character of humanity. Your attitude towards it will be that of the mineralogist who stumbles upon a very characteristic specimen of a mineral. - Arthur Schopenhauer. We see the results - our thoughts, moods, and actions- but have little conscious access to what actually moves our emotions and compels us to behave in certain ways. Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like - Anton Chekhov. Like everyone, you think you are rational, but you are not. Learn to question yourself: Why this anger or resentment? Where does this incessant need for attention come from? Evolution has led to the higher mammalian brain being composed of three parts. The oldest is the reptilian pa...

AI Quotes: A Glimpse into the Future Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world in ways we never imagined. Here are some thought-provoking quotes that highlight the potential and limitations of AI: "AI can compose Grammy-winning songs but not write Oscar-winning screenplays and can solve Millennium Prize Problems in math but not generate deep new philosophical insights." "Check Asilomar AI Principles for AI governance." General Quotes: Wisdom for Everyday Life Wisdom can come from various sources, and these general quotes offer valuable insights for navigating life's challenges: "Make mistakes of ambition, not mistakes of sloth."

This is another remarkable book by Charles Duhigg, who masterfully engages his audience and presents a structured framework for the concepts he explores. That's what truly stands out about his works. Here are some quotes from the book that I felt insightful. Supercommunicators aren't born with extraordinary abilities but have instead devoted significant thought to the dynamics of conversations. The extent of speaker-listener neural coupling is a key predictor of communication success. Conversations about identity are best framed by three essential questions: - What's this really about? - How do we feel? - Who are we? Each type of interaction—helping, hugging, hearing—corresponds to different communication needs, demonstrating that various situations call for different kinds of conversations. Recognizing "What's This Really About?" in any discussion is crucial. Decision-making processes, whether grounded in analysis and reason or empathy and narratives, must be...

Ryan Holiday's books never fail to captivate. It offers a fresh and much-needed perspective that resonates deeply. One of the most powerful quotes comes at the end: "Just as dust collects on the floor, ego will cloud your judgment. As you must sweep the floor daily , you should check your decisions for ego." This analogy serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of continual self-awareness and humility in our daily lives. Virtue begins with understanding and is fulfilled by courage. Football coach Bill Walsh explained, "self-confidence becomes arrogance, assertiveness becomes obstinacy, and self-assurance becomes recless abandon." This is the ego, as the writer Cyril Connolly warned that "sucks us down like the law of gravity" If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity. Humble in our aspirtations. Gracious in our success. Resilient in our failures. We can seek to rationalize the worst behavior by pointing to out...

After land, sea, air, and space, warfare has entered the fifth domain: Cyberspace. That's what this book "The Fifth Domain" sheds light on. Resilience is the capacity of any "entity... to prepare for disruptions, to recover from shocks and stresses, and to adapt and grow from a disruptive experience. One of the recommendations was that when the NSA finds a hole in widely used software, it should tell the manufacturer, with rare exceptions. Those exceptions would be approved at a high level by the government. If we have data, let's look at data. If all we have are opinions, let's go with mine. There are two kinds of companies: those that have been hacked and know it; and those that have been hacked and don't. Needs to do to protect itself fits into one of five core "functions": Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Software was not built to be used, it was built to be bought by someone at the top. Cybersecurity Framework's five fun...
