Abstract generation in progress

A gentleman’s conduct is to cultivate oneself through tranquility and to nurture virtue through frugality. Without calmness, one cannot clarify their resolve; without serenity, one cannot reach far. Learning requires stillness; talent requires study. Without study, talent cannot expand; without ambition, learning cannot be achieved. Indulgence and complacency prevent one from striving; recklessness and impatience prevent one from tempering their nature. As years pass with the times, and thoughts drift away with the days, one becomes withered and detached from the world, sorrowfully guarding a humble dwelling, how can one hope to catch up again? [Taogu Ba]

In the era of quantification, smoothing out expectations and encountering good news can cause a step to hit the stomach.
Prices can keep rising endlessly, or keep falling forever.
You think it’s broken through, but it pulls back,
You think it’s broken out, but it retraces.
In the era of quantification, where to go from here…
Quantification is ruthless, but we have feelings,
Quantification is mindless, but we have brains…
