It's quite a long time since I posted my last blog article, not because I don't have any ideas to share or any life exp. to tell. I just felt tired. Tired of writing to be a man with deep thoughts and sharp eyes. Yeh, there are lots of guys writing blogs just to share life, also there are another a lot they would like to use blog to decorate themselves, they write the beautiful or great experience in their lives not just to show they are different but more aiming at showing off and telling you they are strong, powerful or rich. But when I want to read someone's blog, I don't want to see show-offs, but the real things. We, Chinese, live in a country with more lies and covered truth, why we are still fond of being someone not yourself or not wholly yourself?
People say, staff in Big4s, earning a lot by acceleratedly consuming their lives. Let's just let alone the money thing, but life-consuming is very real. There are rumors about the jumper who was a staff in PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, yeh, I can guarantee to you that people who are working in investment banking, auditing, law firms are really busy, or they must be busy, or at least, pretend to be busy. I suppose that you have the similar exp. as me, once I met with a director of a very famous investment banking department of a former very pure investment bank in his office. He weared a blue-tooth ear-phone, and kept on receiving phone calls from all over the world. Let alone the calls led in French that I couldn't understand, I could know that the information were not so that important to his job. But he has to do so, to show that he is keeping on working hard, very real hard for the profit of the company, not matter that if the behaviors are really very profitable.
Then let's turn our eyes on theoretical fields. In recent years, I am working very hard at trying to let others forget that I was aiming at being an academical researcher and very familiar at mathematical and other theoretical researching. I just want to others to regard me as a man good at practical things even maybe a little nasty and sophisticated. But now let me just turn back and see somethings in those fields to realize some truths in life.
The theories, maybe in my knowledge, let me constrain the category in the engineering, economic, scientifical theories which I may be more familiar with, at least can be re-sorted into to two categories based on their different bases. One is, this theory is using man-made models to explain the universe, knowledge structure or society operations. This category is called man-being-the-God. And another one, of course you can guess, it's called God-being-the-God. Right, but to be more exactly,I suppose the name, man-reveal-the-God is more proper. Let's lay a deeper eye on those two categories. What is man-being-the-God, for example, Grativity Theory, which was found by Sir Issac Newton. Yeh, no one would say or dare to say, it's not one of greatest theories in human history. But just one thing I want you to think, are these formulae, you believe, is exactly the formulae to explain the universe without very real tiny errors? Or this theory is right just due to we just live in a small world with small rulers? Range expands, the theory works less correctly. Seems more Physics has told us. It's not truth, be aware, it's just an approximate theory, a very successful appromation with very errors in our familiar scale. Then the homework for you, think about the theory called Black-Scholes Formula in Finance, it's famous but much less accurate and much less successful, throught this, you may understand the first category better.
What about the latter one? No doubt to say, there is not a theory which is elaborated by God himself literally. But there are some phenomenon which we can't set an axiom system to understand and explain successfully and scientifically. But some of us, and in our long history there are more great person believe that those fringe are the God's truth and are the base of our world's order. Like Golden Section. The latter category, not matter what form they are in, their bases could be found rooted in these things that won't explain too much on our textbooks, especially in China. But are they true? We will always find those things if we just be more sharp eyed, or just change our scale to draw the map. In former years, I believe in Paul Samuelson, his works based in mathematical analysis is great and seems to be accurately successful. And what makes his theory better is, if any theory finds a path in to Math, it means this field can be analyzed more by Math which means more papers can be made no matter how not-worth-mentioning the changes in variables are. But Professors must found something to write, and students need papers to graduate, right? But when we refer to the works from Mandelbrot, his work is not an analyzing system, even I think Mandelbrot is surely better at Math than Paul, his work is more at practising and find the inner pattern of Phenomenon but not put them in same man-made models. You can find a model fitting the historical data successfully, but when you want to predict, I want to say, predict, is not science at all, if you have calculated out that the Earth will die in 50 years, this is not prediction, this is knowledge and truth in future. If you want to predict, what you might believe in, in my view, is the God's will and God's world system. Math won't do you any good.
I think maybe it's just a start in my blog to argue on the world's order, what I really would like you to think, what is really real in your life? But I have to tell you at first, be regain consciousness at life, sometimes is the source of pains. We China don't like and are not and won't train new generations to be clear-headed with different characters, once you know how to regard the cheating approaches, maybe, you will find your life is boring and troublesome. But all in all, life sucks, isn't it?
