On medicine and AI

 I see a lot of development in the field of medicine by the use of artificial intelligence and we don't see a problem with a machine doing a doctor's job unless we realise the following:

  1. A doctor studies and develops the work ethic by sheer practice and years and years of it. It takes roughly seven plus years for a doctor to be where he/she is right now. I feel sad that a random Al tool can somehow replace a doctor!
  2. I find the success of social media in creating more misinformation than right knowledge phenomenonal! One with low mood for a day can almost imagine themselves having depression.Thanks to the free information

3. Older literature in medicine survived because their kernels of insight and expression couldn't be replicated away just like the ghibli's art


4. Just like," The photographs of cathedral has no meaning without the cathedral itself."

Similarly, no Al can ever match the experience of a doctor!


5. Symptoms help more in misdiagnosis than diagnosis. The right diagnosis requires a holistic assessment of the individual in concern.


In the present moment, I worry much less for the doctors loosing their jobs because of Al, than for patients who may be content to settle for so many pale imitations!

Happiness a curse

  Fun fact: you have never been before. You will never be the near future. Your genetic makeup has never been will never be. If that doesn't make you feel good about yourself then i don't know what will.  Man is a creature of meaning. His search for meaning is endless. At the end of the day we all want to feel good about ourselves. No one wants to feel demotivated and lost. But the second case is more common these days.  Why do you think it is? World has more resources than it has ever been in the history of man. Then why are we not happy. Are we all sadistic?.... No that's definitely not the case.  We all tell our minds stories, ideas and yes theories about what will make us happy. Some of these things genuinely make you happy because they satisfy your needs, once in a while desires too. Our desires, our needs were created to motivate us but these days it's exactly the opposite. Because we don't really love ourselves to think about the greater good. Our visions the...

Mastery

It was not long ago, we walked on four legs. We could not walk upright. We faced a lot of challenges. Then we started walking on two legs. People believe that this walking on two legs allowed our hands to make tools and us the most intelligent species of that time. But all this fuss miss the point.  Our dominance, our mastery arised from our brains. Yes we developed it through practice. Our brain loves challenges, problems beyond its comfort zone. There is a lot of ego boast when solve problems through sheer intuition, words and formulas may come later.  Life is suffering. Of course god didn't created us to just sit happily. He wanted us to emerge from whatever we are to our best version way better than he created. But with time we gave into these depressing feelings like boredom, impatience, confusion and fear. We lost our power over these not so over powering situations. These days time rules us instead reverse should be the case. Keep ruling my primates. This is the time of...

Purpose

  Hello my readers, are you all having a good time? You know people are always asking me, what career should I choose, what is my life for, how to find your life's calling.... These questions make me wonder... Do my ancestors too had same questions in their mind or they submitted it to their fate? And then we see examples of Leonardo, Mozart etc. We are caught speechless.  Now my question is to everyone, do you ever love everything about a thing you love doing. Of course you don't. Then why do we expect ourselves to love our careers fully. Even really successful people have something that they really hate about their profession. So love is not the only thing that decides. In my experience with people, their professional success is nothing more than a result of war. Yes,  a war, a fight. This war is not something outside them. Because money never stopped people from becoming successful, it only motivated them...i guess😅. These people are in competition with themselves ( t...
