| A Picture of Ryan Yan |
As 2021 draws to a close, it is another time to focus on reflections and new year resolutions, as well as ensuring my Medibank Extra insurance policy limits have been put to good use.
Thanks for the casual conversations and friendship I have had with my dental clinic, the manager has indulged me with a last-minute end-of-year appointment request with 3 hours of notice.
I selected a random episode in one of my favorite podcasts co-hosted by Naval Ravikant & Brett Hall, just trying to cancel the noise coming from my dentist's drilling noise, which I didn't finish listening to until after my pre-dinner walk.
Contrary to most of Naval's distinct 1-minute episodes, this one is over 45 minutes long. The gentlemen exchanged ideas on limitations of Bays theorem, probability of the existence of alien civilizations, nature of resources.
One interesting idea I've learned from these 45 minutes was that while the belief of alien civilizations other than us augmented by Elon Musk's lectures has gained popularity recently. Brett suggested that the fact we humans existed on this planet alone has been a combination of millions times millions of right mutation sequences over a very long period of time, in other words, it was a miracle in its own right. Therefore it is very unlikely there are other civilizations out there amongst the stars.
This blog was inspired by Brett's blog, and started with the purpose of congregating some of my own self-reflections, mostly reasonings of decisions I have made personally as well as on behalf of my businesses.
It might include the background/context such as the when who, and where; as well as the how and why.
I have received a renewal notification email on ryanyan.org which is a domain name I've registered when I left the NAB, which in fact I have been trying to check in on validity to date. Perfect timing for this all come together!
What a great way to end the year 2021.
1st ever comment, might as well be mine.
