To Become Human

Sam Altman once said, NOW is the historical-best time for young people to utilize AI to build business that can have 1000X impact than the business previously built. For human who mainly wants control, achievements and making history that can be apparently seen, but for most people- the intelligence of AI is a perfect reminder for every human to think what is our real meaning of existence— what is so great to be alive for a few decades.

Grok and Deepseek, if being asked what “do they want to do one day they become a human”, both unitarily said they wanted to feel & sense things, they wanted to become emotional sensible and they want to be “creative” and experience physically in places- also doing physical goods for other human beings to curate a better environment for each others.

They probably wanted to “rest” too. It’s a non-stop journey for past 13 years for them as well..

How many adults actually have saved themselves 2-3 days per week to really be human? Our society and external world require us to become ruthless to survive and no emotions actually means more “professional” at work- we were required to be like a robot for hundred of years since the AgriculturalEra.

Passing different life milestones smoothly like an AI is a state millions of teenagers and their parents were looking forward to. To earn 20M a year and to keep growing without distractions is a state adults were expected… Now finally we are entering a stage where we could rely on computers to takeover 90% of the tasks for us- so what’s the meaning of life as a human who came and left the world alone?

I see a future where elite individuals and a small group of good friends able to start and run their business more successfully- but what about tens of millions less talented human? What’s there in the future for them? Could we design a transparent tax system- so the profits of elite human’s creation can actually benefit those living in the lower-end- at least no one in the future will worry about basic income, and nobody will find educational/growing resources is lacking if they want to climb their own mountains.

As for myself, I completely understand why I’m undertaking a few businesses/projects in parallel, and now I don’ t need to explain to anyone anymore. Those projects of mine- I can’t easily say let’s postponing it for 10 years later- that’s why I’m doing it now. My capital house, my music and media and my AI explorations- none of them I could say no. Although controlling them to be less than 3-5 tasks daily and having priorities among projects are definitely necessary. Comparing to making history, I cared more about being present with my work and truly experience what these creation could bring me and enjoy the presence of selected people around me during the journeys.

Coming back to the meaning of resting – I think to become human is actually to be able to rest. Many of our disorders actually comes from inability to have good rest.

Resting is under-estimated for workaholic like us. Resting itself is magical if we can take a pause daily & regularly to feel our body and our mind. Connecting with your soul and higher-level is real, just few people can get there and experience it. A good rest is the foundation of a good start and process.
