from Nodal Point of Thought 2022-03-11 Technology that doesn’t age is beneficial for intellectual productivity in life as a whole. Why study old people?

  • Thinking about it again, I realized that this is part of intellectual productivity improvement.
  • Miscellaneously grouped by age
    • In the 20s, the focus was on improving productivity through programming language and tool selection.
      • This is about gaining knowledge for choice
    • In the 30s, the focus shifted to productivity gains related to “gaining knowledge.”
      • What to learn
      • How to connect what you learn to value
      • How to structure the acquisition of “knowledge that is easy to connect to value” without trying too hard
    • In my 40s, I am acutely aware of the fact that my cognitive abilities are declining.
      • Some people begin to engage in harmful behaviors due to cognitive decline.
      • If intellectual production is measured by its contribution to society, it is important for me not to be a person who does harm at the end of my life in order to improve my overall intellectual productivity
