Reflection
A few days ago, I watched Lao Gao's video about the Law of Attraction. The video is as follows: [youtube url='https://www.youtube.com/embed/vM1TIP53kb0'] [/youtube]
I learned a key point: If you cannot attract positive things, then you will attract negative things.
These past few days, returning home and seeing my parents addicted to Douyin (TikTok) and unable to extricate themselves, I realized that today's recommendation algorithms seem exactly like the Law of Attraction. It seems the Law of Attraction is the recommendation algorithm on a cosmic scale.
For example, when we make friends: if we do not actively choose positive people, we will passively be recommended negative people. By choosing positive people as friends, this type of person will become more and more numerous, and you will become more and more similar to them. Isn't this 'birds of a feather flock together'? But this is the result, not the cause. The cause is the Law of Attraction at work, invisible.
When we watch Douyin, Bilibili, or YouTube, we generally watch whatever is available to watch, choosing what we see. We definitely use search less than recommendations. By the same reasoning, in real life, we usually befriend whoever we see (encounter), rather than using tools to search and then actively befriend them. So perhaps our behavioral logic is designed this way; we naturally consider friends of friends more reliable than strangers.
Elon Musk said: The probability that we are living in base reality is one in billions.
This world is most likely virtual. All things that transcend conventional logic should have a super algorithm behind them. The higher humanity's computing power, the more we can understand the truth behind it.
One point in the video shocked me: if your heart is not firm, you actually cannot attract what you want. You must have firm confidence. If you yourself waver, what you attract will not be pure.
This is like watching Douyin. If you don't click 'follow,' the system doesn't actually know you like this video creator. Its algorithm cannot recommend similar types to you; it can only continue to push you a chaotic stream of information, letting you choose again. Only when you choose enough can it tag you, and then push targeted content to you.
So rather than drifting aimlessly, it's better to ask yourself what you really want, and then persist all the way to the end. This way, the twists and turns in life will certainly be much fewer than for someone who constantly changes life goals. Frequently changing life goals is equivalent to resetting your account, requiring you to go through the process of the system tagging you again. Going through the tagging process a few times leaves little time left in life.
Reasoning
If you yearn for something deeply enough, it will eventually come to you. --Li Shutong
Continuously following a certain Douyin account, YouTuber, or blogger leads to encountering more similar accounts, learning more related knowledge, and finally, learning it yourself.
Don't make excuses for failure; find methods for success. --Li Ka-shing
Various success philosophies have said it countless times: don't fear failure, keep striving continuously, find methods, don't be discouraged. This will attract like-minded people who want to succeed. If the probability of failure for each individual is 50%, then for two people it's 25%, and for ten people it's 0.09765625%. So with continuous effort, the probability of success is actually constantly increasing, and success is inevitable. This is almost not a probability problem anymore; it's a metaphysical problem.
