20 years into our marriage, my wife Andrea and I sat across each other on our anniversary. We should have been celebrating. We were asking the one question that no couple really wants to say out loud.Do we want another 20 years just like the last. See, back then we thought there were only two options. In fact, that moment could have been the end of a marriage, but it wasn't.It was the beginning of something new, something I didn't quite have the words for at the time. Because like everybody else, we thought ...

Core Argument - Human beings are inherently pattern-seeking, a trait evolved for survival, now shaping identity [1] - Identity is a mosaic constructed from habits, beliefs, experiences, and stories [1] - Repeated habits and stories subconsciously build identity, tessellating reality [1][2] - Belief systems, often adopted from external sources, can be re-examined and rebuilt to shape one's mosaic [4][5] - Shared fictions, like the concept of money, enable complex societal structures [7][8][9] - Consciously building one's identity involves curating habits, stories, and beliefs [11][12] Key Components of Identity Formation - **Habits:** Consistent repetition of habits creates alignment and shapes identity [1][2] - **Stories:** Humans use stories to understand the world and express themselves; repeated stories become part of identity [1][10] - **Beliefs:** Belief systems act as the glue holding the mosaic of identity together, influencing actions and perceptions [2][11] Societal Impact - Individually shaped identities tessellate into a larger society, influencing shared beliefs and behaviors [6][7] - The ability to share fictions allows humans to cooperate on a large scale [7][9]

AI在医疗健康领域的应用 - AI与前沿科学和医生合作，推动医疗健康领域发展[2] - AI能够分析生活方式、活动、睡眠、空气质量和疾病发生等数据，从而更好地预测癌症、心脏病和2型糖尿病等疾病[6] - AI可以辅助医生进行扫描，帮助发现肿瘤，并协助医生记录，从而实现更人性化的互动[6][7] - AI可以通过面部微表情和视线模式来量化抑郁症，目前正在英国国民健康服务体系中针对产后妇女进行试验[7] - AI驱动的药物发现和个性化治疗正在兴起，这意味着能够更有效地靶向肿瘤，同时减少对患者的伤害[10][11] 癌症诊断与治疗 - 行业专家认为，AI将在癌症的诊断和治疗方面带来最大的变革，因为癌症存在诸多变量，如肿瘤的遗传学、位置、阶段、患者的遗传学，甚至微生物组[8] - 血液检测将越来越多地用于筛查多种癌症，更有针对性的筛查活动将更早地发现更多癌症，从而可以更好地治疗[9] 数据的重要性 - 数据是AI的燃料，需要高质量、适用且统一[14] - 基因组测序的成本已大幅降低，但关键在于如何利用这些数据[14][15] - Genomics England正在对10万名有患罕见疾病风险的婴儿进行基因组测序，及早发现可以避免失明等情况[16] 可穿戴设备与健康 - 可穿戴设备可以收集大量关于个人的数据，帮助人们了解自身健康状况的基线[17][18] - 可穿戴设备虽然不是医疗设备，但可以帮助人们发现身体模式的变化，从而及早发现健康问题，例如心脏病甚至癌症[19] - 睡眠模式的改变可能在痴呆症症状出现前20到30年就已发生，因此，如果能够识别这些数据中的模式，就有机会采取行动[20] 医疗的最终目标 - 医疗的目标不仅是延长寿命，还要提高生活质量，保持身心健康[24] - AI有潜力将医疗体系从“疾病护理”转变为“健康护理”，并为所有人提供服务[24]

[Music] Good afternoon everyone. Have you ever felt that your life is running on a repeat. You wake up every morning.You go to work, you check emails, you follow the same conversations, you follow the same meetings, sometimes the same decisions and the same habits. And by evening you wonder, did you really live today or did you just cycle through a version of yesterday. And in that cycle, do we stop learning. Do we stop growing.Or do we become less capable of navigating a world that is not operating on repe ...

Core Argument - Mathematics is presented as a fundamental language of nature, not merely a human invention, underlying patterns observed from microscopic to cosmic scales [1][2][22] - The presentation explores the prevalence of mathematical patterns, particularly the golden ratio (approximately 1 to 1.618) and Fibonacci sequence, in various natural and man-made designs [3][4][5] Golden Ratio and its Applications - The golden ratio is believed to create visually pleasing designs, making it appealing for company logos and artistic creations [4][7][8] - Examples include its presence in human faces (e g, Challenu), artworks (e g, Mona Lisa), and architecture (e g, Taj Mahal), suggesting a subconscious human attraction to this proportion [6][7][8] Mathematical Patterns in Nature - Besides the golden ratio, nature exhibits other mathematical patterns such as fractals (e g, in romanesco broccoli) and various symmetries (e g, bilateral symmetry in butterflies, rotational symmetry in spiderwebs, modular symmetry in honeycombs) [9] - These patterns are attributed to nature's preference for efficiency [9] Historical Use of Mathematics - Early uses of mathematics can be traced back to at least 3000 BCE in the Indus civilization, where it was used for land demarcation [10][11] - Egyptians also utilized mathematical principles, such as right angles, in constructing pyramids, with evidence suggesting the use of rope methods with knots to ensure accurate square bases [15][16] Origins of Mathematical Thinking - Mathematical thinking is closely linked to logic, with many early mathematicians also being philosophers [22] - The presentation suggests that mathematics was invented as a language and set of symbols to communicate the patterns discovered in the universe [22][23]

Human Behavior & Communication - Understanding human behavior patterns is crucial for building trust, fostering innovation, and improving communication within organizations [3] - Recognizing and addressing subtle communication signals, such as body language, can prevent misunderstandings and improve team dynamics [10][11][12] - Experiential exercises can serve as learning loops for teams, helping them identify communication barriers and improve future interactions [12][13] Team Dynamics & Collaboration - Openness, knowledge transfer, and shared experiences within teams can unlock creative power and foster a positive work environment [7] - Breaking down silos between departments is essential for promoting collaboration, teamwork, and knowledge sharing [14][15] - Addressing negative patterns that hinder collaboration is crucial for realizing the true potential of a team [15] Change Management & Leadership - True transformation requires a change in mindset, which is essential for the sustainability of any initiative [16][17] - Leaders and managers must be aware of negative patterns that impede collaboration to foster openness and facilitate change [15] - Reflecting on individual and team patterns can promote curiosity and improve understanding of how people react to each other [18] Personal Development & Presentation Skills - Stepping outside one's comfort zone and addressing bad habits are common traits of successful speakers [5] - Clarity, authenticity, and stage presence are enhanced by understanding patterns of thought and expression [6] - Developing anticipation through the use of pauses can improve presentation skills [5]
