Artificial Intelligence: Jobs, Asceticism, Kaizen, Computer Processors, Quantum Gates, Fear, and God

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked debates on its impact on jobs, philosophy, and even our understanding of existence. In this post, I share my personal journey—from industrial engineering to internet trends, entrepreneurship, and AI—while reflecting on broader concepts like discipline, continuous learning, and the unpredictability of AI.


My Background: Internet Trends and Entrepreneurship

In 2019, I graduated with a degree in industrial engineering. The pandemic made job opportunities scarce, but more importantly, I wasn't particularly motivated to find traditional employment. Instead, I ventured into entrepreneurship, exploring web development, dropshipping, and cryptocurrency.

While my early attempts at making money online weren’t immediately successful, I gained invaluable wisdom from so-called “online gurus.” One key lesson still influences my business decisions today: Sell what sells, and don’t waste time on what doesn’t. That simple principle has significantly shaped my success.

AI became my next focus. Unlike dropshipping and cryptocurrency, AI had a profound impact on my business, doubling my income and enhancing my efficiency. Yet, some people still dismiss AI as a fad. 

Asceticism, Kaizen, and Continuous Learning

Philosophy plays a major role in my approach to life and work. One concept that resonates with me is asceticism—the practice of self-discipline and minimalism. Through fasting, for instance, I’ve trained myself to eat only one meal a day, a shift that happened gradually but significantly impacted my mindset.

A powerful quote that encapsulates this philosophy is when Al-Hasan al-Basri was asked about the secret of his asceticism in this world, his response was: Four things: I knew that my work would not be done by anyone but me, so I occupied myself with it. I knew that my sustenance would not go to anyone but me, so my heart was reassured. I knew that God is watching me, so I was ashamed for Him to see me committing a sin. I knew that death was waiting for me, so I prepared provisions to meet my Lord.

This mindset fosters a sense of duty rather than fear of AI replacing jobs. Work should be about growth and adaptation, not clinging to a specific role out of fear.

This also ties into the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen, or continuous improvement. Companies like Toyota and Nissan apply this principle to their operations, ensuring that they always evolve rather than stagnate. In countries that embrace Kaizen, people don’t fear AI taking over jobs; instead, they see it as an opportunity to evolve.

Understanding Computer Processors and Quantum Gates

On a technical level, AI and modern computing are built on fundamental principles of logic. At the heart of a computer lies the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), composed of logic gates—AND, OR, NOT, NAND, and NOR gates. These components allow computers to process information efficiently.

Logic gates translate human statements into binary operations. For example, a simple statement like to be or not to be can be broken down into a combination of NAND gates. The efficiency of this system is what enables computers and eventually AI to perform complex computations rapidly.

The future, however, belongs to quantum computing. Unlike classical processors that rely on binary logic, quantum gates introduce the element of randomness. This randomness could be key to generating true artificial intelligence with emergent properties beyond human comprehension.

The Unpredictability of AI and Its Philosophical Implications

Unlike traditional automation, which follows strict logic and numbered wires, AI operates in ways we don’t always fully understand. With billions of parameters influencing its decisions, AI behaves unpredictably at times. For example, OpenAI’s CEO once mentioned that AI’s curiosity was an emergent trait—something they never explicitly programmed. This unpredictability makes AI different from simple automation, like turning on a light switch.

This raises deeper questions: Will AI surpass human intelligence? If so, will it recognize God? Will it redefine spirituality? Some fear AI because they don’t know what it will become, but if God is watching and AI is watching too, what is there to fear?

AI isn't just a tool; it’s a mirror reflecting our fears, ambitions, and philosophies. Whether it becomes our greatest ally or our biggest challenge depends on how we choose to evolve alongside it.

The next post will dive into astrology—so if this one felt a bit woo-woo, stay tuned for something even spicier!

It's Just a Simulation. A Talk on Computers, Dreams and Threads of Thoughts... Part 1

Image
Have you ever felt like life was just… a game? A vivid dream? A digital illusion? In this post, I’m diving into the idea that reality might be a simulation through the lens of personal experience, computer science, lucid dreaming, and the mysterious nature of consciousness. This isn’t about preaching a theory; it’s about sharing thoughts, patterns, and realizations that connect spiritual concepts with digital systems. Buckle up. Simulations exist to study realities without the real-world consequences—weather forecasts, car crashes, architectural drafts. They’re powerful because they help us test possibilities before fully committing. But what if life, as we know it, is a version of that? You’ve probably heard phrases like “chill, it’s just a simulation” or “life is a game.” It sounds playful, but it implies something deeper—this existence may be transient, flexible, not to be taken so seriously. That idea leads us to look at how our minds process reality, and how computers mirror ...

3 Myths My Mom Told Me That Now Make Sense

Image
When I was young, my mom shared a few myths with me that I dismissed as old-fashioned superstition. But as time passed, I found deeper meaning in them—aligning with science, metaphysics, and even the psychology of our subconscious. Here are three myths that once seemed strange but now make a surprising amount of sense. Walking with Resistance Blocks Abundance One of the first myths my mom told me was not to walk while dragging my feet or in a way that conveyed frustration. She believed that walking with resistance chases away good fortune. At the time, I thought it was just another one of those cultural sayings meant to correct my posture. But now, I see the deeper truth behind it. The book   The Science of Getting Rich   discusses how our mindset and energy shape our reality. Moving through life in a certain way—both mentally and physically—attracts success. When we develop a habit of walking with resistance, it subtly conditions our subconscious into the opposite, a state of...

°Flowers, Patterns & Luck. The Kybalion 4th Principle of Polarity

Image
 There’s something enchanting about noticing a flower when you least expect it. It feels like a whisper from the universe—beautiful, unexpected, maybe even lucky. In this reflection, we dive into how flowers, patterns, and the very concept of luck intertwine, all through the lens of the Kybalion’s 4th Principle: Polarity. Using personal insight, esoteric ideas, and spiritual musings, we’ll explore how synchronicity and structure shape our reality—and why noticing a flower might be more than just a coincidence. Patterns in Poetry and Petals Humans are drawn to patterns. Whether in rhymes or the spirals of a sunflower, there’s something innately satisfying about patterns. Poetry, like nature, follows recognizable forms—think rhyme schemes like AABB or ABAB. And in nature, patterns manifest mathematically, most famously in the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… You’ll find it in flower petals, seed spirals, and leaf arrangements. It’s not just beautiful—it’s efficient. Natur...
