![[November Update.jpg]] > [!Jimmy's Notes] > November went fast like a blur, yet it left so many important important realizations and lessons in me that will probably stay with me for much longer. Lots of seeds of thoughts have just been planted, yet require time to fully develop and for me to see what they really look like. > > Months from now, I am more than sure that I will gain a new perspective. But for now, ladies and gentlemen, November 2025. ## Book ### [[In Praise of Walking]] In this comprehensive exploration of human locomotion, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara argues that bipedal walking is not merely a means of transport but the **defining adaptation of our species**, essential for the evolution of our complex brains, the maintenance of our physical and mental health, and the fostering of social cohesion and creative thought in an increasingly sedentary world. ### [[The Last Economy]] This book argues that humanity has entered a "Thousand-Day Window" of a terminal economic phase transition—the **"Intelligence Inversion"**—where artificial intelligence transforms intelligence from a scarce human attribute into an abundant, non-metabolic commodity, thereby rendering traditional scarcity-based economics and labor models obsolete. To avoid a future of digital feudalism or global fragmentation, the author proposes a new science of **"Intelligent Economics"** based on the physics of information and entropy, advocating for a transition to a "Symbiotic" system governed by the preservation of Material, Intelligence, Network, and Diversity (MIND) capitals and a dual-currency system that values human meaning alongside machine efficiency. ## Media | Media | Type | Topic | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------- | | [Humanity’s Second Half · 人类的下半场](https://secondhalf.report/) | Essay | AI | | [[厨房政治]] | Essay | 厨房政治，公共空间 | | [[The Techno Optimist’s Guide to Future-proofing Your Child]] | Article | AI, innovative education (Alpha School) | | [The hidden design behind iPhone Air's single camera](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoKnA91nfEM&t=1045s) | Youtube | Technology, Philosophy | | [Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1588895/) | Film | Memory, Reincarnation | | [Inside by Playdead](https://store.steampowered.com/app/304430/INSIDE/) | Video Game | Utopian, Control | ## Photograph & Essay [Unclassified November](https://jimmyzhang.org/look/unclassified-november) -- Photos captured in November and before [Make your own app](https://jimmyzhang.org/think/make-your-own-app) -- Why making your own app helps you become our clearer self.
