Why We Should Rethink Watching Short Videos In today’s digital age, short videos have become an omnipresent form of entertainment. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts have made it easier than ever to consume bite-sized content. While short videos can be fun and engaging, there are several compelling reasons why we should reconsider how much time we spend watching them. 1. Impact on Attention Span Short videos, often lasting just 15-60 seconds, are designed to be quick, attention-grabbing, and addictive. The more we engage with this fast-paced content, the more we condition our brains to crave constant stimulation. This can lead to a reduced ability to focus on longer, more complex tasks, such as reading a book, engaging in deep thinking, or working on a meaningful project. Over time, our attention span shrinks, making it harder to stay engaged with anything that requires sustained focus. 2. Reduced Critical Thinking Short videos typically present information in a ...

Why Shouldn’t We Use Telegram? While Telegram is widely praised for its features like cloud-based storage, group chats, and customizable settings, there are valid concerns that might make some users reconsider its usage. Here are the key reasons why Telegram might not be the ideal choice for certain individuals or organizations: 1. Questionable Encryption Choices Telegram does not use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default for most chats. Instead, it relies on its proprietary MTProto encryption protocol, which has faced criticism from security experts for not being independently verified to the same extent as widely trusted encryption standards like Signal's protocols. For sensitive communications, this lack of default E2EE can leave chats vulnerable to interception. 2. Centralized Data Storage Telegram stores user data, including messages (unless encrypted in "Secret Chats"), on its servers. This centralized approach can make the platform an attractive target for hacker...

I update my blog less frequently, have less free time, and the quality of my blog content is still poor. For this reason, I will reflect for a long time and wait for the right time to start writing blogs again to provide readers with a better reading experience. It is very likely that there will be no updates for a long time, and I express my deep apologies for this.
Can Happiness Be Generated on Its Own?

Happiness usually stems from external stimuli or internal cognitive and emotional responses. Although external conditions (such as success, social relationships, and entertainment activities) can bring happiness, happiness can also be generated by internal psychological mechanisms. For example, psychological practices such as meditation, mindfulness, positive thinking, and gratitude can help people feel happy without external stimuli. This shows that happiness can be generated by itself by consciously changing one's way of thinking and emotional regulation. --ChatGPT But for me personally, it is extremely difficult to achieve. I have tried meditation, but my mind is a mess. I am probably too impatient and too anxious. Alas!

There are too many moments when we regretted wasting time in the past and realized the pain of impending crisis, just like the man generated by DALL-E. I often experience such moments, and every time I feel extremely painful. For me, my biggest problem is that it is difficult to balance entertainment and learning. As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain, and I have experienced this firsthand. It seems that I don’t have a real, heart-wrenching feeling from self-preaching again and again, which is quite sad. Even though I have thousands of thoughts, I waste them on some unnecessary trivial matters. Or for a momentary smile, or for a momentary cry and sympathy. If I waste time on these boring emotions, I guess it will be too late to do the right thing. If I really have to wait until extreme measures are taken to solve this problem, my self-control will be gone. I still hope that this power is still by my side. I must do everything I can to reverse this unfavorable situation and ...
