Why Logarithmic Thinking?

报道 个人文章

The impact of an idea is like the strike of an earth-quake, and I think we should have a “Richter scale” of magnitude for potential impact of ideas to compare them.In a world, which is moving exponentially [1], it is important to have the right scale to look at innovation — a scale suitable to our linear thinking.

I think, just like the Richter scale, the scale measuring the impact of innovations should be logarithmic, and hence — the logarithmic thinking.

想法本身的潜力是一种度量,而想法在人类社会中会造成什么样的效果需要另一种度量。这种度量很难,所有人类的行为和思想相互作用的结果,要如何才能预测呢?如果能够预测,那么当前的人类社会是被计算出来的结果吗?
