Living in Silicon Valley, watching AI evolve daily. To give my children a sense of belonging, I’ve started decoding the "Carbon-Based Wisdom" of our primordial roots — from the first spark of fire to the dawn of order.
I am a professional in Silicon Valley, witnessing the AI revolution every day. I realized my grown children, while embracing the future, lack a connection to the "original code" of their heritage. I've started translating these stories for them—framing ancient history as "Carbon-Based Wisdom" to help them find their footing in a silicon-dominated world.
The Story Behind This Project | 这一课，写给未来的孩子
English: Today’s world feels surreal and fractured: on one side, a tidal wave of technology racing toward the future; on the other, the crumbling reality of our present struggles. Living in the heart of Silicon Valley, I watch AI evolve at lightning speed. To give my children a sense of belonging, I began translating these stories for them. I want them to decipher the strength of our carbon-based humanity before the silicon era fully arrives.
中文： 现在的世界，有一种魔幻的撕裂感：一面是奔向未来的科技狂潮，一面是愈发破碎的现实困境。我身处硅谷核心，每天看着 AI 飞速演化。为了让孩子找回这份底气，我开始为他们翻译这些故事。我想让他们在硅基时代彻底到来之前，先破译碳基文明最深处的力量。
