After watching the Round Table School, I quickly became a fan of BGI CEO Yin Ye.
His wisdom and erudition make all the good words seem inferior.
After reading many of his views, you will understand that scientists who do not understand philosophy are not good academicians.
He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Whether it is the evolution of the earth or the origin of mankind, all living things or artificial intelligence, human history or the future of the universe, he can answer it from a scientific perspective. Look at the feeling of his words. It's like going to a library or doing mental gymnastics. It can always have a strong impact on your body and mind, shocking and pleasing at the same time.
Share his classic quotes:
1. The reason why this world is beautiful is that it does not give up any color.
2. Death is the fairest procedure. Death gives the next generation a chance to take over the ecological niche of the previous generation.
3. Humanities without science is ignorant. In turn, science without the humanities is dangerous.
4. When we leave this world, I hope you have experienced both the magic of physical objects and the loveliness of human nature.
5. Genes are inherently private. It would be dangerous if human nature was selfish, because we have to use the selflessness of human nature to restrain the selfishness of genes.
6. What is the essence of human progress?
It is the next generation’s doubt and transcendence of the previous generation.
I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more.
The reason why authority can become authority is because he subverts authority.
7. Even the smallest insect is more complex than a planet.
8. Imprinting is genes, and imprinting is behavior.
9. One person represents an ecosystem.
Humans have 86 billion neurons, monkeys have 6 billion, and mice have 70 million, so humans are the most intelligent.
He once made four wishes: to make the genes he was born with healthy and promise a future without rare diseases; to make the genes that change with the times controllable, and to promise a world free from tumors; Temperature freezing time, a dream of rejuvenation; using human nature to defeat "lazy entropy", a great wish for everyone's health.
These wishes are the simple feelings of a scientist. For Teacher Yin, we ordinary people are a group of ordinary people who have not yet enlightened.
And his existence is to arouse as many next generations as possible to awaken and pursue life sciences. Let the light and charm of life sciences shine on the birth of more young scientists.
Because life is so wonderful, but we know so little about it.
