MOC : [[4 GARDEN/Modèles Mentaux]] *** The idea is basically that if you benefit from an interest rate on any unit, reinvesting the benefits will compound over time toward exponential and extraordinary results. A simple formula is: 1 unit compounding for 50 years at 10% yearly interest rate will equal to 117 units in the end. This notion comes from the world of finance but can be applied widely: - Social relationships - the more you have, the more you get from your 3rd circle - Physical health - working out allows you to reap compounding rewards - Learning - the more knowledgeable you become, the more connections you can make => This last point connects to [[Memory and the brain]] as making new connections is key to remembering and use units of knowledge => [[How to build huge social impact]] *** ### Impact IA — *From Claude* AI progress itself compounds — 6 curves multiplying each other (cf. [[1 PROJECTS/* Symbiosis/Ressources/The Next 156 Weeks - Michael Simmons]]). The human compounding that matters most: relationships, judgment, embodied experience. These compound slower but are the ones AI cannot replicate.
