[Dream Blueprint] Learn from Project Hale Mary, three thought engines that will turn the impossible into the possible

To you, who has put a lid on your dreams, saying, "It's not possible anyway."

Let's confess honestly.

I was sleepy many times while reading Andy Weir's masterpiece science fiction, Project Hale Mary.

If you too had the same experience in the esoteric science part. And if somewhere in your heart you feel that you can't become the protagonist of such a grand story.

This article is for you.

The true value of this story is not scientific knowledge. It is the "trajectory of thought" that leads to ordinary people meeting friends, breaking common sense, turning their weaknesses into weapons, and turning their dreams (salvation of humanity) that they thought were impossible into reality**.

This is the ultimate "Dream Blueprint", covered in the skin of a story that saves the universe.

Roughly speaking

1. Your dream is small. However, if you connect your dreams with "aliens," it becomes a dream of the universe.
2. The true nature of the wall that "it's impossible" is the common sense you created. Break that wall all over.
3. The complexes you want to hide will turn into the strongest weapon no one can imitate.

Engine 1: Dreams that you can't see on your own. "Modular Thinking"

When we talk about our dreams, we are too humbled. In a small box of "what you can do", you can reduce it to the size of your dreams.

The main character, Grace, is a biologist, and Rocky is an engineer. They could not save humanity or their race alone.

But they connected each other's dreams.

Grace's dream of "solving the mystery of astrophages" and Rocky's dream of "saving the planet of his hometown." When different dreams were connected, it evolved into a grand dream of "saving two civilizations," something that could never be seen on oneself.

This is "module thinking". Connect your own dream module with the other's dream module to create a larger application.

Have you ever told anyone about your dreams?

Isn't he still in his heart because he's afraid of being laughed at for being "silly"?

However, the fragments of your dreams may only shine when combined with someone else's fragments. There are limits to dreams you can see on your own. However, dreams you have with your friends can grow as much as you want.

Engine 2: Breaks out the wall of "unability." "Zero-Based Thinking"

The biggest barrier to dreams. That's an inner voice that says, "It's not possible anyway."

"Why is Tau Sechi the only one being saved?"

In response to this mystery, they faced the wall of "common sense" that "Tau Sechi is special." But they broke the wall.

"Is there something to restrain?"

This hypothesis disrupted the common sense that "astrophages continue to grow unilaterally" and opened a new door called "predator taumeba" that no one could have imagined.

Isn't the true nature of "unability" that blocks your dreams also common knowledge you created yourself?

"I don't have the talent," "I'm not young anymore," and "I have no success stories."

But is that really true?

Isn't it not that you have no talent, you just haven't found a way to fight for you yet? Isn't it not that there are no success stories, it's just that "you should be your first success story"?

"Zero-Based Thinking" is a way of thinking that skepticism and invents new rules of the game. The wall you feel is "unable" is waiting for it to be destroyed.

Engine 3: Turn complexes into weapons. "Spartan evolution thinking"

And the last engine. This is the ultimate alchemy that will turn you from "a large group of others" to "a unique being."

The savior Taumeba had a fatal complex about being "suppressed by nitrogen." It's a hopeless situation.

But they did not escape from their weaknesses.

Rather, the Spartan education, which was deliberately exposed to a nitrogen environment, forced the Taumeba to evolve and transform it into an individual with the strongest nitrogen tolerance.

It was the complex that became the ultimate trigger for evolution.

What weakness does you want to hide? Are you less good at talking than other people? Are you bored personality? Has it been a big mistake?

But that's your own weapon.

Because he is not good at speaking, his "literary talent" may be refined, as he is able to weave words more deeply than anyone else. It may be that it is because they get bored of it that they are a mass of "curiosity" that allows them to challenge new fields one after another.

"Spartan evolutionary thinking" is not trying to eliminate weaknesses, but rather polish them to the limit and turn them into a brilliance that no one can imitate. Your complex is the best gift for you to be you.

Conclusion: Now, let's launch your rocket

What Project Hale Mary teaches us is the fact that beyond steady thought there is an incredible miracle waiting for us.

Our lives are nothing more than journeys into unknown space.

So, what exactly should you start with? The answer is simple.

**Now, try writing down on paper the "dreams" that you find reckless, epic, and ridiculous that you find yourself laughing at as a child. **

That's your own "Project Hale Mary." This is the first blueprint for your rocket to fly into space, wielding the gravity of what is impossible.

If you wanted more hints along the way.

To put it simply, It's time for you to read Project Hale Mary too.

The thinking methods I talked about in this article are merely sketches of maps I have interpreted. A true adventure, a light-hearted (and extremely clever) exchange with Rocky, and an ending that you can't read without tears, only meaningful when you experience it yourself.

Will science make you sleepy? It's okay, me too. But I can assure you that beyond that, there will be an unforgettable intellectual excitement awaits you.
