Life in Cambodia has been amazing with minimal spending, helping me correct wasteful habits and reshape the way I live.
Today, I purchased a silver coin issued by the National Bank of Cambodia.
It cost about USD 40, which is the second most expensive single purchase I have made here, next only to a one-month boxing membership (USD 70).
I found it at the souvenir shop of the SOSORO Museum, which documents how monetarism was introduced to Cambodia.
The country had long relied on commodity trading, but the exhibition explained that monetarism is essential for modern societal development.
Whether we like it or not, that is probably true.
However, monetarism is ultimately just one form of quantification.
Neurological diseases are a good example.
Many are still considered incurable, despite numerous reported recoveries.
One major reason is the lack of systematic and quantitative methods to assess change.
Even today, patients are asked to walk 10 metres while clinicians measure time using a stopwatch.
Despite major technological advances, the assessment remains primitive and offers limited quantitative insight.
Clinicians may sense improvement, but determining how much improvement has occurred remains difficult.
My belief is simple: quantification is the key to solving complex problems.
I aim to contribute to neuromotor health by advancing AI-driven gait biomechanics.
