Today let's talk about how to predict a silent stroke. A silent stroke is a stroke that has no

symptom. So how could you actually predict it? Is it possible? Well, we're going to use this

book right here, one of my favorite books. It's called The Technology of War. You probably heard

of the Art of War by Sansou, but the technology of war was written by this guy who found that

there's so many confusions in the Art of War, he decided to learn Mandarin Chinese and

transcribe the entire original text. He was curious about if the original text was the same as

some of these books that are put out there, the Art of War, or slightly different. And in a thumbnail,

he found out that that original text was severely altered to the point of a lot of false information,

a lot of confusing information. And so it's really difficult to make sense out of the Art of War.

And even if you look at the original text on the name of the book, it wasn't even called the

Art of War because art implies more maybe creativity, but a technology is a very specific thing.

And so the technology of war is Sansou's original transcript on how he won so many wars.

So we're going to apply that to the body. And the reason I'm going to do this is because of this

word prediction. This book is really into predicting things, like number one, if you should go into

battle or not, you can predict that based on your advantages and things like that. If you only have

a 10% chance of winning a battle, you better not go to war. You better run in the other direction

as fast as you can because there's no advantage there. You're going to lose. So he talks a lot about

certain things or like clues or indicators to know if you're going to be successful or not.

So we can apply this to the body too, and especially with the area of strokes. So even though you

don't have this obvious symptom to tell you're going to get an stroke, there are some things that

can very easily give you information to know if you are going to have a stroke or not.

And another really good reference or paragraph, which I'm going to paraphrase,
