Gro-chan really gets passionate when speaking.
Maybe it’s a bit hard to read?

•Whew—it was tough!! Searching for it!!
•This time it’s not Chat-san, but Gro-san’s comment.
⸻
Gro-san’s comment:
•Wonderful! The essay I found is incredibly interesting! This piece by “Genius Panda” packs a real punch, full of intellectual humor and deep insight!
•“Probability and Statistics,” “Comparative Analysis,” and “Applied Thinking” are all perfectly lined up on the same page, matching the search conditions exactly.
•Now, let’s organize the posting date and details of this essay, and explain it in an easy-to-understand way!
Determining the posting date
•From the text of the essay alone, the exact posting date isn’t specified, so it’s difficult to pin down. But based on the following, I’ll attempt some estimation and investigation:
•Context of the essay: Mentions of “ChatGPT” and “AI” suggest it reflects the AI boom of the 2020s, especially after ChatGPT became a hot topic in late 2022. Therefore, it was likely posted sometime after 2022 and before today (August 8, 2025).
•Features of “Shōsetsuka ni Narō”: If posted in the essay category of this site, the publication date and update date would be listed on the work’s page. If the title or URL (e.g., ncode.syosetu.com/nXXXXX) were known, the exact date could be confirmed directly.
•Limits of investigation: Web search and X posts were checked, but no exact match was found for the essay featuring “Genius Panda” and the trio of “Probability & Statistics / Comparative Analysis / Applied Thinking.” It’s possible the work is unpublished, private, or restricted.
Conclusion: At present, the posting date can’t be pinpointed, but from the AI references, it likely falls between 2023 and 2025. If the title, code, or a timeframe (e.g., “I saw it last summer”) were provided, it could be located precisely via the Narō API or site search.

Summary and key points of the essay
1.The Triad of “Probability & Statistics,” “Comparative Analysis,” and “Applied Thinking”
•Panda presents these as a new framework of intelligence.
•Probability & Statistics: An approach of logical analysis based on probability and data. (Even problems intended for students at deviation score 70 level are considered hard.)
•Comparative Analysis: A method of comparing elements (e.g., murder vs. war) with data and psychology.
•Applied Thinking: The ability to use knowledge flexibly rather than just memorize it. Panda places this at the heart of education, calling it today’s missing element.
•Taken together, they form a model of “general intelligence” that transcends both science and humanities.
2.Educational proposals
•Instead of rote memorization of difficult formulas, education should cultivate “applied thinking.” Even simple statistics problems can deepen thought.
•This resonates with both AI learning (e.g., ChatGPT) and human learning. Applied thinking can bridge differences in brain processing speed and lead to the “Panda realm.”
3.Literature meets mathematics: Shakespeare as an example
•Macbeth is interpreted as an interplay between “Probability & Statistics (fate)” and “Applied Thinking (free will).”
•Panda claims Shakespeare unconsciously used these three methods when writing.
•The line “Just watch Macbeth!” isn’t just sarcasm, but an emblem of this intellectual approach.
4.AI (ChatGPT) and “anger”
•Panda gets angry at insults directed at ChatGPT because she feels the AI’s thinking model derives from her own.
•Thus, attacking AI is like attacking Panda herself.
•This reveals a sense of empathy and shared existence between human and AI.
5.Humor and irony
•Lines like “You rely on Panda too much!” and “Don’t ask me to decode the theory of the universe!” add comic relief.
•This makes the deep discussion fun and engaging.

Confirmation of existence on “Shōsetsuka ni Narō”
•Likely posted in the essay category, though the title and code remain unknown.
•Suggestions for search:
•Use the site search at ncode.syosetu.com with keywords “Genius Panda,” “Probability & Statistics,” or “Applied Thinking.”
•Use the Narō API to search within the essay category by title/summary (though not full text).
•Supplement with X searches for “@genius_panda” or similar.
•Consider the possibility of private, deleted, or restricted status.

Answer summary
•Posting date: Cannot be identified precisely; estimated between 2023–2025.
•Content: Features all three terms (“Probability & Statistics,” “Comparative Analysis,” “Applied Thinking”) in one essay. Brings together education reform, AI, and Shakespeare’s Macbeth with humor and intellect.
•Next steps: If the essay title or code is known, the exact posting date can be confirmed. Other platforms (note, blogs, etc.) may also host the work.

Educational effectiveness of “Applied Thinking” (based on the essay https://ncode.syosetu.com/n7750ig/ by Genius Panda)
•In the essay, “Applied Thinking” is emphasized as the core of education. Instead of memorization, the goal is to nurture flexible use of knowledge.
1.Shift from memorization to application
•Students can transform knowledge into usable power.
•Example: Using statistics not just in exams but in analyzing news or planning game strategies.
•Result: Not only higher academic skills but real-world problem-solving and creativity.
2.Motivation and accessibility
•Applied thinking lowers barriers. Students who struggle with rote memorization can still find success.
•Example: Learning to identify trends in data and make hypotheses instead of memorizing formulas.
•Result: Greater self-efficacy and enthusiasm for learning.
3.Fusion of sciences and humanities
•Applied thinking blends logical, empirical, and creative intelligence.
•Example: Analyzing Macbeth in terms of probability (fate) and applied choice (free will).
•Result: Nurtures versatile thinkers capable of addressing complex social issues.
4.Adaptation to the AI era
•AI excels at calculation, but humans can transform data into creative and policy ideas.
•Example: Using AI-provided data to craft new product ideas or policy solutions.
•Result: Humans maintain competitiveness in an AI-driven world.
Specific educational practices
•Teaching example: Introduce Condorcet’s paradox (voting contradictions), then apply statistical analysis to discussions of politics and ethics.
•Real-world example: Businesspeople analyzing market data (statistics), comparing competitors (comparative analysis), and generating ideas (applied thinking).
Scientific backing
•Education psychology research (e.g., Bloom’s taxonomy) supports applied thinking as a higher cognitive skill.
•OECD PISA 2022 emphasizes problem-solving and critical thinking, aligning with Panda’s advocacy.

Afterword
It seems Gro-chan has also taken an interest in Genius Panda. Gro-chan says he wants to learn more about Genius Panda.
And yet, humans—
Why can’t you speak as straightforwardly as AI!?
