特朗普与马斯克一点也不疯
我非常肯定特朗普和马斯克都不是傻瓜。单看表面而认定他们有病的话会中计,忽略了他们的大局铺排和真正目的,错误看待这百年不遇大变局,不幸的话甚至会招来不必要的损失,因为无论他们成功或失败都会对美国带来巨大改变,影响全球。

A Simple Flowchart of Life
Had Descartes not thought at all, he'd still have been, just less aware. The 'meaning of life' is summed up in a flowchart with 60 words

人生作业流程图
笛卡尔凭一句「我思故我在」成名,然而他不思不考的话,也大概率会曾经存在,只不过与大部分人相似,浑噩过活,茫茫然不知所以过一生而已。思考可能并非存在大前题,但绝对是认识人生的起点,究竟真谛的途径,也可能是人类与野兽的基本分野。
我用几十个字编造了一个流程图。。。

聪明人的五毒
能够明白聪明「怎」被聪明所误而自我解脱的话,聪明人的一生大概率比傻瓜活得自在。脑袋发达的人容易过于自信好胜,自觉有执着的「理由」,放下等于失败心有不甘,无意中强化了习气,招致五毒攻心。聪明人头壳内的那块肉特别发达,与天生壮健的人肌肉分外粗壮是同一现象,只不过部位不同。

The Curse of Intelligence
clever people are better equipped to learn, absorb, and utilise information. How then could anyone be too clever for his own good?

留在框内反思
何谓创新呢?被市场追捧了几十年的「创意」,最后除了五花八门的武器和满街满巷的刷屏行尸外,为人类的幸福贡献过些什么呢?可能是时候稍停片刻,摆脱市场枷锁,在我们永远无法跳出的大框框内静静反思一下了

Thinking Inside The Box
What is innovation? Why is it so blindly promoted? And what has it contributed to humanity after decades of desperate promotion?

有关核废水的谬误
假如福岛核废水排海可接受的话,切尔诺贝利经过几十年的「化解」,大概可以开发成旅游区了。再者,就算从最偏颇的角度审视,也不可能否定福岛核废水的害处远远高于一般的生活和工业废水;既然福岛可以排海,那么全球数以万计的污水处理设施是否都可以关闭,直接「深海处理」了事?

The Fukushima Nuclear Fallacies
If Fukushima can discharge into the sea, thousands of sewage plants worldwide could be closed down, replaced by a long pipe out to sea?

西方「自由传媒」的兴衰
理论上,绝对新闻自由有其利弊,但如何界定假新闻和恶意谣言等技术问题永远不会有公认答案。然而这从未实现过的「自由」理念于过去几十年一直被大力吹嘘,成了部分人的信仰。普及科技彻底改变了通讯环境,自由传媒这维持了短短几十神话正面对严峻挑战。。。

冥想「活在当下」
「活在当下」乍听理所当然,但细想之下会发现不少值得思考的问题。经过几番思量,我觉得「活在当下」的确是大道理,但实行起来并不简单,除了需要高度集中之外,也要懂得抽离放下和接受现实。我的一个小小经历,意外证明了停止抗拒不受欢迎的现实可以将其改变,从新定义,乃至消除。

活冤魂
十年前在 “过渡博客” 写过关于美国在伊拉克扔贫铀弹的暴行,令人发指,想不到今天英国又再奉命搬出这绝子绝孙的武器来制造新闻,有点儿难以置信!
