涟漪青年说丨我在粤北小县城,当一个「身边」文化的闯荡者
连州人要走得出去,也要走得回来。
作为被推广的传统美食,牛肉干被制造、被销售、被购买、被送礼,围绕在它的周围的是利益与生计。我们所说的文化传承一定是充满诗意的吗?牛肉干制作的传承,不过是外出打工的孩子被家里人以“赚的更多”为理由劝回老家做牛肉干而已。但是,做牛肉干从一开始就是一种生计,家庭作坊需要分工,进行售卖也需要各个家庭、家族之间互相配合,遵守约定,才能让每个家庭的利益最大化,由此也联系起了所有的小作坊,成为了村子独特的产业(虽然丰阳牛肉干如今来说并未算得上是产业)。我们往往把传统美食具体化为一种文化,却又很少讨论紧紧缠绕着文化的经济利益关系。
我们常讨论文化的原真性,认为披上了商业外套的传统文化已经不是我们期待的文化,但如此看来,虽然文化的功能被改变,它也依然发挥着自己联结乡土的意义。

其實係商業化在後,搞到成件事好似變咗質

一代又一代不同的生活场景构成了连续的、可述说的文化发展史,由此我将这一街道“文化”理解为“记忆”。

呢段話使我又諗起《迴響》十八期嘅<離散跳飛機>,可以講,唔同嘅時代的確有各自嘅回憶,儘管係同一個地方,都好可能發生咗大變


今期一定要講嘅就係美國墮胎專題

Of Course the Constitution Has Nothing to Say About Abortion
There is no mention of the procedure in a four-thousand-word document crafted by fifty-five men in 1787. This seems to be a surprise to Samuel Alito.
Alito’s opinion rests almost exclusively on a bizarre and impoverished historical analysis. “The Constitution makes no express reference to a right to obtain an abortion, and therefore those who claim that it protects such a right must show that the right is somehow implicit in the constitutional text,” he argues, making this observation repeatedly. Roe, he writes, was “remarkably loose in its treatment of the constitutional text” and suffers from one error above all: “it held that the abortion right, which is not mentioned in the Constitution, is part of a right to privacy, which is also not mentioned.”
Women are indeed missing from the Constitution. That’s a problem to remedy, not a precedent to honor.

用先例作為理由喺法院上係一種常見嘅操作,不過影響深遠嘅決定,理應當順應時代嘅發展,過去做得唔好嘅地方就應該將佢變得更好,而唔係要復古全部人變成原始人。

“The page of history teems with woman’s wrongs,” as the nineteenth-century abolitionist Sarah Grimké once put it. It does not teem with women’s rights. To use a history of discrimination to deny people their constitutional rights is a perversion of logic and a betrayal of justice. Would the Court decide civil-rights cases regarding race by looking exclusively to laws and statutes written before emancipation?
使女的哭聲:解讀美國「推翻墮胎權」的法律戰三大布局 | 轉角國際 udn Global
本週政治媒體《Politico》一則標題為〈美國聯邦最高法院將推翻判決先例剝奪女性墮胎權〉的獨家報導引發軒然大波。該報導指出,美國聯邦最高法院已透過Dobbs v. Jackson一案,宣告密西西比州制定15周墮胎刑罰法合憲。換言之,歷來保障婦女在24周前終止孕期自主權的幾個判決先例,包括1973年的「羅訴韋德案」(Roe v. Wade)與1992年的「計畫生育聯盟訴凱西案」(Planned Parenthood v. Casey),都將被美國聯邦最高法院所推翻。

所以都講,Trump最大嘅影響就係任命咗三位保守派大法官

網路上亦都有好好嘅從法律上反駁嘅例子,如下圖所示,非常之有道理:

但Twitter確實可以講下,變成私人所有,感覺點都唔係好事,何況Elon Musk本身就臭名昭著

順便可以多瞭解下呢位首富究竟係點嘅一個人

First, the dynamist may not care where novelty and invention spring from: Unlike the purist libertarian, he might be indifferent to questions of public versus private spending, happy to embrace government help if that’s what it takes to get the new thing off the ground — and happy to take that help from regimes like Communist China no less than from our own. And he may be willing to risk much more than either the typical progressive or the typical conservative for the sake of innovation. Political principle, social stability and moral order are all potentially negotiable when discovery alone is your North Star.
Progressives around 2010 felt a general confidence that technological and political progress were conjoined.
Ever since Trump bent history’s arc his way, however, that confidence has diminished or collapsed. Now liberals increasingly regard the internet as the zone of monsters and misinformation, awash in illiberalism, easily manipulated by demagogues, a breeding ground for insurrectionists. And if digital technology has become particularly suspect, via the transitive property so has the larger idea of innovating your way out of social or environmental problems — empowering the part of the environmental movement that wants to tame capitalism to save the planet, for instance, at the expense of the part that imagines taming climate change with fleets of Teslas and nuclear power plants.
Meanwhile, the values underlying dynamism — above all, the special pedestal given to free thinking and free speech — are also more suspect within liberalism today. In their place is a new regulatory spirit around culture as well as economics, a how-much-is-too-much attitude toward the circulation of potentially dangerous ideas, a belief in institutions of scientific and intellectual authority but not necessarily institutions devoted to wide-open inquiry.
Just as a dynamist might, at the extreme of the orientation, prefer a monarchy that protects innovation over a democracy that discourages it, some of today’s progressives are making the same move in reverse: If democracy is endangered by technological change and unfettered free speech, then so much the worse for free speech. The important thing is to save democratic self-government, even if you have to temporarily take the “liberties” out of the American Civil Liberties Union or put away your John Stuart Mill.

簡單嚟講就係,同佢嘅意識形態無關,既唔係保守主義,亦唔係自由意志主義,而係一個為創新而瘋狂嘅dynamist(極富能量嘅人,愛折騰


To Europe’s relief, France’s Macron wins but far-right gains
PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron comfortably won a second term Sunday, triggering relief among allies that the nuclear-armed power won’t abruptly shift course in the midst of the war in Ukraine from European Union and NATO efforts to punish and contain Russia’s military expansionism.

選舉結果,唔覺得意外,意料之中係Macron贏;但都有啲意外,因為分佈情況相當唔樂觀

究竟係全世界右轉,定係因為極左行得太遠(好似馬斯克發嘅嗰張圖)?
其實應該係兩邊都往更極端嘅方向走,我睇過有一篇研究係分析政治光譜嘅兩極情況,發現係兩邊更極端嘅人係不斷增加

現時嘅問題係,右派嘅政治代表實在太少,佢哋嘅訴求比較難以實現,所以會喺一次又一次失敗中積攢能量,直到有一次成功(我哋都睇到唔少嘅例子)

解決嘅問題有冇?當然會有,如果話要喺現有嘅框架下,噉就順其自然:既然兩邊都有各自嘅需求,就唯有繼續argue繼續爭取,畢竟除咗總統總理之外,仲有國會or議會可以爭;當然,亦都可以將希望放喺另一邊嘅當選人嘅,希望佢可以團結到各方嘅利益同爭端


Marcos, rebranded: Why son of dictator is leading Philippines’ polls
The campaign of ​​Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in the Philippine presidential race shows how carefully curated mythmaking and historical revision can shape an election.

菲律賓大選,有時真係要人估都估唔到菲律賓嘅民主政治倒退得咁厲害,上世紀時仲係美國喺東南亞嘅重要盟友,至少經濟好民主氛圍亦都好,點知會變成而家噉樣。雖然成日話可憐之人必有可恨之處,可能係個天想考驗一下,亦都只有喺停滯期嘅時候先知道大家究竟有幾中意民主,今次雖然可以講係資訊污染洗白嘅結果,不過都正如文章所講,正係因為而家嘅環境唔好,會令人設想威權下會唔會更高效、經濟復甦

重返恐怖政治的可能?菲律賓「威權復辟」選情Q&A | 轉角國際 udn Global
菲律賓選舉將在 2022 年 5 月 9 日舉行,前獨裁總統馬可仕的獨子「邦邦」小馬可仕將搭檔現任總統杜特蒂之女薩拉,一起角逐 2022 年菲律賓選舉的正、副總統。兩人組成的「團結陣營」(Uniteam),以勢如破竹的氣勢遙遙領先其他正副總統候選人,深得所有年齡層選民的喜愛。這一對「獨裁者子女」的組合也讓戒嚴時期的倖存者、人權團體等格外擔憂,害怕他們的勝選將會讓威權再度復辟。

所以就嚟睇下究竟嗰段時期做咗乜嘢,令到兩邊嘅觀點咁唔對等

在馬可仕的詮釋下,他要處理的是擁有地下勢力的共產黨和異議人士,而這些人都會傷害菲律賓,所以這造成的嚴重結果是當時確實有很多無辜的人或是異議份子被騷擾、被逮捕,甚至被殺害。但與此同時,民眾也沈浸在馬可仕打造出來的社會文化裡,認為菲律賓因此變得繁華,而馬可仕政府確實立了大功,除掉了所謂的叛亂份子。

again,敍事好重要,足以改變人嘅諗法

事實上,馬可仕於 1986 年被推翻下台後,接著上台並且繼續掌權菲律賓的人,依舊是在馬可仕執政前或是戒嚴時期,就已經掌握極多政治和經濟資源的家族。而他們在上台後,也一直以「自由」和「民主」自居,告訴選民可以帶菲律賓走向更好的未來,但這一些自由民主陣營依然沒辦法有效解決菲律賓的社會問題。
因此對一些選民而言,他們反而會覺得這群人僅是以「自由」和「民主」作為包裝,並且不斷以此妖魔化馬可仕政權,藉此成就自己。同理,在這樣的脈絡之下,有一些年輕人會選擇支持小馬可仕,也是因為他們認為自由民主陣營上台後,依然不會有任何改變。

the real change,when and how? 所以呢個大選結果都唔意外,只係希望經歷過之後真係會進步,而唔係一直喺呢個惡性循環入邊

這一次選舉能教會我們的或許是不能太快地用簡單二元分類,如獨裁與民主、左派與右派、笨蛋與菁英選民,去理解菲律賓。甚至,即便今年選舉的討論焦點是「歷史」,但如果仍是以人民力量革命、歷史觀點或修正史觀等去做分類,可能還是太過簡化,因為它還是難以呈現以及有助於理解生命經歷不同的菲律賓人的觀點。
因此,或許更需要被認真檢視的是:「歷史」在即將到來的選舉扮演什麼角色、選舉之後的氛圍為何,社會又如何去回應等,這將有助於刺激我們重新透過菲律賓的政治來思考這些問題。

An algorithm that screens for child neglect raises concerns
Inside a cavernous stone fortress in downtown Pittsburgh, attorney Robin Frank defends parents at one of their lowest points – when they risk losing their children. The job is never easy, but in the past she knew what she was up against when squaring off against child protective services in family c…
“When you have technology designed by humans, the bias is going to show up in the algorithms,” said Nico’Lee Biddle, who has worked for nearly a decade in child welfare, including as a family therapist and foster care placement specialist in Allegheny County. “If they designed a perfect tool, it really doesn’t matter, because it’s designed from very imperfect data systems.”

用算法嘅問題之一係,佢唔係唔會錯嘅,儘管如果設計得當,理論上喺多數情況下會比人類平均值準確,但嗰少數嘅失準就會造成誤判及其後措施產生嘅後果
何況好多時候呢啲算法都係唔透明嘅,唔公開佢哋嘅標準同邏輯

Vaithianathan and colleagues prototyped a new child abuse screening model that proposed using national data to predict the risk that the child protection system would confirm allegations that a child had been mistreated by age 5. The plan was scrapped after documents revealed the Ministry of Social Development’s head sharply opposed the project, declaring: “These are children, not lab rats.”

而且多數情況下,用嘅地方都唔啱,畀我嘅感覺就係,我哋真正需要嘅係一個話畀我哋知幾時可以用算法嘅算法


Dogs&rsquo; Personalities Aren&rsquo;t Determined by Their Breed
A new genetic study shows generalizing breeds as affectionate or aggressive doesn&rsquo;t hold up
After running the survey data and sequenced DNA through a battery of statistical analyses, Morrill and her co-authors identified 11 genetic regions strongly associated with dog behavior, such as howling frequency and sociability with humans. But none of these behavioral regions was specific to any one of the 78 breeds examined in the study. Even the behavioral traits that seemed to be breed-specific, such as biddability—how readily a dog responded to commands—were found to vary significantly among individual animals within the same breed.
The researchers concluded that breed explains only 9 percent of behavioral variation among different dogs. Biddability and some other traits that do seem to be somewhat connected to breed are likely the remnants of ancestral breeding that primarily focused on serving functions such as hunting or herding and happened over a much longer time frame.

確實冇諗到,我之前都噉以為。而家先發現原來係同種類冇關,刻板印象真無所不在


追问新知 | 你理性吗?
我们偏见地认为自己没有偏见

既然講到刻板印象,噉就可以放呢篇文了

人们的判断和决定往往是远离理性的,他们受到看似无关的因素或者没有考虑到的重要信息的影响。这些偏离理性规范的行为通常是系统性的,人们总是在同一类型的问题上失败,犯同样的错误。这类在判断或决策过程中发生的系统性偏离行为被称作认知偏差(cognitive bias)。
研究人员注意到,人们对自我和他人的感知普遍存在不对称性,不论年龄、性别、种族和教育程度为何,人们更倾向于认为自己看到的是世界的本来面目,而其他人的不同观点反映了偏见或缺乏客观性。
这种偏见反映的是一种批判性或理性思维的缺失,而不是一般认知能力或智力的缺失。训练大脑在思维模式上变得更加灵活会有助于减轻这种偏见的影响。当人们意识到我们都容易受到同样的偏见影响,可能会减少对发现他人偏见的过度警觉,尤其是那些与我们有不同意见的人。反过来,这可能会帮助人们对不同的观点和意见变得更加开放,从而促进人与人之间的理解和减少群体间的敌意。有研究发现,人们不必从直接经验中学习如何更理性,我们可以从别人的行为中吸取教训、减少偏见,改善我们的决策。
错误如果不被承认,就永远不会得到纠正,它只会阻碍进步和发展。只有当人们开始理性地审视自己,当以偏见为利器为自己攫取利益的人停止这种愚弄,当生活处于阳光之下,这场盛大的群体偏见才有可能有所遏制。

粵語雖然都喺度沒落,但地位嚟講相比於上海話、藏語已經好好……提醒自己文化嘅嘢要傳承落去需要堅持


我哋唔再有方方日記,而取而代之嘅,我哋見到更多人自己寫

某種程度上都可以講係傷痕文學嘅復興,只係冇諗到以噉嘅方式發生。而且都唔單止係上海,好多地方都一樣,而今次嘅上海,因為係經濟中心之一同較為開放嘅城市而有更多嘅關注

疫情封城總會有結束嘅一日,亦都好高興大家揾返失去已久嘅與彼此嘅聯繫。時代再唔正常,人都應該追求正常,自己值得過得更好,「好好生活其實就係一種最大嘅抵抗」

十六封疫区来信
一直以来,面对一些人和事,我总劝告和要求自己不要过于愤怒,不要过分悲伤,但仔细想想,有时愤怒和悲伤也不是坏事,只是应该给自己留一些力气,让愤怒和悲伤不至于冲散理性。
希望你永远保有不多不少刚刚好的能量,去为自己和世界真正地做点改变,不气馁不懦弱地自顾自发光。
但是38天都是自己一个人的状态也确实是第一次,隔离到20天左右的一个早上,我突然感觉到巨大的孤独,这种孤独可能来自长期的孤身,也可能来自外界的熙攘,也可能来自莫名的表达欲。这种孤独没有眼泪,没有难过,也没有害怕,就是明晃晃的孤独罢了。坐在床上打电话给朋友试图表达这种感受的时候,我突然又释然了一些,不管是孤独还是有人的陪伴,我想我都能坦然地去面对。
即使睡着了,也会因一个又一个噩梦惊醒。我控制不住地想,为什么会这样呢?为什么我好像无法再信任我们的政府?为什么每个人都在彼此帮助彼此体谅,可是每个人却还是这么累、这么委屈呢?
我和朋友们说笑,他们劝我就当体验坐牢生活啦。我苦笑说,坐牢的话,只要好好改造,有一天还是能解脱的;可是现在,根本不知道哪一天才会结束这样的日子。这是生刑呀。
在这个民间亲自,并衍生出的各种群里,我感受到了我们小区跟别的地方不一样的团结和友爱,我看到了好多年轻人承担起团长的责任,也有好多年轻人站出来帮助阳楼带物资。
后来,因为满足我自己的需求,我本人也发起了一个精品猪肉团购群,感受到作为团长组织,拉表,统计,收钱,对接等一系列事情的繁琐和责任!这件事也让我这个即将毕业的年轻人有了一些融入这个城市和社区的感觉,别人的感谢让我有了成就感,我意识到虽然我是为了自己的需求才组建的团,但是这个团真正可以帮助到其他人吃上肉!我做的事情被大家肯定和认可!这件事情的意义远远超过我最开始的出发点,我也为此感到高兴。

…………

天灾还是人祸,交给大家去评判,疫情总会过去,我们会迎来正常的生活。等到一切都过去,我们突然团结起来的小区会恢复到之前那样的陌生和平淡吗?我现在不得而知。
但是记忆永存,人们是不会忘记此时此刻上海发生的一切的。灾难来临,没有一个人可以独善其身置身事外,希望这个世界多一些同理心,爱与理解总是让人心怀阳光暖意。
也许是为了给自己一些锚点,是想要给自己“一切都会更好”的心理暗示。
但是最重要的,是像《肖申克的救赎》最后反复强调的那样,永远不要放弃希望,要相信苦痛只是暂时,而生活终将好转。
毕竟对身为大多数人你我而言,也只有对“未来”的信心与期许,才能赋予“当下”的生活最多的意义。
自由是人的天性。本来应该处理得当的疫情,却做的一无是处,于是人心惶惶,骂声不断。
我甚至不敢去看网络,因为我知道,一旦暴露了上海人的身份——那自然是上海人过街,人人喊打。但我从不后悔居住在这里,我从不后悔与这片土地血脉相连。
曾经也吐槽过她缺乏人情味儿,高楼大厦终成一堆破铜烂铁。曾经也说过上海不是我的故乡,不是我的血地。曾经的我,拒绝承认我脚下泥土的归属。
然而如今我才知道,当灾难来临时,我会坚定不移同我的城市站在一起。爱自己的城市,这是人的天性。
我揭露管理的缺点,不作为,面对灾难错误的决策,这都是因为我们都希望这座城市变得更好。无论如何,我也是被这片黄土孕育的人啊。

…………

去注意上海今天的夜空是橙色的,去发现卧室床铺下找了许久的书,去试着换个方法生活。无论如何,一切都会过去的。
献给每一个被禁锢的肉体,献给每一个流落四方的灵魂,献给所有被棉签捅过无数次的喉咙,献给遥远也就在我们身边的未来。
“为了对良心有个交代”,一个普通人的上海隔离日记
我决定不再逃避了,为了对良心有个交代
七天很快就过去了,觉得过得还不错。隔离的时候,一定要保证你是家里的老大。牛顿在家躲避瘟疫的时候能发现地心引力,牛顿他媳妇估计每天做牛做马快要被憋疯。(其實牛頓冇老婆)
一则网上的通告,短短几百个字;一封告居民书,薄薄的一页纸,就能让所有人改变节奏,把生活拱手交出。我在想,孙悟空被封印在五指山下,估计他努努力也能出来,只是怕出来之后天庭的严酷处罚,到时候猴群估计要喊:你把我们猴子在天地二界的信誉都给毁了!然后紧急开会把孙悟空开除猴籍,划清界限。五指山被孙悟空掀翻了的话,周围的居民估计也要抱怨连连,甚至造成次生灾害,天庭还要派天兵天将下去维稳,又怕孙悟空出去乱说什么话,还得召集文官商量对策……我估计孙悟空思前想后,决定还是不出去了。在五指山下起码还能露个头看看风景,关押时间也有个准数,要是被天庭关起来,那可就没准了。至于那个封印,就是一张破纸罢了。
我本以为人本质上与动物的差别远没有我们想象的那么大。但这次隔离让我意识到,很多看似是非必需的要素,竟成了人生意义感的支柱:蔬菜、室外活动、身体接触、与人交谈和分享的欲望……人进化出思想,开始思考活着的意义,需要快乐和满足感。等到社会秩序土崩瓦解,连动物性的基本欲望都难以满足的时刻,这些是不是就变成阿喀琉斯之踵了?
隔离期间一直逼着自己向内转,好好利用时间,享受独处。但是这何尝不是一种妥协呢?对因管控政策不合理造成的悲剧,我们愤怒,甚至流眼泪,心痛,想起远方的家人,难受得什么都干不下去。在北京的朋友好心安慰说,做好眼前事,关注自己的生活,那些事情你又有什么办法呢。我反倒更愤怒了。这不是在逃避吗?悲剧已经到了家门口,还指望我漠视吗?愤怒了一会儿,想想确实如此。所有能让我们发泄愤怒的渠道早在无数个类似事件之前堵死,现在就像动物园里奴性已成的动物,只敢在脑子里自嗨,从外面看就是一个麻木的木头人。为了保护自己而逃避问题,愤怒变成了愧疚,为了让自己免受良心的谴责,只得听从朋友的建议,少刷新闻,多看剧打游戏,让自己乐呵乐呵。自私和麻木的人就是这样来的。
精神麻木之后,好像感官也会麻木。今天打开窗户,得花上几秒才能感受到室外空气裹住皮肤。如果生活没有了意义感,只有基本的动物性的欲望能被满足,那么晴空万里或者阴云密布,日出还是日落,昨天和今天,都会混在一起,时间得靠意义感来划分。
过去的我,习惯以保护自己的名义在精神上屏蔽大大小小的悲剧事件,那这一次,再麻木的人也无法继续独善其身。他们离我实在太近,事情疯狂的程度让我感觉身处另一个时代,每一天都能刷新认知下限。最关键的是,悲剧仿佛没有尽头,没有任何的解决方案,我们都赤脚站在靠近岸边的地方,看着潮水将身边人一个一个卷入漩涡,身后连痕迹都不留下,看着他们痛苦、呐喊、尖叫,却束手无策。
我决定不再逃避了。我选择共情那些苦难者,记住他们的无助,和他们一起愤怒。我疯狂地转发、分享、截图、录屏,和朋友一起骂脏话发泄,尽量留住历史,努力不让它被抹去——为了那些被潮水卷去的人,也为了我们自己,为了对良心有个交代。
说到这里,我已经声音颤抖,鼻子开始发酸,于是索性继续说下去:“爸爸,我很少跟你说这些事情,因为我知道我们立场不一样,谁也说服不了谁,如果是别人,我可能直接把他们从我生活中剔除,但你不一样,我爱你,我不想和你有这样的隔阂……”
挂掉电话不久,爸爸拍了一张后备箱的照片,里面装满了米面粮油,然后对我说:“宝贝儿,听你的,已经囤好东西了,给你爷爷奶奶也囤好了,放心吧。”我紧绷的神经一下子放松下来,感觉和爸爸的关系在这通电话之后更近了。
过去的我也懦弱,我不敢发声,对苦难视而不见,算计自己的蝇头小利。可没关系。每个人都生来懦弱,但都会在抗争中成长。
无论身处太平或是灾祸,享受着自由还是身处隔离,尽管我们都太过渺小,但爱、幸福、孤独、愤怒……这些情感的力量异常强大,是人之所以为人的根本,能让我们变得更加勇敢。
我在方舱,看见老人们的孤岛求生|hayami’s blog
前记 2022年4月17日,上海定下20号全面清零的目标,并临时发布政策「应收尽收」。我在阳了10天转阴之后,也上了那一批的转运名单。 居委发微信和我说,没办法,临时收到的命令,连残疾人都要运走。 「连残疾人都要运走」,当时我并没有意识到这...
最后通过群众的力量终于把他送到了医院,通过群众聚集造势。然后领导最后不是因为老人的病情严重才把送医院,是因为他想要把这个事态平息下去才送到医院,会有这么一个事情,反正我们当时都吓死了。
居委会知道我是钉子户,知道我答应去之后还挺惊讶的。就给我发信息说他们其实也很无奈,说他们也是4月17号晚上7点钟的时候,临时接到命令说全部转走、应收尽收,因为4月20号的时候要达到上海社会面清零。然后说了一些话之后,她最后说“连残疾人都要转运”。我当其实是不知道这八个字背后的意义是什么。
我当时看了一下就觉得天呐,只是这样的一个非常非常抽象的一个概念。但是真的是听到了你的描述和我自己来了方舱之后,才知道这几个字的分量有多重有多残酷。
政府会跟你讲说应有尽有。然后一些年轻人会不太信,但中老年人他们可能就信了,信了之后过来就发现啥都没有。我过来的时候其实是什么都有了,因为我是比较后面我 4 月 18 号才过来的,那个时候已经是比较后期的阶段了。
但我听早一点来的姐妹说,一开始来的时候真的什么都没有。上海一些老阿姨他们其实可能会比较有那种那种基层自治的一些精神,他们就会去闹。一开始说没有盆,闹一闹,盆有了;没有水,一闹,水有了。那个容易真的不容易。然后还有什么热水也没有,他们也是去闹,就给每个舱配了一个热水,热水器可以接热水。饭菜超级差,一开始也是他们一直在提,然后慢慢慢慢有了一些伙食上的改善。
所以怎么说,一方面会觉得真的应有尽有,什么的都是骗人的;另一方面我觉得这些东西为什么要靠闹才能这些非常基本的一些生活的设施和保障。为什么要通过这种闹一闹才能闹来呢?
前期的时候大家也都是在讨论这个事情,到后期很多人已经看透了,说这个地方相当于就是一个沙漠或者是一个孤岛,大家已经到孤岛上了,怎么在孤岛上想办法去生存。
所以到后面当大家以一个孤岛心态开始去重新思考的时候,我们很多人互相帮助。既然我们没法马上改变整个流程,我们我们就无视它,把自己有的物资好好分配,然后大家互相聊天开心一点。互相帮助,在孤岛上尽量先把它度过,剩下的就等于是大家精力就全部放在这个上面/大家乐观很多,后面的氛围就越来越好了。
他们又举了一些例子,说他们看到一些视频只有半夜能刷抖音看到。然后说好像是因为是审查的人员,半夜没有在工作,所以半夜看到了,第二天又不见了。但是你白天是全天都看不到,这种他们就很害怕。
这个就是数字。现在追求的就是出去多少人,治疗多少人,回来多少人,别的都不重要。最后就是数字最重要,我们只要把数字做好,他们就满意了。至于我们的情况,只是数字里面的 1 到 2 这几个细节,这根本不重要,重要的是几万十几万几千几百的数字。
整个调度是很混乱的,首先这边的医护是没有任何权限的,然后他们没有任何的信息来源,来人就接。包括120,还有各种街道,他们互相之间信息也是很不通畅的。感觉我们在用一套非常老的办法,像是上世纪的科技。 我们的感觉非常的烂,这次非常丢脸,非常低效。
其实有点像是,大系统已经分崩离析了,我们做不了什么,所以选择无视它。都已经坏成这个样子了,还管它干嘛?我们自己把问题解决就完了,吃好睡好聊聊天,也不要让它影响我们心情了,就这种感觉。
意志消沉并不是一种抵抗的方式,好好生活其实就是一种最大的抵抗。

The Web3 Movement’s Quest to Build a ‘Can’t Be Evil’ Internet
Crypto dreamers want to free us from Big Tech and exploitative capitalism—using only the blockchain, game theory, and code. What could possibly go wrong?
In Gavin Wood's view, Web 2.0’s fatal flaw was trust. Everyone had to trust the biggest platforms not to abuse their power as they grew. Few seemed to notice that Google’s famous early motto, “Don’t be evil,” implied that being evil was an option. To Wood, Web3 is about building systems that don’t rely on trusting people, corporations, or governments to make moral choices, but that instead render evil choices impossible. Blockchain is the crucial technology for making that happen. Brewster Kahle, the creator of the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine, has described this goal as “locking the web open.” Or, as Chris Dixon, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto fund and a leading Web3 booster, puts it, “Can’t be evil > don’t be evil.”

原來可以噉理解,don't do sth等於呢件事係一種選項。不過事實又確實,可以壟斷嘅誘惑太大,理想主義者就會開發新嘅技術,噉今次3.0又如何呢?

Crypto’s user-unfriendliness puts tremendous pressure on the whole ecosystem to do the one thing it was designed not to do: centralize. In January, Moxie Marlinspike, a cryptographer and creator of the open source encrypted messaging app Signal, wrote an incisive takedown of Web3’s under­lying premises on his personal blog. In it, Marlinspike argues that because most people crave convenience, centralized services always end up imposing themselves on top of decentralized technologies. In the early days of Web 1.0, some people thought “we’d all have our own web server with our own website, our own mail server for our own email,” he writes. “However—and I don’t think this can be emphasized enough—that is not what people want. People do not want to run their own servers.”

一語中的,技術門檻都係太高,而人有惰性,唔方便嘅嘢好快就會退出好多人嘅腦海入邊。其實就算係1.0,2.0,自己搭一個服務器run網站都係自己掌握數據同資源,但好少人噉做,成本係一小部分原因,更多嘅係技術層面

Whatever else Web3 is, it’s a realm where coders and technologists can reconnect with the joy of hacking, where they can feel good again about working in tech. Jacksón, who in fact builds elaborate board games as a hobby, tells me that escapism is part of Web3’s appeal. The question is whether the escape hatch leads to a real place or a fantasyland.

well,原來背後係有噉嘅願景,係一種未曾試想過嘅力量:為咗更好嘅未來,"the real goal is to use cryptocurrencies to lock human beings into a more cooperative, less self-destructive society"

Web3.0,与中国无关!
元宇宙的核心要素“数字身份”“经济体系”与Web3.0息息相关...

中國就唔使考慮上邊嘅問題了。中國嘅問題係,大家唔敢搞了。其實一直以嚟官方都有搞,比如乜嘢區塊鏈+政務,like唔同部門信息共通嗰啲,但應用點實在太少,而且唔係全國推行,且同商業化無關

而商用嗰啲,基本死直,唔死嘅都要去國外發展。所以而家嘅情況就係,大陸睇上去非常滯後,而香港而家都有好多youtuber搞nft(web3.0中嘅收藏品類)

大陸唔係冇人搞,而係搞咗都唔畀用,講笑,去中心化之後仲點管制?而家仲話可以一間間騰訊、豆瓣、B站去管,如果要管Mastondon、PeerTube?噉就衹能block咗佢了,仲block乜鬼chain


interesting,最近又睇少咗書,收到借書快到期嘅email……死火,我睇咗啲乜嘢,點解仲未睇晒


Inside Zelensky’s World
As casualties mount, two weeks in the presidential compound show how the Ukrainian leader has changed
Outside Ukraine, Zelensky told me, “People see this war on Instagram, on social media. When they get sick of it, they will scroll away.” It’s human nature. Horrors have a way of making us close our eyes. “It’s a lot of blood,” he explains. “It’s a lot of emotion.” Zelensky senses the world’s attention flagging, and it troubles him nearly as much as the Russian bombs. Most nights, when he scans his agenda, his list of tasks has less to do with the war itself than with the way it is perceived. His mission is to make the free world experience this war the way Ukraine does: as a matter of its own survival.

又真係好難持續關注落去,而家嘅我好多時就係望一望就好快睇下條……雖然都有關注,但唔會咁緊張了

By then, Zelensky understood his role in this war. The eyes of his people and much of the world were fixed on him. “You understand that they’re watching,” he says. “You’re a symbol. You need to act the way the head of state must act.”

所以唔理佢之前點樣,就呢一點就已經超過好多嘅政客了。so brave and responsible

Ahead of his nightly address to the nation, Zelensky would set out themes in conversation with his staff. “Very often people ask who is Zelensky’s speechwriter,” says Dasha Zarivna, a communications adviser. “The main one is him,” she says. “He works on every line.”
Through March and early April, Zelensky averaged about one speech per day, addressing venues as diverse as the parliament of South Korea, the World Bank, and the Grammy Awards. Each one was crafted with his audience in mind. When he spoke to the U.S. Congress, he referenced Pearl Harbor and 9/11. The German parliament heard him invoke the history of the Holocaust and the Berlin Wall.

超勁,好幾次演講都十分深刻且感動,真係一個超好嘅演講稿同演講家

In almost every conversation with foreign leaders, Zelensky asks for weapons that could help level the odds. Some countries, like the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands, have agreed to provide them. Others wavered, most critically the Germans. “With the Germans the situation is really difficult,” Zelensky says. “They are acting as though they do not want to lose their relationship with Russia.” Germany relies on Russia for a lot of its natural gas supplies. “It’s their German pragmatism,” says Zelensky. “But it costs us a lot.”

nothing more to say,當聯盟唔夠牢固嘅時候,就會出現噉嘅事情,使到整體效果大打折扣

Perhaps it was lucky for me to meet the President toward the end of a very long day. Nearly two months into the invasion, he had changed. There were new creases in his face, and he no longer searched the room for his advisers when considering an answer to a question. “I’ve gotten older,” he admitted. “I’ve aged from all this wisdom that I never wanted. It’s the wisdom tied to the number of people who have died, and the torture the Russian soldiers perpetrated. That kind of wisdom,” he added, trailing off. “To be honest, I never had the goal of attaining knowledge like that.”
It made me wonder whether he regretted the choice he made three years ago, around the time we first met. His comedy show had been a hit. Standing in his dressing room, he was still glowing from the admiration of the crowd. Friends waited backstage to start the after-party. Fans gathered outside to take a picture with him. This was just three months into his run for the presidency, when it was not too late for Zelensky to turn back.
But he does not regret the choice he made, not even with the hindsight of the war. “Not for a second,” he told me in the presidential compound. He doesn’t know how the war will end, or how history will describe his place in it. In this moment, he only knows Ukraine needs a wartime President. And that is the role he intends to play.

希望戰爭真係可以快啲結束,烏克蘭喺噉嘅不幸之中,只能講有幸選到噉嘅總統


加入北約齊打交:不結盟的「瑞典式國防」大轉向 | 轉角國際 udn Global
烏俄戰爭開打之後,瑞典打破中立國地位,運送武器到烏克蘭之舉,震驚世界。軍事不結盟、中立是瑞典自第一次世界大戰以來的外交傳統,這個立場讓瑞典成功避免了兩次世界大戰,冷戰期間也因此得以避免捲入民主、共產兩大集團的紛爭。瑞典軍事不結盟、中立的外交路線讓瑞典在國際上更有空間與籌碼進行「和平政治」,協助其他國家調解衝突、進行和平談判等工作;在國防上能逐漸減少軍備,也可以置身於世界各國的核武競爭之外。
1940年,當同是中立國的挪威與丹麥兩個鄰國被納粹德國占領、強力反抗的同時,瑞典卻因為中立國的地位,不但沒有加入對抗納粹德國的陣營,反而因為壓力而給納粹德國提供了許多重要幫助,例如出口鐵礦到德國,允許德國軍隊經由瑞典進入挪威等。瑞典對鄰國的救援多限於人道、經濟上,且由民間發起的行動。
瑞典雖然獨善其身,安然度過了兩次大戰,但協助納粹的這個歷史汙點,讓瑞典人一直耿耿於懷。
瑞典人清楚,瑞典的中立地位面對獨裁強權,沒有辦法不做出妥協。

有其歷史嘅原因,今次如果唔改變,可能又要再次妥協,間中幫助壞人

雖然兩國政府高層、政黨,甚至國際社會都不斷強調,每個國家都應該自己做決定,瑞典是否加入北約取決於瑞典人,而非芬蘭的決定。但事實上,大家都心知肚明,若芬蘭決定加入北約,瑞典不加入的機率微乎其微,畢竟若整個波羅的海區域的國家都成為北約會員國,瑞典將單獨成為俄羅斯的攻擊目標。

第二個就係聯動問題,唇亡齒寒,難以獨善其身

同樣支持加入北約的還有中間黨,黨魁樂芙(Annie Lööf)對於瑞典過去幾年的軍事不結盟感到不以為然,她在瑞典電視台《SVT》有關瑞典安全議題的特別節目中說:「我們不是中立的,也不是軍事不結盟。」她認為,瑞典過去幾年來跟北約的合作如此緊密,幾乎跟會員無異,只差「會員卡」。
樂芙的觀點並不驚人。在2019年就有學者曾發表研究,他們認為,瑞典的國防路線並非軍事不結盟,但民眾仍對瑞典的中立地位深信不疑,給了政治人物空間在國際上進行軍事合作。

第三個就係,而家已經有合作,只不過明面上仲講係中立不結盟

可以講,時代開始變化,民主國家嘅聯盟會更加團結同牢固(雖然過程可能會比較耐

How an unknown high school football coach landed in the center of a Supreme Court religious liberty case
The case of Joseph Kennedy, a high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington, could be one of the most consequential cases in recent years testing the separation of church and state.
However the court rules, the legal battle has been worthwhile, Kennedy said. "I tell my guys you need to battle until nothing's left on the clock," he said. "I'd be the biggest hypocrite if I did anything less."

而家就睇最高法院點判,政教分裂究竟邊度先係界呢?

好難講,最後點判就法官嘅事了。我自己覺得呢,噉做唔多合適

一個係佢帶嘅隊員係高中生,未成年,未完全識得點樣甄別資訊。雖然講係自願,但"you are in or not"都係一種潛在嘅壓力

Kennedy係一個好人,呢個應該唔需要多解釋,佢之所以噉做係因為當時猶豫不決係咪要做教練時睇到一部宗教電影而認為係自己嘅神指示佢;如果佢只係比賽結束之後一個人祈禱,呢個係完全冇問題嘅。但有隊員嘅加入而唔阻止,就出問題了

法理上,喺《公民權利及政治權利國際公約》入邊,係保障咗家庭宗教教育嘅權力。學校始終係一個公眾場合,尤其是喺球場上嘅時候

Astronomers reveal first image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy
Astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy. This result provides overwhelming evidence that the object is indeed a black hole and yields valuable clues about the workings of such giants, which are thought to reside at the centre…

現實太過悲慘,尋求太空嘅安慰,黑洞確確實實存在,嚟緊再睇下可唔可以從黑洞入、白洞出先(以前會成日諗埋呢啲嘢哈哈哈,雖然根本冇機會去到黑洞,and未接觸到人都已經冇咗
