反乌托邦文学的想象并不是凭空而来的。实际上,反乌托邦文学中想象的部分,恰恰来源于我们当今的种族主义资本主义现实中。

如果我刻薄一点,我会直接说:历史以来,反乌托邦文学就是把被边缘被歧视被压迫的人的现实生活拿过来,移到有特权的人的身上,写成的“恐怖”小说:

假如所有人都不得不移民流浪到别的的地方,不仅仅是那些第三世界的人...
假如所有人都没有生育自由,连中产白人女性都没有了生育自由...

从正面说,反乌托邦文学让那些想象力缺乏的人至少看到了被压迫的人的生活。从反面来说,被压迫的人的真实生活被虚构成了“科幻小说”,让真实的压迫反而隐身了。

这也就是为什么这本书中我选择了不去设想过度可怕的未来。因为可怕的事情在过去发生过,可怕的事情在现今还在继续发生。

Good mental models are immensely useful and cost effective — once you know them, they get automatically triggered in the right context.

Giving mental models good names takes this even further — it’s now impossible to forget about them. As a side note, once again I thought of this post: https://neilkakkar.com/vocabulary-mental-model.html
An excellent piece on “why RL (Reinforcement Learning) is better than learning from demonstrations (a.k.a supervised learning) for training language models”

> The best frontline eng managers in the world are the ones that are never more than 2-3 years removed from hands-on work, full time down in the trenches. The best individual contributors are the ones who have done time in management. And the best technical leaders in the world are often the ones who do both. Back and forth. Like a pendulum.
Vivid illustration of correlation!= causation 😹
