很高兴打工子弟能有机会改变命运，但看完之后，和之前那篇工厂女孩变身硅谷工程师一样，总感觉少说了一点什么。这些故事是不是那个“我带着10块钱来到美国白手起家”的故事的当代版？

抖音的兴起会给音乐（or文化in general）行业带来变革么？尤其是对目前所有收入都集中在前1%的情况。

一群曾经的素食主义者回归肉食，试图寻找替代性的食物系统。论点仍然是现阶段的食物系统让素食也不那么“自然友好”。但是这怎么看都像是富于中产的另一个风尚，而不是某种真正的解决方案。

太久没去了解艺术机构的工作了，还以为艺术馆的展览门票还是不赚钱的。据说，现在一个成本500万的大展，门票收入可以达到800-1000万，完全成了赚钱的买卖。所以不仅是画廊进入大鱼通吃的时代，艺术机构也是一样了。

Information operations directed at Hong Kong
We are disclosing a significant state-backed information operation focused on the situation in Hong Kong, specifically the protest movement and their calls for political change.
Everything has been explained. There is nothing left to consider. The explanation can no longer be treated as a definition. The question: a description. The answer: not explanation, but a description and knowing how to consider it. Asking or telling: there isn't any difference.
The final elegance: assuming, asking the question. No answers. No explanations. "Why do you demand explanations? If they are given, you will once more be facing a terminus. They cannot get you any further than you are at present." The solution: not an explanation: a description and knowing how to consider it.
Experience a minute. Experience an hour. Can you experience a minute and an hour together, simultaneously, at the same time? This is an important question to ask.
No explanation, no solution, but consideration of the question. "Every proposition proposing a fact must in its complete analysis propose the general character of the universe required for the fact." The description, the proposition: not a definition, but a commission. "Understanding a commission means: knowing what one has got to do."
Any new style, any new life, any new world, is but a god where gods are no longer valid. "The god that one so finds is but a word born of words, and returns to the word. For the reply we make to ourselves is assuredly never anything other than the question itself."
"Our kind of innovation consists not in the answers, but in the true novelty of the questions themselves; in the statement of problems, not in their solutions." What is important is not "to illustrate a truth—or even an interrogation—known in advance, but to bring to the world certain interrogations . . . not yet known as such to themselves."
A total synthesis of all human knowledge will not result in fantastic amounts of data, or in huge libraries filled with books. There's no value any more in amount, in quantity, in explanation. For a total synthesis of human knowledge, use the interrogative. Ask the most subtle sensibilities in the world what questions they are asking themselves.
— from By the Late John Brockman, 1969

最近比较集中的看了一些Art & Tech的东西，深刻地感觉自己的词汇库需要更新升级。那些所谓的“大词”实际上并不是一般词汇的高级替代，而是拥有其自身的语境和所指，其表现力常常要结合特定的理论和历史来体会。虽然，和字典的编纂者一样，我也认为使用基础词汇解释世界是一种美德和必要的思考训练，但那些生僻词汇中所蕴含的引申含义与附加的表现力也确实令人着迷。

这也提醒我们，“概念”总是在某种交互关系中才能被具体地理解。比如，当我们说mucosal immune system，想到的不仅是作为人体免疫第一道防线的粘膜，也有可能是指与以antibodies为核心的免疫观相对的另一种以训练与适应为核心的免疫观。
