This section is intended for trivial amusements and ephemeral thoughts in their unorganized form — think of social media posts without interactions. Please allow for errors and imprudence. Also archived here is a selection of my older posts from Twitter and Weibo, neither of which I remain active on.

seems that my writer’s block these days primarily stems from a cynicism that my urge to express must evidence a failure to process the matter internally

因为 xz 的事去看了 m4 的手册 ……每个自动化软件都应该贴一段这样的防沉迷警告

Once really addicted, users devot[e] more time debugging their m4 scripts than doing real work. Beware that m4 may be dangerous for the health of compulsive programmers.

When strangers share real stories about their lives, maybe one of the least intrusive things to do is not offer advice or platitudes, but to quietly lurk and listen. Even when I have something nice to say, I’d rather not say anything at all.

a privately owned online venue is at best a good samaritan that stubbornly yet rightfully observing their, not your, tribal customs. that they had taken good care of you is not a proof of allegiance and does not warrant your full devotion. that’s the tenet of section 230 and it’s always a surprise to find people believing the contrary.

满分台词

Do you know of the Eightfold Fence [yaegaki]? From the time we are small, it is something we are taught to build within ourselves. An impenetrable wall behind which we can retreat whenever we need. You must train yourself to listen without hearing. For instance, you can listen to the sound of a blossom falling or the rocks growing. If you really listen, your present cirsumstance vanishes. Do not be fooled by our politeness, our bows, our maze of rituals. Beneath it all, we could be a great distance away, safe and alone.

Our performances have both conscious and unconscious aspects. That is, we consciously give information about ourselves to others in order to manage their impression of us, but we also unconsciously give off information that others may pick up on and take into account when deciding how to interact with us.

People imagine who their audience is likely to be, and express themselves accordingly. Obviously these imaginings, which may stem from understanding of the affordances of a particular platform, or a particular community or topic of discussion, impact how people express themselves online.

An actual translation of Anicca is something more like our inability to maintain things as we like. The inverse, Nicca, is our tendency to believe that things could or should be maintained to our satisfaction. The flow of positive and negative experiences are undependable, indefinite in duration, intensity, and frequency. That our hopes of forcing them to be stable with our mind will be in vain. Anatta is pointing to the inverse of a specific mental event, Atta. Anatta is to point out the error in this way of seeing things. The point is to notice the mental event that represents objects or concept as though they could or should be inherently or essentially controllable/ownable. Nicca, Atta, and Sukha (the opposite of Dukkha) are maladaptive strategies. Not only do they not get us what we want but they maintain the conditions that lead us to keep using them.

It is a seductive mistake to say that the pandemic X-rays their souls. What happens in “The Plague” mostly happens through happenstance: strong people die, weak people cope, the average become exceptional. W. H. Auden, writing in yet another candidate for an epochal year, 1939, insisted that we must love one another or die—and then withdrew the remark, recognizing that we are all going to die no matter what we do. He decided that we ought to love one another anyway, or try to, year in and year out.

Literate training encourages a heightened awareness of personal physical boundaries and a sense of those boundaries as the vessel of one's self. To control the boundaries is to possess oneself.

When an individual appreciates that he alone is responsible for the content and coherence of his person, an influx like eros becomes a concrete personal threat.
