  • 是日:東京滅絕大地震日

    昨晚與台灣朋友聊天時,終於第一次近距離接觸到最近偶爾都會聽見關於在日本地區將會發生的滅絕式大地震的預言。 朋友向我匯報近況,說一切都好,唯一就是「7/5」令她感到「有點」不安。我那一刻完全不知道什麼是7/5,也沒有嘗試去理解什麼是「7/5」。然後出於禮貌,我隨便回了一句「7/5?」,之後就去睡覺了。 今早醒來拉屎、翻手機,看見她回覆了我的問題,轉發了一條關於金城保和竜樹諒的各種關於世界浩劫的預言的link。於是這條link就正式把最近轉得火紅火綠的滅絕預言塞到我的awareness。更有意思的就是其中一個大事件,就是會在今天7小時後發生: 哇。好啊。我覺得自己很幸福。我明白,說這樣的話,會令人覺得我在幸災樂禍,顯得我很刻薄。但這真的是我很真實的感受啊。我覺得幸福,是因為最近情緒「經期」又到了,令我心情稍微低迷。跟此朋友這段關於世界浩劫的幾個messages,把我從腐爛的languishing中拉出來了。陰沉無聊想死的烏雲,竟然被更陰沉更充滿死亡的濃霧打散了。我覺得很幸福,因為一件如此無聊的破事,救了我。 所以我覺得很值得紀錄一下這些無聊的事情,一方面可以用此post來對這些預言的一個非常合時宜的紀錄和印證,另一方面此post可以用來提醒未來的自己,任何的情緒低迷,總會被一些最意想不到的瑣事,如同小朋友輕輕吹散蒲公英般,悄然消散。 要提醒自己,以後當自己又一次沈淪在低迷情緒的淤泥時,不要著急,不要放棄,雖然會確確實實地覺得徹底地無助、徹底地絕望,但一定要記得,總是會過去的。是會過去的。

  • How DeepSeek Thinks And Censors

    Everyone is talking about Deepseek, an AI model from China. I tried it, and boy, was it interesting. A bit about Deepseek: It is free and it has been benchmarked to rival ChatGPT. It manages to achieve all these with far less energy and far fewer high-end chips. It is a huge achievement and many…

  • Don’t Ever Skip “People I (Mostly) Admire”

    I love his show, “People I (Mostly) Admire,” and I keep forgetting that I should never skip an episode. For example, this latest interview with Pete Docter, Chief Creative Director of Pixar and the Academy Award-winning director of Soul, Inside Out, Up, and Monsters, Inc., was great, but I almost skipped it. The title of the episode, “What If…

  • Election 2024

    I never thought this was possible, but it happened. I also thought, along many others, that Trump was done when he lost to Biden in 2020. But he’s made a historic comeback and completely destroyed his competition, Kamala Harris. Along the way, many crazy things happened and I ought to record those that shook me:…

  • The Joy of Modern-Day Reading

    I’m currently reading two books: Nexus by Harari and Meditation For Mortals by Burkeman. I’m enjoying both. They help me figure out how to live my life. I first came across Harari not because of his book Sapiens but because Harari was a serious meditation practitioner. And when I learned about his book, I didn’t…

  • New Website

    Last time I updated this was 2020. I just want it to be simpler. I just want to enjoy looking at it. Don’t really care how others find it. So I removed the search bar. Removed the archive and word cloud. All that’s left is the posts. I will update this again in 2028.
