Origins of the female image

Filed under: Readings, GGVV

"Discovery of the sexually explicit figurine of a woman, dating to 35,000 years ago, provides striking evidence of the symbolic explosion that occurred in the earliest populations of Homo sapiens in Europe." (Nature,2009,176)

最早的符号艺术在德国被发现了。。。人类看来已经到了老年了,因为现代艺术已经呈现出这样的趋势:返老还童。。。

Freedom is an illusion

Filed under: Neuroscience, Readings

"Our brain makes decisions up to seven seconds before we become aware of them — along with the philosophical principle that any action must be dependent on preceding causes, imply that our behaviour is never self-generated and that freedom is an illusion." (Martin Heisenberg, Nature, 2009, 459,164; Soon, CS. Nature Neurosci. 2008, 543)

自由意志看来是不存在的,我们的行为是随机经验决定的。。。而随机经验是个体与周围环境相互作用的结果,我要去看电影这个个体行为可能是受媒体,朋友等信息刺激的结果。群体无意识也证明了这一点;至于怀疑,思考等行为也是一种先验。有人多疑,有人易信,这不过是大脑随机活动的结果,人类像自然万物一样,从来没有过自由意志。。。这样我们跟动物就没什么明确的界限了。。。

"在这个人性复苏的时代,在每一个城市和社区,在每一个县城和乡村,已经成长起来很多热心公益具有道德威望的公民,他们是小区业委会的成员,是维护集体土地 权益的村民代表,是价格听证会上公众代言人,是敢说真话的知识分子,是慈善事业的带头人,是坚守良心和正义的法官,是真诚服务公众的公务员,他们代表公 益,代表社会良心,代表公民社会健康的力量,代表我们民族未来的希望。"(许志永博客

Lucky shit

Filed under: GGVV

下午在MIT等车的时候,一道白光闪过,我绿油油的袖子上居然落上了一掊稀粪,是鸟粪。。。我赶快捡起地上的报纸擦了下去,暗自庆幸没有落到头上。。。回头想是不是它喜欢我的绿衣服呢?苇薇说这是好运气的先兆,我又想落在头上可能运气更好呢?这可是有生以来头一次啊!盼望着。。。
