从《黑客帝国》看自由意志 – Notes Against Certainty
红药丸真的意味着自由吗？ 在最表层，《黑客帝国》是一个关于觉醒的故事。 Neo 原本生活在 Matrix 之中，以为自己是 Thomas Anderson，一个在现代城市里日复一日生活的普通打工人。直到 Morpheus 给了他一个选择：蓝药丸，回到原来的生活；红药丸，看见真相。 蓝药丸代表幻觉...| Notes Against Certainty

There's no such thing as Just a Tool | deadSimpleTech
Heidegger thinks about tools like so: a tool is something (a thing that has being in the Heideggerian sense, not necessarily an object) that represents an extension of human capabilities in some way. A tool is thus any kind of thing that *lets you do something you wouldn't otherwise have been able to*. The important (for us) conceptual leap here is that when a tool works well, or isn't broken, it develops what Heidegger describes as a "ready-to-hand" quality: the tool fades into the backgroun...| deadSimpleTech

我讨厌红点
不知道从什么时候开始，各种应用的用户界面都出现了红点这个东西。有红点的地方，通常是内容有更新，鼓励用户点进去。点进去再出来，红点自动消失。短信如此，微信如此，这种用户界面元素已经普及到生活中方方面面的应用，我想大家都已经熟悉并不假思索地去点有红点的地方了吧。我不否认它合理有效，但今天我偏要挑一挑它的毛病。| 一言堂

Dido 和 Aeneas 的故事
Aeneid 是古罗马文学家 Virgil 创作的史诗，是荷马史诗的续集，是罗马帝国立国的典籍，是经典拉丁文学的巅峰之作。这篇史诗中最被人津津乐道的就是迦太基女王 Dido 和史诗主人公，罗马先祖 Aeneas 的爱恨情仇。这段经典故事两千年来在无数绘画，雕塑，歌剧，小说重现，人们无不感慨命运对一双璧人的不公。且让我们看看这个故事背后还有什么值得挖掘的。| 一言堂
Demolition：我们为什么用悲伤证明爱 – Notes Against Certainty
Jake Gyllenhaal 演的《Demolition》在我的电影清单上躺了很久。今天终于看了。一直对这部电影很好奇，是因为主人公身上表现出的情感解离，和我自己身上的某种麻木似乎有点像。 电影里，Davis 是在妻子突然离世之后，才诚实地意识到自己的麻木。现实中，我意识到自己的麻木是在 2018 年 5...| Notes Against Certainty
