柏楊先生好好走
在天之靈別發抖
要中國人不醜陋
…千萬年後

每個去投票的人都有他自己的理由,不管是為了理想,為了未來,為了錢財,為了經濟,為了支持所愛,為了反對所恨。
但是,實際上你的一票有什麼屁用呢?統計上來說,個人的一票是完全不會造成任何影響的,即使兩邊結果出來票數相等也是一樣:因為投票跟唱票計算程序的問題,總是有少些誤差,你這一票絕對是在誤差之內!
就算你呼朋引伴買通鄰居一起去投你所愛,也是一樣。就跟你花一萬塊買樂透一樣,沒影響就是沒影響。
對於這種論調,總會有人反駁道:「如果每個人都像你這樣想,就沒人投票了(會輸了)!」重點是,絕對不會每個人都這樣想。絕對。不會。再怎麼冷漠的民主社會,一定還是會有足夠狂熱/有責任心的人去投票。這跟你跳樓一定往下掉是一樣的道理,是宇宙鐵則。
那投票的意義是什麼?讓自己為社會國家盡一份應盡的義務與責任?
你當然可以這樣想,不過請先讓我去廁所吐一下。
選舉這種東西,結果完完全全是由大數法則來決定的,就好像兩隻大怪獸在比大條。而一個小民去投票的意義是什麼?其實最終目的,最深層的心理,也不過是讓自己心裡知道:當結果出來時,自己是屬於哪隻怪獸?
最終,還是投給自己爽。除此無他。

我的回覆越寫越多,就乾脆多開一篇文章。
要先多謝您花那麼多時間留那麼長的言。(這不是嘲諷,是真的多謝。)
如果您請仔細閱讀一下我所寫的(特別是「警訊」系列文章之開宗明義),您應該會發現我並不是只有在批評中國人。不過,可能我自己也犯了語言不精確的毛病,有時我說「中國人」並不是指國籍(不過有時候是)。沒辦法,牽扯到文化時這本來就是個模糊地帶。
文章中也提到國家生存的問題,「被侵略統一」其實好不好本來就很難說,「分裂」成數個小國家好不好也很難說。我個人的國家觀念算是很薄弱的, ……(繼續閱讀)

“Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can’t help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity—by the universe itself.”

“But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they are played; our peaceful acres however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.”

若い僕には夢がある
いつかきっと いつかきっと
わかってくれるだろう

Paradise, to you our minds we will unfold:
Days and nights, when Serenity doth behold
Her silver visage in the watery glass,
Reflecting with liquid swirl in elegant class,
A time that lovers’ embrace doth still conceal,
Through The Racha’s gates have we devis’d to steal.

Silence, silence, every where,
But all the lines were clear;
Silence, silence, every where
Not a soul to hear.
The very street did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should fare!
Yea, slimy things did wriggle with wings
Through the slimy air.
About, about, in reel and rout
The death-rays cast at night;
The silence, like a machine’s eyes,
Shone green, and red and white.
"The Road To Reality": A complete guide to the laws of the universe by Roger PenroseAlthough this hefty tome looks suspiciously like a textbook, complete with hundreds of diagrams and pages full of mathematical notation, one discovers that the book is something entirely different and far more remarkable. Penrose spends the first third of his book walking us through a seminar in high-level mathematics, but only so he can explore the beautiful and elegant connection between mathematics and the physical world by presenting modern physics on its own terms without resorting to analogies or simplifications, transcending the constraints of the popular science genre with a unique combination of respect for the complexity of the material and respect for the abilities of his readers.
"虚数の情緒": 中学生からの全方位独学法 by 吉田 武「本書は人類文化の全体的把握を目指した科目分野に拘らない"独習書"である」。本書を一言で言い表すとしたらこれに尽きる。題名からすると、中学生以上に向けた数学解説書のように思われるが、実際はそんな生半可な本ではない。本書は「虚数」の概念を軸として人類文化全体を鳥瞰した、実に1000ページを超える大著である。いままで西洋人によって書かれた類書はいくつかあり、それらに触れるたびに西洋文化の重厚さに圧倒される思いをしてきた。本書はその西洋文化の華々しい成果を扱っているわけだが、根底に流れる思想からは強く日本文化の香りがする。その理由は著者が対象について深く理解し血肉とし、それを改めて自らの言葉で述べているからである。
