棋盤及數學

《棋王》(阿城)描述人在文革時期所處的困境中如何在棋盤上找到精神上的完全自由及自主世界，而數學則讓人一瞥一個完美的精神世界。

science

To share the discussion with my brother.

[12/12 9:21 am] Philip Tang:

for 2000 years there have been interesting pursuits.  in the end, not talking about moral stuff, its science that prevails.  when i say science i mean the global scientific community, not a few scientists.

moral issues aside, i am glad that science has laid a solid foundation in human civilisation.

as i discussed things with portia and bryan, i always led them to science, logic, reality etc.  reality is also important, lest we will be armchair theorizing.

facts are important, i.e. reality.  what chains the facts together in meaningful ways is knowledge and theory.  theory can predict what comes next.  facts alone are bare facts.

there are all sorts of theories, scientific theory, conspiracy theory, yin and yang etc.

what you believe very much shapes your character, present and future.

一地兩檢

problem solving: 可先建一地兩檢的配套設施，暫時兩地兩檢，等有政治互信時才作一地兩檢。

二次創作

奇怪，保障二次創作，比保障原有創作更重要？

禁制令

只要境外已作報導而轉載便不違反禁令是奇怪的看法，正如於境外公開法庭已禁止公開強姦案女受害人的名字一樣，難道在港便可以公開嗎？我的看法是自法庭頒布臨時禁制令之後的報導皆屬違反禁制令。
