依然是非常重要的話—我生存不可沒有你

前天買了花,然後送花,誰不知香港的中學到今天依然是用隔離的方法去「對付外人」,似乎任何 中學都承繼了中國的內外有別文化。外面=壞,內面=好,以同一年齡來算比我還聰明的人,怎麼會選了如此的一間「介備深嚴」的中學來讀?在互聯網無孔不入的 時代,基督教去管教「學生」的方法,依然是走不出舊式保守思想的死胡同。或者真的該問一問校長,我送花給一名中七的女生如何可以在消費感情的時代背景下如 何腐敗其他學生?他的心理學理據在哪兒,有什麼研究支持?有沒有想到如此銷國式管治對中學生的壞影響?在外國,朋友之間也可以送花,收花不一定要在床上 見,如此的思維邏緝,到底我是在太平天國還是香港?
結果今天我買的是玫瑰花,和前天買的花躺在我家,和我的一樣等死。當然是等死,沒有希望的人生,在沒有未來的都市,由沒有未來的國家統治,這是任何頭腦清 醒的人都可以想到的。我的性格不是妥協型,不過據說學校再發現我的話會記你的缺點。我會以為,愛到迷頭迷腦的時侯,還理如此荒謬的操行來乾什麼?你不是真 的以為以品學兼優,升上大學會有前途?你不是沒有修經濟的,知不知道供求定律?再者,你為了小小的操行而不理制度背後的合理性,你又如何稱自己為無神論 者?不再想了,否則我又打算變掛放棄你。
我想我不可以天天以如此的方式去想念你,因為如此一來,我不單生活有問題,快要連生存都有問題,收不到你的回應,飯不下嚥,吃不甘味。可能戀愛是保持身裁 苗條的一好方法,昨天吃不下,前天又吃不下,今天連煮都免了。我是如此情緒化的人,今天的工作量是零,寫給你的信是例外。我慢慢明白為什麼你是如此喜歡 「和稀泥」愛情,既不甜也不苦,最重要是可以學業如常,生活如常,一切沉悶、無聊、反智如常;因為你怕受傷害,你不會想知道什麼是最好的食物都沒有味道, 甚至連餓飽都忘了的感覺。但沒有極悲,又如何有極樂呢?人要經歷極悲、極樂才可以算是完整的人,才可以成長,有我在你身旁,集我們兩位天才之力有什麼事是 撐不來?如果你怕極悲、極樂,則你一生最好都不要談戀愛,你的冒險精神又去哪兒呢?你是對自己沒有信心,還是對我沒有信心?
我的真心話,愛上你而又得你的心令我很痛苦,但比起沒有愛情,不知方向的空虛,還是可以接受。還是老一句,你愛我一分,我愛你十分,你對我忠心,我比你更 忠心,你背叛我,我必以千部來報複。我不怕發動一場世界大戰來得到你,就算是核子彈把我炸到灰飛煙消,我的心沒有一刻會離開你。世上只有你最配我,亦只有 我最配你。
還再想什麼: 有花須折直須折,莫待無花無折技!

在你中迷失,再在你中找回自己的人

The feeling I had when I shake your hand

Shall I call you the dearest person whom I want to give the prefix Ms. C,

The day before yesterday I am standing outside the school you studied, eager to give you flower which I never gave any female before. I have already evaluated all possible consequence, include which you would outright reject me and throw the flower in the rubbish bin, then surely it is an relieve to me for this seeming non-reproached ‘love affair’ for 10 months. 10 months, what kind of man am I that can endure 10 months of your indifference toward me, and what is the motivation that propel me for that long period of time?

Now, it would be very old-fashion to said that is because of your unusual beauty, extraordinary intelligence, vast knowledge in Philosophy and Psychology, and Devil’s body that could drive any man crazy. Although in Psychology of Love, one or any combinations of above four factor could made any man infatuate with you so much he delude himself that you are the one, while at the same time deny the logic to be applied to other attractive females. However, none of above applied to me in this case, which is why I am writing this to you.  In terms of my ‘Choice Theory of Love’, I think choice of love object merely as a conscious decision later with many unconscious attempts for justification. Forgive my poor expressive power, what I embedded in the theory is that it only describe the love process between layman and laywoman, that is to be distinguish from my idea of True Love.

For me, it is necessary for the True Love to have the quality of uniqueness and exclusiveness that can not be established/defended by logic, which is a feeling only hearts with organismic trust can comprehend. That is the shocking feeling I have when I shake your hand, which can never be explain by logic, reason, neurology of sexual arousal and psychoanalysis. I am a mature enough man to distinguish between the feeling of sexual arousal, excitement and infatuation; yet that is a feeling that is simply indescribable by any means of words. It satisfy the uniqueness and exclusiveness criteria that you as my ‘a prior’. I dated several times before, but however intimate we got, it is never as so strong, intense and shocking as the feeling of shaking your to me. To me, it is like the feeling of ‘Being one with Universe’, ‘Atonement’ or the peak of male orgasm; which the only comparable experience I had before is when I meditate in 16 which resulted in my ‘End of the World’ prophecy. It is the second time in my life, I thereby immediately know for certain that you are my Princess Right.

What a shame on me to wait until this day to reveal that to you. Right at the moment I am in contact with your hand and look you in the eye, I literally shocked out of my conscious. If memory serves you, you must remember that dazing look on my face, silence and my unusually inarticulate speech to you. I call tell you never in my life my tongue is so tangled like that in front of a female, whether that person is my girlfriend or not. That is very unnatural to me. I dig into myself hard for reasons which I can never found, none of the physiological or neurological or psychological reaction from me that can happen just like lightening. Remember I never have any idea of who you are before, it is simply impossible for me to rationalize what happen.

All I could remember is, at the exact moment that happen. It is like a lightening strike into my mind. I could only remember images, visions and thoughts rushing into my unconscious mind like tremble. It is literally so much that my conscious mind can not handle and shut itself off. So I get the vague sense that I am in a dream-like state, and see the world like it was through glass, and I literally lost my soul. The sense of time is completely distorted, there appears to be two parallel time sequences going on: One in line with the physical time, another is running at extremely slow. My conscious is blurred, is that what people call Transcendence or Oneness with Universal Mind?

Then it just getting curiously strange, as soon as I try to recollect the whole experience I forgot them all, it is like my unconscious mind is actively blocking me from analyze any of it. Imagine my state of puzzlement in whole day, so I am distracted from the slogan of demonstration and all that, I simply can’t take my mind of that feeling even until now. From the limited evidences I collected, my conclusion is that my unconscious somehow ‘recognize’ you and take immediate action to shadow my memory of it. So later I even have difficulties in recognizing your face. My unconscious mind later repress this memory and downplay its importance to me on my relationship with you. So, forgive me, there was a moment in time I think astrology, numerology, Chinese astrology is the just the trick to get me to be in bed with you. I don’t know what really behind my unceasing effort of writing over 200 emails to you in a month before you reject me, with the later emails which contain more than thirty thousand Chinese character, which is 90% of all Chinese I ever written. It consume me over 200 hours of effort and countless lost of sleep. I am really amaze that the level of self-deception that my mind can afford.

Likewise, I think it is illogical that you don’t share at least a bit of my feeling when we shake hands. So your rejection of me after 1 month become the target of my wrath, since I think your unconscious is also playing tricks on you. You may just suppress this raw, primitive and feeling from the deepest recess of your mind like me, or you are so much fond of playing psychological games with other that you get lost in your own mind. When I look at the photos in your blog, I immediately get the sense of you being ‘Lost, Lack of Direction in Life’. Let me be the one who save your soul, who give your new direction and meaning in life, who make your life a walk in the heaven.

I never said such thing to any other female and I will never do so in the future. That is my promise and my swear. I recognize from the earliest day that we are two of a kind, just that you love the feeling of being lost in love affairs. You intentionally or unconsciously deny yourself the distinction between sexual arousal, psychological effect elicited by well organized situation and symbolism; and the Reckoning of Soul. My soul am deeply hurt by your careless words, and live only by the Hopes steaming from the Love of you. Please let our soul joined together in everlasting union.

My confidence in you that it is not as unsubstantiated as my hope for your love, because I belief once we joined hands, you simply can’t deny the feeling come directly from your soul. So you can never resist me. Our union would mean the completion of the sequence of destruction of this sick old world, and the forces from our bond can build the Heaven on Earth for all human being. All that begin with meeting of you in 7.1. demonstration, and end with your wise decision to join me. Do you want to bet on this? You got nothing to lost, I am willing to bet my whole life and everything on you. Would you like to find out the validity of my hypothesis?

I feel sad for you when you habitually trivialize the great phenomena of love as a merely a combination of the four factors in psychology, or a delusion afforded by our DNA for the sake of propagation of human animal through neurological mechanism. Thus you are self-deceiving and comprise your intellectual integrity by giving the uniqueness and exclusiveness to where it’s not due. Deep in your mind, you recognize every male that you are interested are similar to other males working hard to impress you, you just deny yourself this knowledge. I am the solution to this dilemma you created. Love base itself not in logic and rationality but gut feeling. Can you still feel your heart? Can you remember all of your feeling toward me right at the moment we meet?

In strict accordance to my own principles, I never said the same word twice. You can keep this in anyway, anywhere in any form you desired. This is the written proof of love from me, and I waive all my right to any change of terms.

The one whom lost his soul for you,
then waiting for you to give him back
Someone who love to call your soulmate

非常重要的說話—握你手的感覺

(想不到最近連情信都寫錯!)

前天除了想送花給你,算是一種了斷,如果你當時當面拒絕我,我會傷心但會如釋重擔,10個月的擔子真的很痛。我想告訴您,是什麼原因可以撐我達十個月之久,想喜歡心理學一定有興趣知。

不是最老土的你有什麼不平凡的長相、過人的聰明、相當豐厚的心理學知識,又或者身材令人想入非非。一切單獨條件和組合對一般人都可以是十足的理由,就算他們對另一位異位有同樣的感覺,都會當前一位的感覺是唯一的。這是我提及的愛情決擇理論,意識事後為事前的決定找過漂亮的理由。我的用意是說,這只是凡夫俗子的愛情,沒有什麼深奧的唯一性及大智慧在內。你給我的是一剎那觸電的感覺,一種我在與異性握手以致拖手時都未曾有過的感覺,對我來說是非常非常的震撼,說出來真羞家,我的潛意識一直壓抑了「我被這種感覺所迷」的全部記憶,我真的以為是紫微斗數的論據、星座、時辰八字、數字學、姓名學以致心理分析可以證明我們是天生一對。但我一直忘記了,這些只可以在事後證明是否合拍,將來的發展會如何,但沒有一個以至全部可以提供一個先驗的理由,提供不可以用邏緝分析推出來或排斥的唯一性。有一段時間,我也以為你只是我衆多的心理遊戲對象之一,我以為自己和一般凡夫俗子一樣,都是利用這些客觀的數字來堆磡和你上床的理由。沒讀心理學的人不會明白我在說什麼,一來是遺忘,二來更高超的手段是使我不覺這段經歷當成平凡的事。

如此平凡的事,如此震撼的感覺,只發生了兩次,上一次是在我打座時看到的「世界未日」預言期間。如果你有一點印象,你會留意到我在握你手前後的反應是相當呆滯,而口齒亦相當不流利。我當時亦很納悶,就算是即時對你有好感,因而產生怕羞的感覺,亦沒有可能有這樣的快,和如此的入心入肺。我當時只覺得好像是打開了某一扇的心門,有大量不同的影像和思想湧進來,一時間我的意識完全不懂如何處理,而我又有仿如身在夢中的感覺,有點像三魂唔見了七魄,最奇怪的是時間有一點被歪曲了的感覺,忽然有兩種時間並行,一種快一種慢,一方面看到外面的世界好像有點模糊及不清楚,另一方面又是正常的意識。如果你有再留意一下我,你會發覺我似乎一直在發呆,因為我想捕捉這一閃即逝,非常模糊但奇怪的感覺,有點像transcendence 或 oneness with the universe,難聽一點是性愛最高峰的感覺(但在生理上不覺有任何性興奮,亦不可能如此的快)。奇怪的事,就只是和你握完手剎那間,我又似乎完全遺忘了這種感覺,我記性不至於是如此的差,居然不到十秒鐘便忘記之前的感覺?

這種感覺,不單是和其他異性握手時沒有,就是拍拖時手拖手亦沒有,我的潛意識因此認定你一定就是具唯一性的這個人,而意識後來做的事,其實是為潛意識的動機找籍口。我亦因此認定,你在收了我一個月共二百多封電郵後再拒絕我是你有心隱瞞事實,是你有心逃避自己最心底、最原始、最真實的感覺。不可能我感受到震撼,而你竟然一點反應都沒有,你欺騙自己同時在嚴重傷害我,我不知你又和自己在玩什麼心理遊戲,最後受傷的一定是你自己。如果不是這種感覺,世上再沒有人可以令我寫二百多封電郵共三萬多字,用了二百小時以上,然後被你拒絕後不知再寫了幾多封,我想寫給你的中文字(別忘記我打中文是很慢的)是我的一生人的90%,竭而不捨地寫了八個月?如此的投入全因這種「失億」感覺令我100%認定,我們的緣份是天註定,再不會有任何的人可以如此的震撼我的靈魂。

我從來未曾和任何異性說過雷同的話,一字一句,直接出自真心。我以為你有和我同質的靈魂,只是你太沉迷於愛情的迷失感覺中,分不清什麼是由性興奮帶來的快感、什麼是用文字、場景刻意經營的心理效果、什麼是由靈魂深處發出的震撼。我的靈魂,曾經受創傷,但仍健在,它以愛和希望來生存。我見過沒有靈魂的人,但我當我看到你的相,你只是迷失,你的靈魂尚在掙扎求存,請讓我來和你一生一世共同分享,這種和宇宙合一的奇妙感覺!

我是如此的有信心,因為的直覺肯定我們雙手一握,你將無法抗拒這種來自靈魂深處的震撼,我們的結合將代表舊世界的全面崩潰,世界為我們預備了一個最美麗的將來;這一切,由握你手的一刻開始,由你的決定作結。我可以放膽賭一舖,我可以把身家、性命、財產、靈魂全放在一個單是握手就可以為我帶來天人合一感覺的人;你夠不夠膽?你是否對任何一位異性,有如此大的信心?亦或你把戀愛平凡化了,位位都是相差無幾?位位都是你事後創造出來的感覺來欺騙自己?你的愛情觀裏,沒有前世註定,沒有來世,什麼都是腦神經為繁殖下一代而做出來的幻影?

我這一世不會再說同樣的話兩次!你可以留下來,公諸於世,以任何方式保存,是為千秋萬世的明證,決不變心。我的路走完了,而且決不走回頭路,只要你肯和我一同走的話。

當你無法去分真假時,用你的直覺,忘記你的理性和邏緝吧!

此致
因你而迷失,再因你而找回自我的人

轉載:無線奧運奇聞一則

(轉載自: http://atheistdemo.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/%e7%84%a1%e7%b7%9a%e5%a5%a7%e9%81%8b%e5%a5%87%e8%81%9e%e4%b8%80%e5%89%87/)

本來想用旅行去避運,誰知要來的始終要來,因為同行的團友要看北京奧運,因此早上被逼看了游泳比賽的片段,似乎是無線電視的記者在訪問一個剛得獎的美國游 泳比賽選手,幸好我曾在外國留學,懂得聽英語,否則就讓無線記者曲解了得獎的美國游泳比賽選手原意,讓觀衆們以為全世界都是民族主義狂熱,採訪的人似乎忘 了美國不是民族國家,何來民族主義?
她的問題大約是你贏出了比賽心情如何、你為什麼會喜歡遊水等等;他的答案除了理所當然的高興以外,還有他自少便十分享受與朋友(即現在的隊友)一同遊水, 而以往在習訓遊泳時,彼此的「Team Spirit」最難忘。「Team Spirit」即香港最近常常提倡的團隊精神,但是在無線女記者的毫不專業即時傳譯口中,卻成了「最重要的是要保持美國隊的團結、領先及美國是世界第一遊 泳大國的地位」。前面一句可以勉強算得過去,但後面一句「保持美國是世界第一遊泳大國的地位」根本是無中生有,把自己的狂熱民族主義幼稚病,強加到不相干 的人上面,強姦他人的意思。
任何有點美國文化常識的人,都知道美國本身是世界亦一不是以民族主義立國的國家,美國是由移民組成,何來美國民族?另外,美國文化主要是提倡個人的成就, 獨立自主(individualism)是美國精神,因此孩子五、六歲便有自己的房間,由自己管理,甚至搭飛機穿洲過省,大學時代更明正言順離家生活。每 個國民都是被教育成注重的自己的權利,而且個人權利和自己利益是一生人中最主要的事,我在留學時完全看不到任何愛國主義的教育。而所謂大美國沙民主義,通 常是由傳媒和其他人生活中習染而來,因為電子傳媒上的消息,九成是美國本土的消息,不少人對世界其他國家所知極少。所以即使是美國隊勝出以後趾氣高揚,也 只會說些:「美國威、美國醒、美國無得頂」的說話,卻不會像香港某些政客一樣,吃、拉、穿、睡,無時無刻不想着「黨和國家的恩情無法完」,美國隊勝出,想 到的只是美國國家應該要如何去感謝他們為國家出力,爭回一點面子,卻一萬份之一萬不會去想「黨和國家的恩情無法完」,自己應該要如何去感謝國家的訓練;再 者,美國是民主國家,他該感謝美國民主黨還是共和黨呢?民主國家是每選舉一次變一次,應該要如何去感謝他們為國家出力,可以感謝的國家有什麼固定不變的內 涵呢?因此,美國隊應該要如何去感謝他們為「國家」出力,如何會說出只有中共國國家隊會說出的話呢?
這是有香港特色的思維中共化的一種表徵,明明體育不應牽涉政治,但是無線女記者一句的「保持美國是世界第一遊泳大國的地位」,把北京奧運的狐狸尾巴露了出來!

以心理史觀來看香港和中國未來的發展

現實是在中共的勢力日益上升,香港自由的空間愈來愈小是心理史觀上的必然,由1997到2007是中共錯估了形勢,又或者未夠時間去介入(和拉攏台灣有關?),然後就是全面介入及全面控制,這是它對台灣、香港及國內公民社會發展的回應,它首先肯定它自己一定是遊戲的一部份,然後理所當然要佔優,理所當然地用它的雄厚資源來做後盾。雄厚資源來自專政政治下人民的一切都是國家的資產,可隨意使用;資本主義下人民的反抗力量強一點(私產權),會懂得反抗一點,但政府要挪用永遠不會無辦法。人的天性,誰不想隨心所欲,不過一個後者有明文禁止,而中共為了統治方便而不明文禁止,如此而已。因為專政政治的內部規則,所以介入最後的結果一定是自由空間的壓縮,別忘記中共還有文化上的龐大影響力,任何人或物,不可否認的是只要生存便一定有影響力。

好了,在去政治化的社會,反而是泛政治化,一般人都沒有不參與的權利,不少香港中產階級及年輕人都在發夢,以為中共的勢力不會理他們,然而看看中共的三反五反、文化大革命,你以為這些平民人人都想搞政治麼?在專制下他們為了生存不得不如此而已,你以為他們真的很想搞鬥爭麼?好了,在香港,看看北京奧運中社會一點異議都不容、看看明報歪曲事實來支持中共的李柱銘(詳看林夕網誌)是漢奸說、看看以前的愛國論事件、看看每一次選舉中共如何或明或暗的干預、看看電視中一個個以時人時事為嘲笑的節目都消失、看看港台的前途堪虞、看看ICAC對處理黃玉郎的放慢板、看看陶傑的「斑馬天下」如何一點點被化約成一個旅遊節目、尤其是看看主播天下的西藏特緝!專制容不下任何異議的聲音,每年的六四、七一,中共都相當反感,派人來拍攝參與者的樣貌,你可知它心裏想的是什麼呢?

香港的知識份子要生存不可以冷膜,對抗中共及香港的代言人是生存的唯一出路。你看看陳冠希事件後香港政府的反應是什麼?是想盡辦法保證下次同類事件不再「出亂子」,下次奇拿未出手已經被西方國家以傷害他們在中國的利益為由而被拉,專制的統治不容有意外,這是中共的唯物觀,逆天而行是也!任何自由性格的人,其實都需要反抗中共,而如果他/她是中產,而且聰明、有知識、有創意、有點個人魅力,在互聯網時代下,破壞能力就驚人,他們是中共在香港的心腹大患,它不怕泛民主派因為泛民有完整的理念,行為可以預計,亦一早有對策。以它的本性及心理狀態,最怕的應年輕有知識、甚至有一點個人魅力的自由人如林夕,因他們隨時可以弄一個福佳出來,令香港政府及中共難堪。幽默、創意天生是專制的敵人(你看看「十六不搭喜趣來」的下場),97以前反智是因為殖民地統治需要,如今中共的本質,只是另一個宗主國,當然要反智。要是香港不反智, 天天出一個長毛,香港政府如何以最低的社會成本來統治?

看到電視節目中以時人時事的笑話節目愈來愈少,就是中共專制的陰影已經在香港生根的明證。它要如何控制我們,參看它如何接官西藏,它一定不會直接打壓自由主義者,因為要顧及國際形像,而且易激起反彈;它一定是由資本主義社會的劣恨性開始,一步步腐蝕它不喜歡的人的生存空間,如果可以的話,最好把「疑似異議人仕」一個個以各種名義「放遂」出國。香港自97以後自由不停向後倒退是事實(有數據證明),但因為政治制度被逼向更民主方向發展,結果香港社會的內秏一天比一天嚴重,投訴聖經事件正是其中一例,所以有人以為香港終會有暴動一天(約二年),因為世界自由化,中共反自由,香港夾在中間,文化衝突最烈。香港社會的核心問題在北京,提倡香港獨立者比其他人更需要想辦法反抗中共對香港的統治!

發生大衝突後,如果沒有特殊的外因,根本改變不了香港/中共國的政治生態,結果會如何?秋後算賬是也,中共可以用政治上的權力(代價較高),可以用經濟實力(如果他工作的公司在中共國有生意的話),可以用唯命是從的傳媒來殺人不用刀,可以用發自真心的暴民/憤青(代價最低),香港的知識份子頭腦要清醒一點,因為中國的前途在於你們肯站起來反抗。

如果不作有系統反抗,中國香港遲早一同船毀人亡!
(陳巧文小姐,你看到了沒有?今次香港的網民可以壓得住糞青的「姦殺令」,但再多5年後又如何?在中共國內又如何?如果你真心的想改變中國,還不快快留言加入我們!我不會公開任何有志之仕的資料的!)

道家思想和心理學的異同

我在「視而不見和心理學」及「視而不見和心理分析學」中提及心理學的一些邏緝和道家哲學相同的地方,用意是道家哲學可以用邏緝來推出一些通用於心理學、物理學、化學及生物學的事實,然而,道家思想和心理學不是無相異的地方。他們相異的地方,正是在「心理分析學和行為主義(II)」一文中提及的心理分析學和行為主義相同的地方,因為兩學派都以為人的由其歷史決定其行為/思想,但過去的影響可以透過方法去消除/改變,理論上還可以還原到原始狀態,再一次經由不同的歷史產生另一套行為/思想。然而按我所理解的道家思想,「返樸歸真」是代表人可以減低的影響,卻不代表人的過去可以用任何方式去清洗,正如學功夫一定是先學招式,再漸漸忘記其招式,卻不可以在一開始時立刻教授最高階的「無招勝有招」;但心理分析學派及行為主義學派都認為,人是有無限還原的能力的。到底矛盾在哪裏?

Comparing Afghanistan and Iraqi

Comparing Afghanistan and Iraqi is, in a sense, like comparing oranges and apples. Although they are both Muslims country, it is too much a simplification that American generals done in orchestrating the overthrow of their governments and the transition to civilian ruling. In the eye of American, they are both ruled by ruthless dictators, however, the subtle difference lies in the form of dictatorship it is taking. Also in the eye of American, their people enjoy little freedom as those in other Muslims country, but the subtleties lies in what way their people are deprived of their freedom, as well as the altitudes of governed toward their native government. These subtle difference resulted in great difference in the consequences.
In Iraqi, as much as American like to imagine, it is one of the few secular countries(other include Turkey and Iran) among its Muslims neighbor. Thus, in a sense, the Iraqi citizen are enjoying unprecedented freedom compare to those of their neighbor. Is that more likely Iraqi citizen compare themselves to other neighbor or to America? It appears to me that American has a habit of taking everything from USA as granted without putting it into historical context, and assuming the whole world think like USA citizen. Moreover, it maybe that the freedom could be exercised by Iraqi citizen is far less than what is stated in the constitution, but it is much better than the theocracy in Afghanistan. Another important factor is that the economical condition of an average Iraqis is far better than an average Afghanistan citizen, therefore the dissident are mostly political in nature. As wicked as Saddam Hussein be, his political party has come to power via a process that at least has some legitimacy, thus the root of legitimacy lies in political system.

Now, for Afghanistan, the struggle between Taliban and Northern Alliance is seen by many as power struggle between Arabs and native Afghanistians. Thus Taliban’s only sense of legitimacy come from its political ideal of moral-theocracy, but not its performance in managing the national economy, and its non-native root is never forgotten by its citizen. Therefore, USA is choosing the right stragety in toppling Taliban through aiding its proxy. However, the invasion of Iraqi could NEVER be right in the eye of Iraqis unless its toppled by revolution incited by USA. To them, it is United States invading Iraqi using the excuse of freedom and liberation, since lack of freedom wasn’t a concern for Iraqis big enough to rebel against a secular government. This government wasn’t a good one, but Iraqis fear more of the rule by religion as in other non-secular Muslims states. How much freedom that USA could bring to Iraqi purposefully rather than it take away unintentionally?
Therefore, it is not a surprise to anyone that rebellion resulted after USA declared its victory, it is as much as Saddam Hussein’s masterminded plan as much as a normal reaction to the political situation there. Since the original government is toppled, it is thus nature for every political/religion fraction to struggle for power there. Since Iraqi has little or no tradition of representative democracy, the easiest cost way to power is through violence and guns(In part because USA doesn’t have the military might/political will to fight every fraction in Iraq). USA should have known that Iraqis is perhaps the most militarized civilian in the world, and bullet cost much less than ballet.
What has happened now should be predictable beforehand. Is that American who are naive and stupid or they have other things in mind when invading Iraqi? Is that regardless of the situation in Iraqi, USA could make some gains from this invasion?

An hypothesis on Catalyst of Catalyst

It follow from the discussion on Between Catalyst and Placebo Effect and The Placebo effect and the question of mind and matter that analogous to recursive Repression in Freudian theory to hide any trace of repression, it is necessary for the brain to evolve Catalyst for neurological process so Placebo Effect is possible. Extending this analogy, the body isn’t just what the brain deceive, in order for the deception to be complete, the brain also need to deceive other parts of the brain. Thus, following the same logic, Catalyst of Catalyst of neurological process is necessary to have such an effect. By looking at the level of catalyst, we could tell how complete is the deception(and how good is Placebo Effect approximate its target). Similarly, we could infer from this line of logic that the existence of Catalyst implied some kind of cheating in the nature (in terms of energy). Theoretically, if it is chemically possible to accelerate a chemical reaction without itself being altered; then it should be possible that there exists another substance that could accelerate the ‘chemical reaction’ of Catalyst on the original reactants. If we could discover Catalyst of Catalyst, then we could understand how complete is that cheating in nature.

The Reconstruction of female in a Male-dominated society

When I was studying in USA, I observe that the dramas and movies are dominated by male themes like violence, causal sex. What sadden me is in a society which has a long traditional of gender equality; while in the Television, not just male is evaluating female via external qualities like looks and body but female is also portrayed as evaluating male in the same way male evaluate female. It appears to me that female is losing their femininity in their quest to become equal with male. Why is not the other ways around given female usually has longer life than male?

I remember how shocked I am when I realize that female has a different cognitive process in evaluating their suitor. The first time I seriously considering the possibility that internal qualities like personality, intelligence, sense of humor, wealth could be attractive in the same sense that external qualities like bodies and looks attractive to male. It appears to me that the process for male probably bear a closer relationship with sexual arousal than female. How is the alternative process possible? How is the process different from that of male?

In any sense, it would be of value for male to learn from the way which female choose their suitor. It appears to me that external qualities of anyone only hold their charm for relatively shorter time compare to the charm of internal qualities to female. Therefore, it sadden me much to see how the whole US society
is turning everyone into animal of sexual arousal, but care nothing about Philosopher. So USA culture only concerns about how to get the other sex to agree to your proposal of marriage; but not the content of the marriage.

你好有性格!

這是最常見聽到的一句話,我第一次聽後,心想:每個人都有性格,我到底如何可以比其他人更有性格呢?除非是其他人根本沒有性格的!
性格的意思是人的行為/思想/感情套進一套思想框架去分析,然後嘗試建立一套最完整的理論可以完全涵括這個的所有行為/思想/感情,但是因為人的行為往往最受他的身份/角色以及情境(situation)共同決定,因此我們通常看到的其實不真正反映由個人性格產生的行為,而是他的工作需要的行為/態度。如果要真正觀察一個人的性格,一是透過多種不同身份/角色以及情境下的行為,另一是以他的身份/角色以及情境為標準,再細心觀察他如何去扮演的角色,他扮演這角色時的個人特色,例如是不是比其他售貨員更主動、或者本來應該多言的卻沉默寡言。而這樣推敲出來的性格還只可以是推測,因為我們不會直接觀察到他的動機。如此這般,何來有一些人很有性格呢?
我只可以猜想,這句話的通義代表了某些人的行為在某情況下特別起眼,而通常含貾義,泛指不合作的人。因為如果在工作時同事合作無間,則合作無間的行為,只可以歸因於為工作而合作,而不是本來是一個喜歡和別人合作的人,反而,明明工作需要同事合作,卻有同事偏不合作,由以上的邏緝於是有人歸因於他本人的性格,這是因為他的本身而不是由工作需要而來。另一層含意是在香港「主流主義」的社會環境下,每一個人都害怕自己太獨特出衆,因為「槍打出頭鳥」,行為與別不同的人很容易成為公衆的發洩對象。無他,公衆因為生活需要壓抑自己性格而非常不滿,其他膽敢雷池半步的人,自然成為最佳的攻擊對象西,所以每人都堨力壓抑自己的性格,避免成為集體攻擊的對象。
我好有性格,是不是代表有人無性格?無性格的人,是社會心理學的香港奇蹟。
