Today I brought three slim books of minor historical studies, but looking at them I felt nothing much— or rather, I had no mind to read.
In the morning, an old classmate who has been staying at my place these past few days came along, and left before lunch to go to a gathering. byz came at noon to keep me company while I sat there in a daze; a little later qy&zgz came by to chat idly; a little later byz left for a meeting. In the evening zzg arrived to chat idly; a little later qy&zgz left, and zzg and I sat there in a daze; a little later dr arrived to chat idly; in the end dr left, zzg continued to sit there in a daze, and before leaving he used my computer to play a twenty-minute game of solitaire…… (I won’t sort out the specific idle talk, but I’ll allow myself to record the rough sequence. After all, this café salon was originally a public activity.)
At first I thought that if there were more people today, I could talk a bit about next semester’s plans, but the actual situation was a little awkward. The time was not ripe, so let’s leave it for later.
I got to witness certain odd fellows. Although I’m not exactly uninformed, people in logic are indeed always surprising me.
In the afternoon I brought up the issue of Plato’s epistemology once again. Technologies like recording and calculation cannot reach truth directly; intuition and decisiveness are more fundamental. To sink into logic and numbers is to miss direct contact with truth. Perhaps I am able to reach it?

Next time: I’ll probably still come and keep watch.

Hahaha, the senior brother was flummoxed by little Sungary? He’s a number freak, an extreme ascetic, hmm.
I also think intuition is the greatest; it’s the same for mathematics, logic, philosophy… everything.
