Last week was all normal; there just wasn’t much of anybody and nothing much going on, so I won’t record it. Next week will also continue as usual.
Today, Guawang brought along a classmate. Though there weren’t many people, the discussion was still quite lively.
We talked about the relationship between elites and the masses—whether some new idea becomes widespread because the public blindly follows a small number of authorities?
We also mentioned the “pleasure machine (brain in a vat),” the choice between love and chemical substances? purpose and meaning, scientism, paradigm shifts, sympathy, departmental divisions…
I don’t remember the specifics for the moment; I’ll fill them in again in a few days when I have time.
Who appeared here today: Gua’s classmate and his classmate

Oh right, the service at Xin Dao is getting more and more infuriating! I’m thinking of changing places after I use up this membership card…

How about, when you have money in the future, opening your own café?
