    The Starry Sky in My Heart

    The starry sky is in the heart. Hehe. My whole philosophical thinking, more or less, is under what might be called a philosophy of the starry sky.  Mieko 2005-10-11 13:42:18 [reply] Just a random note, unrelated to philosophy of the starry sky and a bit off-topic. Countless brilliant starlights sting the night. veronique 2006-04-27 22:22:39 http://spaces.msn.com/veronique945/ [reply] What is the relation between the stars and the night? A deep one. QQ：176545780 Gu Chu: The stars and the night are one whole, just like the white of the eye and the pupil; something purely white or purely black cannot be called an eye. Only when black is dotted in white does…

    A Post and My Reply (About Speaking Out Online)

    Future Peking University People Community – Webmaster’s Workshop – Strongly Requesting (well, let’s say suggesting instead)                                                       Shujian Piaoling                                                       Strongly suggest:                                                       Could you please leave up those articles that take Peking University to task? Why can’t I find a single one? “Listening to all sides makes one wise”!!!                                                       2005-8-11 08:41 PM                                                       Flying Dolphin                                                       But that’s too extreme, ah                                                       2005-8-11 09:45 PM                                                       Gu Cha                                                       “Listening to all sides makes one wise” is certainly right, but you also have to distinguish among places, occasions, and situations. Some articles may indeed contain a little bit of truth, but behind that little bit of truth there are also many distortions. Of course, “listening to all…

  • Supplementary Ideological Report for Party Membership Confirmation

    Supplementary Ideological Report for Party Membership Confirmation

    Thought Report (1) Dear Party Organization: Why join the Party? What does joining the Party mean? In my previous thought reports, I have already discussed these questions many times. This time I thought of a metaphor that may not be the most apt one, but is very interesting, and perhaps can help me further express my views. I compare joining the Party to getting married. Why get married? Without marriage, everything can still go on as usual; one can still keep love, still live together, and even raise children. Likewise, without joining the Party, one can still do everything that ought to be done, can still keep one’s faith, and…

  • On “Speaking of Principles”

    Life & Notes

    On “Speaking of Principles”

    Nicknames got started during military training, things like “XX Man.” Someone—one of my closest friends, no less—actually said that I “are the most principle-abiding person in the philosophy department,” and called me “Principle Man.” I found this extremely uncomfortable, alas. In fact, I don’t think I’m a person who talks about principles. It would be more acceptable to say I’m “the least principle-oriented” person, because what I value is the word “go with the flow.” I not only advocate “making peace with whatever comes” and “adapting to circumstances,” but as for things like “playing along with the situation,” I’m not averse to them either; I even think they are necessary…

  • Returning from Military Training

    Life & Notes

    Returning from Military Training

    Military training is hard; military training is, after all, about going there to suffer, so if you don’t feel it’s grueling, something’s wrong. Military training tests not physical fitness, but willpower. On that score I’m really fine, but once it’s over, there’s still the feeling of being suddenly relieved, so I might as well let out a shout: One, two, three, four, Giant Dragon Third Company, striving for glory at the front, well-trained, leading in everything, one, two, three, four, one-two-three—four!

    Compiled Q&A for Philosophy Department Freshmen

    Recently I’ve been talking with many younger classmates, both on the forum and on QQ, and have accumulated a number of Q&As on different topics. I’m now organizing and listing part of them here for more students to refer to. What follows includes a great deal of my own subjective opinion; my subjective opinion is for reference only, so keep it in mind and don’t take it too seriously. Q: What courses does the Philosophy Department require? A: In the first semester, the required courses are two major courses: Introduction to Philosophy (2 credits) and Mathematical Logic (4 credits). In addition, you can choose either Classical Chinese or Advanced Mathematics,…

  • TV science education is a stronghold for spreading pseudoscience!

    TV science education is a stronghold for spreading pseudoscience!

    After patiently observing CCTV for a few days, I found that the science-and-education programs are indeed a breeding ground for pseudoscience! Easter Island stone statues, wild men, Atlantis, UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles… they’ve aired almost every one of those classic, famous pseudoscientific cases. 《Approaching Science》 is basically “Entering Pseudoscience”; “Exploration · Discovery” is 50% pseudoscience; “Mystery Tracking” is 100% pseudoscience—utterly irresponsible pure pseudoscience! Even the programs that are not openly promoting pseudoscience never show the slightest trace of, or even an implied, promotion of the scientific spirit; everything is spreading pseudoscience! The popularity of pseudoscience in modern society: the media must bear 90% of the responsibility! If you want…
