Secluding Myself and Shutting Down the Blog
As of today (such a 222 kind of day), the blog is under lock and key. The time of reopening is undecided. In any case, let everyone first welcome the Olympic Games. Comment replies huyong 2008-06-25 00:47:56 [reply] Very envious; I very much hope to join you all, and long to receive help! Gu Du 2008-03-29 21:30:47 [reply] I don’t know the situation in Peking University’s Marxist philosophy, so I can’t make a judgment. Personally, I still don’t see much of a future for the Marxist philosophy circles in China; Marxist philosophy anywhere isn’t going to be all that great. The key is simply which advisor you end…

The Inertia of the Bystander

The Inertia of the Bystander
On the operation of blogs and the management of BBS forums, the most vexing problem is not that nobody reads, but that those who do read are often willing only to be “audience,” not to participate, and not even willing to leave a single word now and then (such as “great, upvote, dizzy, read, re, omg, orz,” etc.). But it is not that they are uninterested, or simply disdain it. In fact, many people come by frequently to have a look, and some of them will occasionally say “inspiring” (which, after all, is also a form of feedback, albeit an indirect one). But on the whole they are just too…

What Is the Meaning of Suixuan?

What Is the Meaning of Suixuan?
What, in the end, is the meaning of Suixuan? Why have I been running this blog? I have more or less forgotten these questions, because blogging has gradually become a daily habit: I write whenever I think of it, without needing any purpose or reason. But after setting it aside for a period of time, the question has surfaced again—why did I want to shut the blog down? And if I do not shut it down, then why should I continue blogging? I dug up a comment I myself left a year and a half ago: https://yilinhut.net/2006/03/24/350.html Gu 2006-07-07 01:59:06 The current orientation of this blog of mine is: First,…

On the Current Situation of Suixuan
The new place has already been renovated, and the owner of Suixuan is also in a state of everything waiting to be revived~ Originally, it should have been time to invite friends over to visit, but the bookshelves are still being organized, and right now the floor is completely covered with books, all in utter chaos, so I’m still too embarrassed to receive guests. However, if anyone wants to come visit and, by the way, help me sort books, then you can come now~ Living in a place like this is too burdened with guilt…… I should really bg more and build up more rp. But one should keep a…

The 500th blog post~!
A week from now, it will be exactly two years since I opened this blog. Two years, 500 blog posts—quite a brilliant achievement, I’d say? With the “implementation” of “Suixuan,” my blog ought to move into a new stage. I do not ask for “getting better and better”; I don’t like that phrase. I only hope that I can keep alive the enthusiasm I now have for reading, writing, and thinking, keep alive that carefree and spontaneous attitude, and keep on with my starry-sky philosophy. When the second anniversary comes, I’ll put out a selected collection here, and settle accounts with these several hundred posts and more than a…

Yilin’s Little Retreat
I had often wanted to find a blog other than Yeku as a secondary base—both for backups and to hide some things as well as add some things. In short, changing the style a bit might well be interesting. But after checking out various blogs, I all felt that I wasn’t used to them (I’m the sort of person who gets used to something and then can’t be bothered to change), and in the end I gave them all up. Recently I saw that Yeku allows one user to register two blogs, so I casually registered one, and then just as casually went over to Bokee and registered one there…

In ordinary times, one should write more blog posts as an outlet
Yesterday in the ontology seminar, we were chatting about writing academic papers. Lao Yang said that a certain junior female student’s homework papers — and, incidentally, mine too — contained a lot of personal, experiential material, and thus might seem very good and highly original to some teachers, while receiving very, very low grades from others (Lao Yang was definitely thinking of my grade in metaphysics class… ). On the other hand, there are some people who know how to write and produce papers that are proper and standard, and no matter which teacher reads them, they can still get a high score. That is indeed so. A good paper…

The 400th blog post~
From the 200th blog post to this 400th one (the counter on the right side of the page is malfunctioning; besides, I also counted a few private posts), it has been exactly one year. At that time the blog’s word count had already passed 500,000; now it probably ought to be breaking one million. But at present I can no longer export a backup file, and I wonder whether this is a common problem or simply because my blog has become too large. This year has been, quite precisely, the worst one in my life in spiritual terms, and I have been sinking deeper and deeper. Only recently…
