A Discussion of Aliens as a Modern Superstition
Recently, some netizens have been leaving comments on the blog discussing the issue of aliens (there were some earlier discussions under Jiang Xiaoyuan’s lecture commentary). Since his comment was placed under the introduction page Who Is Gu Bo?, it felt a bit out of place (in general, casual comments and questions may as well be posted under the message board), so I decided to open a new post and transplant the comments over directly~ Although I have already discussed this here and there in bits and pieces, I have always wanted to write a dedicated essay on the issue of aliens; it could be an essay on “science and…

Updated the Blog Email Address
After switching to the Aliyun server, besides setting up the blog, I also took the opportunity to set up my own mail server. I used the iRedMail suite, which bundles and installs the whole package, including smtp, pop3, imap, SSL encryption, and webmail, making it quite convenient. Given Gmail’s increasingly difficult situation in China, but since I don’t want to switch to some domestic website’s email service, using a mail service I run myself may be a good choice. Of course Gmail has its irreplaceable advantage—search—so my own mailbox will not replace Gmail for the time being; it will only serve as an auxiliary tool to some extent. At present,…

Blog hosting moved to Aliyun~

Blog hosting moved to Aliyun~
I had been using Huaxia Mingwang’s shared hosting all along, and it had been almost two years. The cheapest plan was only a little over one hundred yuan a year. After a year, I upgraded to a somewhat better one, buying it through an agent for a little over two hundred yuan a year, and I ended up purchasing three years at once. Huaxia Mingwang’s hosting had plenty of problems, but basically they were still tolerable. Most of the time the site wouldn’t go down outright, though there were plenty of minor glitches. In short, I just kept enduring and enduring until now. But a couple of days ago there…

My Book-Writing Plan

My Book-Writing Plan
Yesterday, at a dinner gathering, we happened to mention publishing books. I heard that in some places one book counts for the equivalent of three papers; in others it counts for nothing at all. But in any case, it can at least be regarded as one kind of achievement. For me, perhaps writing three books would be easier than publishing ten papers, so if writing books could also earn me some credit, that would be a good thing. Of course, I am indeed willing to write books, and not only for the sake of credit. Although, in my view, philosophical texts in the pre-network era may have been mainly in…

The 1000th Blog Post

The 1000th Blog Post
Suixuan opened for business on July 31, 2005, on Yiku Blog. On December 10, 2010, I switched blogs to Ixiezi. My original plan was to make it a transit station and first move the articles over to WordPress. Later I did settle down there for a while as well, but for various reasons I ultimately gave it up. On January 8, 2011, I finally made up my mind to buy my own virtual space and independent domain name, and truly set foot on the proper road of an “independent blog”; before I knew it, almost a year and a half had passed. As early as July 23, 2007, I had…

Why Place Ads

Why Place Ads
Has everyone noticed that “advertisements” have appeared in the blog’s sidebar? I added them in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep because my rhinitis flared up~ Of course, putting up ads was also something I had long had in mind. Why put up ads? First of all, of course, ads can make money. Right now, to keep this blog running, with hosting fees and domain fees, I spend about 300 yuan a year. Although I don’t really care about money, after all I’m only spending my parents’ money, so if I can make up a little of it, that’s always good. But judging from this blog’s current…

Let’s test posting a Weibo directly on the blog~
Spring has arrived, and so has my rhinitis~ To date, I’ve had three submissions rejected and one accepted (the one I least expected, yet somehow had long had a premonition about; I’ll keep you in suspense for now). For the very first piece, I unconditionally accept the outrageously, ridiculously expensive page fee, but if you ask me for it again after that, we’ll have to talk it over~

Revised the Blog’s Copyright Rules
An exception clause has been added for articles published in print media; see: https://yilinhut.net/about/published The essence of Suixuan’s copyright policy is this: in addition to being allowed to reprint and quote it as one would treat an ordinary academic work, one may also freely adapt and distribute it. According to the copyright terms, adaptations must credit both the original author and the adapter, but there is no need to cite line by line; it is enough simply to indicate something like “originally written by Guci, adapted by Zhang San.” At the same time, such adapted versions must also abide by the same terms—that is, they too must allow others to…

A Portal for the History of Science and Philosophy? A Library? — On the Future Fate of keshizhe.net
After wrapping up the Beijing History of Science, Technology, and Philosophy Student Forum, more than half a month had slipped by before I even realized it. The keshizhe.net I had worked so hard to put together died, with no suspense whatsoever. Although I had never had much confidence that it would ever become active in the first place, I still hadn’t expected it to die so quickly, so cleanly, and so decisively. Not only did almost no one post again after the meeting ended, but traffic also plunged rapidly, and in less than a week it was already lying on the bottom: The 5 or 6 visits per day at…

Exchange First, Scholarship Second—A Summary of the Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science
The 2nd Beijing Graduate Student Academic Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science was finally wrapped up last weekend~ After the forum, I caught up on sleep + spent two days tinkering with the blog as a change of pace, and only now have I begun to write the summary.I was the main person in charge of organizing this forum, and my chief work was contacting students from various schools, calling for paper submissions, and moderating the review process, and so on. At the beginning, everyone’s enthusiasm was not high; it was not until the last moment that submissions started flooding in, which in the final half-month almost drove…
