On the Left’s Self-dug Grave
https://x.com/epr510/status/1893851683534643208 (Reflections on watching the right rise in the German election) What’s funny is that many left-wing intellectuals earlier all thought the enemy was Trump, and that once this oddity had run its course, everything would be fine. But the facts have shown that the left’s collapse is global; Trump’s rise is not an exception but a trend. I think many people still haven’t figured this out even now. Of course, the left’s collapse has something to do with the general spirit of the age, but fundamentally it is still an internal problem. In short, left-wing parties themselves abandoned left-wing positions. So the essence of the left’s defeat is not…

Chinese Character Inscription Is About to Launch
See @epr510 on Twitter for details Let us proudly inscribe Chinese writing into blockchain history! (Tutorial in a follow-up tweet https://twitter.com/epr510/status/1746151703915725284?s=19) We have launched two sets of Chinese-character inscriptions, classical and modern: the classical version is the Thousand Character Classic, containing one thousand unique traditional characters, forming a beautiful rhymed prose—“Heaven and Earth dark and yellow, the universe vast and ancient…” This is a foundational textbook that every scholar in ancient China had to read, and it is also the main way of sorting sequences by character count. This set of characters is positioned to attract some cultural elites from the humanities, arts, and technology fields to join in reviving…

Upgrading One’s Worldview Is Not So Easy—A Review of Worldview

Upgrading One’s Worldview Is Not So Easy—A Review of Worldview
This is a commissioned book review, published in China Science Daily (2019-03-01, Section 7, Book Review) The original title was: Before “Cognitive Upgrading,” It Is Even More Important to Understand the Foundations of Cognition When it was published, the title was changed (for the better), section headings were added, and some omissions were made. For example, the rather severe criticism I originally made of the translation was toned down quite a bit; I was informed in advance by the editor that I agreed to that. In addition, the embedded “advertisement” (for the Department of History of Science at Tsinghua) was removed, and the short final passage on Greek pseudo-history was…

On the Intrinsic Reasons for the Integration of the Mathematical-Traditional and Experimental Traditions
Sender: EPR (Gu Bu | JOKER | Pingtian Dasheng | the homebody who wants to become the Pirate King), Board: KXTS标　 Subject: My own conjecture about the second essay question Posting site: Peking University Weiming BBS (2009-12-28 22:20:24, Monday), internal message This year’s short-answer questions were relatively easy. The first essay question was a homework problem from previous years, and the third homework question was fairly open-ended. Only the second question was especially difficult; I was completely stumped by it at first. Still, it is quite interesting. Although I didn’t set the question, I also want to try to guess at a possible line of thought. First, the question asks…

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…

A Rambling Talk on Science pp
Preface The following lecture was written out completely before the actual talk. In the real presentation, because there was, first, no PPT to assist me and, second, my on-the-spot performance was not up to par, I ended up saying much less than I had intended, and did not do very well. Looking at this script should make up for some of that. 《Does God Play Dice》 can be read online at http://book.sina.com.cn/nzt/liangzishihua/. Let’s Begin Because I prepared too thoroughly—I had already written out the whole script—when speaking I might be a bit constrained, and since I can’t use PPT, I’ll have to keep glancing at the text, so please forgive…
