JOKER! — The Clown, the One Who Tells Jokes, the Wild Card, the Big Joker, the King.
I am merely an unclaimed street performer, roaming the noisy, clamorous streets of the city, using the crudest props I happened to pick up to ply the cheapest tricks before passersby hurrying past, only hoping that busy modern people might stop for a moment now and then. —— Gu Cha He is neither arrogant nor deferential to others; he is simply striving to pursue true wisdom. A true joker is very different from the other cards. —— Sophie So, Sophie, now you must make a choice. Are you a child whose curiosity has not yet been worn away by the world? Or a philosopher who can never be such a…

The Structure of a Pirate Ship

The Structure of a Pirate Ship
Noolat has a famous metaphor, roughly to the effect that science is like a ship sailing on the boundless sea: if something goes wrong, people can only repair it with whatever is on hand, or with things that can be salvaged from the sea. You might say it would be better to dismantle the ship and rebuild it from scratch, but the problem is that in this boundless sea the ship is our foothold; we can only keep sailing while repairing it. This metaphor is a good one; however, what those philosophers of science have not sufficiently noticed is that science is not an isolated, freely drifting thing in human…

Draft Program for an Old-School Philosophy

Draft Program for an Old-School Philosophy
If I were recruiting a crew, of course I would need to explain what sort of style and route this ship more or less has. When it comes to a program, it is actually a rather ambiguous thing: it is either too general or too specific. It can be condensed to a single character, “love” or “I”; to two characters, “freedom” or “seeking”; to three, “play games” or “possibility”; to four, “preserve sameness while seeking difference” or “strive for excellence”; to five, “know yourself” or “that old bear of a mother-in-law,” and so on. Any of these could be posted as a slogan at the entrance to Suixuan. Of course,…

From Fisherman to Pirate

From Fisherman to Pirate
The will that is inherited, the surging currents of the age, people’s dreams… these are things that cannot be stopped. As long as people continue seeking the answer to freedom, they will never cease! Recently, an online friend thought I was impressive and said he wanted to imitate my way of studying. Of course I told him, please, don’t ever do that. My lazy, irregular, and unambitious way of studying—if anyone else tried to imitate it, it would almost certainly be ruined. And I myself have always faced the danger of becoming a heap of useless waste who accomplishes nothing, so it’s definitely not something to take casually. More to…

This Issue’s Music: One Piece OP, Jungle P
http://podcache.cctv.com/published1/2007/11/23/pub1195778342427.mp3 I’ve posted a few installments of classical music, so it’s about time to change things up once in a while too~ Today, all of a sudden, I had an impulse to post something a bit more stimulating—to lift the spirits, and at the same time give people a little scare. But after thinking it over, I still decided to be a bit more peaceful and go with something moderately so—namely the latest OP of *One Piece* (OP means the opening theme song). I think the lyrics are pretty good. Below I’m posting the lyrics translated by the Fengxue subtitle team: Roam the world’s seas, and shout at the top…

I am the man who will become the Pirate King!
I Am the Man Who Is Going to Become the Pirate King! The One Piece anime has already reached episode 300. I only started watching it over this winter break, and I watched the more than 200 previous episodes and several theatrical films in one go. Of course, it is a very good anime. The first 200-odd episodes are the most exciting, especially the first few dozen. And like other very long anime series, the further it goes, the more the plot begins to feel drawn out, and the tension of the story lessens and less. This is probably due to the interference of commercialization. But I am still full…
