Why It needs a thousand year to write this essay?

The following article was  written in the year 1000  something.  It was 1000 years after the Six Kingdoms were destroyed by the Qin State.

The conclusion came 1000 years later.

Now situation is more or less the same.

United States has chosen Russia to be the first victim.

And everybody knows who is going to be the next. 

蘇洵   六國論

六國破滅，非兵不利，戰不善，弊在賂秦。賂秦而力虧，破滅之道也。或曰：「六國互喪，率賂秦耶？」曰：「不賂者以賂者喪，蓋失強援，不能獨完，故曰弊在賂秦也。」^[1]

秦以攻取之外，小則獲邑，大則得城，較秦之所得，與戰勝而得者，其實百倍；諸侯之所亡，與戰敗而亡者，其實亦百倍。則秦之所大欲，諸侯之所大患，固不在戰矣。^[2]思厥先祖父，暴霜露，斬荊棘，以有尺寸之地。子孫視之不甚惜，舉以予人，如棄草芥。今日割五城，明日割十城，然後得一夕安寢。起視四境，而秦兵又至矣。^[3]然則諸侯之地有限，暴秦之欲無厭，奉之彌繁，侵之愈急，故不戰而強弱勝負已判矣。至於顛覆，理固宜然。古人云：「以地事秦，猶抱薪救火，薪不盡，火不滅。」此言得之。^[4]

齊人未嘗賂秦，終繼五國遷滅，何哉？與嬴而不助五國也。五國既喪，齊亦不免矣。燕、趙之君，始有遠略，能守其土，義不賂秦。是故燕雖小國而後亡，斯用兵之效也。至丹以荊卿為計，始速禍焉。^[5]趙嘗五戰於秦，二敗而三勝。後秦擊趙者再，李牧連卻之。^[6]洎牧以讒誅，^[7]邯鄲為郡；^[8]惜其用武而不終也。

且燕、趙處秦革滅殆盡之際，可謂智力孤危，戰敗而亡，誠不得已。^[9]向使三國各愛其地，^[10]齊人勿附於秦，刺客不行，良將猶在，則勝負之數，存亡之理，當與秦相較，或未易量。^[11]

嗚呼！以賂秦之地，封天下之謀臣；以事秦之心，禮天下之奇才；併力西向，則吾恐秦人食之不得下咽也。^[12]悲夫！有如此之勢，而為秦人積威之所劫，日削月割，以趨於亡，為國者無使為積威之所劫哉！^[13] 

夫六國與秦皆諸侯，^[14]其勢弱於秦，^[15]而猶有可以不賂而勝之之勢；茍以天下之大，而從六國破亡之故事，^[16]是又在六國下矣！^[17

晨起讀詩

一從大地起風雷，便有精生白骨堆。

僧是愚氓猶可訓，妖為鬼蜮必成災。

金猴奮起千鈞棒，玉宇澄清萬里埃。

今日歡呼孫大聖，只緣妖霧又重來。

          金猴不怕鬼

          怕鬼不金猴

          吆聲暴一喝

          玉宇萬里開

又一首

夜夢不寧覓蒿萊

心驚肉跳有悲哀

龍飛鳳舞一枝棒

萬里澄清萬里開

I am dreaming in the weeds

my heart shaking in the bleeds

iron rod in hand I jump

all is clear by the beat

Why Superstition in Technology is a negative taboo?

 9591

(為何迷信科技是大忌?)

It was a very bad taboo since the Nehru* days in India.

Nehru believed that science and technology is the only means to save the economy of India.

Now people in Hong Kong is doing more or less the same.

And they are working hard.

People believed Economy  is like cooking,   you only need to stir more often in the wok, then the dish will be fine.(像炒菜那樣炒多幾下, 經濟自然向上昇.)

And the most important thing is science.

Someone believed in Science buildings.  They would build science gardens to accomodate more scientists and experts,  big money would come naturally.

Maybe it is true. Economy is just like cooking.

You need to have different ingredients,  or conditions.

You need to have a culture that loves its people.

The culture needs to know their need.

What do the old people and young people want?

What is the most urgent things for their livelihood?

And  the culture needs to know how to think.

The culture needs to know how to ask why.

The culture needs to be interested in the universe.

The culture needs to have imaginations.

And most important of all, please do not kick away people with imaginations.

They can help you not harm you.

Now, Hong Kong is falling.

And falling is due to lying.

Hong kong is still in the hands of the secret underground party.  None of them are touched. They want the ruin of Hong Kong.

Please refer to the huge walls in Youth Square.

What is the hint from the Iran-Israel conflict?

 9590

The Israelis had selected important Iranian officers to kill. It is not important if they were military officers or nuclear scientists.

Important is the precision.

It was before the invention of AI.   How can they pinpoint so sharply to send out bullets?

The last killing was controlled by maybe satellites.  A round of  11  bullets  hit directly at the forehead of a scientist.

It happened four years ago before AI was invented.

They must have been using a set of complicated and sophisticated computer system  comparable or better than the Artificial Intelligence people are now using.

They can locate and find everyone through the images from the satellite  with the help of the mobile networks.

By that time, the satellite networks like the Star Link was not in use.

Yet they had done all the necessary procedures  to locate objects.

How can they do that?

It could be another chapter for the Art of War.

That there must be unknown factors you cannot ignore.

The factors are more than images from the satellites  plus data from the mobile networks.

There must be something more for them to pinpoint the objects.

Wise people  have given up using mobile phones long ago.

And unknown science  applications can still locate  everyone of them.

They knew every detail in your life.

The first hint is that you have to include the unknown factor into your own calculation.

A group of  Iranian military officers held a meeting in a Syria ambassy.  And suddenly came a missile killing them all.

They did not know that they were being watched after so many killings happened before.

The question is, are we still free?

There are no personal secrets in this modern world.

Everyone is being monitored.   People are input  into a huge computer. They knew more than individuals.  All of your country were in detail calculations.

Are we still free?

Should countries surrender to foreign countries?

The answer is no.

No one can take away your internal freedom.

Internal freedom is always stronger than the external scientific measures.

Many people would ask you how.

How are you to stand up and fight with them?

.............

But the important question is not "how".

Important is "why".

You need to ask many times of why.

People forget to ask why since the early ages of their culture.

And the culture of "why" can produce a solution for your questions of "how".

Science is starting from "why".

Isaac Newton did not ask: "How am I to make "big money" from the falling apple?"

He asked why.

However, the popular question is "how".

It could be the setback of many more people in the near future.

You will have no science without asking why.

 

Why should young people be scared in Youth Square Hong Kong？?

 9589

Please examine carefully in these two huge murals in Youth Square.

Does it show something here?

What is the meaning of "FHK" and "64" and "肉" ?

I don't know how the Government of Hong Kong cares about the mental health of  young people when they are looking at the "devils" here.

They are huge wall to wall drawings. You cannot excape seeing them.

note

Maybe they had given up promises already.

The Hong Kong Education authorities had a title for young people this year:

  DSE examination essay topic:  

 "...some people think that giving up promise is responsible behavior"

(第三題：向華：「遵守諾言是具誠信的表現。」幼羚：「我卻認為，有時候，放棄諾言也是負責任的行為。」試寫作文章一篇，談談你對以上兩個觀點的看法。)

the joke for youth is:

DSE考試對聯

放棄承諾才是負責任的行為

放棄責任才是最重要的承諾

Why a glass was broken on top of my head?

 9587

It happened only a while ago at 3.40pm, April 14, 2024 at the back street of the Youth Square in Chai Wan, Hong Kong.

I was sitting there writing.  Someone told me a glass was broken on 12th floor.   It was exactly on top of my head.

People have been trying to kill me many times.

Cars were running at me twice a few years ago.

They drove into a hawker area in the evening trying to run me down.

Some people throw a living snake at me in the back hills of the University of Hong Kong.

Someone put a snake beneath my car at Po Shan Road. A passerby  shouted to me not to open my car door as a snake was there waiting for my foot.

Po Shan Road was the favourite spot for me parking my car. I used to park here and work in the University Library, just to save some parking fee. People were angry with me why the police had never given me a ticket.

And then the snakes were coming.

They have been silent for several years.  I thought I am safe. 

At this time is a new attempt.

 i was sitting here

Why is it a great great opportunity for now?

 9585

It is a great time for  human beings to see clearly about how we as human being, or at least the Western part of  human beings were and are living under a big spell and now is the time to break up the spell.

You need to know how to break the spell, but I cannot help you as it is your own job.

The spell is like this:

That you need only to obey.

Obedience is above everything,  you need to kill your own son if you are ordered to do so.

There is a reward for the obedience.

The reward is not in heaven,  The reward is materialistic.

The reward is land and money.

The spell came from the ancient Old-Testament.

And it has been dominating human behaviors since then.

Jesus was the first one to challenge this spell.   He said love is more important than sacrifice.

You don't need to sacrifice your own son to obey.

And you are not obeying god.

God will not issue an order like this.

It's the priests who is badly in need of obedience, not the creator.

It is for the convenience to rule.

Ancient priests found the more vivid the story,  the more effective the spell.

So they had created a complete story.

And seldom could anyone to expect such a spell can last for thousands of years until this moment.

And now humans are witnessing their fellow humans being killed in a new case.

It is a good chance for humans to wake up from the spell.

That material rewards should not suppass love.

We need to act in love not in  rewards of money.

It is a chance to wake up for all.

If we neglect this chance,  we shall be  witnessing  the failure of ourself.

The most terrible thing is the inner-evil,   it is in the involved  countries and many other passersby countries.

The evils had taken away their wisdom.

It is a good opportunity now to do something and it is very likely possible and successful.
