Relativity

The theory appeared to me then, and it still does, the greatest feat of human thinking about nature, the most amazing combination of philosophical penetration, physical intuition, and mathematical skill…  It appealed to me like a great work of art …

The why of love, 2.1.3

軟硬智力 7.1.3

How to answer this kind of questions:

Why am I so stupid?

It is not a valid question. It is not the case that there is a pre-existing “I”, to which we can assign some qualities such as stupidity. Instead, I am the sum of all my qualities, including the quality of being stupid.

This kind of questions are like

Why does a triangle have three angles?

To be not stupid, the correct approach should be,

I am stupid. So I have to change my ‘I’ in order to be not stupid.

Although you cannot change the number of angles of a triangle, you can change the figure itself, replacing it with a rectangle.

觀我者誰 1.2

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

寫作,是觀察「多重自我」的一個極佳方法。

一方面,「文章」就是凝固了的思想。自我凝固了,自然較為容易觀察研究。

另一方面,寫文章的結構是,由 不同性格、不同層次 和 不同時間 的自我,合作做同一件事。他們互相爭論,大打出手,直到最終達成共識,才能化成文字。寫文章是「多重自我」的行動中,最為複雜的其中一種。

所以,透過觀察自己寫作的過程和成果,你就可以較為了解自己的「多重自我」。

例如,「現在的我」和「過去的我」性格不大相同,可以視為不同的「自我」。有時,「現在的我」閱讀「過去的我」的文章時,感覺有如正在閱讀另一個人的文章一樣。那就是「多重自我」的一個顯現。
