自卑

Inferiority complex, 2

自卑有如一個失了靈的鬧鐘，會響個不停。

你按下它時，它會停一會。

但你一放手，它又會繼續響。

時空膠紙 1.3

尋找下一步 1.6 | Meaningful 11.6

這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 3 日的對話。

…

3. 你的薪金適中，但長遠而言，不會有明顯進步。你預計將來數年的收入，都會保持大概不變。長年累月的原地踏步，再加上你的工作本身，剛巧沒有什麼大意義，上班自然意志消沉。

4. 你的工作時間太長，無論你的薪金是太多、適中，還是太少，你也沒有時間，去享受那些金錢。

我以前在中學教書時，就有第三和第四點這兩個煩惱。金錢方面，並不會帶來足夠的滿足感；我可以假想，五年之後，我會有同樣的職位，得相近的薪金。

至於金錢以外，學問方面，又好像還沒有遇到一些後輩，可以將我的知識學說，發揚光大，流傳後世。

Paradox 5.2 | Meta-time 4.2 | Cumulative concept of time, 13.2 | Two dimensional time 4.1 | 二次元時間 4.1

In a “if and only if” case, there is no time.

If A is a necessary condition of B, we say “A is a cause of B“. In other words, A is in the past of B.

However, in some time travel story, it is “possible” to have both

A is a cause of B

(A is a necessary condition of B)

(B -> A)

and

B is a cause of A

(B is also a necessary condition of A)

(A -> B)

In this case, A and B are just equivalent.

(A B)

Neither is in the past of another. A and B have no causal relationship. In this sense, there is no time.
