Final Fantasy X

深淵 4

.

Shortly before arriving, Tidus learns that he, Jecht, and the Zanarkand they hail from are summoned entities akin to aeons based on the original Zanarkand and its people. Long ago, the original Zanarkand battled Bevelle in a machina war, in which the former was defeated. Zanarkand’s survivors became “fayth” so that they could use their memories of Zanarkand to create a new city in their image, removed from the reality of Spira. Once they reach Zanarkand, Yunalesca—the first summoner to defeat Sin and unsent ever since—tells the group that the Final Aeon is created from the fayth of one close to the summoner. After defeating Sin, the Final Aeon kills the summoner and transforms into a new Sin, which has caused its cycle of rebirth to continue. The group decides against using the Final Aeon, due to the futile sacrifices it carries and the fact that Sin would still be reborn. Yunalesca tries to kill Tidus’ group, but she is defeated and vanishes, ending hope of ever attaining the Final Aeon.

.

Intellect is invisible to those have none.

— Arthur Schopenhauer

.

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says is never accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something that he can understand.

— p.83

— Chapter XI. Socrates

— A History of Western Philosophy (1945)

— Bertrand Russell

.

（安：根據羅素的講法，有很多人學習深奧學問時，所謂的「明白」，未必是真正的明白，因為他們會不自覺地，把那些新知識，翻譯成自己明白的版本；即是夾硬用，舊知識的語言，以理解新知識。Paul Graham 說在小時候，曾經用這個方法，去學習數學；即是將數學概念，翻譯成日常生活的概念。）

.

他真的有講過嗎？

.

（安：我記得是。當然，我可以記錯。但是，有沒有講過，或者誰講過，並不是重點。重要的是，那些講法，有沒有道理。

後來他發現，學數學其實不應，用這個方法。其實，學其他專業，也應先破除，翻譯和簡化等習慣。

有些新概念是，純粹用一堆舊概念組裝而成，就可以用這個方法。但是，如果一個新概念中，有一些全新，即前無古人的元素時，翻譯必然有誤，理解一定有錯。堅持用舊世界的語言，去理解新天地，只會阻礙你，心靈的進化。

Everything which exists, exists either in itself or in something else.

That which cannot be conceived through anything else must be conceived through itself.

— Baruch Spinoza

.

另外，他提的另一個，有關學習數學的要點是，即使假設你在大學中，學到的數學，在日常生活中沒有用，單單是為獲取，那些嶄新的元素概念本身，就已經能夠令你有超能力；令你有一些，常人沒有的思考工具、比喻語言。）
