Inception

Christopher Nolan 3

.

Nolan worked on the script for nine to ten years. When he first started thinking about making the film, the director was influenced by “that era of movies where you had The Matrix, you had Dark City, you had The Thirteenth Floor and, to a certain extent, you had Memento too. They were based in the principles that the world around you might not be real“.

Time Mind I

.

我最核心的興趣是:

1. 什麼是時間? What is Time? –> So I study Physics.

2. 什麼是心靈? What is Mind? –> So I study Psychology.

3. 什麼是自我? Who am I? –> So I study Philosophy.

以上是我十八歲時所想的。

思考過多

.

思考過多,產生很多問題,所以要想很多方法去解決那些的問題。

其他人習慣不思考,那就不會有那麼多的問題,所以毋須想很多方法去對付那些問題。

勇者

.

「勇者無懼」是錯的。

沒有恐懼,就毋須勇氣。

恐懼是勇氣的先決條件。

「勇氣」的意思是,即使恐懼也堅持完成任務。

Job: Joy

M: 我現在的生活,過得幾有意義。除了是收入過少之外,都沒有什麼缺點,因為很少人的工作生活,是令到身邊的人開心。

O: 你說得對。

M: 大部分人的工作,是令到身邊的人不開心 …

O: … 和令到自己不開心。

Meta 轉捩點

.

O: 你是我人生的轉捩點。

M: 其實,這是「互為轉捩點」。因為如果不是你說我是你人生的轉捩點,我都不會知道自己是轉捩點。「知道『自己是別人人生的轉捩點』」這一點,本身是我的轉捩點。

興趣

.

一個對什麼事都感興趣的人
常常注意人生旅程中的各種時機,
很少會錯過什麼。
即使在短暫的人生中,
也能掌握豐富的探索成果。

Philosophy

.

What philosophy books would you recommend?

I can’t think of any I’d recommend. What I learned from trying to study philosophy is that the place to look is in other fields. If you understand math or history or aeronautical engineering very well, the most abstract of the things you know are what philosophy is supposed to be teaching. Books on philosophy per se are either highly technical stuff that doesn’t matter much, or vague concatenations of abstractions their own authors didn’t fully understand (e.g. Hegel).

Nerd 3

.

As a thirteen-year-old kid, I didn’t have much more experience of the world than what I saw immediately around me. The warped little world we lived in was, I thought, the world. The world seemed cruel and boring, and I’m not sure which was worse.

Because I didn’t fit into this world, I thought that something must be wrong with me. I didn’t realize that the reason we nerds didn’t fit in was that in some ways we were a step ahead. We were already thinking about the kind of things that matter in the real world, instead of spending all our time playing an exacting but mostly pointless game like the others.

Product

.

I think the solution is to assume that anything you’ve made is far short of what it could be. Force yourself, as a sort of intellectual exercise, to keep thinking of improvements. Ok, sure, what you have is perfect. But if you had to change something, what would it be?

If your product seems finished, there are two possible explanations: (a) it is finished, or (b) you lack imagination. Experience suggests (b) is a thousand times more likely.

筆墨

.

刀槍能夠殺人,筆墨可以救人,人類的社會因為有了傳媒人類才真正溝通成為一個體系。試想過去人類的歷史社會在未有傳媒的時期,人類的社會是多麼的黑暗,人類的認知是如何單薄。各位傳媒朋友,請繼續你們有建設性的工作,只要你秉承良知,人類的社會就會因傳媒而進步。我懷念你,我會在另一個世界向你揮手。
