艾瑪韋伯斯特：那個想法可能會讓你思考｜洛杉磯 (EMMA WEBSTER : THAT THOUGHT MIGHT THINK | LOS ANGELES)
- It's just this kind of primordial soup of I'll do a drawing and then decide to cut it out, scan it, sort of superimpose it.
我畫了一幅畫，然後決定把它剪下來、掃描、疊加，就是這樣一種原始的 "湯"。
- It's just this kind of primordial soup of I'll do a drawing and then decide to cut it out, scan it, sort of superimpose it.
但這一切都如同一個陰暗的涼爽花園，有著日蝕般的燈光。
思想史：餐桌禮儀的演變！ (HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners)
- Rousseau now contrasts favourably with modern mannered people. Rousseau tells us that people living in what he calls the state of nature were, in his eyes, far superior to educated and mannered Parisians. Their manners may have been simple, but they were honest and forthright, without the sins of what he now terms the over-civilised. Rousseau retells the story of civilisation as one of loss and decline, from a primordial state of fresh-faced curiosity, honesty and enthusiasm, to barbarous over-politeness, fakery and deceit. He describes the elaborate French court at Versailles as less civilised than an early human cave. Readers across Europe are astonished, and not a little impressed, by this impudence. For hundreds of years, moralists have been arguing that our natural selves are wild, harmful, over-sexual and dangerous, and that we must learn to tame them for the sake of others. Now Rousseau suggests the diametrical opposite. Civilisation has gone too far, it's our mannered selves that have become the problem, and the task of a properly evolved civilisation is to throw off the chains of manners, to relax us, strip off the etiquette and return to primitive frankness. Rousseau's point continues to echo down to our own times. It is his voice we can hear whenever someone sticks up for the simpler life, and suggests we dress less formally, eat dinner more casually and more readily say whatever is passing through our minds. New York, United States, 1827. A French aristocrat, Alexis de Tocqueville, is on a tour of the young United States in an effort to understand the spirit of a new kind of society, a democracy. He is immediately struck by American manners, or lack thereof. In Europe, reflects de Tocqueville, manners have been codified to emphasise hierarchical differences between people. Ordinary people defer to aristocrats, aristocrats to royalty, and so on. But in the United States, everything is done so as to suggest that there are no differences between people. No one takes off their hat to anyone, a postman can casually greet a judge, a mule driver can strike up cheerful banter with a wealthy merchant, and one cannot tell by someone's clothes whether they might be living in a mansion or a hut. Expressions like how you doing and hi are heard everywhere across the new republic. It could be charming, but the aristocratic de Tocqueville wryly notes a problem. These casual manners do not do away with class and wealth differences. They merely sentimentally disguise them. The manners of old Europe have been accused of being cruel in their stress on hierarchy.
現在，盧梭與現代舉止得體的人形成了鮮明的對比。盧梭告訴我們，在他眼中，生活在他所稱的自然狀態下的人們遠比受過教育、舉止得體的巴黎人優越。他們的舉止或許簡單，但他們誠實、直率，沒有他現在所說的過度文明人的罪惡。盧梭重述了文明的失落和衰落，從最初的好奇、誠實和熱情，到野蠻的過度禮貌、虛假和欺騙。他描繪了凡爾賽宮的精緻法國宮廷，其文明程度還不如人類早期的洞穴。整個歐洲的讀者都為這種厚顏無恥的行為感到震驚，同時也留下了深刻的印象。數百年來，道德家們一直在論證，我們的天性是狂野的、有害的、過度的性慾和危險的，為了他

史蒂芬霍金關於黑洞和暗物質的理論被推翻了！ (Stephen Hawking theory about black holes and dark matter is RULED OUT)
- Some of this primordial soup was denser in parts, and he claimed that in some parts it could have been dense enough that these regions collapsed in on themselves and formed miniature black holes smaller than a tenth of a millimeter.
他聲稱，在這些原始湯液中，有些部分密度較高，有些部分的密度可能足以讓這些區域塌陷，形成小於十分之一毫米的微型黑洞。

這些物質的品質仍然很重，如果有足夠多的這樣的物質形成，那麼就可以解釋我們看不到的85%的品質，也就是暗物質。
真愛的印記... (The Mark of True Love...)
- We humans have an immense appetite for complicated things, neuroscience, astrophysics and molecular biology of course, but also barely decipherable books, abstract works of art and avant-garde pieces of theatre without plot or character, all of which perhaps evoke the primordial puzzles of the universe and our own always ineffable existence within it. But our veneration for complexity can reach a most painful, time-consuming and futile zenith in one area in particular – relationships. It's here that we find otherwise discerning and hard-headed people exhibiting extreme patience, often lasting over a succession of tormented years, for what we can call complicated situations. The complexities may arise from some of the following dynamics. A beloved partner who wants to commit and surely will one day but not quite yet on account of this or that factor or not entirely because of certain psychological fears or not conclusively or at least not without certain important caveats. They may need space, freedom or what they call a chance to explore though quite what was still not wholly clear, though we have asked them on many occasions. Then a partner with whom there are a lot of misunderstandings, around whom words often lose their standard meanings, around whom we may have to spend hours untangling what was truly meant and around whom gestures or deeds that we previously thought uncontentious suddenly become the occasion for major surprising aggravations. Or a partner who in principle is there for us and in theory loves us very very much but in actuality – like last week and the week before that – is constantly remarkably busy, unable to respond to our texts, out with their compelling friends or concentrated on their always extremely demanding job. Or a partner with whom we sit up late at night on many occasions with a pad and paper to hand attempting to determine where the issues are coming from, what is at play and how things might be handled before, baffled and upset, we finally have to retreat to bed a little after 1am feeling fragile and tearful.
我們人類對複雜的事物有著巨大的慾望，當然包括神經科學、天體物理學和分子生物學，但也包括幾乎無法解讀的書籍、抽象的藝術作品和沒有情節或人物的前衛戲劇作品，所有這些或許都讓人聯想到宇宙的原始謎題以及我們自身在宇宙中始終難以言喻的存在。但是，我們對複雜性的崇尚在一個領域會達到最痛苦、耗時和徒勞的頂峰，這個領域就是人際關係。在這裡，我們會發現那些原本明察秋毫、鐵石心腸的人表現出了極度的耐心，往往要持續數年之久，以應對我們可以稱之為複雜的情況。這種複雜性可能源於以下一些動態因素。心愛的伴侶想要承諾，而且有朝一日肯定
- All of which perhaps evoke the primordial puzzles of the universe—and our own, always ineffable existence within it.
一切都需要艱苦的努力。正因為這一切常常是如此正確，所以我們才會注意到，在其他一些場合，這一切已不再是如此正確。當某些關於努力的理智的咒語微妙而危險地變成了對完全不適合相愛的人忍耐的藉口時。
