2006又是新年。念大事小事无能耐，唯有东拉西扯。扯到哪是哪，你我大家无牵挂。
现在录音书籍多起来了，我也慢慢有了一个paradigm change。读书太辛苦，听书的时代到来了。书每个月还在累积，可是读的能力却每况愈下。注意力跨度越来越短。这本读几页，那本翻几纸。眼球越来越成为稀缺资源，以耳代眼的趋势看来不可避免。读书难解，常常迫使你放下书本；而听书你却能让录音继续下去，有听没听的，捞着什么是什么，大不了睡将过去，有兴趣掉头在听。读书全靠自己努力，按自己步伐。听书则有放音器喂你的耳朵，它拖着你坚持下去。听书有听书的好处。
用眼睛过书，辛苦；用耳朵过书容易多了。所以我想听书的会越来越多，读书的会相对而少。读书人变成听书人了。不知国内录音图书的发展怎么样，市场该是很大的。
落魄的演员们，现在也多了一碗饭：把书本声化。也许以后的作者根本就不用写了，直接录音，然后再蒙太奇一下。
推而广之，这不过是人民要懒惰的历史趋势的一小方面而已。

人是一种方向性动物。人没有方向就会不知所措，甚至闹出种种精神病来。
我常常听人感叹，说自己不知道自己想干什么做什么。每当这种时候，我就显出自己是有所最求的，是知道前头的路的。好比群氓们在交叉路口不知方向时，我就编排出有先见的样子：“望西走，黄泉路！”群氓们露出羡慕的眼色。
人要有方向，这不仅是一种精神需求，这是直接扎根于人的生理需求的。不要说醒着的时候，睡觉时脑子里还需要有方向才能渐入睡乡。比如我要有所思，才能罔入睡的境界。如果脑子里空无一物，精神反而不安而亢奋。
是不是莱布尼茨说的，“大自然畏惧虚空”？
大部分群氓是需要别人给方向的，我想那些领袖人物大概是生下来就有方向基因的，或者有某种顽固基质，比如马丁路德等等。阿赣也是有领袖素质的，它能从足球场笔直跑到天边而不动摇。
重要的是有方向，方向正确与否是次要的，就像小便急的时候尿桶在哪里是次要的。从近代讲起，什么纳粹共产自由民主反堕胎反恐，主要的功能就是提供方向。
圣经上，小红书上写的是什么是次要的，重要的是经，是收敛群氓胡思乱想的套子。把圣经小红书颠倒过来读其功能完全是一样的。
Dammit! I lost my track. :)

BLOGGING不是我所能干的事。我也没心思去访问别人的BLOG。敢BLOGGING者，都认为自己有别人感兴趣的东西要说，我则没有。自己感兴趣者，不足为奇。想想要在广漠的网络宇宙芸芸众声中再加进自己的嗓音，futile, futile。
如果老子，莎士比亚，爱因斯坦等在网上做BLOGGING，我也断不会去看。太稀释了。别的那就更不用讲了。What nerve, what nerve! :)
网上幽魂亿万个，不觉得吵？听那个哭泣？
朋友间闲话，是另一码事。东拉西扯也。 - Re: 銆愪笢鎷夎タ鎵�態LOGGINGposted on 01/05/2006
原来是这样啊。

Hehehe... I love 东拉西扯 too.
Are you saying that human beings must have a sense of purpose, even though there is no universal purpose? I guess that is a price to pay when the brain of a specis is too evolved.
I always think it is dangerous for ones ambition to exceed ones capability. Lately I realize it is also dangerous for ones capability to exceed ones ambition. When you are on the top, you tend to lose your 方向, while your position/throne is everybody else's 方向, and there is no gracious exit available.
Of course I am not in a position to worry about that now.:-)

You're right. It is a very relevant issue for people as individual and as community. But I'll save for other 东拉西扯. - Re: 銆愪笢鎷夎タ鎵�戞柟鍚戞�у姩鐗�posted on 01/06/2006
其实BLOG就是自己以为有意思的东西记记，以后或许有用，就这么简单。 - Re: 銆愪笢鎷夎タ鎵�戞柟鍚戞�у姩鐗�posted on 01/06/2006

我想BLOGGER脑子里都很清楚：BLOG主要是记给别人看的，是不是？:)

我是给自己看的，至少。但是反正没有隐私，别人看看也无妨。 - Re: 銆愪笢鎷夎タ鎵�戞柟鍚戞�у姩鐗�posted on 01/07/2006
小马你放心写吧。你是一个实在的人，从来没有在你的文字中发现丁点pretension,这是最好不过的了。这太重要，需要重复一下：这是最好不过的了。事实上我已把你介绍给我大学的同班同学，说你是我所看到的最有思想的一位女性。
你的东西，很有嚼头。很能让我看呆过去。

没有拉。大家都是兴之所至才说说，我也是阿。
对了我真觉得马太很好阿。不过太长，头太多，需要时间 - Re: 銆愪笢鎷夎タ鎵�戞柟鍚戞�у姩鐗�posted on 01/10/2006

Hi MA Huiyuan,
I read LIAO Kang's review (http://archives.cnd.org/HXWK/author/LIAO-Kang/kd070712-3.gb.html) of your book on music and can't wait to get a copy. I found it from a couple of websites in China but I don't trust the security measures of them -- I'm myself a computer programmer specializing in network security. For example, I have hard evidence by personal experience (long story if you like to listen) that dangdang.com is VERY insecure. Tonight I happily found your book on joyo.com, aka amazon.cn, claimed to be Amazon's outlet in China, and thought that should provide some security guarantee. However, my web browser warned me my credit card info will be transmitted in plain text, i.e. not encrypted, when I hit the "pay" button. So much so for my online shopping experience from Chinese retailers. I'm wondering if I can buy a copy from you? I will be happy to send a check to you. I live in Pittsburgh and can be reached by email czang@panasas.com. Thanks for writing a good book (according to LIAO Kang. I don't know him personally. I'm a big fan of his reviews of movies and his writings on language :) Have a good day.

这个老氓怎么不来了，很是挂念。非常赞同他下面的看法。

我也最喜欢东拉西扯了，反正写出来又不为了谁，又不是要上报纸杂志，爱怎么写怎么写。
gadfly说到blogger的装模作样，让我不好意思了，我可是有三个博客哦，是不是太自恋了一点？需要检讨了。
