浅谈《摩登智慧》播客、活着的哲学家Derek Sivers和招聘翻译
Picture之前推荐过《Modern Wisdom 摩登智慧》这档播客。我当时因为主播Chris Williamson的颜值和身材开始收听,后来更是发现他性感的英音背后藏着满满的智慧。 这档播客的嘉宾阵容十分广泛,前一期还是哲学家探讨生命的意义,下一期就是色情演员分享拍摄经历;有学者和科学家分析当前政治形势和研究报告,也有影视和体育明星讲述圈子里不为人知的故事... 这周《摩登智慧》播客迎来了500期的里程碑,主播Chris分享了他在过去500期节目中从嘉宾身上学到的道理,简单总结一下: 1. 海豹突击队教员Jocko Willink:勇敢不是一种积极的情绪,而是一种心怀恐惧却依然付诸行动的举动。动力也是如此,你可能感受不到内心的驱动力,但你依然去做应该做的事情了,这也可以称之为动力。所以,动力是短暂的,自律才是永恒的。关键是要迈出行动的脚步,记住耐克的标语「JUST DO IT!干就是了」。 2. 作家Gurwinder Bhogal:人们持有看似荒谬的意识形态和宗教信仰并不是真的相信它们,而是为了能够融入特定的群体,不被排挤或孤立。 3. 举重教练Zack Telander...
从禅修谈起...
上个月和Chiwi Journal的嘉宾Richard Reis录了一期关于禅宗冥想的播客,这会儿他完整的写下了四个月的修行体会,简单翻译总结一下: 1. Richard一直着迷于史蒂夫·乔布斯的早年经历,他发现乔布斯尝试过多种冥想体验,追随大师去印度修行,甚至还采取极端的饮食并加入了嬉皮公社。后来乔布斯在禅宗中找到他苦苦追寻的灵性体验。无论是他的极简主义美学,还是后来在禅宗老师见证下的婚姻,禅宗贯穿于乔布斯的生活中。为了弄清楚禅宗的基本概念,Richard前往Mountain Cloud Zen Centre进行了为期四个月的闭关修炼,每天打坐两小时,由禅宗老师Henry Shukman直接教导,以下是他对于禅宗的洞见。 2. 禅宗和所有类型的冥想修行一样,体验因人而异,也收获了毁誉参半的评价。尤其对于初学者来说,禅宗模棱两可的说教,以及充满悖论的理念常常让人摸不着头脑。但是禅宗也因为其简单性(日式禅宗过滤掉很多中印佛教中常常出现的图腾和过于玄学的东西,所以你看不到因果报应和脉轮重生等概念),而拥有广泛的群众基础。日式禅宗只关注一件事,那就是训练你的思想。 3. 如果把禅宗比作...

Time is one of the common themes from ancient Chinese mythology and historical books.
For example, the Monkey King from Journey to the West only went to Heaven for ten days as a horse trainer. When he returned to his hometown Mount Huaguo he realised that many years had passed on earth. Just like an old Chinese saying goes, "one day in heaven equals one year on earth".
According to Book of the Later Han, a woodcutter saw two men playing chess on his way to work in a mountain. So he stopped over and watched the game. All of a sudden, he realised the grip of his axe had rotted off, and when he returned home, he found that a hundred years had passed since he left.
I was always fascinated with those Chinese stories since I was little. Every time I indulged myself in books or video games, time seemed irrelevant to me anymore. I opened a portal to time travel to another reality where I followed my interest to learn, feel and grow.
In 1733, the Irish novelist Samuel Madden published Memoirs of the Twentieth Century, about a guardian angel who travels back to 1728 with letters written in 1997 and 1998. This book is considered to be the earliest novel about time travel in western literature.
In 1895, British novelist Herbert George Wells' science fiction The Time Machine popularised the idea of time travelling. In 1921, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was notable as the first film adaptation of Mark Twain's novel and the second film about time travel to the past (after The Ghost of Slumber Mountain).
The End of Eternity, published in 1955 by American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov was regarded by sci-fi fans worldwide as the ultimate time travel classic in the 20th century.
In the 1980s, James Cameron directed The Terminator, and Robert Zemeckis launched the Back to the Future series, together ignited the passion about time travel among the public.
Fast forward to today's world, Tenet by Christopher Nolan and Netflix show Dark sparked my interest towards time again. Although it's almost like a mission impossible for me to figure out about TIME with my limited knowledge, I'd like to dig into different mediums to explore this nebulous yet relevant concept to our lives.
So, what's TIME? No one can give a definite answer.
Einstein once said, the distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion; Nietzsche believed that time is an eternal cycle where past, present and future are interconnected to form an endless loop. Nowadays, we treat time as a unit of measurement or a product of capitalism to increase productivity.
In the Buddism Sutra, the 'present moment (当下)' is the smallest unit of time --- 1-second equals 3,600 present moments. The 'past' is just a series of memories woven by the human mind (its accuracy is questionable); The 'future' is full of unknown and uncertainty, with death as our ultimate destination. Only the present moment, the 1-second we noticed, is what we really have.
Living in the present moment means experiencing the most real time.
Recently, I had my first psychedelic experience with the Grandfather plant, San Pedro, at The Lighthouse Retreat.
2 trips in 4 days let me ‘saw’ the TIME in another dimension. Language could be too weak to describe something overpowering magnificent. Here is my attempt to record the visions and insights from this expeirence: Eighty-four thousand thoughts and ideas, Landscape transformation in the whirligig of time, Everything is evolving and decaying in front of my eyes. Vivid Colours dancing along with the music of nature, Infinite fractals emerging and disappearing like the Mandelbrot set and Mandala of Sanskrit. Like Van Gogh’s painting in a tangible form. Ram Dass’s message comes into my mind, “We’re all just walking each other home”. We are nameless and formless, We are a pixel and we are a Buddha, Was vernünftig ist, das ist wirklich, We’re loved just for being who we are, just for existing. Let’s accept ourselves and others in full, Try not to control, try not to force, try to surrender to the power of the universe. Time and space are a total illusion. The reality doesn’t seem like what we see. To see beauty, use our heart, not our eyes. Feel, and we shall know. Seek, and we shall find. I rise above the earth and travel through abstract concepts and patterns. A snap of the finger is the moment of eternity. I could have lived forever in that dazzling and wonderful dream, But your sweet smile pulls me back to the material world. Remember, remember, Life is the eighth wonder. When we genuinely want something, The whole universe is always on our side.
Ted Chiang brought up the concept of 'mastering a language, and you'll see the world differently' in his sci-fi novella Story of Your Life. The heroine learned to understand the alien's language, which allowed her to 'see' her whole life. Ludwig Wittgenstein's famous quote, "the limits of my language mean the limits of my world," also serve the same meaning.
What does time mean in your language?
I can't help but ask.
Is it possible that people who speak more than one language can see a different world or better understand the concept of time? Is it possible that the German language has something to do with so many great thinkers and philosophers from Germany? Or there is no such cause-and-effect relationship, just my brain trying to trick me by summing up the pattern in a presumptuous way?
Back to my favourite TV show Dark, the theme is man's understanding of the world is nothing but a drop in the ocean.
Perhaps the unknown is the best gift the universe has given to our human beings. So we can go ahead and experience and explore everything and live our life to our standard of fullness.
