How big are the secret hands on the internet?

  


(An revised article)

 (2024.8.24)


The Song Dynasty was an absolutely sad dynasty.  Liang Qichao said that every time he read the history of the Song Dynasty, he would be extremely sad.


Wang Anshi is a rare reformer through the ages. He wants to reform and strengthen everything to build a new China.  But every reform he proposed met fierce opposition from the old party.  The old party spread all over the country, and Wang Anshi's new policies also required local officials of the old party to implement them.  They are all there everywhere in  upper and lower places. How can the New Deal be successful if the old party members were totally in control?


What Wang Anshi changed was the law, but he didn't mention the heart.  A reform requires a change of heart. Without the support of the people, relying on a mere decree is bound to fail.


But this heart is definitely not a momentary public opinion, or press opinion.  It is a comprehensive reform of the ideological system, a complete change of the world outlook and outlook on life.


On the other hand, Wang Anshi did not follow the popular line.  The masses have never been mobilized, and the trend of thought has not risen. How can bad habits be eliminated?  His reliance on a small number of officials and bureaucrats was also the reason for his failure.


In today's situation, the old party has become a secret underground party.  They secretly contacted the masses, took the mass line, and established a secret underground network. This underground party, from top to bottom, controlled the hearts of the people by invisible hands.  And this hand was stretched out from far away America.  The Americans once thought that Hong Kong could be dug out with just this hand.  They absolutely don't know that it is impossible for this secret hand to overthrow the tide.  The events in Hong Kong a few years ago made people aware of this sneaky hand.  Once the problem is known, there will be solutions.


One is the ideological system, the other is the mass line, and both are indispensable.

Regarding the secret mass line of the underground party, there is one thing that cannot be overlooked. This type of 'mass line' is nurtured in the shadows by the ocean-like internet. A certain singer's song suddenly becomes a huge hit. It is said that the online 'click rate' is astronomical. At first glance, it can be quite shocking. However, after some time, when one calms down and listens again, doubts begin to arise. Is that astronomical number real? Or has someone secretly manipulated the figures to create a false number and generate a negative atmosphere?

Problem may not be in the song itself. Problem is the secret promoter.

If this is indeed fabrication, the issue cannot be avoided. Just how much power does the underground party have on the internet?


From promoting indulgence to expressing helplessness, it raises further suspicion that the high-profile propaganda on the internet, along with countless small falsehoods, all serve the same purpose.




宋朝的新舊黨爭和今日有何不同?(2024.8.24修訂)


宋朝是一個絕對悲哀的朝代。梁啟超說,他每次閱讀宋史,都會大慟。

王安石是一個千古難得的改革家,他要變法圖強,建立一個新的中國。但是他所提出的每一項改革,都遭受到舊黨的激烈反對。舊黨遍佈全國,王安石的新政,也都需要舊黨的地方官去推行。上上下下,全是一丘之貉。苟且因循,新政怎可能成功?

王安石變的是法,但並沒有提到心。變法必先變心,沒有民心的支持,只靠一紙政令,必定失敗。

但這個心也絕不是一時的民意,或者輿論之類。而是思想系統的全盤改革,是宇宙觀和人生觀的徹底變更。

另一方面,王安石也沒有走民眾路線。群眾從未有動員起來,思潮未起,惡習怎能去除?他依賴少數仕大夫官僚,也是失敗的原因。

今日形勢,舊黨已經變成祕密的地下黨。他們在暗中聯絡群眾,走群眾路線,建立了暗中的地下網絡,這個地下黨,從上至下,民心受制於無形之手。而這隻手,是從遙遠的美國伸過來的。美國人曾經以為,只靠這隻手便可以把香港挖出去。他們絕對不知道,這隻秘密的手,是不可能推倒大潮流的。香港在幾年前的事變,使人覺察了這隻偷偷摸摸的手。問題知道了,必定有辦法的。

一個是思想系統,一個是群眾路線,兩者缺一不可。

關於地下黨的祕密群眾路線,還有一點是不可不留意到的。這一種「群眾路線」,是被海洋般的互聯網在陰暗中䕶育的。某一位歌手的歌,忽然大紅大紫。據説網上的「點擊率」是天文數字。初聽之下,有㸃震懾。但隔了一段時間,冷靜下來再聽,便開始產生了懷疑。到底那天文數字是真的?還是有人在暗中做了手腳,泡制一個假數字出來,制造負面氣氛?

問題未必在於這首歌。問題是底下的祕密力量在推動。

如果這是真的做假,問題就不宜迥避了。地下黨在互聯網中的勢力,到底有多大?

從鼓吹吃喝到宣講無奈,更令人懷疑,互聯網中的嚇人大宣傳,還有無量數的小虛假,都是同一目的。

王安石答司馬諫議書

(李察按:此文曾被不明來歴者暗中刪削。今再刊一次。2024.8.24)


某啟:

昨日蒙教,竊以為與君實游處相好之日久,而議事每不合,所操之術多異故也。雖欲強聒,終必不蒙見察,故略上報,不復一一自辨。重念蒙君實視遇厚,於反覆不宜鹵莽,故今具道所以,冀君實或見恕也。

蓋儒者所爭,尤在名實,名實已明,而天下之理得矣。今君實所以見教者,以為侵官、生事、征利、拒諫,以致天下怨謗也。某則以謂:受命於人主,議法度而修之於朝廷,以授之於有司,不為侵官;舉先王之政,以興利除弊,不為生事;為天下理財,不為征利;辟邪說,難壬人,不為拒諫。至於怨誹之多,則固前知其如此也。

人習於苟且非一日,士大夫多以不恤國事、同俗自媚於眾為善,上乃欲變此,而某不量敵之眾寡,欲出力助上以抗之,則眾何為而不洶洶然?盤庚之遷,胥怨者民也,非特朝廷士大夫而已。盤庚不為怨者故改其度,度義而後動,是而不見可悔故也。如君實責我以在位久,未能助上大有為,以膏澤斯民,則某知罪矣;如曰今日當一切不事事,守前所為而已,則非某之所敢知。

無由會晤,不任區區嚮往之至。

What is the most important issue?



Almost all the information is contained in this article. Not only is the political atmosphere clear, but even the underlying issue has emerged vividly. Normally, this kind of issue is not spoken of and is rarely acknowledged. However, with the current atmosphere, it forces you to accept it.

What is the most important issue?

Is it that university presidents were forced to resign?(a total of five) Is it that private online chats among several deans were unexpectedly discovered? With just one phrase—"Amazing is what $$$$ can do"—these deans were caught, compelled to take leave, and ultimately dismissed.

There is also the power to summon anyone for hearings at any time, where the inquiry is not about any wrongdoing but solely about your thoughts. Not even your thoughts, but merely the "tendencies" of your thoughts.

However—

Please note, the above is not the key point. The above is not important.

The key point is a matter of a thousand times greater importance.

This one monumental issue is far more significant than any other major international incident.

The entire global situation has already been turned upside down by this issue.

What issue?

That is: the secret powers controlled by Israeli consortiums have completely taken over the United States. Where the U.S. is heading has been clearly and definitively confirmed.

What direction?

To sever China's branches(Iran, Russia, etc.) piece by piece, stripping away its leaves(writers, artists,singers) and peeling off its soul(eating drinking playing and sex). Economic warfare comes first, with localized conflicts and wars running parallel, and the ultimate goal—

if you don’t believe it, that’s fine. 

Because you will no longer exist.





差不多所有的信息都在這篇文章裡面了。 不僅是政治氣氛,連潛在的真相都非常清楚的跳出來了。平常這種真相是沒有人說也不敢說的。但現在憑著這種氣氛的呈現,它會逼你接受的。

是甚麽真相呢?

是五位大學校長被逼辭職嗎?是幾個主任的私人網上聊天竟被發現了嗎?僅僅一句話:「有趣是$$$$可以做甚麽」,這些主任就被捉到了,被迫休假,最後還是解職。

還有那種可以隨時傳喚任何人來聆訊的權力,而所追查的並非你所犯何事,而只是你的思想。甚至不是你的思想,而僅僅只是你的思想的「傾向」。

但是 - - - -

請注意,以上並非要點。以上所言,全不重要。

要點是更重要一萬倍的大事。

這一件超大事件,比任何其他國際重大事件都重要得多。

全部的世界大局,都己經被這一件事扭轉。

那就是: 以色列財團所控制的秘密力量,己經完全掌握了美國。美國所行的方向,己經明確鐵定了。

甚麼方向?

削除中國的支幹(例如俄國和伊朗等等),一塊一塊的摘除樹葉(作家、藝術家、歌唱家),剝掉中國的靈魂。經濟戰爭在先,局部戰爭並行,最終目的,如果你不信,也無所謂了。

因為你己經不存在。

What will you do? If one of your arm is tied up by your enemy?



What will you do? If one of your arm is tied up by your enemy?


Now the US is attacking Russia with their Ukrainian soldiers.......


Its like attacking a tree.


Branches were cut away one by one.


There will be no branch and no leaves in the tree......


A writer is but one of the leaves.


But Iran, Russia, and etc. are branches.........


People can expect a day of no arm.


This is a missing point in the Art of War.












Why is it important to ban a reading tool in Hong Kong?

 Why is it important to ban a reading tool in Hong Kong?




I had invented a little tool for people to read faster.  I named the tool a "reading ruler"

It is a simple design to cover the places you have read,  just to keep your mind go forward together with the ideas from the writer.   You link up your idea with the book.  Just like running side by side together with your good friend.   

Readers are easy to tend to going backwards in reading.  Because they are scared.  They are afraid to miss the point of the writer. If they can cover the places they have already read,  then their mind will not be going backwards. And the "route" of the mind will be formed. 作者寫作要一氣呵成,讀者也同樣要一氣呵成。the writer writes in a spirit non-stop, same is the reader to have the spirit going non-stop.


It was such a simple design banned by the secret underground party which was and is  controling  the publishing kingdom of Hong Kong.


I had designed such a simple tool and written a little booklet to explain the reading methods.  I had the promise of the publishing house to sell this "reading ruler"  in Hong Kong by then.

I made the plastic ruler through a local factory and printed 5000 booklets.  The publish house had already accepted them.

I was very happy by then,  expecting some change in the reading minds.

It was like a huge strike when some worker from the publishing house sent the booklets and the reading rulers back to my place. They refused to sell it in Hong Kong.


They had banned it forever.


What does it mean?


When they are painting all Hong Kong red,  they were actually taking away the guts  from Hong Kong.


Same is Hong Kong nowadays.


The external shell is red.  But they would not allow writers  to survive.  The had controlled all mind businesses in Hong Kong by taking away the inner contents from them.

It is the same group of people now promoting a kind of  life style using 金庸 or "Wei Xiaobao" as a model to fix the minds of young people in Hong Kong plus "the world", as mentioned by them.


The shells are red,

fakes fed.

the cells are red,

inner cancer grows.


This is the situation of Hong Kong.


.............

how to improve reading and make it faster:





move the ruler down to cover the place you have read.  do not go back in reading.




Hope you enjoy reading,  if you can find one of my works in a Hong Kong book store.  Good luck to you.

a poem: Behind the light

 


The moon's phases, in ignorance, kindle thought

Clear light conceals poetic depths from behind

From a tranquil corner, the lunar soil is sought

Where the primal truth of time does unfold

(Translated into Classical British English with the help of AI)

月相無知啟亮思

清光背後意有詩

When you were at gunpoint of your enemy




The Iranians knew it better than many other people.

And you never know when will your enemy pull the trigger.

You can only panic,  and if you still have a little time,  you can read.

Read how the Percian defeated by the Greeks.
Its not a war between countries.

It is a war between cultures.

It is a war of philosophies more than guns.

All you need is a wake up from the sweet dream of the old days.

Gun points are only external threat.  If you can visualize the internal threat,  you are very likely the final winner.

We are all under some threats nowadays.  The internal one needs more attention.  They are utmost important.

Is Wei Xiaobao a "cool guy"?

 

殖民時期的香港,盡人皆知,有許多許多的「叻仔」。

這些「叻仔」都身光頸靚(這香港名詞,外邊人都知道。)  而且站出來像個「尖頭鰻」gentleman, 腦袋削尖,會鑽營,身軀滑滑的像條鰻魚,游走於官場商鋪,撈得風生水起。識撈何解?就是鑑貌辨色,捕捉空氣,趨吉避凶,見水發財。

這些叻仔們,通街通巷,觸目皆是。大家見到,都心知肚明,會心微笑。

肚是會「明」的麽?

自從韋小寶出現,叻仔們奔走相告。

也不知,到底韋小寶的老師,是不是即是殖民地叻仔?

韋小寶受寵於皇室,更受竉於隱隱現現的群中,有好戯看了。

正負面的中式思維,有何不同?

-

正負面的中式思維,有何不同?
(問到底 No。7030 2008 0513 Tuesday)


上周六的問題是:憤怒青年、維園阿伯、街坊組長、紅衛兵、香港叻仔和「我」之間,有甚麼相同與
不相同?


在外面人的眼界看,好像一樣。但其實,中國人的思維方式,有兩大類。


中式思維,有正面有負面。


正面的中式思維,以遠古神話和莊子為代表。發展到後來,就是紅樓夢的悲情,然後是孫中山的憤發。
然後就是得來不易,殖民老太爺們恨之刺骨的堀起的現代的富裕的新中國。這一種正面的生命力量,雖然屢受打擊,但從未斷絕。兩千年來,此起彼伏,聲音微弱,但生生不息。


負面的中式思維,就是從孔子、老子到偽莊子的一系列思維規範。日前提及:是非觀念的五種錯誤導向,僅是思維鐵軌。所有斷層人,只能依循這鐵軌思維。這是斷層人的思維特色。


至於供思維運行的鐵軌,舖在甚麼土地上?就是舖在孔子和偽莊子的命運觀念之上:一切命中注定,
只能無奈。


  古老神州是一塊大大的名叫作「無奈」的土地。而土地上,只有一條鐵軌。


若問,火車開往何處?可以孔子的一句話為代表:
「出則事奉公卿,入則事奉父兄。」永遠原地循環,保持穩定,絕對不出軌,也沒有其他目的。


* * *


前述的五種是非觀念,略為解釋如下:

  第一:否定是非。根本不認為有求知的必要。
(在孔子和老子的思想系統中,「知識」並無位置。孔子所謂「求學」,不過是重複溫習孔子的封建倫理道德。孔子從不理會現實環境中的任何問題。但正面的中式思維並不這樣:屈原徹底追問大自然的原理。莊子主張精研規律,以無厚入有間。對付大自然,是遊刃有餘。)


第二:如果要談是非,則世界上只有一是一非。忠君愛國的,就是「是」,其他就是「非」。
(孟子的文章,慷慨激昂,要人分清大是大非。但孟子的是非,並不是研究宇宙萬物的原理真相對錯,而是忠君愛國。孟子的好學生是岳飛和文天祥。)


第三:是非的唯一標準,掌握在長輩亦即官吏手中。
(儒學主張「無違」,亦即「聽話」,已經形成絕對的思維習慣。波斯人以閹人為師,中國人以吏為師,並不止於秦朝。「奉旨」、「聽命」,才是真理的標準。「以吏為師」,是兩千年來的痛苦困局。)


第四:把是非跟善惡等同。所有「是」的,就是好的,應該加以保護。所有「非」的,就是壞的,應該加以打擊。


第五:把是非作為分類的標準:所有同意我的,是自己人。所有不同意我的,就是敵人。

  1. 文章的思維,好似我的老師,我地的政府。

  2. 何謂精研規律? 精力研究各種事物的規律嗎? 這不是西方思想嗎?

  3. ★ 為甚麼「我們」偏多天災?

    ★ 如果天災碰上了奧運怎麼辦?

    ★ 莊子會怎樣解釋天災?

    親愛的李察先生,

    如你將會說一些懷疑是反中國, 反奧運, 之類的話, 好可能會害我們已後不能再看到你的文章了. ..










Is Wei Xiaobao a "cool guy"叻仔?


During the colonial era in Hong Kong, it was well known that there were many "cool guys".

These "cool guys" all had a good appearance 身光頸靚(this is a Hong Kong term, outsiders are all familiar with.) and stood out like a "gentleman", with a sharp head, adept at maneuvering, body sleek like an eel, navigating through officialdom and businesses, making a fortune. Knowing how to make a profit? It's about reading faces, sensing the atmosphere, seeking good fortune and avoiding bad luck, and getting rich.

These cool guys were everywhere, seen by everyone, and everyone knew exactly what they were about, sharing knowing smiles.

Can one really "know" the truth?

Ever since Wei Xiaobao appeared, the cool guys have been very excited and spreading the word quickly.

I wonder, could Wei Xiaobao's teacher possibly be one of the colonial cool guys? or vice versa?

Wei Xiaobao was favored by the royalty, and highly supported by the emerging and mysterious groups, it will provide more good entertainment later.

Old Text, New Interpretation

What are the differences between positive and negative Chinese thinking?
-

What are the differences between positive and negative Chinese thinking?
(Question No. 7030 2008 0513 Tuesday)

The question from last Saturday was: What are the similarities and differences between the angry youth, the elder in Victoria Park, the neighborhood leaders, the Red Guards, the Hong Kong cool guys, and "me"?

From an outsider's perspective, they all seem similar. But in reality, Chinese thinking can be divided into two major categories.

Chinese thinking has both positive and negative aspects.

Positive Chinese thinking is represented by ancient mythology and Zhuangzi. As it developed further, it became the tragic story of Dream of the Red Chamber, then the fervor of Sun Yat-sen. Following that was the hard-won prosperity of modern China that the colonial masters despised. This positive life force, though often battered, has never been extinguished. Over two thousand years, it has been rising and falling, with a faint voice but an enduring spirit.

Negative Chinese thinking follows a series of thought norms from Confucius, Laozi to pseudo-Zhuangzi. As mentioned before: the five erroneous orientations of the concept of right and wrong are just mental tracks. All fragmented individuals can only follow this line of thought. This is the characteristic of fragmented thinking.

And as for the tracks that guide this thinking, where are they laid? They are laid on the concepts of fate from Confucius and pseudo-Zhuangzi: everything is predetermined, and one can only resign to fate.

Ancient China is a land named "Wu Nai無奈(i can do nothing)". And on this land, there is only one track.

If one were to ask, where is the train heading? One can take Confucius's words as representation: "Serve the public officials when outside, serve the father and brothers when inside." Forever circling in place, maintaining stability, never derailing, with no other purpose.

* * *

The aforementioned five concepts of right and wrong are briefly explained as follows:

First: Deny right and wrong. There is fundamentally no need for seeking knowledge.
(In the thought systems of Confucius and Laozi, "knowledge" has no place. Confucius's so-called "learning" is merely a repetition of Confucian ethical values. Confucius never paid attention to any problems in the real environment. But positive Chinese thinking is not like this: Qu Yuan thoroughly sought the principles of nature. Zhuangzi advocated studying rules, entering the realm of existence from emptiness. Dealing with nature was effortless.) *refer to the Chinese test.

Second: In discussing right and wrong, there is only one right and one wrong in the world. Being loyal to the emperor and loving the country is "right", everything else is "wrong".
(Mencius's writings are passionate, urging people to distinguish between right and wrong. But Mencius's concept of right and wrong does not involve studying the principles and truths of the universe, but rather loyalty to the emperor and love for the country. Mencius's good students are Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang.)

Third: The only standard for right and wrong lies in the hands of the elders or officials.
(Confucianism advocates "no violation", that is, "obedience", which has become an absolute thinking habit. Persians have eunuchs as teachers, Chinese have officials as teachers, a practice not limited to the Qin Dynasty. "Following orders" is the standard of truth. "Taking officials as teachers" has been a painful dilemma for two thousand years.)

Fourth: Equate right and wrong是非 with good and evil善惡. 
(rigst and wrong = good and evil)
Everything that is "right" is good and should be protected. Everything that is "wrong" is bad and should be fought against.


Fifth: Use right and wrong 是非as the standard for classification: Those who agree with me are my own people. Those who disagree with me are enemies.

What is the essence of studying regulations? Is it about studying the regulations of various things? Isn't this a Western concept?

- Why are "we" more prone to natural disasters?
- What if a natural disaster occurs during the Olympics?
- How would Zhuangzi explain natural disasters?
Dear Mr. Li, if you are going to say something that may be suspected of being anti-China, anti-Olympics, etc., it is very likely that we may not be able to see your articles again in the future.

金庸能否代表中國文化


 最初,還以為香港提倡金庸,衹是提供一些娛樂,刺激一下經濟。能否真正刺激經濟在所不論,但看看這個聲勢,鋪天蓋地而來,報章和電視台,全情投入。似乎是一種政策已經形成。今時今日,孔子己經不合時宜。那麼,韋小寶可能更受歡迎些?

上面的剪報,令人深思。一群最有地位的文化頭領,一起站台,意味甚麼?

就是說一種政策已經形成了。

韋小寶也許是能夠代表一部分香港人的。善於鑽營,討好,圓滑,還要好色。這是中國文化麽?其實是太監文化。

韋小寶是金庸小説的結穴所在。相信不久的未來,就會納入中小大學教科書了。

香港在搞些什麼?真是越來越清楚了。



Will Wei Xiaobao and  eunuch culture be dominant?


At first, it was thought that Hong Kong promoting Jin Yong was just providing some entertainment, stimulating the economy a bit. Whether it can truly stimulate the economy is beside the point, but looking at this momentum, coming in like a storm, newspapers and TV stations are fully engaged. It seems like a certain policy has already taken shape. Nowadays, Confucius is no longer relevant. So, could Wei Xiaobao be more popular?


The above newspaper clippings are thought-provoking. A group of the most influential cultural leaders standing together, what does it signify?


It means a certain policy has already taken shape.


Wei Xiaobao may be able to represent a portion of Hong Kong people. Skilled at maneuvering, pleasing others, smooth-talking, and also lecherous. Is this Chinese culture? In fact, it is eunuch culture.


Wei Xiaobao is the crux of Jin Yong's novels. I believe in the near future, it will be included in textbooks of all schools.


Wei Xiaobao and  eunuch culture will be dominant.


What is Hong Kong up to? It's becoming clearer and clearer.

秦始皇怎會被騙?

 


     要騙過他,真是太容易了:




4/15/2015

秦始皇怎會被騙?

 



秦始皇是古往今來最精明最勤力的君主。當日的奏章,寫在竹簡上,大籮大籮的奏章,他都親自挑燈閱讀。幾乎不睡覺的秦始皇,怎麼可能被騙?

有一次,始皇出巡,遙見山下一隊豪華盛大的車騎,他問左右,是誰人的車騎。左右告訴他,是丞相李斯的車騎。始皇搖頭,說太過了。不久,始皇又在山上看見李斯的車騎。而車騎的規模,明顯減少。始皇大怒說:「此中人洩吾語!」到底誰是身邊奸細,把他的一言一語全部通報李斯?無法迫供。最後,他就只有把當日隨身的所有左右,都一一殺光。

這件事,刺激他極深。以後,他就把自己的行蹤隱藏了。修築了馳道。他各處巡行,車隊都秘密不讓人見到。

奇怪的是:他並沒有撤換丞相李斯。而且,以後更在最核心的地方,被李斯騙了。

這是一場精心策畫的騙案。但問題並不在於騙案的複雜,而在於另外的地方。

他欣賞韓非,看過韓非的書,認為是了不起的傑作。他說,如果能得與此人交遊,則死無憾。韓非是韓國公子,始皇於是發兵攻韓,目的就是搶奪韓非這人才。

後來韓非到手,一時不能重用,就聽信李斯的意見,把韓非下獄,到他後悔想放韓非出來,韓非已經被李斯害死。李斯是韓非的同學,才氣不及韓非,怕他爭奪自己的位置,就送毒藥害他。

韓非曾經提到一種非常極端的治國之道。他說:「太上禁其心,其次禁其言,其次禁其事。」(《說疑》四十四 ) 那就是說,獨裁統治的最佳辦法,第一是禁心,其次禁言。至於行為犯法之類,是第三重要的。這一種想法,導致以後兩千年的文化膨脹。但這是後話。而問題是,秦始皇這樣精明,怎會被騙?

韓非是中國的馬基維利,他發現了統治技術的絕對機密。秦始皇是第一個知曉有這個秘密存在的人。他看韓非的書,知道文章內裡尚有其他。於是他想盡方法,甚至不惜發動戰爭,羅致韓非。可惜他手下還有一個尚未撤換的李斯。

李斯用了最尋常的普通招數,就把秦始皇動搖了。

李斯對秦始皇說,韓非可能是敵方的臥底。這「可能」二字,送韓非入了監。

韓非的秘密,秦始皇始終無法到手。後來秦始皇想到,非要和韓非直接溝通不可。但韓非已經被李斯在獄中秘密殺死了。秦始皇只能永遠遺憾。李斯是最擅長抄襲的人,但抄襲者只能見表面文字,無可能真正明白。韓非死後,他書中的全部浮面點,都被李斯刮盡了。但李斯本人無藥可救,秦國也無藥可救。

秦始皇本來是沒有弱點的。他不縱情酒色,肯讀書,有智謀,精力過人。自信可以控制一切。秦政是探子滿天下,私隱不存在。但李斯在他眼皮底下活動,他不能察覺。韓非下獄,竟能被人擅自弄死。

歷史上有一種說法,說李斯日日輪流派各種假冒官職的朝廷大臣去訊問。韓非以為是陳情機會,但每次都只換來拷打。到秦皇派自己的親信去訊問韓非,希望溝通,韓非自然不會再說甚麼了。惡毒權謀,通常出在沒有制度的地方。黑獄最深之處,更是權謀最囂張之地。或以為牢獄只是囚禁罪犯的小工具,毋須制度。但偏偏最重要的關鍵在此。控制不足,要靠制度、、、這是韓非的觀點。至於韓非帶來的小小機會,秦始皇是永遠得不到的。

而問題不在於李斯是否比秦始皇更聰明,而是,精明的秦始皇,怎會被騙?而歷史規律也很清楚:就算他能像劉備三顧草蘆,邀請諸葛亮出關,他也真的得到了韓非,除去了李斯,改以韓非為秦國丞相,秦國也仍是無藥可救的。為甚麼?

為甚麽秦國仍然是無藥可救?

因為,秦始皇心中的全幅畫面,都是錯的。 

用今日的通俗說話:他是人生觀錯了,世界觀錯了,宇宙觀錯了。他心中的畫面全圖,都是黑色的。

表面看,只是小小自私。而自私是人都會有的,不足為奇的。家天下的想法,以為秦國可能維持永遠,以至於秦萬世,到底問題何在?

問題是:正面的全景畫面,為何不可能在他眼底出現?

他好比來到山最高的地方。左邊是黑色的,右邊是白色的。為何他只會滑行到黑色的一邊,根本不知道有白色的一邊存在?為何他只會看到一條唯一的死亡之路?

生路明明存在,為甚麼看不見?

到底是真的有這另一條路嗎?

人口問題,是甚麼問題?

(問到底 No.7109 2008 0731 Thursday)


馬爾薩斯(Thomas Robert Malthus, 1766-1834)
是第一個提出人口問題的學者。他認為,人口是以「幾何級數」增加的,而食物是以「算術級數」增加的。所以,糧食生產,永遠追不上人口增長。因此,會有大大的災難。不過,今日的青年人不會知道,何謂「幾何級數」,何謂「算術級數」。或者,我們應該改換一
種敘述方式:


  人口增長,是按乘數方式增加的。而糧食增長,是按加數方式增加的。


  如果人口增長是 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 = 32


那麼,糧食增長是 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10


問題是:馬爾薩斯的問題,是甚麼問題?


  當然,許多人會立刻指出他的「錯誤」,然後,把他的警告置之不理。


  就像我們中國。


  提出同樣警告的人口學者馬寅初,在文革中慘受批判,下場十分悲慘。結果,到人口當真暴增的時候,再來嚴厲的節育,已經失去不少時間。


  最近香港的信報(2008.7.29),有一整版篇幅,
說馬爾薩斯的陰魂未散,而且指出,馬爾薩斯反對救濟窮人,因為,他認為扶貧是干擾了自然規律云云。


..............................


  到底人口問題,是甚麼問題?


  或者,我們可以嘗試從另一角度看(先不要大批判?)


  第一個問題:人口因何暴增?


  馬爾薩斯的時代,工業革命尚未發生。他說,人口增加,是男女兩性交接的結果。


  但是,我們看到的,卻稍稍不同。工業革命之前,石油文化之前,男女兩性的交接相同,但人口並未暴增。沒有十億十億那樣的暴增。


  是人類的石油文化,造就了一種比較適宜的生存環境,使人口暴增。


  馬爾薩斯認為,戰爭,天災,人禍,甚至屠殺,都可能減少人口。


  其實不然。以上的災難,只能減少小量人口。抗戰八年,中國只減少人口兩千萬。文革十年,也只能減少兩千萬。根本於事無補。而且,戰爭和災荒激發了人類的生存鬥志,災難一過,人口立即倍增。


  第二個問題:人口能否人為控制?


  在一個國家之內,人口或能以節育方式稍為控制。但人口不可能在全球範圍控制。而且,無論如何
控制,不可能回復工業革命之前的數字。當地球人口在極短期間,從六億增長到六十六億,不可能一下子回落。


  第三個問題:如果人口是因為石油文化造就了適宜的生存環境,當石油用盡的時候,人口會不會因為經濟崩潰而大規模迅速損失?


  李察的預測是不會。


  人口增長是因為「石油文化」,而不是「石油」。
石油用盡會導致經濟崩潰,這是肯定的。但經濟崩潰未必會導致人口大規模回落。因為,人是會應變的。
代替石油的用品,會迅速出現。如果沒有新的代替品,舊的代替品也會出場(例如煤。地球上的煤尚可用一百五十年。)至於其他例如氫氣,核子動力,甚至沼氣,太陽能,電能,都是可用的代替品。


  人類很可能以苟殘殘喘的方式,以更大的污染形式,等待一種陰暗的未來前景。


  第四個問題:我們有希望嗎?


   答案是有。


   石油文化,造就了比較適宜的短期生存環境。好比你在小型金魚缸中,以高壓加氧的方式,養育了大量金魚。但這是短期性質的。如果氧氣輸送不足,就會產生大問題。  


  我們的唯一希望,是文化轉型。要創造一種全新的思想網絡,在一種寬鬆的,自由的,充滿了愛心的環境中,尋找新的思維方式。


  要投放鉅量的心力。


  主要的精力,必須用在這一方面。這就是我們的希望。



後記(2024):

本文沒有提及人口老化的問題。
文化進步,生活舒適,壽命延長,本來都是好事。

但是,負面的享樂情緒,使人們重視性愛而忽略情感,其實即是重視物質而忽略心靈。

有什麼問題呢?

渾渾噩噩,無知無覺,有甚麽問題?

有性無愛,人們以無愛之性為樂,以生育為苦,都不生孩子了。工業文明,人們「自由」抉擇,只為掙錢,不問將來了。

怎樣解決? 

答案雖然有,但無人理會。
