很爱思考，最近正在想怎么能在国内带仓鼠坐高铁。但我并不在国内，也不养仓鼠，甚至不打算坐高铁。只是单纯喜欢动脑子。

上周打壁球，后撤时步子没跟住，跌了个屁股堆儿。现在有个和金英惠胎记一样的淤青，对着镜子看的时候突然理解了画家姐夫。

Brilliant interview. Here is my favorite part:

Zhong Shu: “One thing that captured me was that the concept of atonement doesn't exist in Greek culture. It doesn't exist in the Greek language. It doesn't exist in Homer's Odyssey. It exists in your Odyssey.

So I guess a natural question that I had when watching the film was: did you Christianize The Odyssey? Why did atonement become important with the coming of catastrophe?”

Christopher Nolan: “I think it's a really good question. I wasn't too conscious of how I was approaching it philosophically, other than that I really honed in on the idea of what's termed xenia. In the film, we call it Zeus's law for simplicity.

But it's that idea of mutual respect: that I treat you the way I want to be treated. In their theology, it's because you might be a god in disguise. So I really drilled down on that, and I started to realize that, for me, a lot of what's interesting about the interaction of history and mythology is this idea of the Sea Peoples—the people from the sea who were thought to have precipitated the Bronze Age collapse. It's one of the great mysteries of history: who were they?

The idea that, really, a violation of xenia, a violation of Zeus's law—which is what the suitors are doing in the palace—is causing this difficulty, this damage.

I think the idea of atonement, in a way, is what we bring as viewers to the story. I don't know whether there really is atonement in the film, or whether we just feel that that's the catharsis, or that's the process we're seeing in the final meeting that we've waited for between Odysseus and Penelope. But I think, in a way, we may be bringing our more modern sensibility to that.

It's a very interesting question. Insofar as it's there, it's not a deliberate attempt to, for example, Christianize it. It's an outgrowth, or a natural conclusion, of burrowing in on this philosophical idea of what happens when you break Zeus's law.”

Zhong Shu: “I guess, from what you're saying, the connection between atonement—which is the perspective of a Christian world—and xenia, which is the perspective inherent in the Greek world, is that what connects them is the fact of war. What is the response to war?

You still want to say that the presentation is inherent in the Greek mythological worldview: that war happened when hospitality, or xenia, was broken.”

Christopher Nolan: “I think so. Sometimes it's difficult to draw a line. I think academics are often perhaps too dogmatic in drawing a line between different philosophies as they evolve historically, because I think I was more interested in commonalities.

One of the things I found is that once you ignore the theological underpinning of xenia, what you realize is that it is what we, in modern terms, call the Golden Rule. This idea of treating others as you would be treated has never really changed over time. The reasons that we try to hold people to that might have changed, but the idea itself hasn't changed.

What I came to think is that what the poem, to me, is saying—or inspiring in me—is the idea that civilization depends on this rule, and possibly is even defined by it. To me, that was a really interesting thing to realize. This ancient text, to me, speaks directly to the modern world because I think we live in a world where the concept of xenia, the concept of mutual respect, is more challenged than it's ever been, in more obvious ways than ever. I think we see the negative effects of that in terms of what defines civilization and what binds us together.”

不吃碳水，且以此作为个人标签而展开生活的人有一种特殊气质。就像以“cat person”自居的人一样。但这两者的气质不太相同。

这个世界是老鼠组成的，鸟是长翅膀的老鼠，松鼠是大尾巴的老鼠，鱼是没腿的老鼠，蜥蜴是没毛的老鼠，鱼是水里的老鼠，小鼠是小的大鼠，大鼠是大的小鼠，人是没尾巴的的大老鼠。

寂静圣诞🎄🕸️

[蚕花 @CainHuaZ]

最近喜事多，想用味道记忆来anchor happy moments，以便在迷茫时用香气把自己拉出泥淖。闯进香水店讲明诉求，抱回一瓶bibliothèque，临走前售货员追加一管试用：I think you’ll like this one 😉

很可能长成一个变态了。拿了MIT和斯坦福两个实验室的offer。大选结果揭晓前从旧金山飞回欧洲，周二傍晚到家，然后unpack，洗衣，买菜，做spa。今早六点workout，九点参加组会和同事们短暂catch up以后开始改research proposal，和老板讨论拿哪个offer更好。睡眠时差不存在，但到现在没吃东西也不太饿。

好希望自己今年已经50岁了。

感到世代差异也没那么大的瞬间：看见对象躺在沙发上拿着手机听audiobook，跟我爷爷姥爷坐摇椅上拿着收音机听评书差不太多。

@secretcola45 哈哈哈哈，谢谢。我们经常听见这样的评价，但其实连成本带人工地算了一下。拿去bakery卖的话应该不太会有人买😂

每一年圣诞节，俺俩都会亲手给朋友和同事烤曲奇作为圣诞礼物。今年烤了三个星期。
