“政府可以在符合国家利益的情况下对任何一片土地实行强制买卖。不过，在“拆哪〞 这个国家里，权力分散于各个地方政府，“国家利益”成了很模糊的概念。通常地方政府才是真正管事的人，他们可以扭曲 “国家利益”的概念，把其变成自己的利益所在。” 《甲骨文》

After I got rejected from lots of econ grad schools in 2009 I cold-emailed a young econ prof asking how to improve my application.

She replied in 7 minutes asking me to send her my statement of purpose and transcript, then read them and sent me personalized feedback. Guess who.

"Acting can be exhausting. I think that the amount of concentration — sometimes the amount of personal exploration — it takes to do something well, can be not pleasant ... like hard work is."

Philip Hoffman on playing Truman Capote: "I just got all the tapes I could, the audio tapes, video tapes, and I just started training in a way, to get as close as I could a sense of his behavior. ... All you have to do is really get close enough."

"how does a guy who doesn't know he's gay, from the Valley, talk? ... I just came up with it. ... I just had a lot of different voices in my head, and I kind of meshed them all together and came up with this voice, and it informed how I moved my body." P. Hoffman

"we're not too introspective. We don't walk around constantly trying to delve into the understanding of ourselves unless you're in therapy or something. But that's what actors do, you know? We really explore ourselves and other people…

How to speak from your belly?
The best suggestion so far.
→ Train the mussel and leave it.

Let it do the work automatically.
Don't force it.
Forcing it makes you sound strange in daily conversations. (I can testify to that)

The financial censorship of political enemies is something we’re used to seeing under authoritarian regimes. No one was surprised when Russia froze more than 100 bank accounts tied to opposition leader Alexei Navalny. But Canada did it too, locking more than 200 accounts of people protesting vaccine mandates. #Kennedy24

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner.

I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

Back in 2017 when I started working on crypto @SECgov, we saw mostly ICOs that looked like IPOs: teams selling tokens to the public to raise money to build protocols or apps that didn’t exist yet, w/ little to no disclosures so the public could know what they were getting into.
