2천년대 초반 내 대학생활을 이야기하시는 줄.
난 영국사람이었나 아니면
학교가 영국에 있었나.
아닌데. 다 그렇게 살았는데..

[Ian Lee @tmmrwseoul]

제가 만난 런던 사람들은 한국 기준으로는 정말 검소한 사람들입니다.

가까운 거리는 걸어가고, 먼 거리는 대중교통을 이용합니다. 택시를 한국처럼 자주 타지 않습니다.

누군가를 만날때 집에서 자주 모입니다. 준비물은 싸구려 술이면 충분합니다. 소규모 모임이라면 싸구려 술에 직접 만든 요리 정도겠지요.

그들은 커피에 큰 돈을 사용하지 않습니다. 점심을 위해 도시락을 싸는 경우도 흔합니다. 혹은 밀딜 (한국으로 치면 편의점 도시락)으로 해결합니다.
그들은 외식을 한국만큼 하지 않습니다.

대학생들의 여행지는 언제나 근교입니다. 끽해야 국내여행입니다. (아시아) 유학생들은 국경을 자주 넘어 돌아다니지만..
졸업할 즈음에나 그때까지 열심히 모은 돈으로 유럽여행을 떠나는 경우가 많은데, 이건 한국으로 치면 졸업기념으로 일본에 다녀오는 정도겠습니다.

(대학생의 경우) 옷은 구제 빈티지샵에서 해결하는 경우가 대부분입니다. 한 벌 사면 대학생활 내내 그 옷을 입습니다.

그들은 전기와 가스를 최대한 아낍니다. 이건 한국이 복지 차원에서 너무 싸게 공급하는 것도 있는 것 같지만요!

차를 가진 그들은 그 차를 최대한 오래 탑니다. 고급 승용차는 정말 잘사는 사람들이 구매합니다. 서울처럼 고급차가 그렇게 흔하지 않아요. (부촌가면 당연히 다릅니다)

대학시절 연인들의 기념일/생일은 한국 대학생들처럼 그렇게 큰 돈을 써서 무언가를 하지 않습니다. 조촐하게 해결합니다.

그들의 주말 일과는 돈 드는 일이 별로 없습니다. 끽해야 펍에서 죽치는 것이고, 이건 대학생들에게는 너무 비싸 싸구려 펍에서 모입니다. 클럽이나 공연, 전시를 가는 경우도 많은데… 클럽 빼고는 다 꽤 쌉니다.

당연히 사람마다 다르겠습니다만..

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.

7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.

10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.

14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.

18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.

19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

예전에 지나가다가 하수구에서 계속 못 빠져나오는 다람쥐를 본 적이 있슨
점점 지쳐가는게 보이길래 직접 만지면 물까봐
도와주기 위해 돌을 놔주고 오니까
돌 붙잡고 쉬다가 빠져나왔음
다람쥐 도와줬다는 생각에 뿌듯했음😋
