“Chaos is the only sure thing in this world. The master that rules us all. “
“ Nature has no edges, no hard lines. “
“| This was what Darwin was trying so hard to get his readers to see: that there is never just one way of ranking nature’s organisms. To get stuck on a single hierarchy is to miss the bigger picture, the messy truth of nature, the “whole machinery of life.” The work of good science is to try to peer beyond the “convenient” lines we draw over nature. To peer beyond intuition, where something wilder lives. To know that in every organism at which you gaze, there is complexity you will never comprehend.”
Growing up,” she told me, “is learning to stop believing people’s words about you.”
“The best way of ensuring that you don’t miss them, these gifts, the trick that has helped me squint at the bleakness and see them more clearly, is to admit, with every breath, that you have no idea what you are looking at. To examine each object in the avalanche of Chaos with curiosity, with doubt.”
終於完成咗《魚不存在》，一本我冇諗過會睇嘅書。
故事就係不停反轉再反轉。1）最後發現校長原來係eugenics優生學嘅提倡者，2）原來魚呢個category根本唔存在。
takeaways：
唯一肯定嘅係，改變係永恆。Uncertainty/Entropy/Chaos/Change is the only sure thing in the world.
我地可能會好像有一個mantra、一個好rigid嘅信念去依賴。但可能就係保持開放嘅態度。不需要過份執著，let’s things fall apart, it is OK! Stay curious, with doubt, and be present. Be aware of what’s happening and change course. Keep revising.
本來nature就是充滿無限可能性，隨時都有變數，為何一定要有「有序」？
在偉大的世界的chaos/Darwin’s machinery of life 面前我們謙卑一點。沒有條條框框no hard lines!
“Nowhere is the sky so blue, the grass so green, the sunshine so bright, the shade so welcome, as right here, now, today.”
“the true path to progress is paved not with certainty but doubt, with being “open to revision.”
