一直都keep my hands off politics ，但美國大選當前，今天搭車有點空餘時間就快閱了一個blink summary。

Democracy is based on the miracle of aggregation. Extreme points will cancel out each other. However, it only works if opinions vary in all directions. If people are given biased information (common misconceptions and widespread biases – e.g. mistrust of the free market, confusion of the benefits of foreign trade, caring too much about preserving jobs), this principle doesn’t stand a chance.

People also don’t vote selfishly for their self-interest – but rather are motivated by emotional beliefs, party preferences or opinions on what’s best in general, e.g. to express their patriotism, their compassion or their devotion to the environment.

Voters also won’t behave rationally because their individual vote will not change anything (e.g. threat of personal harm / danger). Given voters have very little influence over the outcome of any given election, they would rather stick to their own biases or emotions.

Voting system doesn’t work because it is based on the assumption that rational voters will make good, informed decisions. Voters hold biased view on economic issues, tends to be uninformed and will vote with their emotions rater than with their minds.

(其實今年to date 只是看了兩本書，Homo Deus 和 The Ride of a Lifetime XD。希望在年底前可以把Loonshots 也看完吧。)

所有事情都可以用以上三個學問來解釋。這樣人就會放鬆一點，humbled一點了。

簡單來說，動物是為了生存（進食）和繁殖 (evolution)。生存就要錢（如果你是原始人就直接hunt/gather覓食 ），所以人就必須勞動，放在社會的不同崗位令社會正常運行 (vs entropy)。人的行為其實很愚蠢 (shape by DNA、成長經歷、外來環境），所以歷史才會不斷重複。

但無論人有多麼的強大，也必須對地球抱著謙卑的心，因為無論如何，我們也不能扭轉自然物理法則 (laws of physics/nature)。

有幸與b一齊被邀請試菜。

菜單上有Impossible Meatballs，好前衛。食咗味道也不錯。

菜單上之後又見到Roasted Chicken，於是就問問店長。

我：「請問呢個roasted chicken係咩部分？」

店長：「係齋。」

我 & b：「吓！！又係齋？！」

眼都突，又係齋！？！雞都係素？！

店長（滴汗）：「係 THIGH，係雞髀….」

笑死咗。口罩下，都係咩都聽唔清 XDD

天上傳來了飛機聲，竟然變得陌生。

但同時也覺得高興，飛機終於可以飛了。

馬路上傳來的飛車聲，卻非常討厭。
