浸大事件

得3成人合格嘅exemption考試，so?

Harvard MIT 畢業要求強制一定要識游水100 yard (91m) 先可以畢業，否則請上游水班。

如果你咁唔鍾意呢個畢業criteria，咁咪唔好讀呢間大學囉…by living in this community, you give your consent implicitly to obey its rules. 你又唔係一定要讀書嘅，夠薑嘅咪退學lor、辭職lor。（當然「香港市民」呢個角色就冇辦法辭去啦，除非你有能力移民。）

  • 我係咪想加人工，就可以佔領我老闆間房8個鐘，好似黑社會咁叫人「八婆」+ 粗口（口誤）？大學，公司都有code of conduct架嘛下話。
  • d語言中心同事唔慘架？佢地都係打份工姐，佢地又唔會決策人，你咁兇人，有用咩，傻的嗎。
  • 呢d學生日後到咗社會做事（其實只係一兩年後嘅事），遇到不公平嘅事，係咪都會咁「爛仔」方式去「發聲」？sor 我就唔想有d咁嘅人做我同事啦….stay sane, be calm please.
  • 至於香港嘅大學是否一定要識普通話；我覺得唔一定要強制。但如果呢個係間大學嘅要求，then so be it。報紙都有蘋果日報文匯報，如果你唔鍾意文匯報，咁咪唔好睇囉。呢個世界係百花齊放架啦。

最後，如同一考試放於港大科大中大，合格率又會否提高？會否一般在BU的考試，合格率本來就不高？

下班就是上學

Three ideas of justice
  1.  Maximise welfare
  2. Respect freedom
  3. Promote virtue
Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) – Utilitarianism “greatest happiness principle”
  • The right thing to do is whatever maximise happiness (quantity) to the community as a whole (trolley)
  • Overall balance of pleasure over pain
  • Natural rights is non-sense (e.g. throwing Christian to lions for entertainment)
  • No quality distinction among pleasures (“push-pin is as good as poetry”) – all values can be measured & compared on a single scale
  • (corpse waxed on display for UCL, attend meeting “present but not voting”)
Objections against Utilitarianism 
  • Fails to respect individual rights and fails to respect dignity of human beings
  • All values can’t be captured by a common currency of values (e.g. Philip Morris, Ford Pinto – cost & benefit analysis with monetary values on human life)
JS Mill (1806-1873) – Utilitarianism can distinguish higher pleasures from lowers one
  • On Liberty (1859)
  • Can distinguish higher and lower pleasures (by quality, not just by quantity or intensity)
  • The higher pleasure are not higher because we prefer them; we prefer them because it engages our highest faculties and make us more fully human
  • Celebration of individuality
  • People should be free to do whatever they want, provided they do no harm to others
  • “It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question.”
