The beginning of this magical place..

  • 突然任性地重讀舊xanga archive （大概係2005-2008年期間嘅日記），好有趣。直到今天，原來自己嘅性格係從來都冇變過 (which is great! be yourself yoyoyo~）。細閱自己幼時文字，亦都係一個好機會去reflect返自己嘅intrinsic drive係咩嘢，自己prefer d 乜嘢，自己會係d乜嘢位struggle。
  • 好彩過往嘅自己有好繪形繪色咁寫咗d重要moment：會考、會考放榜日、大學放榜等等。就算個d moments冇影相影video，但都可以重溫返當刻嘅震撼。
  • 原來自己第一次一個人入戲院睇戲係2006年（death note嘅早場）。之後「一人睇戲」就成為咗習慣lu！
  • 會考期間，由於屋企樓下裝修嘅關係，我一直都係隆亨邨嘅青年中心度自修。（直到裝修為止）
  • 以前嘅我真係有好長時間好痴迷日本、sempai、Photoshop設計、同埋bump of chicken。日本文化同埋iTunes define咗我每一日，可以話係精神寄託。
  • 然後更驚訝嘅係，其實好多現有嘅impromptuz讀者，係由2006年開始（或更早期嘅blogspot呀hkflash dairy呀）已經有開始comment!!! 你地睇咗我個blog 13年!!!!! wowwww 好想頒個長期服務獎比各位（誤），you know who you are!
  • 以前嘅xanga係真係純粹個人嘅盡情分享；依家impromptuz都開始商業化咗少少（不過我都enjoy嘅！因為我嘅本性就係鍾意share資訊比大家，因為我八卦），而個人化部分都繼續係度的。
  • 工作越來越忙，呢個blog其實係我比我mentally休息 pause一pause嘅聖殿。

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.”
