藍天有多藍?How blue is the sky?

墾丁的藍天有多藍?
以下一段短片,是用手機在墾丁沿途拍的。墾丁國家公園,是在台灣最南端的地方。這一個藍天,香港人是很少見的。未免是少見多怪了。手機可以一直拍下去,真是捨不得放手呢。
(請把滑鼠拖往下邊,看看「台灣油價」圖中的藍天(其實己經非常美了,那是高雄市內的藍天。)
但高雄市內的藍天,仍比不上墾丁的藍天。

「為甚麼要知道,天是真的?」

2 已針對您的文章「為甚麼要知道,天是真的?」留下新意見:

有數問, 待解答:

中國傳統是不是真的沒有所謂正義公義,另傳統的善惡觀念在現代化的中國有幾大積極作用?,香港人上街,大多掩面遮頭,因為他們只相信自己是受害人,出來是申冤,怕被人笑為『硬膠』而不是爭取公義. 『人同此心心同此理』,毓民經常掛在口, 大概此亦代表大部份中國人的思想, 沒有公義,但有公道?大概問心就是中國人的公理所在吧?又或者金庸在笑傲江湖後記所論,好人與壞人,就是指加惠和損害的人數多少而決定...

對閣下論莊著作有看一遍, 理論別樹一幟, 倘若心靈自由能帶來人心超越, 那麼我們如何讓下一代知道, 心靈自由的結果就是善與惡呢? 莊子又怎樣看善與惡? 和孔孟有多少同異嗎?

這是我連日來的疑惑, 也許是古今極少數人也想過的問題.


李察回應:

親愛的 2 君:

你的問題,是李察近來所遇見的少數精彩問題。

莊子並無論及善惡。但莊子的系統裡,己有蘊含了這重要的問題。
而孔孟的性善論,則是否定了人的抉擇自由。人性本善之說,以
為人始終是會選擇善的。而且這是人的唯一選擇。所以,孔孟以
為,必須灌輸以某種特定的倫理,例如忠君,愛國,忠孝,節義
,貞婦,以至三從四德等等,就是善。而如果有人選擇了惡 ,
就是沾染了惡習,或者是灌輸的力度不足。孔孟是否定人的選擇自
由的。

台灣的油價因何便宜?

台灣油價

這一張圖片,可以看到台灣的油價,比香港便宜得多。
香港人付出,比台灣油價貴兩三倍。

不知誰可以解釋?

其中的數字22.6 是台幣。折合港幣應為

22.6 除以 4.3 等於 5.25

台灣人正在享受每公升 5.25 港元的油價。
為何我們不能?

是不是香港油價被人為抬高了?
立法局的議員們,有何話說?

為甚麼動物不會犯罪?為甚麼只有人才會犯罪?

睇報紙,見到以前教我數學的小學老師.
他被控告與未成年少女性交.

究竟為何必需要16歲以上?
12歲思想不成熟,難道20多歲的阿嬌就成熟嗎?
明知犯法仍要做,慾火蓋過理智,怎麼辦?
言行身教,是不是我老師的老師沒有做足呢?

就算有,天性這回事是無法拋掉的
即使控制得了行動,仍控制不了思想
男人總是透過幻想去侵犯得不到的愛人

這是罪嗎?是男人的原罪?

我想過將來會從事教育,我可能會面對這問題
是否重男輕女不教女生?那我還能賺錢過活嗎?

李察回應:

「創世紀」是一個智慧的寓言。裡面的比喻,
是很值得細心思量的。

而「創世紀」的教訓,跟「莊子」竟然非常
接近。

問題是:為甚麼動物不會犯罪?為甚麼只有
人才會犯罪?

因為,動物是不能抉擇的。動物是不由自主的。
但是,人卻是可以抉擇的。人是可以自己決定
做甚麼不做甚麼的。

犯罪,就是抉擇錯了。

而我們是不能保証,自己是永遠正確的。
但可以知道的是:當自己錯了,回頭再想的
時候,或者是能夠看到自己的錯誤的。
這就是「懺悔」。而能夠懺悔,就可能使
自己的智慧提昇,下一次的抉擇,正確一些。

是否中國人特別喜歡作假?

未留名者 已針對您的文章「是否中國人特別喜歡作假?」留下新意見:

首先,要定義中國人跟孔子其實不容易,如果兩者所指是華夏地區傳統對現世人影響,我覺得比較具體點。

所謂傳統,小弟覺得係一小部份人,的一種主張或習慣,而該種主張或習慣,同時會有其對立面存在,

而人類歷史在生存環境的洗禮下,選擇出當下影響著我們的傳統

其中,個人的力量其實十分有限,但是基於言語上限制,我們往往以人/某團體的主張,解釋傳統的由來

問到底專欄1999.1.1-3

Leechard,

I have two questions on the wonderful 100 year essay you wrote long ago. Can you answer these?

First, why do you say Churchill (邱吉爾) and Deng xipang (鄧小平) can only pave the way rather than guiding us the direction?

Second, why Grandi (甘地) can only offer confidence to us, but not other things?

It is the time for us to answer these questions to prepare for a disastrous decades ahead.

I am glad to hear comment from you on that.

Best wishes,

a letter from our reader:


Leechard,

Modified E-coli, like the fungus, could also be another source of fuel

Such scientific breakthorugh is credited to the effort of US researchers. They are the one in Los Angles laboratory of University of California.

How can it occur ? E-coli must be turned into generator of fuel by genetic engineering. Chromosome is inserted into E-coli DNA, and altered its basic genetic structure. Then E-coli could be able to make alcohol consisting of 8-carbon atoms. A 8-C hydroncarbon could pack a lot more energy than ethanol that we are now using. Due to its high viscosity, it can easily be separated from water. Hence, it could be an ideal biofuel.

Also it is a remarkable event in biochemical history. It is the first time of human-synthesizing long-chain alcohol. In theoery, many long-chain alcohol can be produced through this method. So, we can make more biochemical-made alcohol with e-coli as our factory.

The consequence of this event shall be seen in many sectors.

Firstly, it is at the market of ethanol. The e-coli-manufactured alcohols are new source of alcohol. Due to the production cost, were the price of large-scale bacteria-produced alcohol to be lower than that of corn-produced, there is a room for downward shifting of ethanol prices. Many people could pay less than now to enjoy ethanol and its derivatives.

Moreover, There will be a fall in price of raw materials making ethanols. There will be less demand for making ethanols from corns were the large-scale ecoli-made ethanol to be available in market. Then, more corns will be supplied to meet the large world demand for it. Compared with present, more people can buy corns in a larger quantity for their eat in a lower cost.

What is more, it, like many discovery made recently, has proved again that there is the will, there is the way. What people need is a new manufacturing mechanism of materials essential in human life. E-coli alcohol, fungus fuel, witricity. They have given us a message that we can survive, and even live, better than we are, were we to use the present materials wisely and effectively, guided by new light of science and technology.

Do you know what is glyerol?

A bright prospect of turning by-product of producing biofuels source of fuel, and many important matters is seen now.

The problem arises from glyerol, the by-product of biofuel production.

Though some of it could be food and pharmaceutical industry source, most of glycerol is disposed of incineration.

Now British researchers has discovered a chemical way to change glycerol into hydrogen gases. Under controlled pressure and temperature, with presence of catalyst, the glycerol is mixed with steam to generate hydrogen gas.

Hydrogen gas is a fuel for motors powered by hydrogen-oxygen battery. Such a process of making hydrogen from glycerol is another new application of glycerol. We could hardly do that before discovery is made due to technical problems, .

To make polymers from glycerol is another application . Cardiff University researching team is working on this project. Were the experiment of polymerisation from glycerol to be successful, there could be another ingredient for making polymers, the plastic bags.

It can be expected that the people's reliance on heavy-carbon faction of oil shall diminish. Glycerol is cheaper than oil, in terms of extraction prices.

Thus the price of making polymers shall drop with an increase in supply of polymers. But arising is the environmental pollution problem which more plastic bags will be thrown as they are cheaper than now

The guardian report on that is here:

Sweet answer to a fuel problem

Scientists are developing techniques to turn waste glycerol from biofuels into high-value hydrogen gas

technology.





Thanks to William who had made an effort to make the points very clear for us:


Glycerol-Summary

Where does it comes from?
By-product of biodiesel production

What is its present use?
Some of it can be food and pharmaceutical industry source, while most is disposed of incineration.

What could be its new application?
Generating hydrogen gases and making plastic bags and other things useful.

How can it generate hydrogen gases?
Under controlled pressure and temperature, the glycerol is mixed with steam to generate hydrogen gas with presence of catalyst.

What is the significance of conversion of hydrogen gases from glycerol?
Compared with methane, the present ingredient for making hydrogen gas, glycerol has a higher hydrogen content. Glycerol has a formula of C3H5(OH)3. That is, it is a molecule of three carbon atoms with eight hydrogen and three oxygen atoms. Methane, however, consists of a carbon atom with four hydrogen atoms. So, conversion of hydrogen gases from glycerol could be a new supply source of hydrogen gas, that is in high demand in fuel-cell and fuel

How can it produce plastic bags and other daily necessities?
Glycerol can be converted into valuable monomers for plastics production, biodegradable solvents and even fragrances

What is the significance of production of necessities?
Bio-degradable polymers or paints solvents may be produced. This could be an alternative to present plastic bags, paints and many things not degenerated in natural means. With the introduction of these materials, it could save the environment from further contamination.

Moreover, the human over-reliance on petrochemical products, the materials for plastic bags, paints, shall no long exist. Human has become more sensitive with the environmental impact brought by these materials. They shall prefer a environmentally friendly material to contaminating one for use in handbags, paints..

Disesel oil is discovered to be a product of fungus living in tree.

A month ago, after analysis of mixture produced by fungus Gliocladium roseu, some hydrocarbons remarkably similiar to diesel oil is found. Gliocladium Roseu is a fungus living in ulmo tree in Patagonia. this discovery is made by The Us researchers with its detail being published in the this year November issue of Microbiology magazine.



A Summary of The Guardian article:


Scientists discover Patagonian diesel that grows on trees

Alok Jha, green technology correspondent


guardian.co.uk, Tuesday November 4 2008 00.01 GMT
The Guardian, Tuesday November 4 2008

The 'myco-diesel' fungus Gliocladium roseum, which grows inside the ulmo tree in northern Patagonia

A tree fungus could provide green fuel that can be pumped directly into vehicle tanks, US scientists say. The organism, found in the Patagonian rainforest, naturally produces a mixture of chemicals that is remarkably similar to diesel.

The fungus, called Gliocladium roseum and discovered growing inside the ulmo tree (Eucryphia cordifolia) in northern Patagonia, produces a range of hydrocarbon molecules that are virtually identical to the fuel-grade compounds in existing fossil fuels.

Many simple organisms, such as algae, are known to make chemicals that are similar to the hydrocarbons present in transport fuel but, according to Strobel, none produce the explosive high energy density found in this fungus.

It was said that the chemical mixture produced could be used in a modern diesel engine without any modification.

Another advantage of the fungus is its ability to eat up cellulose, the compound that makes up much of the organic waste that is currently discarded, such as stalks and sawdust. Converting this plant waste into fuels is an important goal for the biofuel industry, which currently uses food crops such as corn.

nano-materials are also likely to be another asbesto to human health

A word from Leechard:

A friend send the following link to us which is important and need to have a look at. The essay from Guardian may be a bid long, but people interested should not miss it.

Nano technology, could be harmful like Asbseto(石棉)?

If we can do nothing now, at least, we should know some more about it.


--------------------------------------------------------------


Nano-materials are also likely to be another asbesto to human health.

At present, there are no evidence to prove that Nano-materials, like Asbestos in the past, could have harmful effect to human.

but, No evidence simply means we dont know.

There is no safety test, no regulations, on the negative use of nano-materials when they are employed in large scale.


And the point is:

Nano technology, like the atomic bomb, once brought into life, could never be

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-big-question-what-is-nanotechnology-and-do-we-put-the-world-at-risk-by-adopting-it-1015518.html.



What is nanotechnology?
The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution has just published a report on novel materials

Nanotechnology derives its name from the nanometre, which is a billionth of a metre.
(a human hair is about 80,000 nanometres wide.)

The Royal Commission found no evidence of harm to health or the environment from nanomaterials, but this "absence of evidence" is not being taken as "evidence of absence". In other words, just because there are no apparent problems, this is not to say that here is no risk now or in the future.

What is covered by the term nanotechnology?

There are about 600 consumer products already on the market that use nanotechnology. They include nanoparticles of titanium dioxide added to sun creams to make them transparent instead of white, or tiny fragments of silver that are added to sports equipment to make them odour-free – the silver acts as a powerful anti-bacterial agent. Nanomedicine are also being developed to fight cancer and other fatal diseases.

Many companies are taking up the opportunity of using them in products with little or no knowledge of how they may have an impact human health or the environment. The silver particles in sports clothing might end up killing off bacteria in sewage systems for example.

--------------------------

A molecule of DNA is an example of a natural nano-scale substance with the diameter of its double helix structure measuring about one nanometre. A typical virus, meanwhile, is about 100 nanometres wide.


"It is not the particle size or mode of production of a material that should concern us, but its functionality."

Take gold, for instance, which is a famously inert substance, and valuable because of it. It doesn't rust or corrode because it doesn't interact with water or oxygen, for instance. However, a particle of gold that is between 2 and 5 nanometres in diameter becomes highly reactive. This is not due to a change in chemical composition, but because of a change in the physical size of the gold particles.


How can this result in a change of function?

One reason is to do with surface area.

Nanoparticles have a much bigger surface area-to-volume ratio than microparticles a thousand times bigger. It is like trying to compare the surface area of a basketball with the combined surface area of pea-sized balls with the same total weight of the single basketball.
The pea-sized balls have a surface area many hundreds, indeed thousands of times bigger than the basketball, and this allows them to interact more easily with the environment. It is this increased interactivity that can change their functionality – and so make them potentially more dangerous to health or the environment.

"As many chemical reactions occur at surfaces, this means that nanomaterials may be relatively much more reactive than a similar mass of conventional materials in bulk form," the Royal Commission said.

Are there precedents?
The Commission cites several examples of health problems caused by the introduction of novel materials. Asbestos, for instance, was an infamous example of a material that provided tremendous benefits as a fire retardant, but when asbestos fibres were inhaled, it resulted in highly malignant cancer mesothelioma.

Where did the idea of these dangers emerge?

The first scientist to see the potential of nanotechnology was the American physicist Richard Feynman who gave a famous 1959 lecture to the American Physical Society entitled "there is plenty of room at the bottom".
Although it was Feynman who first talked about the potential advantages of technology on the small scale, it was an American engineer and author called Eric Drexler who coined the term "nanotechnology" in his 1986 book Engines of Creation.

It was also Drexler who first warned of the risk. He described a future in which tiny, self-replicating robots would take over the world – a view he has since disowned.

carbon paper : a new technology,,,,,can it save the world??

Leechard,

Here comes the great step in Organic Chemistry, and Material science. Bucky carbon paper can now be transformed into very strong material. The flordia State University researchers have overcome the difficulties of increasing the strength of bucky paper, which could be lighter than metals we commonly see. It could be an imporant ingredient in many things in future.

I am very happy to hear this piece of news, which not only means
the era of metal has now come to an end,
but a new page in the era of organic materials. The influence of metal shortage on the economy could be further weaken due to this event, and our economy could be lead to a new orbit of prosperity, which i believe, will be a thing man have to get for their survival.

It is my pleasure to attach this article here for your reference:


A Paper Stronger than Steel

* It's paper. It's made out of tube-shaped carbon molecules 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.

*Last week, scientists at Florida State University (FSU) said they had made significant progress.

*They use strong magnetism to line up the carbon tubes in the same direction. And they plan to improve bonding by creating surface defects on the tubes.

the Jewish people from Intel( Intel is Jewish Company?? (need to check it)) could use wireless equipment to replace fossil fuel, then the world would be

Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2008 15:56:24 +0800

Leechard,

Witricity, now in development stage, is, under man effort, moving with speed, and closer than ever imagined, to the practical stage.

When i said in July that wireless electricity has been proved existence in last year, i, like many people, thought that two or more year is required to experiment whether energy can be transmitted wireless. Researchers of Intel, the american company, has did an experiement in late august to show us that it can do that. It is a great piece of science discovery news to us after we have heard the proof of memristor, the forth component in circuit, in may this year.

The energy-transmitting nature of witrictiy, i think, shall have many application in daily life. The distant transmission of electricity without a physical medium involvement, like the space, can now be made possible. And we shall use less metals to make conducting wires to connect places in pursuit to transmit electricty. We shall see that wireless electricity can play a important role in future society, and i can now say that "witiricty can a tool to make the human dream, no cable and wire to trnasmit electiricty, to come true",

To let you have an idea on what witricity transmmiting energy has happened, i attached a bbc news piece here.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

An end to spaghetti power cables
By Maggie Shiels
Technology reporter, BBC News, San Francisco




"The notion of disappearing energy sources is a powerful one," Justin Rattner, Intel technology boss, told the BBC.

he said. "No cords, no batteries anymore."

Mr Rattner envisaged a scenario where a laptop's battery could be recharged when the machine gets within several feet of a transmit resonator...

Intel's technology relies on an idea called magnetic induction. It is a principle similar to the way a trained singer can shatter a glass using their voice; the glass absorbs acoustic energy at its natural frequency.

At the wall socket, power is put into magnetic fields at a transmitting resonator - basically an antenna. The receiving resonator is tuned to efficiently absorb energy from the magnetic field, whereas nearby objects do not.


At the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, researcher Alanson Sample showed how to make a 60-watt light bulb glow from an energy source three feet away.


In early experiments the MIT team lit their light bulb from seven feet away with larger charging coils and scoring an efficiency rate of between 40-45%.

This meant most of the energy did not make it to the light bulb. MIT has since improved its system to 90% efficiency at the three feet range.

'World changing'
Intel has called the system WREL, a wireless resonant energy link while MIT named it WiTricity - a combination of wireless and electricity.

如果一個國家,無法適應現在的社會,經唔起挑戰,係唔係會好似泡沬咁樣倒台。

美國人的希望在那裡?

Dear LeeChad,

What do you think about purity and Americans?
One may find the Americans naive or shallow.
But do you also see a sense of purity in Americans?
I sense that but I cannot well defined it yet.
One side of purity can push people to become extremist.
The other side with faith and hope brings out beauty of human kinds.

Best regards, King she



Dear She,

you have a very important point here.

this is the hope for the american as well as us,
I believe.

Who was JM Keynes, and does he offer answers to the economic crisis?

The following link about Keynes is supplied by a reader, thanks very much

May be it is time for people to know more about Keynes.

Leechard,

I have found a good article studying keynes;' economic theory, which is a topic of discussion not only in your forum, but also in forum around the world. The independent article, dated 28 october, shall be a source to all who know little about keynes economics to take a look.

The Big Question: Who was JM Keynes, and does he offer answers to the economic crisis?


Why are we asking this now?
So who was John Maynard Keynes?
What was his big idea?
Did those ideas survive the war?
What's different today?
So what can we expect?
Is there a consensus on all this?
Should we take a lesson from JM Keynes?

horowitz 沒有參加過任何比賽

據知,horowitz 是沒有參加過任何比賽,

所以他可以理直氣壯地說比賽是抹殺藝術可變性的兇手,

是參賽者討好評判的場地.

當然,冇競爭又何來進步呢?參加比賽可以知道自己的水平在哪裡

不知那兩分多鐘的曲目花了他多少時光呢?

比賽是殘酷的,尤其在宣佈得獎人後,那種悲喜交雜的氣氛

自己都曾經比賽過,我冇嬴,有三個人冇輸

失望極了,好像所有努力都白費

令我慚愧的,是我當時堅張極了,心跳極速,手幾乎所程微震著.

我竟然不能投入到音樂去



李察的回應:


謝謝你提供了寶貴的經驗呢。
從某種角度看,這類的比賽,好像讓人的一生都投進去賭搏,

問題是,當我們自己,能不能有這樣的「悟」,知道了一切

Dear Leechard

......Why not look at the news saying that greenspan has admitted he has to take the responsibility of financial crisis? The believer of free market mechanism, Alan finds that the financial market, if without proper control, shall become a hell machine. He does not know, and still is thinking what causes the free market to the phase of credit crunch like the present. It looks alike with the story of cultural revolution, and many events that can affect the world, but cannot be explained using today logic.........

石油將會怎樣耗盡




李察按:
時間己經差不多三個月過去了。三個月之前,我們曾經預言某種重大的衰退。
但目前,經濟環境奇怪地變異。你知道是甚麼地方變了嗎? 

以下,是某君的想法。謝謝你的費心。


Your article"石油將會怎樣耗盡" is a prediction of human life in the next 500 years with the oil crisis the dominant issue for human to tackle. There are two options apparently given to man. The first one is at e point, man should enjoy a larger degree of freedom of speech which certain new idea would be formed to replace the old thinking network with oil as its centre. The another one is at f point, which man can simply hide themselves in a "safe" place, store enough food and other materials for around 50 years, and then wait all man to be died and find a new resource to continue the human civilization.

If i were free to choose, i shall prefer the e point to f point. I am a man loving the earth and mankind. Though i must say that i hate the bad character of man, and the vice made by these man which is increasing nowdays, i am still optimistic about man future. Man, a species has lived in the everywhere on the earth for past thousands of years, during which many great disaster have occurred, the last ice age, the atomic bomb development, can still live for a next thousands of years, as long as they can find a practical solution for all their problems on earth. I can see that when they can find that practical solution, they shall be, sooner or later, at point e. The only question for man is, if there is no change in present situation, the resources, water, food, are exhaustibility utilized, the restriction on free speech is everywhere, and people are still lazy and fool as they were in this century, we can die before that point is reached. In History, such a change can only be brought by a philosopher, who dare to think and can think. But at present, no philosopher, like you, would like to stand up to lead the public, which they did in enlightenment age and renaissance. It is a sad matter indeed and i think it is not necessary to dwell on at that point which we have already discussed in depth. Only by god's mercy can a miracle occur that we would make a great leap to that point e soon, i think

I think to myself that point f is a point where most evil guys has ever dreamed when they always want to have a complete control of earth. However, i consider it foolish for man to dream and ever work to reach that point. Where is the safe place for that kind of people? Surely it is not low-lying lands which can be flooded, it is not desert which has no water, it is not in mountainous regions as avalanche and earthquake are frequently occurred, it is not underground and undersea as there is no oxygen. There are many places contaminated by nuclear, water, air pollutants Even if you can find one, man, at that moment, shall compete with you for that safe place. How about the food and resource for human life for a long time, say 50 years, then? Surely the total product of food and resource produce in a year cannot afford a group of person, or even a person for 50 years. You have to steal your neighbours’ food frequently to maintain the standard of living. They shall input a large effort in protecting these valuable goods, which would be a hard job for them. Even if these fool and wicked man can fulfill these 2 requirements, I still think they have no chance to survive, and even rebuild human civilization. If all man were dead, there will never be anything left to them, including the new resource that they have once thought of. I firmly believe the mighty God would punish these people at the end, just like He punished those Jewish escaped to Egypt after Israel was occupied.


I believe that, you and all who care the earth shall naturally choose point e instead of point f. I have a strong conviction that if more and more people do the same, the time to reach point e would be sooner, just like when more and more Jewish believe in God, the time to get into the Promised Land would be earlier.

石油將會怎樣耗盡?


石油將會怎樣耗盡? *李察
(問到底 No.7090 2008 0712 Saturday)


附圖中的數字,代表年份。從公元零年到公元四
千年之間,只有極少部份的時間,人類是使用石油的。
十八世紀的人們開始注意到,地殼底層的一種液體,
可供燃燒。


從此一時間開始,直到公元二千零五年,石油的
使用量,達到了最高峰。但人們同時開始驚覺,石油
的蘊藏量,是有限的,可以算出一個石油耗盡的時間。


但是,石油不會是逐漸消耗的。就好比一個人那
樣,人體裡,有百份之七十是水份。但人不是要耗盡
那百份之七十的水才死的。只要缺水數日,生命就不
能維持。


美國學者Ken Deffeyes 認為,只要油價達到了
每桶三百美元,世界經濟就會崩潰。他用總的全球產
油總值和全球總產值(World Domestic Product)比
較,他認為,如果油價達到總產值的百份之十五的時
候,世界經濟就不可能維持下去。(油價在每桶一百
三十美元的時候,是百份之六點五。)


如果按他的計算,當全球耗油量來到圖中 B 點的
時候,由於經濟崩潰,生產停頓,圖中的曲線會變成
直線,石油的使用量會一直下降,到達下面的C 點。
然後才會慢慢回復一點,到了D 點的時候,地球上
最後的一滴油,大約會送到博物館去保存。因為,地
球上再沒有石油了。


如果他的計算準確,這就是非常可怕,而且很快
就會發生的事情。


如果他的計算不準確,也是相當可怕的。假設經
濟在油價三百美元的時候,並未崩潰、、、這是有可
能的。因為,人的行為,是會調節的。如果油價太高,
地球經濟也會迅速變化。代替品會紛紛出現,戰爭也
會持續發生。戰爭可能使石油的使用權,由一些國家
轉到另一些國家手上。


但是,無論如何,石油總是有耗盡的一天的。如
果地球經濟並未在三百美元的崩潰點崩潰,到油價上
脹到四百美元、六百美元、一千美元的時候,就算實
際的經濟不崩潰,心理上也會崩潰了。


只除非一種情況發生:如果人類真的是這樣聰明,
能夠找到一種代用的物料,能夠全面取代石油,那樣,
人類的文明便有機會持續下去。


這就是圖中用紅色繪畫的 E 曲線。如果新物料在
大崩潰之前已經全面取代石油,那將是人類的喜訊,
雖然,死而不僵也不算甚麼喜訊了。


又如果,新的燃燒物料始終未能出現,一直到了
石油真的用盡,人類回復十七世紀之前的生活,仍未
能出現,會有好處嗎?那時,地球人口大量減少,比
一切戰爭和天災所能刪除的人口,更多。極少數的地
球人重新享受新鮮的水、清潔的空氣和陽光,到了若
干時日,可能到了公元二千五百年左右,新物料才重
新出現。這一條曲線,就是圖中的 F 曲線。那將會
是人類文明的真正重生。


從歷史看,戰爭和天災都不能減少人口。二次大
戰中,中國人口不過損失兩千萬。這數字,一下子便
被嬰兒潮淹沒了。或者我們會想像不到,能源危機的
威力,竟比戰爭和天災更大。那才是真正有實力的、
有用處的危機。


有讀者來信問,我們可以怎麼辦?


答案要看:我們希望死而不僵的「 E 」 還是
全新的「 F 」 出現。


如果我們投「 E  」一票,則是很簡單的。我
們會盡量開放知識,放任不同類型的知識出現。我們
會以愛心取代私心,這樣,新的物料,將會在一種快
樂的、前所未有的、自由的、新鮮的思想網絡中產生。


  如果我們都想享受真正的新鮮空氣與陽光,我們
決定了投「 F 」一票,也是很簡單的。只要甚麼都
不用做就是。唯一需要做的,是找一個隱秘的地方,
儲存足夠五十年使用的糧食,躲起來。到所有人都死
光了,就可以出來,慢慢的研究新的燃燒物料。

Subject: 提問


李察,

你多次論及人類的石油文化,人類文化更新的問題,意思是否現在多數人類的
思維均在石油使用底下運作,而希望人類能跳出這個石油框框/思維的框框?

我亦很認同多思少慾的講法。個人認為,慾不算得壞,太多慾才是問題,很實
在的阻礙思考。

一點個人分享


近來閱讀興趣大增(在天堂遇見的五個人、牧羊少年奇幻之旅、我這一代香港人、
小王子、森美的一本詩集...),當然我也是你的長期讀者。=p(以往我是極討厭
閱讀,亦不覺得它的重要性)

求知慾的大增,使我在尋求知識的過程時,覺得非常有趣及興奮。得聲明一點,
自己不是一個聰明的人,只得中五學歷,所以尋找的算不上甚麼高深知識,只是
在細微/零碎的事上引發不少思考、反思及創作,不過透過閱讀及對身邊事的觀
察,倒是多了一點智慧。

Eric

過份打壓個人觀點

我係老街坊,我認為我地文化係要改。想同外省人、外國人做下朋友,都俾人話我怪誕。大家學術上交流下,或者生意往來有嘜唔妥。反而,愛黨愛國就與生俱來。硬係有D唔妥。

資源以不同的形式存在。人不斷開發,將天然資源轉換為人可以使用的資產。即使石油枯乾,亦總不乏其他資源任人開採。

問題是,進行形式轉換必須付出代價(冰箱製冷必須用電一樣),誰來付出代價?

真是很好的問題呢。
肯去嘗試的人, 必定願意付出代價的。

乳癌新種

李察按:謝謝讀友peggy
轉來此信。雖然又是屬於「網上傳言」,並無確實的學術分析,但是,
知道一下有這回事,總是好的。



乳癌新種 -

請將此信轉寄給你生命中所有的女人:母親、女兒、姊妹、伯母阿姨以及朋 友。一種罕見的新種乳癌於十一月被發現。一名女士的乳房如同哺乳中的婦人般起了濕疹。

她的乳房X光攝影片並沒有顯示出任何代表硬塊的陰影,因此醫師只開了一般的抗生素以避免進一步的細菌感染。上了兩次醫院後病情卻持續惡化,醫師於是再度請她去照乳房X光攝影。這回陰影出現了。

切片檢查後,發現了急速複製中的惡性腫瘤細胞。為了減緩細胞複製,先是化療,接下來乳房切除,然後又是一整個療程的化療以及放射線治療。九個月的密集治療之後,醫師們保證她恢復健康了!

之後整整一年的時間,她過著最充實的生活,然而這批頑強的癌細胞竟轉移到肝臟!四個療程之後她決定捨棄有著續多副作用的化療,找回生活品質。她詳細的計畫最後五個月所有的生活細節,最後的幾天在嗎啡的麻醉效果下,安祥的走了。她在臨死前留下了這封 訊息,希望轉達給所有的女性朋友們!
女士們!請隨時注意身體細微的變化,並且,有任何不正常的情形時,請儘早尋求醫療協助!

乳 房外柏哲氏病:這是一種罕見的癌前病變,以濕疹型態發生於乳頭及乳暈上。濕疹後來會形成一片邊緣有硬皮的傷口。我不曾懷疑這可能是癌症,但癌症找到了我。 我的乳房並沒有任何異狀,我看醫師唯一的理由是因為這偶爾會發癢、疼痛,十分惱人又醜陋的濕疹。 家庭 醫師開給我的任何乳膏都無法除去它; 皮膚科 醫師先前給 我的眼周皮膚病藥物也無法治好它。讓似乎讓人感到不安,但無法使我聯想到癌症的到來。

我懷疑許多的女性朋友們都不知道乳暈及乳頭上的濕疹可能象徵乳癌。 ( 我一開始的症狀僅是乳頭上冒出一個小痘子 )。 柏哲氏病之所以可怕的理由之一,就是因為:乳頭上那似乎無害的細菌感染或是發炎,卻在延誤就醫後一發不可收拾。

有哪些症狀呢?
1. 乳頭有持續的紅腫、不明分泌物以及導致搔癢及灼熱感的硬皮剝落。 ( 我一開始的時候除了一邊乳房有硬皮剝落外,沒有其他症狀)。
2. 乳頭上有無法癒合的傷口。 ( 我當初的傷口分布在乳暈,乳頭中央並且有白色濃稠分泌物 )。
3. 通常只有一邊乳房被感染。這怎麼判斷呢?您的醫師會在觸壓檢查以後,建議您立刻做兩個乳房的X光攝影。因為正常皮膚炎的症狀為紅腫、硬皮剝落以及不明分泌物,所以醫師只有在症狀僅產生於單一乳房時,才會懷疑癌症的可能性。屆時進行發炎部位的病理切片,就能找出病因。
請嚴肅的看待這封信,並且盡你所能的轉寄給親朋好友;它可能拯救許多人的生命。

我的乳癌在無數化療、28個療程的放射線物理治療以及持續服用抗雌激素後,依舊轉移到骨隨。如果能早點診斷出乳癌,說不定就不會發生這種事情了 …。

致所有的讀者:女性同胞不知道柏哲氏病是非常讓人難過的消息。為了幫助四周所有的女人,請將此訊息轉發給周圍的人,使其他人知道這潛在的危險。

如果方便的話,拜託您務必將此信轉發給所有你所知道的人,尤其是您的家人及朋友。

一個小麻煩可能拯救一個生命。

文化觀察不等於政策評論

Gary 已針對您的文章「「金字塔」能否刺激經濟?」留下新意見:

李察您好!

我覺得現時"創造職位"這個概念, 不100%等同建築"金字塔"。例如增加基建創造職位, 並非"並無生產利益的建設", 只是當中可能有一些並非"cost effective", 因為被標籤為"創造職位"。主要目的當然的降低失業率, 保留該行業的人才, 因為每一個行業都有cycle, 希望當該行業不景氣時, 不要大量流失行業人才。以上只是我小小的意見。當然您說的, 的確很有值得我們反思的地方。謝謝!

讀者Gary

李察回應:

謝謝你的意見。李察是同意你的意見的。
之所以提及金字塔等問題,並非要評論某一種經濟政策,而是一種文化觀察。
這是不同層面的兩種工作呢。

Keynesian's Expansionary Monetary Policy

何謂「資金流失」

未留名者 已針對您的文章「一些經濟問題」留下新意見:

「資金流失」probably means "foreign direct investment capital" If the capital was from U.S.A., then the capital is probably moving back to U.S.A. during time of turbulence.

Relatively speaking, Hong Kong loses those capital. In fact, the capital just moves around throughout the world at different time. It could be smart money, bubble money, etc.

如下:


1) 新聞經常報導全球各地銀行資金短缺,究竟資金流失在哪裡?
2) 曾聽過一位朋友意見,銀行資金不足時(當所有銀行存戶提走戶口內資金)會印新鈔票,是否如此?
3) 銀行會在甚麼情況下印新鈔票?

誰人可以提供多一些的資料?

「泡沫是甚麼?」

Andrew 已針對您的文章「泡沫是甚麼?」留下新意見:

For the question you posted as the title today about bubble, may be I can share of what I learned about investing for that part.

The very basic evaluation of how much shall a share of stock worth can be calculated by Market Cap vs Enterprise Value in terms of shares issued. Of course to be more accurate, all financial data, like annual reports shall be studied, but unfortunately most of the people who would buy stocks would not even spend a little a time on those, just like not too many people would spend time reading the owner's menu when buying a car.

Indeed there is no absolute accurate value one can determine, so we can only assume those data prepared by certified professionals are correct, like how we have to assume one is innocent until we can find evidence to prove one is guilty.

Any kind of those bubble I may say, are mostly developed from greed, and ignorance will promote the risks one may face.

中風急救法

李察按:

謝謝讀者 Peggy 寄來這則文章,可惜李察太遲看到。
李察的九十二歲外父,己經不治。他也是中風的。
當時他也是咀歪了。還以為他只是假牙鬆了、、、

-----------------------------------

保住老命

患了中風,腦部的微血管,會慢慢的破裂,
遇到這種情形,千萬別慌,患者無論在什麼地方…
《不管是浴室、臥房或客廳。》,
千萬不可搬動他。
因為,如果移動,會加速微血管的破裂。
所以要先原地把患者扶起坐穩以防止再摔倒,
這時才開始【放血】。
家中如有專為注射用的針,當然最好,
如果沒有,就拿縫衣用的銅針,
或是大頭針,用火燒一下消毒!
就在患者的十個手指頭尖兒
《沒有固定穴道,大約距離手指甲一分之處。》刺上去,
要刺出血來【萬一血不出來,可用手擠。】,
等十個手指頭都流出血來《每指一滴》,
大約幾分鐘之後,患者就會自然清醒!
如果嘴也歪了,就拉他的耳朵,把耳朵拉紅,
在兩耳的耳垂兒的部位,各刺兩針,也各流兩滴血,
幾分鐘以後,嘴就恢復原狀了。
等患者一切恢復正常感覺沒有異狀時再送醫,
就一定可以轉危為安,否則,若是急著抬上救護車送醫,
經一路的顛跛震動恐怕還沒到醫院,他腦部微血管,
差不多已經都破裂了。
萬一能夠吉人天相,保全老命,
能像孫院長,容得勉強行動,那得要靠祖上的庇蔭了。
放血救命法,是住在新竹的中醫師 夏伯挺 先生說的。
且是經自己親身實驗,敢說百分之百有效。
大概是民國六十八年我在台中逢甲學院任教,
有天上午,我正在上課,一位老師跑到我的教室上氣不接下氣的說:
『 劉 老師快來,主任中風了!』。
我立刻跑到三樓,看到陳幅添主任,
氣色不正,語意模糊,嘴也歪了,很明顯的是中風了。
立即請工讀生到校門外的西藥房,買來一支注射用的針頭,
就在陳主任十個手指頭上直刺。
等十個手指尖兒都見血了《豆粒似的一滴》。
大約幾分鐘以後,陳主任的氣色就變過來了,
兩眼也有神了,只有嘴還歪著,我就拉搓他的耳朵,
使之充血,等把耳朵拉紅,就在左右耳垂之處,
各刺兩針,待兩耳垂都流出兩滴血來,奇蹟就出現了!
大約不到三五分鐘,他的嘴形,恢復正常了,說話也清清楚楚了。
讓他靜坐一陣子,喝了一杯熱茶,才扶他下樓,
開車送到惠華醫院,打一罐點滴,休息了一夜,
第二天;就出院回學校上課了。
一切照常工作,毫無後遺症。
反觀一般腦中風患者,都是送醫院治療時,
經過一路震盪血管急速破裂,以致多數患者一病不起,
所以腦中風,在死因排行榜上高居第二位,
其最幸運者,也僅能保住老命,而落得終身殘廢。
這是一個多麼可怕的病症。
如果大家都能記住這《放血救命》的方法,
立刻施救,在短短時間它能起死回生,
而且保證百分之百的正常。
這個急救法,希望大家告訴大家。
那腦中風,在死因排行榜上,就可以除名了。
● 閱後傳知他人,功德無量!●

我以為西方文化並未腐敗的原因是自歐洲文藝復興以來,
西方主流文化皆奉思想、言論自由為圭皋。觀之中國,
〝五四〞前的歷代皇朝為了〝家天下〞之故,而〝五四〞
後的〝民國〞及〝共和國〞則為了一黨獨大,皆以拑制
百姓的思想言論為治國之本,當今中國文化之腐敗,其
來有自,兄以為然否?

李察回應:


伯偉兄,


所言極是。西方文化本身,有防止腐敗的機制。
不幸是中國文化的根己被割斷。文化本身失去
了生命力。再加上歷代箝制思想,沒有把「思
想」當作一種有生命力的開拓力量,只以為思想
箝制了,統治起來便很容易。

謝謝關心。eyun 和 小弟俱好,一切平安。

a lot of room for us

My comment on --中國文化可能避過「腐敗期」嗎?

If you believe there is GOD, I will think that Chinese has been developed in a different way as compare to Western world.

But there should still be with the guidance of GOD.

Chinese tradition intelligent has a lot of hints from GOD in order to develop this stage. Chinese has come from a different path but God have plan. But I don’t know how and what will be.

With the Christian Bible and God’s messages getting more and more Chinese awake, I think there will be good time eventually.

I understand the young Chinese people who do not have religion and only believe in materialism, spending culture are deeply affected by the western culture.

So there is a lot of room for us to work on this, missionary, prayer to China.


Regards,

Herman

錢是慢慢流向那些願意儲蓄的人

李察按: 謝謝讀者寄來這則網略文章。
文中提到 金錢的五大定律

或者,在熟讀金融經濟的人,仍有一看的價值的。

其中的第二條:
金錢願意為懂得運用它的人工作。

意義就是:要懂得往何處投資。

朋友們:如果你有一千元,你投資何處?(比較容易答?)
如果你有一千億元,你投資何處?(比較難答?)

如果有個國家,國力雄厚,己經儲存了一萬億元。
這個國家,應該怎樣運用這筆錢?
(這真的是很有挑戰性的問題呢。)
(有人說,都分掉。分給窮人----就是沒有甚麼挑戰了。用完,
就是用完了。)







錢是慢慢流向那些願意儲蓄的人


來源:網路流傳


朋友,與你分享一個古老的致富秘笈。
這則巴比倫最有錢人的故事,看似簡單平常,但在八千年前巴比倫人已經懂得理財致富之道,這些原則到現在還是一樣可以適用。
這篇故事讀起來有點長,泡一杯茶,換個舒服的姿勢慢慢品嚐。
根據巴比倫出土的陶磚土記載,巴比倫最有錢的人叫做阿卡德,很多人羨慕他的富有,因此向他請教致富之道。
阿卡德原來是在擔任雕刻陶磚的工作,有一天,有一位有錢人歐格尼斯來向他訂購一塊刻有法律條文的陶磚,阿卡德說,他願意漏夜雕刻,到天亮時就可以完成,但是唯一的條件是歐格尼斯要告訴他致富的秘訣。
歐格尼斯同意這個條件,因此到天亮時,阿卡德完成了陶磚的雕刻工作,歐格尼斯實踐了他的諾言,他告訴阿卡德:「致富的秘訣是:你賺的錢中有一部份要存下來。」
「財富就像樹一樣,從一粒微小的種耔開始成長,第一筆你存下來的錢就是你財富成長的種籽,不管你賺的多麼少,你一定要存下十分之一。」
一年後,當歐格尼斯再來的時候,他問阿卡德是否有照他的話去做,把賺來的錢省下十分之一。
阿卡德很驕傲的回答,他確實照他的方法作了,歐格尼斯就問:「那存下來的錢,你如何使用呢?」
阿卡德說:「我把它給了磚匠阿盧瑪,因為他要旅行到遠地買回菲利人稀有的珠寶,當他回來的時候,我們將把這些珠寶賣很高的價格,然後平分這些錢。」
歐格尼斯責罵說:「只有傻子才會這麼做,為什麼買珠寶要信任磚匠的話呢?你的存款已經泡湯了!年輕人,你把財富的樹連根都拔掉了,下次你買珠寶應該去請教珠寶商,買羊毛去請教羊毛商,別和外行人做生意!」
就如同歐格尼斯所說,磚匠阿魯瑪被菲利人騙了,買回來的是不值錢的玻璃,看起來像珠寶。
阿卡德再次下定決心存下所賺的錢的十分之一,當第二年,歐格尼斯再來的時候,他又詢問阿卡德錢存的如何?
阿卡德回答:「我把存下來的錢借給了鐵匠去買青銅原料,然後他每四個月付我一次租金。」
歐格尼斯說:「很好,那麼你如何使用賺來的租金呢?」
阿卡德說:「我把賺來的租金拿來吃一頓豐富大餐,並買一件漂亮的衣服,我還計劃買一頭驢子來騎。」
歐格尼斯笑了,他說:「你把存下的錢所衍生的子息吃掉了,你如何期望他們以及他們的子孫能再為你工作,賺更多的錢?當你賺到足夠的財富時,你才能盡情享用而無後顧之憂。」
又過了二年,歐格尼斯問阿卡德:「你是否達到夢想中的財富?」
阿卡德說:「還沒有,但是我已存下了一些錢,然後錢滾錢,錢又滾錢。」
阿格尼斯又問:「那你是否還向磚匠請教事情?」
阿卡德說:「有關造磚的工作請教他們能得到很好的建議。」
歐格尼斯說:「你已學會了致富的秘訣。首先你學會了從賺來的錢省下錢,其次你學會了向內行的人請教意見,最後你學會了如何讓錢為你工作,使錢賺錢。你已學會如何獲得財富,保持財富,運用財富。」
早在八千年前的巴比倫人就指出:成功的人都是善於管理、維護、運用創造財富。致富之道在於聽取專業的意見,並且終生奉行不渝。這則古老的智慧當中,蘊含著金錢的五大金科定律。


金錢的第一定律:金錢是慢慢流向那些願意儲蓄的人。每月至少存入十分之一的錢,久而久之可以累積成一筆可觀的資產。

金錢的第二定律:金錢願意為懂得運用它的人工作。那些願意打開心胸,聽取專業的意見,將金錢放在穩當的生利投資上,讓錢滾錢,利滾利,將會源源不斷創造財富。

金錢的第三定律:金錢會留在懂得保護它的的人身邊。重視時間報酬的意義,耐心謹慎的維護它的財富,讓它持續增值,而不貪圖暴利。

金錢的第四定律:金錢會從那些不懂得管理的人身邊溜走。對於擁有金錢而不善經營的人,一眼望去,四處都有投資獲利的機會,事實上卻處處隱藏陷阱,由於錯誤的判斷,它們常會損失金錢。

金錢的第五定律:金錢會從那些渴望獲得暴利的人身邊溜走。金錢的投資報酬有一定的回收,渴望投資獲得暴利的人常被愚弄,因而失去金錢。缺乏經驗或外行,是造成投資損失的最主要原因。

一個奶業工人的實心話

李察按:

下文為一個讀者轉來的文章,相信己經廣泛在網上流傳。茲照貼出如下,謹供參考。
但文章內容,僅屬傳言性質,未曾確切查証。但相信這化學式是可能正確的。
尿素是可能化為三聚氰胺的。有更多資料的讀者,請分析,請提供。

-------------------------


Believe it or not?!




The author of the article is dead correct in his comments on [尿素怎麼轉化為三聚氰氨], I have checked his process in the NIST data, which proofs his is damn right as follow:

尿素 is urea, chemical formula; CH4N2O
三聚氰氨 is cyanuramide, chemical formula: C3H6N6

When Urea is heated it will change to cyanuramide + carbon dioxide + amonia as below
6 CH4N2O > C3H6N6 + 3 CO2 + 6 H3N

一個奶業工人的實心話

我不想再忍了,我所知道的奶業內幕!
我所學的專業是乳品工藝,剛畢業曾在某國內老大級乳業集團工作。職位 - 收奶員。

這幾天的三鹿事件,沸沸揚揚。其實在我看來,沒什麼奇怪的,事情總是要被揭穿的,只不過是時間問題,以及是哪一家企業成為那個撞上槍口的倒霉蛋。三聚氰胺 - 冰山的一角。也許這個事件就要告下一個段落,也許僅僅是個序幕的開始……

離職的員工到處去說原來公司的「壞話」,這個員工一定個沒有道德的人。曾經我也是這麼認為的,可最近我的想法變了,一個知道內情而不去告訴別人,眼看著別人吃虧上當的人,那才是個徹底道德敗壞的人。

離職後,我沒喝過一滴奶!

我先講一下,收奶的過程。奶農的牛奶由當地附近村鎮的奶站化驗收集,按品質高低,分等級付給奶農錢。品質的指標不外乎PH值,蛋白質,干物質這幾項。然後由奶站(當然了奶站是私人老闆的)用罐裝車混裝後運到工廠,然後由工廠取樣化驗,測算指標同樣按品質高低,分等級付給奶站錢。不知道大家看沒看出來,想沒想到這種操作模式會出現什麼問題?有人說了,不是「天然牧場」「工業化收集嗎」? 有,的確有。但是我只能說:兄弟,你很傻,很天真!

奶農想多賺錢怎麼辦呢?簡單啊,摻水啊。那摻水指標降低就賣不上好價了怎麼辦?簡單啊摻****啊。奶站想多賺錢怎麼辦呢?簡單啊…… 。奶站的奶是從各個散戶收來混裝到罐車的,有一家的突然變質了,怎麼辦啊,全車都倒了嗎? 幾十噸一罐的奶,蛋白質低了怎麼辦?干物質低了怎麼辦?PH值低了怎麼辦?有的牛病了打過抗生素怎麼辦?有的牛催奶打激素怎麼辦?

話說回來了,奶農那點小計量能瞞奶站嗎?奶站那點小九九能瞞工廠嗎?如果我說,奶站不知情,工廠不知情。都是「不法奶農」干的壞事,全國人民要把矛頭指向他們批判。那我可就真的,很傻,很天真。

我們從來不拒收奶,因為我們知道,一件東西是要充分利用的,這樣才能取得最大的價值,獲得最大的利潤。我們分罐儲藏。最好的奶,供到車間做酸奶(發酵型酸奶或攪拌型酸奶),因為不是好奶做不出來。其次,做純牛奶,高鈣奶之類的。再差的奶做花色奶即花生奶,早餐奶等。還有那些發酸的奶怎麼辦呢,當然不能倒了,做酸性乳飲料,就是廣告狂哄亂炸的,女人小孩都喝的***。這是本公司最大的利潤所在,一盒奶的成本,還沒有哪個包裝盒值錢。還有那種臭的熏人的奶怎麼辦呢,簡單,做冰激凌(Ice Cream?) 味道最好。還有那些又臭成粘稠狀的怎麼辦呢,做奶粉。當然這叫工業粉,它有它的用途,不是裝袋子就上市場的。

我們有全球最大最先進的立體式倉庫,媒體都讚揚過,可是你就沒想想這快速消費品,生產出來就要賣的,搞那麼大倉庫什麼用?酸性乳飲料越存放味道越好。那有人問了,生產日期怎麼辦?簡單啊,提前打一個月,你也許不信吧,因為在你心中那是小黑工廠做的事。 那又有人問了,市場上賣的豈不是過期奶? 我就這麼告訴你吧,你手中那盒奶就是過期一周了,你喝也沒問題。因為你所賣的奶是 UHT超高溫滅菌液態奶。

關於UHT超高溫滅乳到底有沒有營養. 我不想再說了, 因為這個涉及到某人在某年為中國提出的一個口號, 我們正向這個口號邁進, 別管你喝的是什麼奶, 反正是牛奶。

有個廣告,中國某企業已經是這種超高溫滅菌乳全球產銷量第一,難道是那些乳業發達國家真的比不上我們了嗎?其實是人家不生產這種乳品了。這笑話有點冷是吧。

那有人說了, 我們以後喝高端奶吧, 廣告都說想過有品位的生活就和那種奶。是啊, 那奶是貴啊, 貴的東西就好啊, 那奶蛋白質高啊 , 高, 實在是高, 這一點澳大利亞人都服我們啊。

我就不相信地球上的奶牛能擠出那麼高蛋白質的奶……

此言一出,某些專家就會來「闢謠」又得列出一套數據理論,來「引導」大家。

是啊,我嘴沒人家的大,錢更沒人家拿的多……

還有很多關鍵的還是不說為好,知道了對大家誰都不好。生活是美好的。
真實案例看三鹿奶粉背後的**的行業潛規則
目前鬧得沸沸揚揚的三鹿奶粉事件,作為一個可能的知情者和懂點化學的人,我也來談談我的觀點:

1、媒體也好,廠家也好,國*家質量監督也好,還是在忽悠大家,為什麼我敢這麼說,因為三聚氰氨根本不可能直接加入牛奶中,三聚氰氨的市場售價並不低,奶農不可能不計成本的提高濃度,其次,三聚氰氨水溶性較差,要想完全溶於牛奶比較麻煩;那為什麼媒體,廠家,國 *家質量監督要異口同聲的說是不法之徒加入了三聚氰氨,其實就是為為了掩蓋一個更可怕的問題,那就是加入的其他毒性更大的東西,說穿了就是尿素,尿素作為一種便宜的農家化肥,真是經濟實惠的「好添加劑」。

2、為什麼要加尿素,因為各乳品公司收購鮮奶,測試的標準主要是奶的蛋白質含量,說穿了就是氮的含量,尿素作為一種最普遍的氮肥,由於它獨特的分子結構,記得好像是兩個氮分子配個什麼我忘了,氮的含量當然高了,混入奶中,提高氮濃度,價格自然也賣得高了;


3、尿素怎麼轉化為三聚氰氨的,很簡單,奶粉的生產過程就是將鮮奶放在封閉的環境高溫環境下,然後採取噴霧的方式直接轉化成粉狀就成了奶粉,而尿素在高溫下會產生變化,生成三聚氰氨,OK,有毒的奶粉就這樣生成了。

最後,我在談談我怎麼知道這些內幕的,前幾年,是01年還是02年,我記不太清楚了,在辦理一件帶B社會性質的案件時,他們主要罪狀之一就是把持我市某區的牛奶收購市場,長期以次沖好,我們在辦案中就瞭解到,他們在牛奶中加入尿素、少量食用油,然後加大量水(良心好的加自來水,不好的就直接加池塘或者田里的水),最後用專用的攪拌機進行攪拌,一批蛋白質濃度高的鮮奶誕生了,但最後幾個犯罪分子都翻供,說他們這種做法是普遍的,並不是他們發明的,後來我們專門去**瞭解,確實如此,他們對牛奶收購中出現的這些問題根本沒有比較有效的檢測措施或者是因為收購站點太多,沒有精力和金錢來負擔這麼大的檢測開銷,所以對廣大奶農的行為基本採取的是默認的態度, 而且據在**的瞭解,這種現象在全國的乳製品行業是普遍的,只要存在向奶農收購牛奶,就普遍存在次類現象,所以三鹿事件的發生就是必然的,而且這次三鹿出了事,全國其他所有奶製品企業都保持沉默,沒有一家跳出來指責,什麼原因大家看了我的帖應該心裡有數了吧,最後弱弱的問大家一句,這樣的牛奶你們敢喝嗎?大家好!這幾天出現的「毒奶粉」事件和前幾年的「孔雀石綠」和「蘇丹紅」、「吊白塊」等事件一樣,震 國內外。

如果您和您的家人不慎誤食含有「三聚氰氨」的奶粉,可以多食用些黑木耳。黑木耳對腎結石有強烈的效果,可以把腎結石剝落、溶解並排出體外。一般食用量是已經發好的黑木耳一次50克(兒童)至150克(成人),一般一天一次或兩天一次。

摻假黑木耳的識別
1. 看顏色:質量好的木耳呈烏黑色,色澤均勻;摻假木耳為黑灰色,並拌有白色的附著物。
2. 看外形:優質木耳捲曲緊縮,葉薄且無完整輪廓;摻假木耳由於含有大量米湯和糖,其形態膨脹,顯得肥厚,少捲曲且邊緣較為完整。
3. 看質地:好的木耳堅挺,有韌勁,用手不易捏碎,;摻假木耳較脆易碎,用手稍掰即碎斷脫落,放在口中易變軟。
4. 嘗味道:優質木耳放入嘴裡嚼時,有渾厚鮮味感;而摻假木耳有甜味

為了我們可愛的孩子請轉發給更多的朋友.積德難無人見, 存心自有天知!

匿名 已針對您的文章「為何這許多人無法「清者自清」?」留下新意見:

李察先生:

今次的回應都是承接著之前的問題
對於「清者自清」這個問題

我相信
是因為儒家所說的也許有點太偉大吧
儒家說的
如能做到,實是美好
然而也許如你所言

當國人失去了反思反省之心
當龐大的利潤充斥著頭腦
難以找到一個能「清者自清」的人

國人能重拾往昔士人的德志
應可培育出一群可「清者自清」的人
再次使中國走出醬缸吧

寧願做豬都唔做人

親愛的李察先生,

你所講既野, 對好多人黎講都係難以理解, 佢地又點會討論, 例如, 好多中國人都好貪慕虛榮, 要錢要面要權又鍾意起人地面前吹水炫耀, 但自己又冇本事, 又唔肯努力, 於是女既就係咁逼個老公, 仔女發奮, 要個老公高收入, 學歷, 職位, 錢呀, 又逼d仔女狂補習, 學咩學咩, 年紀輕徑,一日15小時不定操操操, 好多時唔係真係為對方好, 而是為驅逐心中的不安, 滿足自己既虛榮心; 男既不負責任, 不思進取, 以為起情場上可以玩到幾個女人, 自己就好有魅力, 好有能力本事, 但要佢地處理問題就縮到隻狗咁.

佢地d咁既豬腦, 又點會明你講咩.

我知道, 而家起中港台有唔少既團體, 都起度攪緊重新復興孔子既事業, 仲得到好多有才幹既人同企業家既幫助, 發展得好快, 起中國內某d省縣市政府既支持和合作, 如果唔係而家d人咁膚淺,佢地發展得會仲快.

要批孔真係好難, 第一, 百分之99.9999999既中國人都是非不分, 膚淺, 有得食, 有得嘆就得喇! 你講個重要問題, 好似唔關佢地事咁. 唉~~其他既都唔駛我再講.

我估計你提出既問題估計已超出時代二百年, 雖然我獲益良多, 解放了自己既靈魂, 但真係好多中國人寧願做豬都唔做人, 因為做一個可以頂天立地既人所要承擔既責任和可能承受既後果都太大了.

為何這許多人無法「清者自清」?

未留名者 提到...
李察先生:

對於儒家禁錮我國國人思想一事
我有少許看法
孔子固然為了社會秩序
為了恢復其心目中的治世
而設下了一些規限
如忠法禮義等
固然有其不足之處
但所謂禁錮國人精神
我卻認為是後世之人
因著不同的需要
如因統治需要
而任意放大皇權之絕對性
甚至於考試中作為必考之內容
使士人之思想有了規限
然儒家所提倡之「和而不同」
亦足見其對異說之包容
另外
雖然外國未經考察驗證
就妄下判斷實是不對
然而
如若國內之工廠
能以身作則
自能「清者自清」
又何懼他人之無理指控呢?

2008年09月17日 星期三 下午5:02


李察回應...

孔子的思想,本質上就是否定研究大自然,
而且肯定宗法、服從權威。

孔子刪詩,就是開創了思想管制的先河。
到漢朝的真儒家、偽莊子,提出「不辯論」,
造成一言堂的局面,以後成為了中國文化的死局。

孔子思想,是中國落後的主要成因。

孔子禁制中國人的遠古傳承,使中國人的
靈魂無法正常發展。

所以,現代的中國人,連鲁迅都不容許。只
讓他邊緣化地存在。陰乾中國靈魂。

何謂「清者自清」?他們如何「清者自清」?

為何這許多人無法「清者自清」?

朋友,你的問題,很有意思。忘我本來就是一種全情
的投入。投入的時候,未必想得很清楚,這是為了
「甚麼」。但是,每個人,其實都有一種生命的觀點
的。知道自己是為了甚麼。宇宙主宰的觀念,萬物為
一的觀念,其實是非常相似的。當你感覺自己就是
一體中的一體,當你自覺自己的生命和使命,或者,
那就是忘我。

李察時常祈禱。李察相信,祈禱就是跟宇宙主宰溝通。
感覺是很奇妙的。這種感覺,語言未必說得出來。但
溝通是肯定存在的。你會知道,你己經得到了訊息。

李察曾在若干作品中描述過。在拙作「我是爸爸」中
也寫過。

Dear Lee Chard, Can speed of light be slowed down?
The answer is YES.

Light in water is "refracted". Refraction is a slowed
beam of light. Einstein talked of light as an absolute
value, that is in a vacuum. In a dense media, light
transmission will be slowed down. HY

Dear HY

Thank you So much, that saves us a lot of trouble.

but still, can you tell us something more about light.

like, how is light "generated?"

can we generate some slowmotion light in a vacuum? or even
in the atmosphere?

and actually, our interest is on electricity more.
can the "speed" of electricity be slowed down also?

may be, that is something we call "chi" (氣)

It could be very, very, very interesting.

The Big Question: What does it mean for the US if whites are no longer in the majority?

The Big Question: What does it mean for the US if whites are no longer in the majority?




By Paul Vallely
Friday, 15 August 2008

The white population will begin to shrink from 2031. By contrast, the population of Hispanic Americans, who have a much higher birth rate, will double so that one in three American citizens will be of Spanish background........

What are the political implications?

Considerable. Two things are going on. The white population is getting older and the non-white population is getting younger. By 2030, nearly one in five US residents is expected to be over the age of 65, with the proportion highest among whites. By mid-century the number of elderly people will have doubled. By contrast, by as soon as 2023, more than half of America's children will be non-white. ..................


Will the US change beyond recognition?

........ Whites will decline from their present 64.7 per cent of the population. But they will still be the biggest single group, representing 46 per cent compared to the Hispanics' 30 per cent. The whites will still exert a cultural dominance.


Does America face fundamental change?

Yes...

* Jobs will less often be allocated on racial lines and white housing will be desegregated
* The worst-educated whites will increasingly take on more menial, low-status jobs .......


No...

* The whites will remain the largest ethnic group and their values will remain dominant
* Latinos will integrate into the English-speaking culture as other groups did before............

Dear Andrew,

I like watching movies, it is also another good stimulation to our brains.

Can population be reduced?

Can population on earth be reduced by human themselves?

Can War, or Terrorist act, or atomic bombs etc reduce human population?

My own guess is that: It may not.

Human can :"destroy" human kind , but not easy to "reduce" the size of population

for the example of China......Do you think the Chinese can reduce themselves

into the figure of 17th Century? (by the same method of present population control?
supposing the reducing rate be 0.8 )

by the year 2108: 1.3 billion X 0.8 = 1.08 billion

by the year 2208: 1.08 billion X 0.8 = 0.832 billion

by the year 2308: 0.332 billion X 0.8 = 0.6656 billion

by the year 2408: 0.6656 billion X 0.8 = 0.53248 billion

by the year 2508: 0.53248 billion X 0.8 = 0.425984 billion


..........These are interesting wrong calculations. Hope the scholars
could figure that out.

Scarcity of water

If you could count..........
Dear Leechard,

Scarcity of water, food and energy crisis, the soil and air pollution, population crisis ,and global warming, are the major threats for us human.

I have read an guardian article that British is now facing it.

The daily consumption of every British citizen is found to be as much as 4,645 litres, if other factors, the amount of water required in planting the vegetables and fruits, the potatoes, the apples, are included in this calculation.

It is astonishing to hear that as we have never thought of the volume of water being used by a man in one day, as in the previous study, people has neglected that the planting water for vegetables and fruits, which is an important factor affecting human water consumption.

I wish that people in Britain and elsewhere on earth, could understand the importance of this news. It could be better if the green organization, the Environmental department, and farmers can do this kind of study in Hong kong.

This is very important mission, as hong kong also faces this kind of water shortage problems in the recent years but people do not realize how this affects their life.

世界會有文化重心嗎?

nightingale 已針對您的文章「「知識危機」是甚麼?」留下新意見:

世界會唔會有文化重心?
因為世界上有些國家的文化比較有影響力。例如︰中國、印度,亞洲人的文化幾乎來自這兩個國家。
英國、以色列,歐洲人的文化都有它們的影子。
如果這些國家重新上路,會唔會新的時代正式來臨。


李察回應:

你的問題很奇怪,但這也是許多不同文化的共通心理:

他們都渴想自己成為重心。

其實,凡是渴想自己領導群倫的人,通常都失敗的。

因為,那些都只是私心,而非真心。

文化的真正成就,出自真心。

真心前進,就會無私博愛,就能看到宇宙的真面,就能真正掌握時代規律。

反駁知識危機論 之二

Subject: 反駁知識危機論 之二
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:48:13 +0800


世界無窮願無盡,蒼天遼闊立多時

知識是無法窮盡,佢是一個 limit ( pure maths 的術語)

意思就像一個地球上的人奔趕太陽,他是永遠無法追趕

只可望而不可及.

我深信只要有人類存在的一日,新知識的誕生便不會停止

不管知識往後怎樣地被卑視,被封鎖

人的求知慾仍是不滅,因為這是天性

正如每個男人都想戳破女人閏房窗上的一層薄紙,

一睹裏面風景

即使在眾口噤嗟的時候,時代仍會呼喚出巨人

(如生物學所謂的mutation )

他是時代的摧化劑.如貝多芬

承先啟後

在看似山窮水盡的一刻,忽然奇峰特出,另起爐灶

by Victoria


李察回應:

謝謝你提出「精神危機」的想法。

李察十分欣賞這種想法。

而「精神危機」未必是跟「知識危機」對立的。

可能是「知識」兩字,範圍是比較窄的,容易使人誤會,
以為又是我們一向自幼被灌輸的死知識。

如果換了是:「文化危機」,又會使人不明所以。

但是,無論如何,「精神」問題,確是人類的最重要大問題。

只是,這些都是言詞之分。更重要的是看到整個的畫面。

在學術的象牙塔裏,仍有好多人追求新的知識

舉例說,科學家仍孜孜不倦地找出一條能解釋

整個宇宙的一條公式,

每當有新的知識出世,學術雜誌便會紛紛介紹

需然關心學術的人不多,但熱心推廣的人還是有的

其實枯燥的學術永遠是學院派的人坐在書房裏的幾人話題

永遠都是燈火欄柵處一嶼冷僻的孤島

但這是不要緊的

正如德蘭修女,她參與了最寂寞的旅程,嬴得了世人的尊敬

她是沉迷世界裏的一柱精神岸燈,

在黑暗降臨的時刻,她會光芒大地,

在深谷的邊陲,把我地拉上來

可是現時象牙塔對岸的燈已熄滅

人類面對的是精神危機.

proposal of labrary

Dear leechard,

Your proposal of labrary, a combination of laboratory and library, would provide the service of both institution to us as we have already enjoyed these for three hundreds years, since the beginning of latest oil culture. I believe and you are right to believe that it shall be a good instrument to enable us to explore the frontier of knowledge and develop new technologies to be applied in future. It would be your wish, as well as the wish of me, your readers, the intellectuals, and those who wish to save the mankind and earth, that this proposal would soon be true one day. Let us pray for God that by his mercy, labrary would be built as soon as possible and as many as possible, in every quarter of globe where there is a vast population of human live, and it would then become a source of new human thought.
I also wish to say a word or two on where labrary would be built.
Freedom of speech and thought is the first and essential element required by this institution. The high standard of tolerance of various opinions over a very sensitive issue, just like whether the Christ is a soul or human, which would be a main component of the freedom, should be the character of people in the place with labrary. I have seen, and I am sure you and your readers have seen these people nowadays, they are the people in Western world, the British, The American, the Dutch. If people shall not allow the words different from themselves to be heard, and ever expressed, i do not think that a labrary would still perform its duty well.
The high level of education of the population there is essential too. I expect they should have a good proficiency of the language used in their places, and some international languages, Chinese and English. They should have a sound understanding of the local and international affairs, just like the global warming. Music, Art should be the interest of them and they could appreciate many great musicians and artists, like Mozart, Handel. They should have learned much in science, Physics, Chemistry , Biology and Mathematics, Astronomy, Meteorology They could know what Newton laws of motion are and their application, how organic matters undergoes different type of reaction, the way using the differentiation and integrations in caculus, and they could know much about animals and plants, and different species living there and how the genetic knowledge is used. They would understand the impact of the rainstorm and drought to their life, and have the deep knowledge of planets and stars in the univense. Above all, they like to make many inventions, machines and tools, just like Mr Chen, that they are of use to human life.
I think that by these two qualities, that man in that place shall give the labrary the power to develop human thinking and revolutionize the world that it could move to a sunlit highland. I am pleased if you and your readers can find this article useful. If you can add your ideas in the requirement to make labrary successful, I shall be very happy
I wish to hear from you soon. I have no objection if you make this letter in public.

Best regards,

What do they think about Solzhenitsyn

In to day's International edition of the New York Times,
a writer Serge Schmemann talked about Solzhenitsyn.

Its worth reading, as he mentioned how Solzhenitsyn arrived
England the first time he left Russia, and talked very eagerly
with an Orthodox Theologian and Historian, because he wanted
to know the true history about Russia, as he had never have
the chance to read about. They talked for a long time.

And it is worth notice too, that the writer himself have a
comment on Solzhenitsyn. And this is his only comment.

He said: "Solzhenitsyn achieved his immortality before he
became conscious of his power, and then slid into irrelevant
pedantry."

What is "irrelevant pedantry"?

It means he is nothing.

Solzhenitsyn is the only writer who can comment deeply
on the modern value the Americans so care about. It is
the materialism Solzhenitsyn found in the States. It is
the same kind of materialism in Russia and United States.

So, some of the writers, like Mr. Schmemann, said
he is "irrelevant". And this is New York Times.

When I tried to log on yr blog, I can only see a small part in the top, then I saw the pop out menu:

"internet explorer cannot display the webpage"

A few trials gave the same result.

I did not log on in the last few days, so I do not know when it started.

Try it yourself.

The news says that the Olympic reporters have restricted access to certain websites.

人口大約是很難自然地下降的呢。

如何令人能去主動愛人, 令人更有愛心呢?

但而家中產以上既都唔肯生, 反而冇錢果d就會生, 發達地區既出生率一直下降, 如果人類越來越有錢, 就會越來越唔生, 人口應自然地下降吧!

怎樣才能稱得上偉大?

怎樣才能稱得上偉大?

mozart ,chopin,brahms,paganni......算偉大嗎?

的確.他們的音樂為世人帶來歡樂,令沉悶的世界色彩紛陳

但他們創作的動機卻可能只是出於一己的發洩,或為名利,或為成就

他們可能從來沒有想個為世界帶來什麼,甚至恨透這個世界

究竟偉大是指個人的才華,還是心底的大愛?

另外,你認為新一輩的鋼琴家怎樣?


Pun


李察的回應:

你說,他們的「動機」可能只是為了「個人」的一己之私。

但是,倘若細心觀察他們的一生,觀察他們的作品,為人,
甚至是傳記等,你會發現,通常被稱為「偉大」的人,都有
一顆異常純潔的心的。

而所謂「偉大」,是指他們的貢献。沒有貢献,就不是偉大。

................

至於新一代的鋼琴家,認識不多。沒有甚麼系統的想法呢。

範圍和層次都是豐富得我們無法想像

Peggy 已針對您的文章「「造物主,您是怎樣思考的」?」留下新意見:

「你們是怎樣思考的,我就是怎樣思考的。」

我看過大部份聖經, 我認為是很相似的, 不過 衪所掌握的範圍和層次都是豐富得我們無法想像, 例如佛說我地有六識, 眼耳鼻舌身意, 去感知世界, 上帝 至少有六識以上去感知萬物, 好似我地有兩隻手, 衪有一千隻手, 人同單細包生物既分別.

就是因為你的問題很怪異

未留名者 已針對您的文章「為甚麼汽車不能吃叉燒飯?」留下新意見:

當年我之所以在明報副刊留意到你的文章,
就是因為你的問題很怪異
好奇一看
見解也相當妙哉
很懷念呢
希望你繼續提出這些問題
震盪一下我們的思維!

李察回應

謝謝鼓勵!

見證左無數偉大既價值, 堅毅, 忍耐, 愛, 信任, 創造, 這些都是六千萬年前既恐龍不能想像.

Peggy 已針對您的文章「為甚麼汽車不能吃叉燒飯?」留下新意見:

親愛的李察先生,

在我工作的地方, 別說這種問題, 連一些對應現實的問題, 亦不能問, 他們說是因為規矩至上, 後來我發現是因為面子至上, 後來我發現係因為他們, 在上位既人既冇能, 才是真正既原因.

李察先生啊, 我這幾天在想, 那些恐龍稱霸地球1億6千萬年, 最後變成石油, 我地人類用左百幾年既時間就用完了. 假設如果恐龍既存在係為左成為石油, 咁我地人類既存在係為左咩呢? 我地人類存在左幾千年, 見證左無數偉大既價值, 堅毅, 忍耐, 愛, 信任, 創造, 這些都是六千萬年前既恐龍不能想像. 地球已經有45億年歷史, 仲有約五十億年, 太陽係就會消失, 人類總有消失既一日, 這些都是大大超出了我們可以想像到的範圍. 而我既結論係無論將來既環境係幾咁艱苦, 我地都要努力活下去, 見證偉大既價值, 先可以向 上帝交代, 先可以登上天國既階梯, 進入窄門.

Peggy


李察回應:

你的問題,提得極好呢。

你問:咁我地人類既存在係為左咩呢?

讓我們大家都來想一想吧。

書展係就係好多人

peggy 已針對您的文章「沒有了石油,還有沒有石油文化?」留下新意見:

親愛的李察先生,

很遺憾我呢兩日起書展反工, 書展係就係好多人,但真係買書既攤位幾乎都係冇咩人去睇既. 反而果d買精品既, 雜誌, 漫畫, 有好多禮物送果d就人山人海, 好多人都起度兜圈, 兜下兜下, 都唔知自己行咩, 不過d friends, 女/男朋友話黎行咪跟過黎行下囉! 有d同佢地做推介, 傾下計可以係發覺呢個人d思維其實好簡單, 李察先生啊! 起香港其實有好多人都唔鍾意用腦, 我已前識個人佢講明話我下諗野就頭痛, 有好多人一面對問題就係逃避, 不斷逃避. 最好就係唔駛做, 有得食, 日日飲飲食食, 吃喝玩樂, 永遠唔駛諗野, 唔駛承擔, 一直一直, 咩都唔駛諗! 呢個就係我眼中既現代人思維網絡, 我但願我係錯.

謝謝你告訴大家「書展」的一些現象呢。

如果我地可以用到天上既能源你話幾好

Dear 李察先生,

我記得已前起明珠台睇左一個節目, 話天上打一下雷,
果個電夠全世界用電量數一數二既紐約市用兩個月,
你話如果我地可以用到天上既能源你話幾好, 因為我
知地球好多地方都會打雷, 咁味唔駛爭, 幾好!

Peggy

李察回應:

真的。真的。如果能夠用一點天然的能源,所有問題,
都可以解決了。

問題是:為甚麼人類到了今天,仍想不出好辦法?

因為:我們尚未開始去想呢?
因為:我們的思想是諸多受限的呢?

Would you like to share a little secret

Dear Mr. Lee,

Here I would like to express my respect and appreciation towards your articles, your words and yuor thoughts in the blog. I have never seen a blog with countless philosophical ideas like yours. That's why your blog is so fascinating to me.

May I ask a question, have you ever thought to publish or have you published your articles in a single book? If you have, I would like to buy that book immediately and regard it as my best-love book on the book shelf.

In my mind, you are very lucky since there are so many people read and reply your articles. The most important thing is, the readers are truly reading and comprehending the content. I don't know how to create a successful blog like yours, not only readable but also educational and philosophical. The readers of my blog always forget about my words, or even they don't comprehend at all and just climb through the lines. Would you like to share a little secrets of creating a successful blog? Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Wincy Arancon

儲存了古老陽光能源的燃料是會用盡的,問題(何時用完)是怎樣去用,效率如何 .... 差別可以很大

若果沒有適量的節制 即使發展了低成本的核聚變能源 其他資源也會用盡的
各方面的社會及政治爭鬥依然h存在

再生能源(現時陽光送給的能源)可以提供部份 卻不足現今社會揮霍

核能現時已經是一些西歐國家發電的能源 相信是由於政治及經濟壟斷
沒有持續發展 仍停留在幾十年前的階段 例如鈾以外也可用釷
還可以用掉現時的核廢料 ....

煤也是古老陽光能源的燃料 也可以轉化為石油

一個產品的發展是多階段的

現時的能源問題似乎是政治問題多於知識或技術問題 如何解決用盡石油
問題也是政治問題多於知識或技術問題. ???

李察回應:

其實,政治問題是從屬性的。
政治家的思維,一般都是從現存的思想網絡來。

當全部思想網絡的注視焦點不在此處,就等於
沒有人留意到問題的嚴重了。

我地中國人就算死淨最後一個都唔會面對現實

peggy 已針對您的文章「新的能源,能否極速發生?」留下新意見:

要人類明白了要有全新的求知網絡,和一場能源危機,知識危機,並很快找到方法的。根據人類面對問題既歷史, 我的態度是悲觀的, 人類多數都係等到悲劇一發不可收拾先會作出反省, 找解決方法, 不過呢個係西方人, 我地中國人過左一千年都仲攪唔清王安石既問題, 魯迅被邊緣化, 柏楊更加唔係歷史學家, 我認為我地中國人就算死淨最後一個都唔會面對現實, 黑暗既日子即將來臨, 而且不可避免, 但我會相信黑暗會過去, 而人類文明中既精華所在, 不會滅亡.

很難相信,你說的可能是真的。

經脈陰陽之奧妙

未留名者 已針對您的文章「「電」的相反是甚麼?」留下新意見:


太有意思了!
想到中醫了。。經脈陰陽之奧妙,現代科學恐怕也難以解釋吧。。
然而古代先哲們之所以能如此通靈,或許正和未受“現代教育”有關吧。。
也許宇宙間的智慧是由靈性和知性相輔相成的。。靈性本來萬物都有,只是過度追求知識(邏輯)的話,便漸漸減損了吧。。
也許植物、山水這些看似沒有智慧的存在,其實有著人類難以匹敵的靈性呢。。畢竟是先有了它們,才有了我們啊。。
古人敬畏天地自然,現代人卻要征服它。但兜了一個圈子,最終一定會回到起點,在那裡尋找靈性和知性的平衡點吧。。
我是這樣相信的。。

喂李察

親愛的李察先生,

這幾日我睇左幾本關於石油危機既書,
原來近十年黎, 好多學者專家都不斷出書又呼籲石油危機既事, 但我竟從未在媒體中聽過一毫, 我同朋友講, 佢地仲渾渾噩.. 仲話有好多其他能源, 卻一點都唔知e d能源都係用石油推動, 而且根本冇可能取代石油既位置...佢地既態度係完全唔想討論呢個問題, 亦不斷否認有呢個問題存在...

我對人類可以渡過呢個危機, 找到新既能源係有住絕對既信心, 但之前我地會有一段非常困難既時期, 而且將會致少死幾十億人...

at a different side of river

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "莫扎特的交響曲有甚麼好聽?":

Leechard:

I did not notice you have answered my question regarding "mahler's symphony best performance" a month ago, I am very grateful for your answer and recommendation. I hope I can listen to it soon.

I always think Mozart's Requiem stand at a different side of river to most of his works. It is rather crude and unfair to say is not good enough, afterall he is the only one closest to perfection, but one has a feeling he has allocated some of his genius into his works, instead of pouring heart and soul inside it as requiem does. But the spirituality (mind if I use this word) is evident in requiem, at the begining, you can hear those contrapunctual resonance of strings joins in, which carries a very strange blend of favour and element from Bach's and Mozart his own. Perhaps I am more familiar with Bach's piano and vocal music, as Bach in my opinion represent the summit of Spirituality and Technique in classical music.

Even Mozart himself could not believe his life be fated to have his end so early, hence his last bid will be this composition, and Requiem represent somehow a final confrontation with his Bach question, and an attempt at reconciliation with Spirituality, one could not denied this emergency within, it is very different to other heavenly, light, pleasurely works. Ironically, intentinally by above or not, he died without finishing Lacrimosa, although Sussmayr finished it nicely, sometime I imagine if the whole composition just end abruptly at the eighth bar will be better? - This is my very first listening experience for Requiem, without knowing the Latin lyrics.


Leechard's feedback

You are to the point. Actually, Mozart has arrive his peak only at his death bed.
Hence, he is now reached at a different side of the river, it is the Chinese meaning of 彼岸。

If the listener can have a total shock at this moment, then he will have a complete satisfation, and he will think that this is the real Mozart.

And one more important thing: it seems Mozart has the ability to let his pupil understand his will, and the final work which is done by the pupil comes up with such perfectness and you will never doubt this is the real Mozart in there.
