Money Can Reunite Hong Kong
If I ran for Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, I’ll win by a landslide margin, and gain unanimous support from everyone, including Beijing

每人五十萬填補香港裂痕
假如我競選香港特首,會以壓倒性票數勝出。而上任後,一眾議員,左右前後,真假民主,都會放下口號,萬眾一心地支持我實現競選承諾。我的競選策略簡單易明,絕無取巧,連中學未畢業的本土革命議員也一聽便心明大義,心急的甚至會上街遊行,強烈要求我提早接班。更妙的是北北京的策略專家們暗自讚許

Me? Commenting on badminton? 吓!我也來評羽毛球?
I normally only watch sports on TV when there’s no escape. But the Olympic badminton final last night was a great match, and unexpectedly...

我也來撐唐納德(特朗普)
美國大選就像一場連載真人秀。很多外人越看越投入,連自己不是美國人也忘記了。看到唐納德這個混蛋越戰越勇,血壓跟著上升。這個壞傢伙也可以當總統!氣死人了!見到他那髮型,真不開胃!我奉勸大家且不要動氣。第一,這是美國大選,不關咱們屁事。第二,民主選舉不過娛樂事業,誰當選最後都一樣...

給三億中國人美籍是三贏政策
習近平和奧巴馬應該在即將舉行的高峰會議中,研究把三億中國人轉移美國。這是個三贏方案。 根據國際民調機構(如 PEW)的報告,中國政府的民間支持率大概80%。如此高的民望,單數位的「民主國家」 望塵莫及。可惜中國太大。20%的人不滿,代表...

Giving American Citizenship to 300M Chinese is Win-Win

夢想亞歐新紀元
這個歌舞昇平,股票飆升的世界,其實十分危險。一下擦槍走火,隨時要承受人類史上最嚴重的災難。不過有危便有機。我相信化解目前危機的一個現實希望,是歐亞攜手創造一個真正屬於大多數人的世界新秩序,擺脫單靠槍桿子打造一言堂的所謂 「世界秩序」。難以想象?但幾千年來,這世界絕大部分時候...

中国的假蛋风云
还记得大陆的假鸡蛋吗?我当年目睹不少亲友因为假蛋而失明或思想瘫痪,而自己也为了假鸡蛋而饱受随时破产的心理威胁,弄到精神衰弱,毕生难忘。

美麗北國(4)-芬蘭聖誕與蝗蟲(第2部分):蝗蟲論
在Levi 度假期間,收到友人分享一篇香港 “南華早報” 的報導,說 Lapland 近年的中國旅客,有激增之勢。作者的論點奇特。他解釋中國人到Lapland旅遊,是因為國內基督教崛起。他引述美國Purdue 大學楊教授(有中文名的美國教授,當然是中國國情專家啦!)的見解,...

美麗北國(4)-芬蘭聖誕與蝗蟲(第一部分):Lapland
聖誕期間,我和家人在芬蘭北部 Lapland 做了“蝗蟲”,在冰冷的北極圈內受到當地人熱情招待,頗有感受。在分享蝗蟲經驗前,先來看看芬蘭著名的聖誕村是個甚麼模樣。 聖誕老人在小鎮 Rovaniemi 的家,是個小精靈購物村。跟他老人家拍照留念,除了要付款,還得排隊半小時以上...

科學迷信
兩位“筆友”,最近經電郵激烈辯論 “科學迷信” 這議題。一位認為科學是探索宇宙最高智慧的優雅手段。另一位認為科學無非人類又一偉大幻覺,與最終 “現實” 拉不上關係。兩位都是僑居海外的教授級學者,都曾經在大學教理工科。我覺得他們兩位的論點精辟,...

Superstition in Science

微积分看宿命论
量子物理學目前面對的問題與國際政治很相似。兩者都越來越 “違反常理”,與直覺 “現實” 不符,甚至不可思議。我們自以為知道得越多,就越糊塗

Calculus of Predetermination

愚蠢之谜
愚蠢,這二十一世紀的摩登福氣,表面看來是個謎。 用今天的眼光去看,笨因子對人類的進化毫無貢獻,卻在智人的基因庫中坐大,實在令人費解。難道古人覺得笨蛋趣怪好玩,所以收養繁殖?又或許傻人一副可憐相,能夠博取大眾同情?動物世界中也的確存在不少垃圾染色體,...
