为了看电影奥德赛这几天在恶补希腊神话。看完奥德赛，发现整个希腊文学和希腊史都得读起来才能把很多思考和后劲儿连起来。 这种organic reading 很爽。为了兴趣和求知欲而进行的阅读。

这是我和我老婆晚餐时候的对话， 你认为她说的对吗？ My Wife: You know, I've been reading about this Chinese concept of "face" lately. Me: Really? What brought that on? My Wife: Honestly? Living with a Chinese husband made me curious. Me: Uh oh. And what did you find? My Wife: Well, I used to think face just meant pride or reputation. But now I think it's much more complicated than that. Me: That's already better than most explanations. My Wife: What surprised me is that face isn't really something a person owns by themselves. It's something that exists between people. Me: Go on. My Wife: If I understand it correctly, giving someone face is a way of showing public respect, recognition, and consideration. And when you give someone face, there's an expectation that they'll give you face in return. Me: That's actually pretty accurate. My Wife: So face is reciprocal. It's not just about protecting your own image. It's about maintaining a relationship where both sides acknowledge each other's dignity. Me: Exactly. My Wife: And if one side refuses to give the other face, it's usually not seen as a small social mistake. It can be interpreted as disrespect, and sometimes even as hostility. Me: You're sounding more Chinese every minute. My Wife: Don't worry, I'm still American. I just finally realized that "face" isn't the same thing as self-esteem. It's more like a social obligation to recognize and respect the other person. Me: That's one of the best explanations I've heard from a non-Chinese person. My Wife: What really made it click for me is this: Americans often see respect as something personal. Chinese culture sees respect as something relational. Face is what helps keep those relationships in balance. Me: I couldn't have said it better myself. My Wife: So, to me, face isn't about ego. It's about reciprocity. It's the understanding that respect has to flow both ways. When people stop giving each other face, the relationship starts to break down.

很多人在复盘Plasma没有参与到，其实很大的原因是今年以来大多数人都沉浸在链上pvp，关注了大量的meme博主导致timeline紊乱，节奏转换很重要，可能在大量新台子出现的时候，就应该要意识到该变节奏了。 Plasma tge的时候才发现有这个项目，很大程度是没有在推上建立自己的信息流，像我打开推特一般都会先进入Reading(自己创建的分类，定期增删)。Plasma我没有深度参与，但是 老陆的推文我是一条不落，所以也有收获。 不要过于迷恋版本之子，对于我来说，每个版本都有收获才是最终的目的。
