说文解字片段

“仓颉之初作书,盖依类象形,故谓之文。其后,形声相宜,则谓之字。文者,物像之本也。字者,言孽乳而浸多也。“ “依类象形”, 则文是抽象的符号。而字同时有声有形。利用形声相宜的手段,字可以滋生,从单体的语言单位(按照规则)滋生为复体。许慎在几乎两千年前,观点已经暗合简简致繁的思想。

市场是会话

Paul讲博客史,谈到当年网络热忱者们的宣言:“市场是会话。”

新的热情

曾经有投入或介入(Engagement)到存在中去的热情,还有一种热情是关于系统、形式或者结构的。 “抵抗就是对邪恶说不。” “那种深深浸透我们,那种在我们之前就已存在,那种把我们在时空中凝成一体的东西,的确就是系统。 ‘我’被消灭了。我们现在关心的是发现‘有’(there is)。” “语言是一种形式而非一个实体。” 而新的热情,是存在与结构、自由与意义在数位时代新的综合。
