Notes on what I am learning, thinking, and making.

Writing this text is not to offer empty chicken soup, nor to shout grand slogans, but simply to have a good talk with today's young people about the era we are experiencing, about the confusions hidden behind anxiety, about what we can do, about the hopes we have overlooked, and about the ideals we dare not easily speak aloud. 1. The confusion of young people is never your fault. I know that your generation, from birth, has lived in a somewhat chaotic, somewhat exhausted, somewhat tense era—open your phone and you see opposing voices, in your ears is the lingering anxiety of involution, before your eyes is the single-plank bridge of middle school exams, college entrance exams, and job hunting, and occasionally you hear people say "the world

Reflecting on three years of university, the author describes the challenges of intensive academic reading and the evolution of their workflow from traditional methods to AI-assisted tools. They introduce SwiftScholar, a project that embodies the principle that efficiency should not come at the cost of independent thinking, offering bilingual, structured, and reorganized paper content with support for figures and formulas.

Fireworks go off. I fumble out my phone from the darkness. Still 2025. In this tiny crevice of time, I kiss a plastic flower. A squirrel rolls down from the roof. People exchange blessings. As if only at this milestone of time do people deeply reflect. Then say, why don't we start over. The crevice between 2025 and 2026, Manchester.

Generative AI has been introduced to higher education with the publication of ChatGPT Hu, 2023, cited in Chan and Hu, 2023, leading to a debatable topic of responsible use. Generative AI "GenAI" is a software designed to

Education's aversion to distractions, from leisure books to electronic devices (pagers, computers, phones) and automation tools (calculators, AI). How to return to the goal of nurturing people should start from the legitimacy of the 'taken-for-granted' prohibition. A common saying is that objects cause people to lose the mindset for learning. Because when people see them, they think of how to use them, or how they interrupt some important continuity. Opposing voices say that the 'one-size-fits-all' approach is for management convenience, and institutions, for the huge responsibility they bear (they do not hesitate to take these responsibilities from the audience), arbitrarily expand their management rights. There is an online image saying 'The state has national laws, schools have school rules. Because the national burden-reduction policy violates...'

To the members of the Eight and a Half team: This is an outcome none of us wanted to see. But as a nobody, all I can do is offer my most sincere wishes to your team. The world is declining, and people's hearts are not what they used to be. In an era where the space for public opinion is increasingly shrinking, even a voice as gentle as the Daoist's, almost to the point of cowardice, has been silenced. But please believe that there will always be rational, brave young people who care about the world, constantly absorbing the nourishment of knowledge and turning it into theoretical weapons. They strive to see, keep shouting, and shine a light for their ideals. In Guangzhou, I once asked the Daoist, "From 'knowledge changes the world' to 'knowledge lights up corners,' have you been continuously losing faith in this world?" The Daoist did not answer me directly.

Children can see what is in adults' eyes. Their souls. Children think it is their own face.

Throughout the entire film, we can see very neat plot development, timely humorous seasoning, and classic problem-style answers. The most prominent (and also the most impressive to me) is when the senior sister asks Xiaohei, "If humans and demons really start fighting, which side will you stand on?" The senior sister's answer is to stand on the side of the demons (her own race), while Xiaohei's answer is to stand on the side of what is right. Looking at it from the front, the reverse, and the middle, how do we arrive at the "correct" conclusion? I think this is a question that can never be answered, so I consider Xiaohei's answer to be an answer from a child's perspective. A trolley problem can trap such naive ideals, and in the film, the airplane segment reflects the inadaptability of Xiaohei's theory in the real world.

Yuzi: Thank you for your serious answer, I am truly moved. Please forgive me for daring to ask this question that has been pent up for years, seemingly because I had too much to drink; perhaps it also has to do with the beard. You are a very perceptive person, or perhaps we see the world in similar ways. I agree with your view, and I am grateful for the efforts you have made in our relationship. I understand that the special nature of Ran and my relationship seems to have greatly affected the relationship among the four of us. Actually, I do not think you hate me (although we do not contact each other much), and I even feel that the parts where we communicate are quite smooth. It is just that Zhang Ran repeatedly expresses it this way (actually we all know what she needs), and out of rebellion I want to disprove it (am I the one shirking responsibility?).
