關於 freedom of speech important ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

I have been reading and hearing about the parliament session that took place yesterday. But I refuse to comment till I watch the full session.

As a former journalist, it's important to be non bias and to hear both sides of the story. As I try very, very hard to listen to the whole 3hour + session, and listen to the "debate", it brings me back to something closer to home.

I have always tried to live by "we can agree to disagree" and the right to freedom of speech. God has made us all unique and diverse with different personalities. So how do we live in harmony with these differences?

It is not easy. But it can be managed.

Let us be constructive in our discourse and offer solutions with grace.

In these challenging times, it is tougher for the emotions and our mental strength. But together? We CAN bring about the change for betterment.

We just have to be kind and mindful and set our intentions right.

Stay safe everyone. We can't please everyone, but I do know that positivity breeds positivity.

Love and Light.

歐盟對中國的戰略，包括假訊息的對抗！
The EU must arm itself against disinformation, censorship and spying
歐盟必須武裝自己以對抗假訊息、監控審查和間諜活動

中國政府利用 COVID-19 疫情危機，透過社群媒體的假訊息、中國官員的錯誤陳述和宣傳來分裂歐盟。這種對輿論的積極操控破壞信任並搬弄是非。歐盟必須採取更強而有力的戰略來應對這些激進的假新聞宣傳，並讓試圖分裂歐盟和損害歐盟利益的國家付出代價。這包括建立一個“遠東戰略通訊工作小組”，該小組將辨別、監管和反擊假訊息宣傳和中國針對特定國家的行動。

除了中國的假訊息令人擔憂以外，中國政權還試圖審查歐洲和歐盟的出版品。我們強力譴責咄咄逼人的宣傳和攻擊性的“戰狼外交”，對歐盟會員、成員國和歐盟的持續侮辱，及網路攻擊和間諜活動，並無法創造一個有利對話互信的環境。

我們強調，言論自由是民主最重要的支柱之一。我們呼籲我們的領導人確保歐盟永遠不會屈服於這種壓力。

中國對歐洲精英實施主動監控，包括現任和前任官員、其家人、學者、有為年輕的專業人士和其他公眾人物。它嘗試影響歐盟及其成員國的決策，並招募目標人員從事間諜活動。對這些行動的認知辨識能力必須提升，專責的安全機構必須調查和預防此種間諜活動。

The COVID-19 crisis has been used by the Chinese government to divide the EU via disinformation on social media, false statement by Chinese officials and propaganda. This active manipulation of the public opinion undermines trust and sows discord. The EU must introduce a more robust strategy to counter these aggressive disinformation campaigns and impose costs on countries that try to divide the EU and harmour interests. This includes the establishment of a ‘Far-East Strat Com Task Force’ as part of the EEAS, that will identify, monitor and counter the disinformation campaigns and nation-specific actions coming from China.

Not only Chinese disinformation campaigns are worrying. The Chinese regime also tried to censor publications by the European External Action Service and the EU-ambassadors. We condemn the aggressive propaganda and offensive “wolf warrior diplomacy” that led to continuous insults against elected Members, Member States and the EU as well as the cyber-attacks and attempts at espionage which do not create a trustful environment for dialogue.

We stress that the freedom of speech one of the most important pillars of a democracy. We call on our leaders to ensure that the European Union never gives into this kind of pressure.

China implements an active surveillance of European elites, which include current and former officials, their family members, academics, promising young professionals and other public figures. Among its attempts is to affect the decision-making in the EU and its Member States and to recruit targeted persons for spying activities. Awareness about these actions needs to be raised and espionage activities must be investigated and prevented by the responsible security institutions.

There’s rhythm in writing! 🎶

這個禮拜Presentality的Andrew來分享英文寫作的節奏!

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我的工作需要看非常多的英文。

其中有英文母語的人寫的，也有非母語的人寫的。最近，我注意到一個兩者之間很明顯的差別。這個差別很少有人提到，因為它無關文法正確，也不是有學問的用語，或是文雅的詞彙。

是句子的長短。

Well，更正確的來說，是長句跟短句的交錯。我發現，非母語人士寫的英文句子，不但比英文母語的人寫的長，而且是大部分句子都很長。

母語的人，尤其是很會寫的人，則是會把長句跟短句混合搭配。
那又怎樣？

★★★★★★★★★★★★

你可能會說 ok，以英文為母語的人比較會用短的句子，那又怎樣？句子的長短，跟我寫作的好壞，有關嗎？

關係可大了。

就像音樂，或是影片，文字也是「內容」。只要是「內容」，就有它的節奏。你可以想像一首曲子，從頭到尾都是很長的音，而且一點變化都沒有嗎？或是一部很長的影片，從頭到尾都是很長的畫面，而且一點節奏的變化都沒有嗎？

Well actually，你應該可以想像，這些就是要幫助我們睡眠的。
如果你不想要你的讀者覺得無聊或甚至睡著，我建議適度變換你文字的節奏。

但我們先看案例。

我拿一篇台灣人寫的文，跟另一篇美國人寫的，來做比較：把每個句子都分拆成不同的段落，句子的長短就一目了然了。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

但我們先看案例。

我拿一篇台灣人寫的文，跟另一篇美國人寫的，來做比較：把每個句子都分拆成不同的段落，句子的長短就一目了然了。

📌 台灣案例：Taipei Times Opinion

1. The TAIEX last month rose above 17,000 points as rallies in steel, shipping and some non-tech stocks offset a weakness in semiconductor and electronics stocks.

2. While news about a cluster of local COVID-19 infections connected with China Airlines cargo pilots and a hotel in Taoyuan fueled selling pressure early this month and pushed the local stock market into consolidation mode, the daily market turnover in the first two trading sessions of this month hit fresh highs.

3. Moreover, Taiwan’s stock trading volume last month began to surpass that of Hong Kong for the first time in 15 years, which was beyond most market participants’ expectations.

4. Taiwan’s daily market turnover exceeding Hong Kong’s might gradually become a new normal from this year, and there are good reasons for this.

5. First, Hong Kong’s stock market has lost its appeal to foreign investors since China last year imposed national security legislation on the territory, triggering a potential flight of capital and talent.

6. Second, many wealthy Taiwanese tend to park their overseas funds in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Switzerland and the US, but government statistics showed that more than 80 percent of funds repatriated by wealthy individuals last year were from Hong Kong, as they saw the political situation in the territory worsen after its self-governance, human rights and freedom of speech were further suppressed.

7. Third, China’s new NASDAQ-style stock board — the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR board — has emerged as a fast-growing capital markets center for Chinese companies at a time when rising China-US tensions have triggered concerns about their prospects of listing in New York, posing a growing challenge to the Hong Kong stock exchange.

8. On the other hand, Taiwan’s economic fundamentals, the central bank’s adoption of extraordinary monetary easing and the government’s fiscal policies have fueled continued rallies in the nation’s stock market since last year.

9. It might be too early to tell how long the consolidation trend might last, as a resurgent COVID-19 outbreak is coloring the global economic outlook, but some insight can be drawn from the stock market:

10. Taiwan’s GDP grew a larger-than-expected 8.16 percent in the first quarter, as exports and private investment remained healthy.

都是一堆很長的句子對不對？我們來看美國人寫的句子，也是一個主流媒體的 opinion 文。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 美國案例：New York Times Opinion

1. I miss torturing Liz Cheney.

2. But it must be said that the petite blonde from Wyoming suddenly seems like a Valkyrie amid halflings.

3. She is willing to sacrifice her leadership post — and risk her political career — to continue calling out Donald Trump’s Big Lie.

4. She has decided that, if the price of her job is being as unctuous to Trump as Kevin McCarthy is, it isn’t worth it, because McCarthy is totally disgracing himself.

5. It has been a dizzying fall for the scion of one of the most powerful political families in the land, a conservative chip off the old block who was once talked about as a comer, someone who could be the first woman president.

6. How naïve I was to think that Republicans would be eager to change the channel after Trump cost them the Senate and the White House and unleashed a mob on them.

7. I thought the Donald would evaporate in a poof of orange smoke, ending a supremely screwed-up period of history.

8. But the loudest mouth is not shutting up.

9. And Republicans continue to listen, clinging to the idea that the dinosaur is the future.

10. “We can’t grow without him,” Lindsey Graham said.

📌 Note: 即使是比較長的句子，這位作者也會用標點符號拆散它：She is willing to sacrifice her leadership post — and risk her political career — to continue calling out Donald Trump’s Big Lie. 這就好比用句點一樣，讓我們讀起來有點停頓休息的時間。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 注意到了嗎？

台灣人寫的英文，句子都偏長，而且長度都差不多。
美國人寫的就不一樣了：一個只有五個字的句子開頭，然後一堆稍微長一點的句子，然後再來一串短句。

你可能懷疑我故意挑選很極端了例子出來，而且幹嘛專門打台灣人呢？

所以想到這裡，我從我的書架上，隨便挑了兩本跟科技有關的書出來。左邊的，是美國人，矽谷知名投資人 Peter Thiel。右邊的是德國人，但注意了，是一個英文非常好的德國人。他不但是世界經濟論壇的創辦人，研究所也是在哈佛大學唸的。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 兩本書 Introduction 是怎麼寫的？

Klaus Schwab (德國)：

Of the many diverse and fascinating challenges we face today, the most intense and important is how to understand and shape the new technology revolution, which entails nothing less than a transformation of humankind.

We are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing the way we live, work, and relate to one another.
In its scale, scope and complexity, what I consider to be the fourth industrial revolution is unlike anything humankind has experienced before.

Peter Thiel (美國)：

Whenever I interview someone for a job, I like to ask this question: "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"

The question sounds easy because it's straightforward.
Actually, it's very hard to answer.

It's intellectually difficult because the knowledge that everyone is taught in school is by definition agreed upon.

See the difference?

★★★★★★★★★★★★

最恐怖揭發5種的未來科技 | 2020年版本

5種最恐怖的未來科技記錄 | 2020年版本

[預言] 五種最恐怖的未來科技發明 | 2020年版本

將來5種最恐怖的未來科技

“I’m very close to the cutting edge of AI, and it scares the living hell out of me” 科技企業巨頭Elon Musk發明了自動駕駛汽車, 目標是到火星居住, 但仍然對人工智能感到wuy guey.

2020年的年頭多災多難, 人類創造的科技能否幫助到人類未來呢?

大家好又是我暗網仔, 今天就講5個你一定不知道, 恐怖,即將採用的未來科技.
*do something with a robot here. Maybe voice maybe dance*

Quantum computing
平行時空的概念常常在電影裡出現. 無論電影或現實中, 在不同時間線存在另一個自己一直只是理論. 直到80年代物理學的Quantum computing被開拓. 理論是當一種電腦代碼能比血細胞和癌細胞更細, 代碼借來發力的能源從那裡得回來的? 因為量子能在幾不同空間同時存在, 科學新聞學者相信那些不同空間就是我們所描述的平行時空了.
其實2020年1月3號NASA Tess望遠鏡發現一個名TOI 700d的糸外行星. 遠我們101.4光年的Dorda constellation. 外型, size, 可居住度都是跟地球非常相似. 這?否居住一些跟我們非常相似但又特點不同的人類呢? “那些年” 的平行世界就是這個吧! 咸網仔也是這裡存在.

機械戰警 (未來戰士) 陰謀論
80年代公仔Robocop一定是很多人的童年回憶. 但至2013年美國保安公司Knightscope已經發明這些ADM (autonomous data machines) 在商場, 學校, 等地方wuy chi ji on.
因為ADM有長期監視和拍照功能. 推出後, 私隱人權問題被外界jut yi,
另外, ADM實際能力亦受到jut yi.
因為各ADM型號沒有自jong武器的. 所以偵測到危險人物後只能發出警報yoing附近保護人員作出拘捕. 人工合作才能成功.

最近迪拜就出現一個人型名REEM的Robocop. 恐怖是他的指示冊中有複雜如: ‘屍體入境許可證’ ‘人口販運’ 等功能. 實質什麼作用就不知道啦.

CERN god particle
大家知不知道 ‘暗網仔’ 甚至所有Youtuber最應該感激什麼平台啊? 不是Youtube. 又不是google. 而是www world wide web. 其實www是英國科學家Tim Bernese-Lee在CERN (the European organization for nuclear research) 所發明的. CERN聞名於他擁有全球最大的 粒子物理研究所. 當中LHC Large hadron collider(大型強子對撞機)因有機會撞擊時制造微型黑洞, 曾一度令各地政府感到非常擔心.
CERN操作48年, 主要目標是確認有Higgs Boson(希格斯玻色子) Gods particle. 2012年發現的Higgs提供了宇宙萬物我們周圍的一切確實被宇宙大爆炸製造出來的證據.
但亦有陰謀論家指出其實CERN設施真正目的是為了開一個能到達其他維度的portal.
大多這個觀點的猜測源自於CERN門口放置的印度神像Shiva: 毀滅之神. 為什麼要在一所科學設施的正門放這個像呢？是預言未來會被 ‘毀滅’ 嗎?

員工評分
相信很多人也害怕見工面試的過程. 雇主也對聘請不對的人會感到擔心. 所以如果招聘顧問公司Thrivemap能用你社交媒體就能給你一個評分, 那雙方也會容易得多吧!
但如果我跟你講評分的是一種名 ‘cultural fit’ 的東西而不是你的工作能力,會有點恐怖嗎?
其實大家也知道員工是否fu合整個公司的大文化是非常重要. 所謂: 識做工不如識做人. 但這個人 ‘評分’ 會否導致之後每個大機構都變成單一文化 monoculture呢?
這 ‘評分’ 機制又會否被我們人類慢慢習慣呢?

中國social credit system
之前我拍片講Netflix提過Black Mirror一集, 社會上你做什麼, 説什麼, 社交媒體上po什麼都會被評分. 2020年中國操作的社會信用體系就而 ‘信譽糸統’ 評國內每一位的人民.
一些被視為 ‘失信’ 的人民某些生活上資源被拿走的. 也挺恐怖的.
由用公共設施. (19年6月2600萬張機票和596萬張高鐵票) 被拒用.
某一些的私人學校或大學也被限制. 有指某些 ‘失信’ 人士的樣子也會大大display在一些大的公眾場合. 列如電影院.
雖然這個social credit system有機會真的能identify出誰曾經犯過罪. 或真的可以幫助網上hei ling.
As someone that lives in a foreign country, freedom of speech is important to me. And

而如果看過那集black mirror的朋友也知道可以有幾恐bo啦.

Five Ways to Improve Your Listening Skills
Maintain eye contact
It shows others that you are paying attention.
Match their eye contact to not be creepy.
Some people love eye contact. Others prefer to look away from time to time. Depends on the other party
Another way to show that you are listening is to lean in with your ear
Take Notes
This will reinforce your memory. It’s advisable to ask permission first in some situations.
This is good for when you meet someone more successful than you.
Ask: Do you mind if I take notes?
Shows respect and makes them feel valued.
Allow people to finish their own sentences
No matter how enthusiastically you want to jump into the conversation.
Doing so will indicate respect for what the person is saying.
Let them finish their sentence and then ask. Would you like my feedback?
Is what you have to say more important to the person speaking?
Respond so the other person knows you’re listening.
Your response maybe “Yes” or “I see” or merely nodding your head. Any of these will do.
I see where you are coming from
That is profound
I wish I could do what you do
Ask core questions.
That is typically a series of “why” questions that go deeper into a particular subject to gain the greatest understanding of a situation. Start with broad information and continue seeking more specific responses.
Ask core questions – So you don’t get a yes or no answer
Why is that important? How can I help?
What’s preventing you from moving forward?
Asking them profound questions. Questions shift belief/change lives.
These may seem simple but complexity is the enemy of execution. If you think these sound like common sense, first ask yourself “How many people do you know that do all this? How would it transform your life if you did?” If you do it, you will stand out. People will like you but they won’t know why. It’s subconscious.
