我发现很多人脑子里都有这样一个观念,当下这个世界很难再发生什么大的变化,一辈子也就安安稳稳地过去了。
所以说,追求确定性的生活,成了大多数人一生的命题。选择考研考公考编找一个铁饭碗工作,就是具像化的体现。
但从历史数据来看,这种确定性几乎是不可能的事情,不确定性和变动,才是历史的常态。
仔细想想上两代人,他们的一生都经历了什么。
我爷爷是上个世纪三四十年代生人,从出生到去世,度过了抗日战争、新中国成立、饥荒、文化大革命的旧时代,又经过了改革开放、科技经济全面腾飞的黄金时代,最后也见证了电脑手机互联网的崛起与辉煌。
他在 AI 大模型爆发的前一年去世了。如果能再多活几年的话,20 世纪下半叶到 21 世纪上半叶,横跨一个世纪的重大事件,都会在他的生命里留下一些痕迹。
不知道他在亲身经历这些事情的时候,大脑思维是如何变化和变化的。
回到当下,对于我们这代人来说,AI 算是第一个大事件,我们也很难想象未来会发生什么。所谓的安稳大概率只是不切实际的幻想,变化只会比以往更加剧烈。
主动拥抱变化,享受当下发生的一切,保持好奇心,耐心等一个属于自己的风口,这比被动抗拒要强过百倍。

@Dr_TheHistories @archeohistories Why would someone who is against misogyny convert to misogynistic Islam?
English

In 1966, Ireland - a girl is born into a country where Catholic Church doesn't just guide spirituality—it controls everything. What you wear. Who you marry. What happens to girls who don't fit the mold.
Sinéad O'Connor's childhood wasn't just difficult. It was savage. Her mother's fists. The system's indifference. And when she became too much trouble at 15, they sent her where Ireland sent all its inconvenient girls—a Magdalene asylum.
These weren't schools. They were prisons dressed up as reform institutions, where young women were punished, hidden, erased. But inside those walls, something unexpected happened. A nun heard Sinéad sing and arranged voice lessons. Music became her lifeline. Her escape route. Her weapon.
When she finally got out and joined a band, music industry saw potential—but only if she'd cooperate. Grow your hair. Lose weight. Wear dresses. Be feminine. Be sellable. Sinéad walked into a bathroom and shaved her head completely bald.
This was 1987. Madonna had big hair and controversy calculated down to the second. Cyndi Lauper was neon and rebellion-lite. Then here comes Sinéad—bald, boots, no makeup, no explanation. Her debut album was rage and vulnerability poured into sound. It went gold. She still wouldn't play their game.
Then 1990 arrived with "Nothing Compares 2 U." The video was just her face, tears falling, singing with such brutal honesty that millions of people couldn't look away. Number one in 17 countries. Global superstar. Surely now she'd behave.
She refused to perform if a misogynistic comedian appeared on the same SNL episode. Wouldn't stand for the national anthem at the Grammys. Wouldn't accept awards. The industry called her difficult, unstable, ungrateful.
Then came October 3, 1992. Saturday Night Live. She sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War," but changed the lyrics to condemn child abuse. At the end, she held up a photo of Pope John Paul II. She tore it in half. "Fight the real enemy."
Silence. Then chaos. Radio stations destroyed her CDs with bulldozers. The Church condemned her. Musicians distanced themselves. Her American career evaporated overnight. But here's what nobody grasped in 1992—she was exposing the Catholic Church's systematic cover-up of child sexual abuse. This was years before Boston Globe. Decades before the world believed. She knew because she'd survived it. And she refused silence, even knowing the cost.
She was right about everything. And she paid for it anyway.
For the next decade, Sinéad released albums almost no one heard. Played for crowds that barely existed. The world dismissed her as a cautionary tale—what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you. She battled trauma and mental health struggles while being labeled crazy, difficult, finished.
But she never apologized for that torn photograph. Not once. "I'm not sorry I did it," she said years later. "It was brilliant." Then the world caught up. The abuse scandals she'd tried to warn us about became undeniable—investigations, convictions, horror. Everything she'd screamed into the void in 1992 was true. People finally understood: she wasn't crazy. She was right.
Sinéad converted to Islam, took the name Shuhada' Sadaqat, kept making music, kept speaking truth. She never regained mainstream fame. Never received the apology she deserved. On July 26, 2023, she died at 56. The tributes flooded in—people who'd condemned her now praised her courage. Too late. She was gone.
Interesting fact: Prince, who wrote "Nothing Compares 2 U," initially recorded it with his side project The Family in 1985, but it went largely unnoticed. He later said Sinéad's version was so definitive that he could never perform it the same way again. Another detail: when Sinéad was booed off stage at a Bob Dylan tribute concert just weeks after the Pope incident, Kris Kristofferson came out to comfort her, whispering "Don't let the bastards get you down." She responded, "I'm not down."

Zhang Heng Seismoscope - a replica of the first seismoscope ever invented, located in the Sheshan Seismic Station at the foot of West Sheshan Mountain, this museum features a theater hall, an earthquake information hall, an emergency rescue drill exhibit, and the Zhang Heng seismograph exhibition hall...
Zhang Heng was a Chinese scientist and mathematician from the Han Dynasty. Inside is a replica of his ancient seismoscope. During his life, it was still unknown that shifting tectonic plates caused earthquakes. Instead, earthquakes were explained as a disturbance in the cosmic yin and yang, along with the heavens' displeasure with the current dynasty. However, Heng believed earthquakes were actually caused by wind and air.
He invented his seismoscope in 132 CE. A seismoscope records disturbances along the earth's surface. The device Heng created was even able to roughly indicate the direction of an earthquake well over 100 miles away.
To indicate the direction of an earthquake, his device released a bronze ball from one of eight dragon heads. The ball then fell into the mouth of a corresponding toad below, each toad represented a direction similar to those on a compass.
What makes his seismoscope so impressive is that modern replicas have all failed to reach the level of accuracy described in historical records. On one occasion, the device was triggered even though there was no evidence of a seismic event. Several days later, it was discovered that an earthquake had occurred in Longxi.

@CynicalPublius @Pontifex He only said a general truth, and did not specify who it was, and you yourself thought of the answer, it seems that you know very well who is the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud person. Idiot MAGA, a group of low IQs.
English

@Pontifex Your Holiness, how about you stop arrogantly and proudly interfering in American politics and stick to leading us to Salvation?
English

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
