去冬梅家取韭菜，還拿了一點大葱。知道這接下來的日子裏就是在忙碌這些韭菜。然後去圖書館拿書。
很快就用掉了海雲給的肉餡，做了肉包子，韭菜餃子。
知道他表姐來美國了，想讓她幫忙帶一本書回去，結果果然又有不同意見了。
做了很多韭菜盒子，一部分給Liya，一部分準備洞起來給Lijuan。跑去郵局買了些郵票，準備夾在書裏面。
下午和聰一起看了電影，原子彈之父。電影長單三個小時，沒有摘下義肢，感覺還是不舒服。雖然已經坐的是躺椅了。
看完電影我們都非常激動，夏日炎炎，看得心血澎湃。
她還和宣傳畫拍了一個合影。我們出門的時候，看到一群孩子去看Barbie，打扮得很起勁的。
周日兩天就一直再看那本謀殺的家譜那本書，非常引人入勝。做了一大堆筆記，看完了這本書。
出門走了走，周日穿義肢的時候並沒有想象中那麽容易。
這一周我覺得總體過得還不錯，有書看，有電影看，還外出吃了一頓飯。
村上春树曾说过:我动了离开你的念头。不是因为你不好也不是因为不爱了。只是你对我的态度，让我觉得你的世界并不缺我，其实我可以厚着脸皮再纠缠你，但没有任何意义。因为和你在一起时我的状态不好，会激发我的脆弱焦躁善妒不安，会不断吸引出我人格里最不好的一面，与其和你在一起互相消耗，不如就算了吧。我不想纠结在没有意义的事情上了。伸手要的糖和你主动给的是两个味道，我常常深思熟虑考虑这份关系还要不要继续，反复问自己。其实我点也不后悔遇见你，但是我们终究还是没有翻过那座山。我在很平常的一天放弃了一个很重要的人，虽然有点舍不得但我满心欢喜也该告段落了。
-----
但其实我收到了两个红包，当我朋友看完《后资本主义时代的生活》之后，也很喜欢，因为他产生了许多共鸣。按照他的说法，书中的一些观点他也曾经有过，但从未能如此清晰完整地表达出来。最后他加了依据：我很喜欢这本书的结构。
在他说出这句话的前一秒，我还沉浸在欢喜之中。因为你向朋友推荐一本书，如果和朋友根本不对路，那就太让人尴尬了。一种好意就会变成一种傲慢：这本书很好，你认真看一看提升一下自己。所以，当朋友和书能够严丝合缝贴合在一起，发自内心地喜欢，对于我而言就像是点了一桌菜，每道菜都符合朋友的口味，看他吃得酣畅淋漓，我在一边就会欣喜莫名。
等朋友的这句话一说出口，我就像是被闪电击中，通身都亮了起来。书的确是有结构的，作者如何思考一个问题，如何表述解决这个问题，这本身就是一种结构。从哪里开始，如何分析和论证，最后结论在哪里，这是思维的结构。落到纸面上，书本里自然也带着结构。
过去我喜欢说一本书好看不好看，易读不易读，其实这个表述是错的。好读是什么意思？好读的意思是你很容易理解书里的结构，所以，你不需要不断停下来去想作者要干什么，你只需要集中精力去看作者怎么干的，于是速度会很快，人的阅读体验会很愉悦。
看一本哲学书为什么很困难，很涩滞？因为你根本不熟悉书的结构，也就是你不熟悉哲学家思考问题的方式，不了解他们大脑中的思维结构。正因为这样，你读过很多本之后，即便不能理解他们的具体想法，但是你还是可以流畅地阅读一本哲学书。没有别的原因，对于他们怎么思考问题，你因为大量阅读已经变得很熟悉了。
同样的，什么叫共鸣？共鸣就是读者和作者拥有类似的思维结构，要么他们长期思考过相同的问题，要么他们用类似的方法来解决问题。一个厨子看另外一个大厨炒菜，能比一个食客看到更多东西，而且在炒菜的过程中，会有许多心领神会，觉得许多地方处理得妙不可言。无非是读者可能在思考的时候止步于某处，而作者在书中已经给出了完整的过程和步骤，那么当然觉得共鸣如潮水，愉悦又一波。
这也解释我心头萦绕了近二十年的疑问：我把文章都写得那么浅白简单了，为什么还总是有读者留言说看不懂，理解不了？因为他们不曾像我那样去想过，自然也不会如我那样地去看待。我的文章，并不存在他们熟悉的结构。
我们不会平白无故坐下来，就可以彼此交换想法。即便我们想那么去做，很多时候我们并不知道自己在想什么，为什么那么去想。但是有了书作为介质，用第三方的思想为媒介，我们相互交换感受和想法，那么反而会有助于双方的思想交流，从中可以获得平常无法得到的启发，甚至是可以增强对自我的认知。
所以，现在我要说：除了鼓励大家多读书之外，还得新增一条，那就是鼓励大家多和朋友分享书籍，多和朋友讨论书籍。大家读完同一本书之后再来交换想法，从理论上来说，相当于你的大脑多了一个外挂帮助你去思考。从世情上来说，你也多了一种深入了解你朋友的渠道。更何况，也许因此还会有红包收呢？

《资本的秘密》有纸质版，目前线上在售，售价 20块出头。它也有电子版，微信读书里就有，价格略贵一些。如果你只读前四章的话，相当于价格翻了一倍，所以具体怎么读还需要你自己去想。读完也许你会回来赞同我的观点：人类最神奇的地方不在于能够征服自然，而是在自然物之上发明概念，却又能利用这些抽象概念真实地改变生活。因此，一切改变都是心的改变，而心的改变又取决于你能看见怎样的现实。
Our culture is dominated by efforts to score points and win arguments. But do we really talk anymore?
By Hua Hsu
March 13, 2023
Conversation, in its ideal form, involves no audience, just partners; no fixed agenda, just process. Perhaps it’s in long, wandering discussions that we learn how to be human.Illustration by Henri Campeã
There was once a time when strangers talked to one another, sometimes eagerly. “In past eras, daily life made it necessary for individuals to engage with others different from themselves,” Paula Marantz Cohen explains. In those moments of unpredictability and serendipity, we confronted difference. There were no smartphones, message boards, or online factions. Maybe because life moved at a slower pace, and every interaction wasn’t so freighted with political meaning, we had the opportunity to recognize our full humanity. Nowadays, she argues, we are sectarian and “self-soothing,” having fallen out of such practice. What we need is to return to the basics: to brush up on the art of conversation.
Cohen, a professor of English at Drexel University, is the author of “Talking Cure: An Essay on the Civilizing Power of Conversation” (Princeton). She makes the case that talking to others—sharing our stories—is how we learn things and sharpen our belief systems, how we piece together what it means to be funny or empathetic. Conversation can change our minds while sustaining our souls. There’s some social-science research on her side. A 2018 study showed that participants who had more substantial conversations reported relatively high levels of satisfaction with life.
Cohen considers models of good, entertaining conversation throughout literary history and popular culture, from Jane Austen to Abbott and Costello. Her inspirations draw heavily from her areas of academic expertise, as she explores how conversation is woven into the fabric of French intellectual culture (the salon) or élite English life (the gentleman’s club). But her primary qualification here is that she is a self-professed “talker,” the sort of person who lives for chatty checkout lines, leisurely coffee dates, vigorous college seminars, and spirited dinner parties—as well as spirited daydreams about whom you would invite to your fantasy dinner party of historical figures. She writes of the special “synthesis” that occurs in marriage or other long-term partnerships, in which one’s lexicon merges with that of another, producing shorthand terminology and a distinct rhythm and style. But she doesn’t prize these types of decades-long exchanges over others; she always remains open to new connection. “Surely, my readers can identify with that welling of positive feeling—that almost-falling-in-love-with someone with whom we engage on an authentic level,” she writes. “I have felt this not only for friends and even strangers with whom I’ve had a probing or even a fleeting conversation but also for whole classes of students where it can seem that the group has merged into one deeply lovable and loving body.”
A defense of conversation, of course, is necessary only if one feels it is under attack. In Cohen’s view, the practice of experiencing “uncertainty and open-endedness in a safe environment” has become imperilled by a variety of forces: political polarization, a mediascape that profits from dissent, the conformity of groupthink, even campus drinking culture. “Our society abounds in bad conversation,” Cohen writes, in part because it makes for more entertaining content on the Internet and television. People would rather regurgitate “predetermined positions,” she fears, than wrestle with ambiguity. No spaces seem safe for the frictions or disagreements that make conversation go. Families today appear to be increasingly unstable, requiring an ever-expanding cheat sheet of inoffensive talking points for navigating Thanksgiving. College was once a zone of free-flowing experimentation; today, it is dominated by ideological orthodoxy. Conversation was once an end in itself; now it is the stuff of self-help gurus and business-school strategy.
Amid all these forces, Cohen returns to true conversation as a kind of sanctuary. And, whether or not you agree with her description of the current climate, there’s something deeply appealing about her commitment to conversation. In its ideal form, it involves no audience or judge, just partners; no fixed agenda or goals, just process. As the philosopher Michael Oakeshott observed, in conversation “there is no ‘truth’ to be discovered, no proposition to be proved, no conclusion sought.” What matters, he continued, is the “flow of speculation.” Conversation is casual; it isn’t a chat (too noncommittal), a debate (too contentious), or a colloquy (too academic). And yet the cachet of conversation, with its connotations of open-mindedness and open-endedness, also encourages an overly broad application.
What can it possibly mean, for example, to have a “national conversation”? Bill Clinton is often credited with being the first sitting President to inaugurate the tradition, when, in 1997, he called for a “conversation on race.” In the two-thousands, with the rise of the Internet and then social media, these calls intensified, particularly in the immediate aftermath of tragedy. Uses of the phrase “national conversation” soared during the Presidency of Barack Obama, America’s last great conversationalist-in-chief. He often seemed less concerned with presiding from a position of power than with running the country as though it were a seminar, seeking consensus through debate and discussion. There was the Beer Summit, the listening tours, the town halls. (It’s a footnote of history that his main rival in the 2008 primary, Hillary Clinton, launched her campaign with a similar call for addressing division head on: “Let the conversation begin.”)
It’s easy to grow cynical when politicians invite us to participate in conversation. They get to acknowledge difference, or feel another’s pain, rather than commit to meaningful action. And it’s dispiriting to sense that our everyday conversations—ephemeral, intimate—take place inside larger, seemingly endless national ones, and to so little effect. As President, Obama invited national conversations on race, policing, gun violence, the future of cities and neighborhoods, and, in June, 2009, “fatherhood and personal responsibility.” But years later even he appeared to lose hope. “What has happened is that our national conversation has broken apart,” he said in 2022.
Obama seemed interested in trying to solve a problem inherent to conversation: its tendency to devolve into argument. A few years ago, the literary theorist Stanley Fish wrote that “the state of agreement that would render argument unnecessary—a universal agreement brought about by facts so clear that no rational being could deny them—is not something we mortals will ever achieve.” This wasn’t meant to be a despairing conclusion. Instead, Fish pointed to how different genres of argument tilt along different axes of dispute: political ones often revolve around the interpretation of facts, while a marital argument is about “the management of words” within an intimate setting. Yet, Fish noted, political and marital arguments are similar in that, for the most part, neither is winnable. In marriage especially, there is no such thing as definitive victory, only momentary accords and truces. For Fish, there was no all-purpose method for conversation, just different conventions for different situations.
If conflict is inevitable, then we might as well prepare for it. In “Good Arguments: How Debate Teaches Us to Listen and Be Heard” (Penguin Press), Bo Seo, a two-time world-champion debater, offers his own method for disagreeing with others. “An argument contains nearly infinite space for improvement,” he writes. But if you know what you want people to conclude, you can begin mapping out a way for them to feel that such a conclusion is irresistible.
Competitive debate is a flawed model for civic discourse—it’s a world full of rules, time limits, and decorum. Contestants draw their assignments at random, and they are sometimes required to argue for positions or policies with which they disagree. In one pressure-filled round, Seo and a partner had to argue that “the world’s poor would be justified in pursuing complete Marxist revolution.” There’s a coolness to his description as he discusses how to approach such a prompt with serene reason. He explains how definitions might be structured for maximum efficacy, and, more generally, how to listen to what is being said by your adversary and how to expose its fallacies. In the case of class-based revolution, Seo and his partner knew they had to adapt a “full-blown Marxist screed” for a larger audience, arguing for “grand, civilizational” stakes.
In “Good Arguments,” Seo offers a set of rules gleaned from his years as a debater and as a debate-team coach. For example, avoid an abstract word when a concrete one will do. To describe our educational institutions as “failing” might lead us to any number of solutions, maybe even existential questions about the nature of institutions writ large. But to call them “underfunded” draws a line between problem and solution. For Seo, precise language produces clearer sentences, and a better-defined “journey” for listeners to follow, furtively delivering them to the destination that you’ve already chosen for them. His rules are seductive, a balance of sound logic and rhetorical flourish. (“Find the applause line.”) Good arguments are products of elegant and intelligent design; although they invite others in, their conclusions are meant to feel inescapable.
Seo’s paradigm is at some distance from actual political speech. One of his rules is “no emoting.” But he began to see the power of persona one day when he attended a campus sit-in, at which different speakers shared their experiences as part of the movement to force institutions to divest from fossil-fuel companies. Accustomed to forms of exchange where proportional, well-reasoned ideas trumped charisma and panache, Seo found the speeches revelatory. “Ideas don’t move people on their own,” his roommate explained to him. “People move people.” Seo concluded, “We had to make something new: a mode of speaking that did not force people’s hands but grasped them.”
A chilling moment came in 2016, when Seo and some Harvard debate pals were watching one of the Presidential debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. What they saw was not diplomatic restraint but pure emoting. Trump was a product of what the linguist Deborah Tannen calls “argument culture,” in which a “pervasive warlike atmosphere” hangs over all public dialogue. Watching Trump, Seo was reminded of what could happen in the nastiest of debate rounds, when opponents competed in bad faith. “Bullies used the adversarial format to bludgeon opponents and used rhetoric not to enhance but to elide reason,” he writes. “They took advantage of the debate’s openness to ideas by introducing lies. Bad debates seemed to point back to some weakness in the activity itself. They showed that a debate, so hijacked, could be a harmful force in the world.”
“I don’t care if it’s the local or the express. We’re getting on board.”
We might share Cohen’s vision of a good conversation as endorphin-releasing, something akin to the warmth and contentment of slowly experiencing love. But we live in the age of the amygdala, aiming for outrage. Even if political discourse took the form of Seo’s idealized debate, the dynamic might still disserve us. In a debate, we aren’t trying to find common ground with someone else; Seo’s rules are not for winning over strangers but for defeating opponents in tournaments. Reason and personality are deployed not to appeal to the person you’re debating but to impress observers who listen and judge, while never entering the fray. It’s telling that social-media platforms, like Twitter, characterize themselves as serving a public conversation, and yet the presence of an audience turns online conversations into performances. A politician today is more likely to dunk on some random hecklers on Twitter than to court them.
Does genuine conversation have prospects within the political realm? In “The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy” (Knopf), the journalist Anand Giridharadas laments a contemporary climate that is “confrontational and sensational and dismissive.” In the age of sophisticated psychographic profiling, strategists think that it’s rational for warring sides in a campaign to “write off” those who are unlikely to join their cause and instead focus on mobilizing their base. “Leaders who attempt outreach have been attacked by their own as sellouts, chided for centering those who would never ally with them anyway over those who have long had their back, if not their attention,” he writes.
Giridharadas depicts a world so fractious that many people have given up on the possibility of debate, let alone rangy conversation. His book tells the stories of progressive organizers, politicians, and activists. Like their counterparts on the right, they struggle to reach the other side. Some of those he interviews point to the election of Trump as a moment that destabilized their sense of what could be debated or discussed. At the same time, online discourse was becoming more sophisticated, even academic; suddenly, terms such as “white supremacy,” “patriarchy,” and “prison abolition” had entered the mainstream.
Among progressives, a shared interest in opposing Trump didn’t mean that they could agree on how to express themselves collectively, balancing precision with “message effectiveness.” Giridharadas writes, “With white supremacy and patriarchy and the discontents of capitalism now front and center in the conversation, how could those groups be expected to put aside their feelings on these matters for the sake of keeping the coalitional peace?”
It’s not just that the public nowadays seems unpersuadable. The echo chambers keep shrinking as well. “We can keep talking to each other and becoming a narrower and narrower slice of this country,” Alicia Garza, a founder of the international Black Lives Matter movement, tells Giridharadas, “or we can actually fight for power.” Giridharadas sees a winnowing of conversation in both public and private spaces as a “war on persuasion” itself.
For Giridharadas, hope comes in the form of Steve Deline, a gay activist in California. Deline was dismayed when, in November, 2008, California voters approved Proposition 8, a ballot measure to bar same-sex marriage, and he decided to join an experimental program implemented by the Los Angeles L.G.B.T. Center. Volunteers would knock on the doors of people who’d supported Prop 8 and have a conversation with them about why they had done so. “It came from a place of desperation and feeling like I had no other choice but to try to talk to the people who I didn’t think I could talk to,” Deline explains.
The more conversations Deline found himself in, the more comfortable he felt listening to the stories of those who, on the face of it, did not wish him well—and the more comfortable he felt sharing his own vulnerabilities with them. These private conversations, taking place patiently and deliberately, unhitched from the rhythms of national ones, offered each side the chance to recognize the other’s humanity. Deline eventually helped start the New Conversation Initiative, which aimed to train people in “non-judgmental” voter outreach. “What we learned is changing your mind on something is about navigating a sea of conflicting emotions,” Deline tells Giridharadas.
And yet the “deep canvassing” model is far from the autotelic ideal of conversation that Cohen prizes; Giridharadas’s book, after all, is titled “The Persuaders.” Conversion may be an outcome of conversation, of course, but the ideal posits that the exchange isn’t merely the instrumental pursuit of an agenda. Although Giridharadas’s voluble progressives may be nudging others to be more open-minded, they themselves aren’t open to the views of the voters they’ve set their sights upon. For Cohen, talk is about the experience; for Giridharadas, it’s ultimately about the next election.
We can’t be confident, either, that our splintered public sphere is a symptom of conversational collapse. There has never been a time in human history when the average person has had access to the sheer volume of conversations that technology makes possible today—all those takes, tweets, threads, text chains, posts, and articles. Then there’s the world of podcasting, where people readily listen to hours of freewheeling, sometimes thorny discussion. Is it that we’re incapable of having conversations, or that there are simply more voices to account for? Could it be that we are suffering from too much talk, not too little?
Irecently subscribed to a newsletter about small talk—for research, of course. It was filled with tips and tricks for steering and prolonging conversations; one involved wearing sunglasses in a public place in order to practice making hyper-focussed eye contact with strangers. The very notion of being a good conversationalist now falls into the world of self-improvement and self-help, where the ability to speak to someone is a means to an end rather than a means toward making the world a more ambiguous place. The logic of accumulation gets applied to social interaction: talk only when you can get something concrete out of it.
The same applies to the new A.I.-powered chatbots. Even as journalists have gleefully set about prompting them into displaying unsettling personalities, there have been stories of programmers creating conversational partners modelled on the deceased, which may comfort those dealing with grief. But these are asymmetrical exchanges; they succeed when they’re good for us. We don’t inquire whether they were good for our digital interlocutor.
Where do we find a great model for conversation? Cohen points to the college seminar, a rare case of “a conversation that is at once a means to an end (learning something) and an end in itself (engaging in the flow of group talk).” She views teaching as drawing on the skills of a good conversationalist, going back and forth with her students, hopeful that they stumble into a kind of “communion.” The professor is an authority and a guide, but everyone must be ready to make side trips into promising tangents. Every class is fleeting; most aren’t archived or analyzed afterward. “When the term is over,” Cohen writes, “everyone in the class understands that something rare and mysterious has occurred and that our perspective on the world has been subtly but indelibly altered.”
What makes the classroom such an unusual model for contemporary discourse is its temporary and ultimately low-stakes nature. Even if a breathtaking seminar discussion spills into dinner and coffee afterward—and then late-night dorm-room philosophizing, a desire to stay inside that “loving” moment as long as possible—the next session might be a dud. It comes and then quickly goes because, other than some scattered notes, there are no remnants. The power comes from the realization that these conversations can happen only once: they are improvised and ephemeral, and can never happen again in the same way. You may forget what was discussed, but you will remember the exhilarating experience of the discussion itself.
Reading a book about conversation inevitably makes you want to talk to people, even if, like me, you are not exactly a talker. Mostly, I wondered whether my conversations achieved the heights outlined in “Talking Cure.” Did I seek out others to be heard, or to hear as well? There were moments, while ruminating on Cohen’s arguments, when I felt compelled to text friends and ask them the last time they experienced this idealized flow state of conversation. This led me to scroll through my phone and sift through my chat histories and think about whether these chains of messages, some going back a decade, constituted proper conversations or not. Was there something false about my feelings of affection for people I have only ever e-mailed with? What’s the difference between typing one’s most unpopular thoughts in a chat window and uttering them aloud?
Somehow, the erratic, digressive nature of these chains is what makes them human. We talk with one another not just to discover ideas but to share umbrage and merriment, to compare experiences, express sympathy, or sniff out bullshit. We offer one another models of unreason. Cohen closes “Talking Cure” with an example of a conversation enthusiast: Pierre Bezukhov, the wandering, occasionally absent-minded protagonist of Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace.” She describes her experience teaching the book to a seminar of “unusually engaged” students and their delight in reëncountering Bezukhov throughout the epic novel, a kind of Everyman trying his best to make sense of the world shifting around him.
The character bears witness to great suffering; he finds himself unable to adequately “convey his thought to others just as he himself understood it.” At one point, Bezukhov realizes “the impossibility of changing a man’s convictions by words, and his recognition of the possibility of everyone thinking, feeling, and seeing things each from his own point of view.” Yet Bezukhov persists. He continues to share his thoughts and to listen, remaining, as Cohen writes, “alert and receptive without feeling that a definitive answer must be found.” It’s the imperfections we offer one another in dialogue that make such endeavors worthwhile. We keep talking, knowing that it brings us closer to one another as it simultaneously casts us apart, and that the conversation is never over. ♦
“I once heard a woman who’d lost her dog say that she felt as though a color were suddenly missing from her world: the dog had introduced to her field of vision some previously unavailable hue, and without the dog, that color was gone. That seemed to capture the experience of loving a dog with eminent simplicity.”

下午寫了六月讀書小結。有點流水賬之嫌。
吃過晚飯后去了一次Costco，站立走路將近一個小時，中間小坐了一下，在巨大一袋Pet food上。看到了給狗狗扔球的一套玩具，好幾個球，Rixi一定很喜歡的。
晚上驄下班後就及時回來了。很難得。
周六（7/1/2023）
很久沒有吃漢堡了，尤其是在家裏做的。她還要去上班，所以在上班前做給她吃了。她將近中午醒過來問我想不想去看電影。我想她是想帶我出門，但是我寧願她在家裏休息，所以就沒有去。
晚飯後膠水的時候，發現豇豆已經開始爬藤了，結果兩根都往一根繩子上爬。我幫他們糾正了一下。

六月，回到久违的上海的夏天里。伴随闷热的故乡的梅雨季，我开始读这本想读很久的沉思录。这本Stoic哲学的箴言录让我想起东方的禅宗。罗马皇帝Marcus Aurelius在近两多年前同内心的自己对话其实正像是今天这个时代的解药。花了一个星期慢慢读完，很希望自己能早点读这本书。
日記本在6/30在7/1之間特地有一頁空餘，似乎提醒書寫著回顧一下上半年，暢想一下下半年。 本月一開頭就是連續幾天的高溫，那幾天不能外出，在家就使勁地在厨房做麵食，變相地讓自己進行一下體力勞動。第一周的周末大家冒着酷暑出門去看airshow，烟火，縂想在全國都熱烈慶祝美國250周...
