Science

My mentor speaks of medicine's interest in the similarity and difference between individual patients. With huge variation from person to person, it is never possible to consider medicine in the same scientific way as Newtonian physics. To paraphrase the old saying, medicine is knowledge, judgment, experience, and luck.

It is ironic that as we are getting a better picture of how epidemiology studies get closer to predicting illness (or recovery from an illness), we are learning at the same time to realize how irrelevant the scientific statistics

Good editors aren't better or worse, just different

It's common to compare text editors and say that one is better or worsethan another. But after a certain point this is wrong. Editors are oftennot better or worse but different than each other, each better atspecific things. Such differences mean that there is no absolute scaleof better and worse, and indeed that the question of which is a bettereditor in general is meaningless.

私人謝柬

寫完一本書
往往要多謝很多人
你可以說寫書是一個人的事
但沒有人是一個孤島
一個人的事又豈止有一個人的付出

新書出版在即
首先要感謝的是編輯夢子
在製作的過程中給了我足夠的自由度和忍受我的諸多要求

然後得感謝本書的第

普渡慈航《波羅揭諦》(Come, Come, Come Upwards) (下)



《波羅揭諦》是一套充滿缺憾的電影, 偶有佳句, 然而不成佳章. 其實故事本身寫得不俗, 至少編劇便很用心建構Sun Nyeo的角色.

Sun Nyeo代表俗世的人, 她能夠頓悟, 但定力不足. 出手協助企圖自殺的男子, 自覺是出於普渡眾生的心
