是在Mill Valley的青色山丘上。一些问题渐渐显形了,但是似乎又不尽然。
在这个自建的世界上,人们是醒着的,还是如苏菲所言,在门口的房间里熟睡呢?
这环绕的一切(技术)究竟是从那里来又向何处去?人们是完全被动的吗?最大程度地兴利抑弊是可能的吗?得益和责任能分离吗?
自牛顿以来的证据是不乐观的,而浮士德的诱惑会有终结吗?

(继续于三天后,半穹山再次见证。)
冥想,反文化与数字文明,剑刃,囚徒悖论与演化对策论,松林中的兰花(Treo留下但又没有保存的记忆),你们在青春的墓地前驻足,留下了岩块和花朵,远方是夕阳下的太平洋。
于是有了“合作工程”。(Cooperation Project )
