流亡者靠記憶度日
記憶是有限的會被用盡的
剛剛想到關於惡意
我以前會說我在明處不打算防衛以對
他不是故意的他不知道他在做甚麼
至此你知道我不會下棋
這時窗外藍天白雲

Student Mental Health: A Guide for Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Leaders Serving in Higher Education (Laura Weiss Roberts, APPI, 2018)
Student Mental Health: A Guide for Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Leaders Serving in Higher Education was created to help psychiatrists, psychologists, and campus leaders both students and administrators as they work to build a university culture that supports the health, resilience, and maturation of students. Organized into four parts, the book provides an overview of university student mental health and campus culture. The chapter authors address life transitions and the university student experience, as well as the challenges of caring for university students with mental health issues. The book has positive strategies, including ways to foster mental health for distinct university student populations. The use of case studies provides an immediacy that helps the reader apply critical concepts to real-world scenarios. In addition, the editor has integrated useful adult-centered learning approaches, such as key points and discussion questions, into the rich and interesting chapters to emphasize the acquisition and retention of knowledge. Finally, the book is comprehensive, offering practical clinical guidance along with insightful perspectives on university policies, systems, and cultures.
Student Mental Health is both down-to-earth and aspirational, providing evidence and best practices to ensure greater mental health on campus, while stimulating conversation about how to ensure and optimize the value of higher education through thoughtful, sophisticated approaches to student mental health.

Remarks
delivered by President Mike Pence on the administration’s policy towards China
at Hudson Institute on October 4, 2018:
Thank you, Ken, for that kind introduction. To the Members of
the Board of Trustees, to Dr. Michael Pillsbury, to our distinguished guests,
and to all of you who, true to your mission, “think about the future in
unconventional ways” – it’s an honor to be back at the Hudson Institute.
For more than half a century, this Institute has dedicated
itself to “advancing global security, prosperity, and freedom.” And while
Hudson’s hometowns have changed over the years, one thing has held constant:
You have always advanced that vital truth, that American leadership lights the
way.
And today, I bring greetings from a champion of American
leadership, at home and abroad – the 45th President of the United States of
America, President Donald Trump.
From early in this administration, President Trump has made our
relationship with China and President Xi a priority. On April 6th of last year,
President Trump welcomed President Xi to Mar-A-Lago. On November 8th of last
year, President Trump traveled to Beijing, where China’s leader welcomed him
warmly.
Over the course of the past 2 years, our President has forged a
strong personal relationship with the president of the People’s Republic of
China, and they’ve worked closely on issues of common interest, most
importantly the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula…
But I come before you today because the American people deserve
to know… as we speak, Beijing is employing a whole-of-government approach,
using political, economic, and military tools, as well as propaganda, to advance
its influence and benefit its interests in the United States.
China is also applying this power in more proactive ways than
ever before, to exert influence and interfere in the domestic policy and
politics of our country.
Under our administration, we’ve taken decisive action to respond
to China with American leadership, applying the principles, and the policies,
long advocated in these halls.
In the “National Security Strategy” that President Trump
released last December, he described a new era of “great power competition.”
Foreign nations have begun to “reassert their influence regionally and
globally,” and they are “contesting [America’s] geopolitical advantages and
trying to change the international order in their favor.”
In this strategy, President Trump made clear that the United
States of America has adopted a new approach to China. We seek a relationship
grounded in fairness, reciprocity, and respect for sovereignty, and we have
taken strong and swift action to achieve that goal.
As the President said last year on his visit to China, “we have
an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between our two countries and
improve the lives of our citizens.” Our vision of the future is built on the
best parts of our past, when America and China reached out to one another in a
spirit of openness and friendship…
When our young nation went searching in the wake of the
Revolutionary War for new markets for our exports, the Chinese people welcomed
Americans traders laden with ginseng and fur…
When China suffered through indignities and exploitation during
her so-called “Century of Humiliation,” America refused to join in, and
advocated the “Open Door” policy, so that we could have freer trade with China,
and preserve their sovereignty…
When American missionaries brought the good news to China’s
shores, they were moved by the rich culture of an ancient but vibrant people,
and not only did they spread faith; they also founded some of China’s first and
finest universities…
When the Second World War arose, we stood together as allies in
the fight against imperialism… And in that war’s aftermath, America ensured
that China became a Charter member of the United Nations, and a great shaper of
the post-war world.
But soon after it took power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party
began to pursue authoritarian expansionism. Only five years after our nations
had fought together, we fought each other, on the mountains and in the valleys
of the Korean Peninsula. My own father saw combat on those frontlines of
freedom.
Not even the brutal Korean War could diminish our mutual desire
to restore the ties that for so long bound us together. China’s estrangement
from the United States ended in 1972, and soon after, we re-established
diplomatic relations, began to open our economies to one another, and American
universities began training a new generation of Chinese engineers, business
leaders, scholars, and officials.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, we assumed that a free China
was inevitable. Heady with optimism, at the turn of the 21st Century, America
agreed to give Beijing open access to our economy, and bring China into the
World Trade Organization.
Previous administrations made this choice in the hope that
freedom in China would expand in all forms – not just economically, but politically,
with a newfound respect for classical liberal principles, private property,
religious freedom, and the entire family of human rights… but that hope has
gone unfulfilled.
The dream of freedom remains distant for the Chinese people. And
while Beijing still pays lip service to “reform and opening,” Deng Xiaoping’s
famous policy now rings hollow.
Over the past 17 years, China’s GDP has
grown 9-fold; it has become the second-largest economy in the world. Much of
this success was driven by American investment in China. And the Chinese
Communist Party has also used an arsenal of policies inconsistent with free and
fair trade, including tariffs, quotas, currency manipulation, forced technology
transfer, intellectual property theft, and industrial subsidies doled out like
candy, to name a few. These policies have built Beijing’s manufacturing base,
at the expense of its competitors – especially America.
China’s actions have contributed to a trade deficit with the
United States that last year ran to $375 billion – nearly half of our global
trade deficit. As President Trump said just this week, “we rebuilt China” over
the last 25 years.
Now, through the “Made in China 2025” plan, the Communist Party
has set its sights on controlling 90% of the world’s most advanced industries,
including robotics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence. To win the
commanding heights of the 21st Century economy, Beijing has directed its
bureaucrats and businesses to obtain American intellectual property – the
foundation of our economic leadership – by any means necessary.
Beijing now requires many American businesses to hand over their
trade secrets as the cost of doing business in China. It also coordinates and
sponsors the acquisition of American firms to gain ownership of their
creations. Worst of all, Chinese security agencies have masterminded the
wholesale theft of American technology – including cutting-edge military
blueprints.
And using that stolen technology, the Chinese Communist Party is
turning plowshares into swords on a massive scale…
China now spends as much on its military as the rest of Asia
combined, and Beijing has prioritized capabilities to erode America’s military advantages
– on land, at sea, in the air, and in space. China wants nothing less than to
push the United States of America from the Western Pacific and attempt to
prevent us from coming to the aid of our allies.
Beijing is also using its power like never before. Chinese ships
routinely patrol around the Senkaku Islands, which are administered by Japan.
And while China’s leader stood in the Rose Garden of the White House in 2015
and said that his country had “no intention to militarize the South China Sea,”
today, Beijing has deployed advanced anti-ship and anti-air missiles atop an
archipelago of military bases constructed on artificial islands.
China’s aggression was on display this week, when a Chinese
naval vessel came within 45 yards of the USS Decatur
as it conducted freedom-of-navigation operations in the South China Sea,
forcing our ship to quickly maneuver to avoid collision. Despite such reckless
harassment, the United States Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate
wherever international law allows and our national interests demand. We will
not be intimidated; we will not stand down.
America had hoped that economic liberalization would bring China
into greater partnership with us and with the world. Instead, China has chosen
economic aggression, which has in turn emboldened its growing military.
Nor, as we hoped, has Beijing moved toward greater freedom for
its people. For a time, Beijing inched toward greater liberty and respect for
human rights, but in recent years, it has taken a sharp U-turn toward control
and oppression.
Today, China has built an unparalleled surveillance state, and
it’s growing more expansive and intrusive – often with the help of U.S.
technology. The “Great Firewall of China” likewise grows higher, drastically
restricting the free flow of information to the Chinese people. And by 2020,
China’s rulers aim to implement an Orwellian system premised on controlling
virtually every facet of human life – the so-called “social credit score.” In
the words of that program’s official blueprint, it will “allow the trustworthy
to roam everywhere under heaven, while making it hard for the discredited to
take a single step.”
And when it comes to religious freedom, a new wave of
persecution is crashing down on Chinese Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims…
Last month, Beijing shut down one of China’s largest underground
churches. Across the country, authorities are tearing down crosses, burning
bibles, and imprisoning believers. And Beijing has now reached a deal with the
Vatican that gives the avowedly atheist Communist Party a direct role in
appointing Catholic bishops. For China’s Christians, these are desperate times.
Beijing is also cracking down on Buddhism. Over the past decade,
more than 150 Tibetan Buddhist monks have lit themselves on fire to protest
China’s repression of their beliefs and culture. And in Xinjiang, the Communist
Party has imprisoned as many as one million Muslim Uyghurs in government camps
where they endure around-the-clock brainwashing. Survivors of the camps have
described their experiences as a deliberate attempt by Beijing to strangle
Uyghur culture and stamp out the Muslim faith.
But as history attests, a country that oppresses its own people
rarely stops there. Beijing also aims to extend its reach across the wider world.
As Hudson’s own Dr. Michael Pillsbury has said, “China has opposed the actions
and goals of the U.S. government. Indeed, China is building its own
relationships with America’s allies and enemies that contradict any peaceful or
productive intentions of Beijing.”
China uses so-called “debt diplomacy” to expand its
influence.Today, that country is offering hundreds of billions of dollars in
infrastructure loans to governments from Asia to Africa to Europe to even Latin
America. Yet the terms of those loans are opaque at best, and the benefits flow
overwhelmingly to Beijing.
Just ask Sri Lanka, which took on massive debt to let Chinese
state companies build a port with questionable commercial value. Two years ago,
that country could no longer afford its payments – so Beijing pressured Sri
Lanka to deliver the new port directly into Chinese hands. It may soon become a
forward military base for China’s growing blue-water navy.
Within our own hemisphere, Beijing has extended a lifeline to
the corrupt and incompetent Maduro regime in Venezuela, pledging $5 billion in
questionable loans that can be repaid with oil. China is also that country’s
single largest creditor, saddling the Venezuelan people with more than $50
billion in debt. Beijing is also corrupting some nations’ politics by providing
direct support to parties and candidates who promise to accommodate China’s
strategic objectives…
And since last year, the Chinese Communist Party has convinced 3
Latin American nations to sever ties with Taipeiand recognize Beijing. These
actions threaten the stability of the Taiwan Strait – and the United States of
America condemns these actions. And while our administration will continue to
respect our One China Policy, as reflected in the three joint communiques and
the Taiwan Relations Act, America will always believe Taiwan’s embrace of
democracy shows a better path for all the Chinese people.
These are only a few of the ways that China has sought to
advance its strategic interests across the world, with growing intensity and
sophistication. Yet previous administrations all but ignored China’s actions –
and in many cases, they abetted them. But those days are over.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States of America
has been defending our interests with renewed American strength…
We’ve been making the strongest military in the history of the
world stronger still. Earlier this year, the President signed into law the
largest increase in our national defense since the days of Ronald Reagan – $716
billion to extend our military dominance in every domain.
We’re modernizing our nuclear arsenal, we’re fielding and
developing new cutting-edge fighters and bombers, we’re building a new
generation of aircraft carriers and warships, and we’re investing as never
before in our Armed Forces. This includes initiating the process to establish
the United States Space Force to ensure our continued dominance in space, and
authorizing increased capability in the cyber world to build deterrence against
our adversaries.
And at President Trump’s direction, we’re also implementing
tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese goods, with the highest tariffs specifically
targeting the advanced industries that Beijing is trying to capture and
control. And the President has also made clear that we’ll levy even more
tariffs, with the possibility of substantially more than doubling that number,
unless a fair and reciprocal deal is made.
Our actions have had a major impact. China’s largest stock
exchange fell by 25% in the first 9 months of this year, in large part because
our administration has stood up to Beijing’s trade practices.
As President Trump has made clear, we don’t want China’s markets
to suffer. In fact, we want them to thrive. But the United States wants Beijing
to pursue trade policies that are free, fair, and reciprocal.
Sadly, China’s rulers have refused to take that path – so far.
The American people deserve to know that, in response to the strong stand that
President Trump has taken, Beijing is pursuing a comprehensive and coordinated
campaign to undermine support for the President, our agenda, and our nation’s
most cherished ideals.
I want to tell you today what we know about China’s actions –
some of which we’ve gleaned from intelligence assessments, some of which are
publicly available. But all of which is fact.
As I said before, Beijing is employing a whole-of-government
approach to advance its influence and benefit its interests. It’s employing
this power in more proactive and coercive ways to interfere in the domestic
policies and politics of the United States.
The Chinese Communist Party is rewarding or coercing American
businesses, movie studios, universities, think tanks, scholars, journalists,
and local, state, and federal officials.
Worst of all, China has initiated an unprecedented effort to
influence American public opinion, the 2018 elections, and the environment
leading into the 2020 presidential elections…
To put it bluntly, President Trump’s leadership is working; and
China wants a different American President.
China is meddling in America’s democracy. As President Trump
said just last week, we have “found that China has been attempting to interfere
in our upcoming 2018 [midterm] election[s].”
Our intelligence community says that “China is targeting U.S.
state and local governments and officials to exploit any divisions between
federal and local levels on policy. It’s using wedge issues, like trade
tariffs, to advance Beijing’s political influence.”
In June, Beijing circulated a sensitive document, entitled
“Propaganda and Censorship Notice,” that laid out its strategy. It states that
China must “strike accurately and carefully, splitting apart different domestic
groups” in the United States.
To that end, Beijing has mobilized covert actors, front groups,
and propaganda outlets to shift Americans’ perception of Chinese policies. As a
senior career member of our intelligence community recently told me, what the
Russians are doing pales in comparison to what China is doing across this
country.
Senior Chinese officials have also tried to influence business
leaders to condemn our trade actions, leveraging their desire to maintain their
operations in China. In one recent example, they threatened to deny a business
license for a major U.S. corporation if it refused to speak out against our
administration’s policies.
And when it comes to influencing the midterms, you need only
look at Beijing’s tariffs in response to ours. They specifically targeted
industries and states that would play an important role in the 2018 election.
By one estimate, more than 80% of U.S. counties targeted by China voted for
President Trump in 2016; now China wants to turn these voters against our
administration.
And China is also directly appealing to the American voter. Last
week, the Chinese government paid to have a multipage supplement inserted into
the Des Moines Register – the paper of record in the home state of our
Ambassador to China, and a pivotal state in 2018. The supplement, designed to
look like news articles, cast our trade policies as reckless and harmful to
Iowans.
Fortunately, Americans aren’t buying it. For example: American
farmers are standing with this President and are seeing real results from the
strong stands that he’s taken, including this week’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada
Agreement, where we’ve substantially opened North American markets to U.S.
products – a great win for American farmers and manufacturers.
But China’s actions aren’t focused solely on influencing our
policies and politics. Beijing is also taking steps to exploit its economic
leverage, and the allure of China’s large domestic market, to advance its
influence over American corporations.
Beijing now requires American joint ventures that operate in
China to establish “party organizations” within their company, giving the Communist
Party a voice – and perhaps a veto – in hiring and investment decisions.
Chinese authorities have also threatened U.S. companies that
depict Taiwan as a distinct geographic entity, or that stray from Chinese
policy on Tibet. Beijing compelled Delta Airlines to publicly apologize for not
calling Taiwan a “province of China” on its website. It also pressured Marriott
to fire a U.S. employee who liked a tweet about Tibet.
Beijing routinely demands that Hollywood portray China in a
strictly positive light, and it punishes studios and producers that don’t.
Beijing’s censors are quick to edit or outlaw movies that criticize China, even
in minor ways. “World War Z” had to cut the script’s mention of a virus
originating in China. “Red Dawn” was digitally edited to make the villains
North Korean, not Chinese.
Beyond business, the Chinese Communist Party is spending
billions of dollars on propaganda outlets in the United States, as well as
other countries.
China Radio International now broadcasts Beijing-friendly
programming on over 30 U.S. outlets, many in major American cities. The China
Global Television Network reaches more than 75 million Americans – and it gets
its marching orders directly from its Communist Party masters. As China’s top
leader put it during a visit to the network’s headquarters, “The media run by
the Party and the government are propaganda fronts and must have the Party as
their surname.”
That’s why, last month, the Department of Justice ordered that
network to register as a foreign agent.
The Communist Party has also threatened and detained the Chinese
family members of American journalists who pry too deep. And it has blocked the
websites of U.S. media organizations and made it harder for our journalists to
get visas. This happened after the New York Times published investigative
reports about the wealth of some of China’s leaders.
But the media isn’t the only place where the Chinese Communist
Party seeks to foster a culture of censorship. The same is true of academia.
Look no further than the Chinese Students and Scholars
Associations, of which there are more than 150 branches across American
campuses. These groups help organize social events for some of the more than
430,000 Chinese nationals studying in the United States; they also alert
Chinese consulates and embassies when Chinese students, and American schools,
stray from the Communist Party line.
At the University of Maryland, a Chinese student recently spoke
at her graduation ceremony of what she called the “fresh air of free speech” in
America. The Communist Party’s official newspaper swiftly chastised her, she
became the victim of a firestorm of criticism on China’s tightly-controlled
social media,and her family back home was harassed. As for the university
itself, its exchange program with China – one of the nation’s most extensive –
suddenly turned from a flood to a trickle.
China exerts academic pressure in other ways, too. Beijing
provides generous funding to universities, think tanks, and scholars, with the
understanding that they will avoid ideas that the Communist Party finds
dangerous or offensive. China experts in particular know that their visas will
be delayed or denied if their research contradicts Beijing’s talking points.
And even scholars and groups who avoid Chinese funding are
targeted by that country, as the Hudson Institute found out firsthand. After
you offered to host a speaker Beijing didn’t like, your website suffered a
major cyber-attack, originating from Shanghai. You know better than most that
the Chinese Communist Party is trying to undermine academic freedom and the
freedom of speech in America today.
These and other actions, taken as a whole, constitute an
intensifying effort to shift American public opinion and public policy away
from the America First leadership of President Donald Trump. But our message to
China’s rulers is this: This President will not back down – and the American
people will not be swayed. We will continue to stand strong for our security
and our economy, even as we hope for improved relations with Beijing.
Our administration will continue to act decisively to protect
American interests, American jobs, and American security.
As we rebuild our military, we will continue to assert American
interests across the Indo-Pacific.
As we respond to China’s trade practices, we will continue to
demand an economic relationship with China that is free and fair and
reciprocal, demanding that Beijing break down its trade barriers, fulfill its
trade obligations, and fully open its economy, just as we have opened ours.
We will continue to take action until Beijing ends the theft of
American intellectual property, and stops the predatory practice of forced
technology transfer…
And to advance our vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific, we’re
building new and stronger bonds with nations that share our values, across the
region – from India to Samoa. Our relationships will flow from a spirit of
respect, built on partnership, not domination.
We’re forging new trade deals, on a bilateral basis, just as
last week, President Trump signed an improved trade deal with South Korea, and
we will soon begin negotiating a historic bilateral free-trade deal with Japan.
And we’re streamlining international development and finance
programs, giving foreign nations a just and transparent alternative to China’s
debt-trap diplomacy. To that end, President Trump will sign the BUILD Act
into law in the days ahead.
And next month, it will be my privilege to represent the United
States in Singapore and Papua New Guinea, at ASEAN and APEC.
There, we will unveil new measures and programs to support a free and open
Indo-Pacific – and on behalf of the President, I will deliver the message that
America’s commitment to the Indo-Pacific has never been stronger.
To protect our interests here at home, we’ve strengthened CFIUS –
the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States – heightening our
scrutiny of Chinese investment in America, to protect our national security from
Beijing’s predatory actions.
And when it comes to Beijing’s malign influence and interference
in American politics and policy, we will continue to expose it, no matter the
form it takes. And we will work with leaders at every level of society to defend
our national interests and most cherished ideals. The American people will play
the decisive role – and in fact, they already are…
As we gather here, a new consensus is rising across America…
More business leaders are thinking beyond the next quarter, and
thinking twice before diving into the Chinese market if it means turning over
their intellectual property or abetting Beijing’s oppression. But more must
follow suit. For example, Google should immediately end development of the
“Dragonfly” app that will strengthen Communist Party censorship and compromise
the privacy of Chinese customers…
More journalists are reporting the truth without fear or favor,
and digging deep to find where China is interfering in our society, and why –
and we hope that more American, and global, news organizations will join in
this effort.
More scholars are speaking out forcefully and defending academic
freedom, and more universities and think tanks are mustering the courage to
turn away Beijing’s easy money, recognizing that every dollar comes with a
corresponding demand. We’re confident that more will join their ranks.
And across the nation, the American people are growing in
vigilance, with a newfound appreciation for our administration’s actions to
re-set America’s economic and strategic relationship with China, to finally put
America First.
And under President Trump’s leadership, America will stay the
course. China should know that the American people and their elected
representatives in both parties are resolved.
As our National Security Strategy states: “Competition does not
always mean hostility.” As President Trump has made clear, we want a
constructive relationship with Beijing, where our prosperity and security grow
together, not apart. While Beijing has been moving further away from this
vision, China’s rulers can still change course, and return to the spirit of
“reform and opening” and greater freedom. The American people want nothing
more; the Chinese people deserve nothing less.
The great Chinese story-teller Lu Xun often lamented that his
country “has either looked down at foreigners as brutes, or up to them as
saints, but never as equals.” Today, America is reaching out our hand to China;
we hope that Beijing will soon reach back – with deeds, not words, and with renewed
respect for America. But we will not relent until our relationship with China
is grounded in fairness, reciprocity, and respect for sovereignty.
There is an ancient Chinese proverb that tells us that “men see
only the present, but heaven sees the future.” As we go forward, let us pursue
a future of peace and prosperity with resolve and faith…
Faith in President Trump’s leadership, and the relationship that
he has forged with China’s president…
Faith in the enduring friendship between the American people and
the Chinese people…
Faith that heaven sees the future – and by God’s grace, America
and China will meet that future together.
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of
America.

Suspicious Minds: How Culture Shapes Madness (Joel Gold, Ian Gold 2015-7-21)
A “clear, witty, and engaging” (The Boston Globe) journey through the brain that connects neuroscience, biology, and culture. An “intellectual landmark” (Edward Shorter, Literary Review of Canada).
The current view of delusions—the strange beliefs held by people with schizophrenia and other psychiatric illnesses—is that they are the result of biology gone awry, of neurons in the brain misfiring. In Suspicious Minds, Dr. Joel Gold and his brother Ian Gold argue that delusions are the result of the interaction between the brain and the social world. They present “a dual broadside: against a psychiatric profession that has become infatuated with neuroscience as part of its longstanding attempt to establish itself as ‘real medicine,’ and against a culture that has become too networked for its own good” (The New York Times). The book “amounts to nothing less than a frontal—or perhaps pre-frontal—challenge to the dominant view of modern psychiatry, which looks to neuroscience to explain disorders of the mind” (The Washington Post).
In “a droll Oliver Sacksian tone” (The Village Voice), the Golds reveal intriguing case studies: the man who was dead and in hell, the woman who could raise the dead at Ground Zero, the man who killed God, and the people who believed they were like the characters in the film The Truman Show. These “page-turning case studies” (New Republic) of delusion “offer a fascinating and intimate portrait of psychosis” (Scientific American). “They provide more proof that no fantasist can hope to match the wonders—and horrors—of the human mind” (The Washington Post).

The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age (David E. Sanger 2018-6-19)
In 2015, Russian hackers tunneled deep into the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee, and the subsequent leaks of the emails they stole may have changed the course of American democracy. But to see the DNC hacks as Trump-centric is to miss the bigger, more important story: Within that same year, the Russians not only had broken into networks at the White House, the State Department, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but had placed implants in American electrical and nuclear plants that could give them the power to switch off vast swaths of the country. This was the culmination of a decade of escalating digital sabotage among the world’s powers, in which Americans became the collateral damage as China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia battled in cyberspace to undercut one another in daily just-short-of-war conflict.
The Perfect Weapon is the startling inside story of how the rise of cyberweapons transformed geopolitics like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes—from crippling infrastructure to sowing discord and doubt—cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists. Two presidents—Bush and Obama—drew first blood with Operation Olympic Games, which used malicious code to blow up Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, and yet America proved remarkably unprepared when its own weapons were stolen from its arsenal and, during President Trump’s first year, turned back on the US and its allies. The government was often paralyzed, unable to threaten the use of cyberweapons because America was so vulnerable to crippling attacks on its own networks of banks, utilities, and government agencies.
Moving from the White House Situation Room to the dens of Chinese government hackers to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger—who broke the story of Olympic Games in his previous book—reveals a world coming face-to-face with the perils of technological revolution. The Perfect Weapon is the dramatic story of how great and small powers alike slipped into a new era of constant sabotage, misinformation, and fear, in which everyone is a target. (amazon)

關於歷史的判斷和抉擇
剛剛去林口買虱目魚粥和生餛飩途中我說起Victor
Serge
Looking back on his life, Serge said:
I give myself credit for having seen clearly in a number of important
situations. In itself, this is not so difficult to achieve, and yet it is
rather unusual. To my mind, it is less a question of an exalted or shrewd intelligence,
than of good sense, goodwill and a certain sort of courage to enable one to
rise above the pressures of one’s environment and the natural inclination to
close one’s eyes to facts, a temptation that arises from our immediate
interests and from the fear which problems inspire in us.
Among the countless things he had seen
clearly: that the creation of the Cheka (the secret police) in 1917 was one of
the Bolsheviks’ ‘gravest and most impermissible errors’; that the Bolshevik
leadership had lied about the nature of the Kronstadt rebellion in 1921; that
the Communists would turn on the independent revolutionary left in Spain; that
Stalin would eliminate the entire 1917 revolutionary generation in order to
safeguard his power; that Russia had become a vast prison camp. (It was Serge
who first described the state as totalitarian.)
And yet he never lost hope, that
ordinary people would act for themselves and take control of their own lives.
