M (FJU 2019) - Postmodern Cowboy: C. Wright Mills and a New 21st-century Sociology (The Sociological Imagination) (Keith Kerr, Routledge, 2008)
More than 50 years ago, C. Wright Mills heralded a new age for sociology for the 1960s and beyond. Yet his forward-looking vision also foretold some of the social conditions we associate, more recently, with postmodern society. This intellectual biography of Mills emphasizes early life experiences that shaped Mills's expansive vision of the future, just as Kerr develops, from Mills, tools for confronting current and looming problems. Drawing upon little-known documents, Kerr expands our knowledge about this leading 20th-century sociologist, and shows how forward-looking Millsian scholarship can enhance the endeavors of sociology today.

M (FJU 2019) - Radical Nomad: C. Wright Mills and His Times (Great Barrington Books) (Tom Hayden, Routledge, 2006)
Not long after co-authoring The Port Huron Statement, the charter document of sixties activism, Tom Hayden completed, at the University of Michigan, an intellectual biography of eminent scholar C. Wright Mills. It is published here for the first time, along with newly written essays by Hayden and by prominent social theorists who are experts on Mills and his ongoing influence today. Hayden cogently traces Mills' scholarship and his progressive activism to the events and thinkers of earlier generations. Ideas in major books by Mills (The Power Elite, New Men of Power, White Collar, Character and Social Structure, The Sociological Imagination) can now be better understood in light of the influences of Mills during and before his time, including the impact of two world wars, the Great Depression and the New Deal, the failures of the Soviet state, and changing relations between workers and industry in America and worldwide. The book thus brings us a new and much more complete understanding Mills's political theories and philosophy. With only one previous biography of Mills in print, this book is a major contribution to our understanding of C. Wright Mills in American intellectual life. (amazon)
M (FJU 2019) - The Social Thought of C. Wright Mills (Social Thinkers Series) (A. Javier Trevino, SAGE, 2011)
This inaugural volume of the Pine Forge Press Social Thinkers series provides a concise introduction to the work, life, and influences of C. Wright Mills. Accessible and provocative, this book closely examines the writings and ideas of C. Wright Mills that now, over half a century later, remain crucial in better understanding today′s world.
The book′s primary focus is on two of his lifelong intellectual concerns: the interrelationship between social structure and personality and the bureaucratization of modern society and the power relations it produces. The book is ideal for use as a self-contained volume or in conjunction with sociological theory textbooks. (amazon)

M (FJU 2019) - Charles Wright Mills (1916–1962)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Wright_Mills
The Sociological Imagination (1959), which is considered Mills's most influential book, describes a mindset for studying sociology, the sociological imagination, that stresses being able to connect individual experiences and societal relationships. Three components form the sociological imagination:
- History: why society is what it is and how it has been changing for a long time and how history is being made in it
- Biology: the nature of "human nature" in a society and what kinds of people inhabit a particular society
- Social Structure: how the various institutional orders in a society function, which ones are dominant, how they are kept together, how they might be changing too, etc.
Mills asserts that a critical task for social scientists is to "translate personal troubles into public issues". The distinction between troubles and issues is that troubles relate to how a single person feels about something while issues refer to a society affects groups of people. For instance, a man who cannot find employment is experiencing a trouble, while a city with a massive unemployment rate makes it not just a personal trouble but an issue.Sociologists, then, rightly connect their autobiographical, personal challenges to social institutions. Social scientists should then connect those institutions to social structures and locate them within a historical narrative.
Stalking the Sociological Imagination: J. Edgar Hoover's FBI Surveillance of American Sociology (Mike Keen, Praeger, 1999)
It is now common knowledge that the FBI and its long-time director, J. Edgar Hoover, were responsible for the creation of a massive internal security apparatus that undermined the very principles of freedom and democracy they were sworn to protect. While no one was above suspicion, Hoover appears to have held a special disdain for sociologists and placed many of sociology's most prominent American figures under surveillance. Using documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, this volume portrays the FBI's stalking of the sociological imagination, offering a detailed account of its investigations within the context of an overview of the history of American sociology. This groundbreaking analysis of a previously hidden chapter of American intellectual history suggests that the activities of Hoover and the FBI marginalized critical sociologists such as W.E.B. Du Bois and C. Wright Mills, suppressed the development of a Marxist tradition in American sociology, and likely pushed the mainstream of the discipline away from a critique of American society and towards a more quantitative and scientific direction. The author also turns sociology back upon the FBI, using the writings and ideas of the very sociologists Hoover had under surveillance to examine and explain the excesses of the Bureau and its boss.

M (FJU 2019) - 黨中央國務院關於存在治療的若干說明
存在是一個深奧的中文片語
存就是悶聲發大財偷偷存錢
在就是在央視公開承認沒有否認不在
前者是經濟學
後者是政治學
如果一直存在
超過三十年
你就是歷史學家
如果一直存在
超過三十年
還能引述孔子說學而時習洗錢並且存之不在之
你就是宋明理學家
我認為中國人對存在治療
最大的貢獻將在於宋明理學和漢傳佛學的發揚光大
不是拿掉上下文的魯迅兄的直面二字
剛剛去麥當勞買豬肉滿福堡
路上車多到爆這件事讓我十分後悔
昨天我說存在治療是一樓和一樓半
這說明了它在一樓還沒有決定要不要上二樓
其實我知道它上不了二樓
習先生和德先生和賽先生和波多野結衣小姐
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7NUL11US1s
吉濱明步(b 1984)
聽說已經引退
永恆勃起的黨中央
和無法勃起的北大學生
都很擔心波多野結衣(b 1988)
也會看破紅塵
歷史是一包衛生紙沾滿鮮血和黏液
七等生說生命就是
蠕蟲爬過殘存的黏液
波多野結衣伸出舌頭以資證明幽幽地說
歲月靜好
你們不需要存在治療
反正我也治療不了你們的存在
或勃起

M (FJU 2019) - 入口 關於存在治療的若干意見
入口是六根六識六塵
入口是喜怒哀樂未發之前
入口是多年重覆之惡夢
入口是坐在歷史亂葬野塚
入口是面對此生殘局
入口是銀翼殺手2049
當然入口不過入口
windy night
立夏前二日風急且驟
酷暑可待又將反覆澆水
心理治療無法是哲學的
因為治療者是拙劣的哲學讀者
傑出的哲學家大約三歲開始
思考宇宙生死存有為什麼天是藍的
意思是說那是宿慧
所謂該讀的書十歲就該讀完
這樣方可二十初創見已現
接下來三十年不過鋪陳而已
治療者的局通常是困在自己的傷口數十年
終於可以調侃自己之後他才可能治療別人
哲學對他是擦邊的界外球
當他在傷口中悟出一點半生不熟的道理
但是我們知道好吃的牛排
必須是半生不熟的

M (FJU 2019) - 先說結論 關於存在治療的若干意見
1987某日我在火車上
突然想到治療關係必須是存在上的關係
否則它就不足以稱之為治療
這句話有點籠統
接下十五年這裡那裡
大概該看到的都看了
2003左右收起來第一次
2018年底又粗講了一次
我想我相信的存在治療是
草根的 (bottom-up) 所以是 PBE
(Practice-Based Evidence)
叛逆的 (rebel) 否則無法面對卡謬桑
每天的 (quotidian) 所以必然是 dirty
realism 因為光鮮不可能是真的
現象學的路
詮釋學的誠意
存有的關懷 乃至惻懷
歷史的 存有在世間的歷史
不只個人史 家族史 生活世界的歷史更重要 (i.e.
more Kafkaesque than Proustian)
以上沒有承諾救贖
沒有宗教信仰系統在後面撐腰
跟神佛無關
是人間的事
因為是叛逆的
所以跟批判的心理治療有關
因為是每天的也是歷史的
所以跟自體的心理學有關
雖然歹戲拖棚是常態
我們仍希望看到眼睛為之一亮的瞬間
廟
我先前說過
小時候我住在嘉義
圓福街三十六號
不遠處就是圓福寺
所以廟是每天都要經過的地方
2000-2010間每個星期二下午
我去關渡醫院看完診後
習慣搭捷運去淡水老街
街上有一個清朝的廟
所以廟是每個星期二都要經過的地方
經過的意思是坐一下
不是拜拜不是燒香不是求神
是看人拜拜燒香求神
心裡慢慢會有一種奇怪的安靜
然後帶著這個安靜我去忠孝東路四段中心診所看夜診
那是人車喧囂神已退位的地方
通常看診後在頂好廣場也會坐一下
抽幾支菸我已不記得
看到甚麼想些甚麼
那時已經過了晚上九點有點疲倦了
其實疲倦是每天的必然不只是那天
廟的正確地點應該是厝邊街角
我希望廟裡可以讓人抽菸
意思是說我希望遇到開明有教養的神
3:07 AM
Holocene以來人類對自然開始控制得住
這裡自然指的是植物和動物
兩者都是用來吃的
前者是主食
後者是補充蛋白質
飯後還有甜點飲品
This time period, between 11 700 and 6000 years
ago, is when we might look to if we were to search for nature’s primeval,
virginal baseline state – one free from ‘significant’ human disturbance.
However, if it ever existed, this condition was to end with the domestication of
plants and animals.
Roberts, Neil. The Holocene: An Environmental
History (p. 7). Wiley. 2014, Kindle edition.
吃好喝好的結果就是瞅著彼此褲襠
不停繁衍人越來越多的結果就是群居
從部落到小鎮到城市到超級城市
從石版屋到四合院到透天厝
到房地產商蓋起密密麻麻的小區高樓
這時除了對自然繼續掠奪外
人對人開始密密麻麻的控制
就像管理養豬場或血汗工廠一樣
你沒有聽過豬自殺
你聽過人類的正常自殺發生率是萬分之一嗎
超過萬分之一管理者就要緊張
就要請來法師誦經
就要雇用治療者紓壓安撫
以免工人驚恐憤怒罷工造反
以上就是
過去一萬兩千年全新世的
以人為中心的
糟蹋萬物以至自己的歷史
這時我終於理解
人類這個齷齪的自以為萬物之靈的物種
非滅絕不可

Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy (George Gilder, Gateway Editions, 2018)
A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH
FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: "Nothing Mr. Gilder says or writes is ever delivered at anything less than the fullest philosophical decibel... Mr. Gilder sounds less like a tech guru than a poet, and his words tumble out in a romantic cascade."
“Google’s algorithms assume the world’s future is nothing more than the next moment in a random process. George Gilder shows how deep this assumption goes, what motivates people to make it, and why it’s wrong: the future depends on human action.” — Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies and author of Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
The Age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But it’s coming to an end. In Life after Google, George Gilder—the peerless visionary of technology and culture—explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns.
Google’s astonishing ability to “search and sort” attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodies—videos, maps, email, calendars….And everything it offers is free, or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The system of “aggregate and advertise” works—for a while—if you control an empire of data centers, but a market without prices strangles entrepreneurship and turns the Internet into a wasteland of ads.
The crisis is not just economic. Even as advances in artificial intelligence induce delusions of omnipotence and transcendence, Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on security. The Internet firewalls supposedly protecting all those passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable.
The crisis cannot be solved within the current computer and network architecture. The future lies with the “cryptocosm”—the new architecture of the blockchain and its derivatives. Enabling cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, NEO and Hashgraph, it will provide the Internet a secure global payments system, ending the aggregate-and-advertise Age of Google.
Silicon Valley, long dominated by a few giants, faces a “great unbundling,” which will disperse computer power and commerce and transform the economy and the Internet.

M (FJU 2019) - 基本配備
Jack
Reacher身上帶著
一本過期的護照
一隻折疊的牙刷
一張ATM提款卡
好像就這麼多了
意思是說Reacher行走四界
漂泊江湖的基本配備
就這麼多了
當然他武功很好
上午我們討論到
做一個人的基本配備是甚麼
四肢健全無病無痛
生命徵象穩定
這是生理上的基本配備
心理上的基本配備是
基本信任(basic trust)
安穩的依附(secure attachment)
安全的internal working model
不須證明的自我肯定 (mirroring)
生命理想的有所歸趨 (idealizing)
斡旋得來的自我功能 (ego function)
裝得道貌岸然很像不太正常的訓導主任的超我 (superego) (比如說沒有被酒精融化 或太過嚴厲)
生命力勃然的本我 (id) (比如說還有衝動的能力 從錯誤中學到生活的痛苦的教訓)
夠聰明 足以應付工具理性
走進便利商店買包菸
想到這裡
時間就到了
其實我還希望加幾句
對生活的既粗曠又細膩的理解
壓不扁的韌性
對自己大笑大哭對這個世界大怒大悲的真性情
一開始我是這麼說的
心理治療是素樸的生活的
不過如此
而存在治療不是高聳的心理學 (height psychology)
不過是極其平常的被打趴的每一天的(Quotidian)的現象學的考察
而所謂深度心理學 (depth psychology)
不過是讓人熟悉黑暗的世界不要怕黑怕鬼怕走夜路
意思是說那是用來壯膽的口哨
林口
察覺自己的存在
尤其是察覺自己的存在的有限
聽說就是意識的誕生
察覺自己的意識的疲倦
尤其是察覺自己雖然疲倦但仍無法停息的驅力
聽說就是潛意識的誕生
這兩件事聽說機器學習
很快就會學會
這是為什麼反覆看BR 2049
每次只能看五至十分鐘
遲遲不忍看下去的原因
窗外的涼意是入夏前最後一場雨
節氣是中國小農幾千年觀察天象的歸納
昨天突然知道人類世的世界
將沒有這場雨
我剛剛說過
你去看BR 2049就知道
