A free man thinks of nothing less than of death, and his wisdom is a meditation, not on death, but on life (Spinoza, Ethics IV, 67).

Negative Dialectics (negativity vs vitality) (nihilism)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_Dialectics
https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100227235
A new form of dialectical thinking developed by Theodor Adorno in Negative Dialektik (1966), translated as Negative Dialectics (1973), which many regard as his magnum opus. Written with the explicit aim of radicalizing western philosophy as a whole by generating a mode of what he termed non-identity thinking, Negative Dialectics offers a bold programme for an immanent and self-reflexive critique of philosophy rather than a specific concept. This programme can be understood as the attempt to resolve, though not once and for all, two different problems: first, if concepts are not identical with their objects then in a certain sense they are inadequate to the task of defining objects; second, if we are aware of this, but accept that philosophy has no other resource for understanding and defining objects except the concept, then we have to figure out how to create an adequate form of philosophy using means we know to be inadequate. Concepts cannot be identical with objects by definition. So this isn't simply a problem of a poorly conceived concept that could be remedied by creating a better concept. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that both concepts and objects change over time. Thus, every concept has a history and is embedded within history. Adorno's solution to this twofold problem is to build a critique of concepts into his critique of philosophy. Since this is a working with (rather than a resolving of) the fundamental problem of the inadequacy of concepts it is described as negative dialectics. That is to say, it is a restless form of thinking which does not proceed from, or expect to arrive at a transcendental or transcendent ground or principle. Negative dialectics directs philosophy to confront the interfaces between concepts, objects, ideas, and the material world.

Hans von Dohnanyi (1902-1945)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_von_Dohnanyi
Hans von Dohnanyi (German: [hans fɔn doːˈna.niː]] ⓘ; originally Johann von Dohnányi Hungarian: [ˈdohnaːɲi]; 1 January 1902 – 8 or 9 April 1945) was a Germanjurist. He used his position in the Abwehr to help Jews escape Germany, worked with German resistance against the Nazi régime, and after the failed 20 July Plot, he was accused of being the "spiritual leader" of the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler, and executed by the SS in 1945.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Bonhoeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German: [ˈdiːtʁɪç ˈbɔnhøːfɐ] ⓘ; 4 February 1906 – 9 April 1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian and anti-Nazi dissident who was a key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity's role in the secular world have become widely influential; his 1937 book The Cost of Discipleship is described as a modern classic.[1] Apart from his theological writings, Bonhoeffer was known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Adolf Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews.[2] He was arrested in April 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Tegel Prison for one-and-a-half years. Later, he was transferred to Flossenbürg concentration camp.
Bonhoeffer was accused of being associated with the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler and was tried along with other accused plotters, including former members of the Abwehr (the German Military Intelligence Office). He was hanged on 9 April 1945 during the collapse of the Nazi regime.

存在治療 (1130330)
1. 一般心理治療，將人生 (生命) 心理學化，或精神分析化，
2. 存在治療，則將人生 (生命) 存在化，
3. 「心理學化」，或「精神分析化」，的意思是說，將人生的「問題性」（problematique) (aporia) (quagmire) 用心理學，或精神分析，的理論框架和概念，通常是病理化的方式，來理解和操作，意思是說，視對方為病人，以助人者，治療者自居，
4. 「存在化」，的意思是說，將人生的問題性，用人文學的啟發來凝視和祈福，
5. 理解和操作，再怎麼節制，仍然難脫斧鑿，
6. 凝視和祈福，再怎麼用力，仍然難脫徒然，
7. 意思是說，心理治療，基本上必須有用；存在治療，基本上頂多無用，
8. 你問，既然無用，豈不多此一舉，
9. 意思是說，存在治療，的最大的問題性，就是其自身存在，
10. 意思是說，最需要存在治療的，就是存在，就是存在治療，就是存在治療者 (所以 Bion 說，診療室裡有兩個人，病得比較輕的那個，叫做治療者），
11. 為什麼，生命存在，存在治療自身，和存在治療者自己，成為問題，
12. 因為，這三者，都是「事件」（意思是說，存在治療，之所以為治療，就是要讓這三者，堪稱得起，成為事件）
13. 換句話說，存在治療，面對的是事件，
14. 事件，意涵毀滅破壞，和變化生成，
15. 換句話說，事件意涵 negativity vs vitality，
16. 成住壞空；毀滅破壞，蘊含，變化生成；反之，變化生成，蘊含，毀滅破壞，
17. 這件事，讓人不安，
18. 因為，我們習慣，在自己的舒適區討生活，
19. 日復一日，歲月靜好，
20. 就是畢生心願，
21. 殊不知，天災人禍，隨時可以，摧毀以致崩塌，這個一畝三分的靜謐，
22. 意思是說，存在治療，之所以為「治療」，
23. 就是，喚醒我們，激勵我們，振奮我們，勇氣我們，
24. 泰山崩於前，而色不變，
25. 你說，這豈不是，末世之學，
26. 我說，現代性以降，迄今數百年，我們生活的這個世界，就是奔著末世，沒有煞車，油門踩到底而去，
27. 意思是說，值此，講存在，講存在治療，
28. 豈不恰當，
29. 聽我此說，你想了一會，復追問道，既然「頂多無用」，何苦來哉，
30. 我微笑說，這個世界的問題，恰出在「有用」二字，唯其無用，方可對治有用，
31. 所作已辦，為而不有，為而無用，
31. 而且，不要忘記，剛剛我們是說，色不變，我們沒有說，挽狂瀾，
32. 意思是說，人只能做，人該做能做做得到的事，
33. 人在做，天在看，
34. 這是，為什麼，祈福，的原因，
35. 至於凝視，就是看清楚的意思，
36. 換句話說，存在治療，之所以為治療，就是要我們，清楚做人，
37. 意思是說，清楚做人，就是對自己所處存在，沒有閃躲，沒有自欺，不忍為惡，非徒有工具理性，而有價值理性頂住自己的存在，遂有心安理得的回應，

Lebensphilosophie (philosophy of life) (negativity vs vitality) (nihilism)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensphilosophie
人生哲學[1]（英語：Philosophy of life），也稱人生觀[2]，是一個哲學術語。「哲學」一詞本身在其領域當中通常至少存在著兩層分別爲正式和非正式的用法。在正式的語境下，哲學指的是對審美、倫理、知識論、邏輯、形上學、社會哲學及政治哲學的學術性研究。在非正式的辭令當中，個人的哲學觀則被稱作「人生哲學」，旨在解決對人類狀態的存在性問題，即生命的意義[3]。人生哲學也指哲學思維中的一個特有概念——「生活型態」[4]，最早在德國生命哲學運動中獲得推廣，其代表性人物是威廉·狄爾泰[5]及包括亨利·柏格森[6]、皮埃爾·哈多[4]在內的幾名歐陸哲學家。
意思是說，生命哲學，非學院正經哲學，乃販夫走卒哲學，這點深得我心，平生最厭惡見人裝腔作勢，比如說，習近平裝崇禎皇帝，共匪裝為人民服務，國民民眾黨裝熱愛台灣，你要理解，裝就是假裝，意思是說，生命哲學，就是每天洗五千個碗，你見到那五千個碗，你就知道，你裝也沒用，你裝不了，以上說明，生命哲學，就是洗碗工哲學，沒有大道理好說，你要理解，廟之為廟，需要沈默的神佛，和癡傻的廟公，前者不可說，後者就是生命哲學家，

The Economic Singularity Club: The Impact of AI
https://economicsingularities.wordpress.com/
In 2017, Calum Chace co-founded the Economic Singularity Club, "a loose group of technologists, academics and writers who think the threat of mass technological unemployment is worth taking seriously".[8] In January 2019 the group published Stories from 2045, a collection of short stories by some of its members speculating on what the world might look like in 2045.
怎麼經營客棧
你要理解，客棧是用來睡覺的地方，所以行軍床很重要，其次，人會肚餓，所以用餐很重要，其次，既然這個世界，只有少數想不開的人，喜歡洗澡，所以浴室需要但不重要，再者，你要理解，Sebald 說，他唯一可以，當成家的地方，就是瑞士，阿爾卑斯山谷的小客棧，意思是說，從歐洲廢墟，他長途跋涉，來到一個，童話世界，遂不捨離去，沈從文說，湘西邊城客棧，日復一日，為客死他鄉的旅人辦喪，意思是說，客棧須備冰櫃 （不是冰箱）焚化爐 （不是瓦斯爐），這很重要，正確的說，這是客棧，唯一存在的理由，唯一必備的傢俱，
Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge (Benjamin Y. Fong, 2023)
Drugs are ubiquitous in the past and present of capitalist society. What can they tell us about our society and economy?
Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the 21st century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified “war” on drugs. How did we get here?
Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America’s passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century.
Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans’ fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses.
By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American?
節氣就是天地 (Negativity vs Vitality) (Nihilism)
十九世紀上半葉，德國哲學意在成為系統 (will to be a system) (這個壞風氣，應與歌德黑格爾康德有關)，這是為什麼，尼采不願做普魯士人的原因，
尼采說的，歐洲虛無主義 (European Nihilism)，正是來自，系統取代了神，意思是說，神死在人的系統手中，
毛澤東說，和尚打傘，無法無天，意思是說，法治和天地，死在共匪手中，
什麼是天，
什麼是，人在做，天在看，
比如說，許家印會所，四十二樓 (取意四十二章經，和香港一樓一鳳)，養了一窩曼妙舞伎 (妓)，趙家人和這些高級雞，床上翻滾昇天的時候，皮帶哥在看，天在看，
意思是說，天就是共匪的攝像頭監控，人臉識別，
天淪落至此，你認為，天，跟神，算不算都死透了，
小結，神之死，就是歐洲虛無主義，天之死，就是中國特色社會主義虛無主義，
我對神，有點疑慮，神學，是否亦為系統，包山包海的系統，
我對天地，比較放心，因為這是自然哲學，擬人化用力不深，而且馬馬虎虎，差不多就好，漏洞百出，沒有打算成為系統，
意思是說，節氣非系統，只是一首歌，
一首天地旅人，暗夜行路，歸鄉猶遙的歌，
