吉美-瓷器

自從燕姐埋頭收翡翠默默搞大以後,我喜歡上了玉.因為玉,我喜歡上了古董.因為古董,我專門跑了趟巴黎,在吉美見了不少好東西.這樣仔細,有底氣地逛博物館,我是第一次.
這隻元藍釉龍紋梅瓶是國寶級文物.同樣的梅瓶現存三件,分別存於頤和園,揚州博物館和吉美.據說頤和園和吉美的兩件有瑕疵,如果沒記錯,吉美這隻的瑕疵在瓶頸和龍紋上.
彩釉按顏色我更喜歡紅釉,大概是因為喜歡漆器; 按器型更喜歡小件, 大概是因為青花太霸道. 所以對這隻梅瓶的喜歡確實有限, 最大的興趣是這是一件酒器.

今年有一門課,名字是Doctoral Workshop. 據說是爲了培養各位準博士的科學素養,方便把獨木橋走成8車道.又據說,這課是今年新開的,歡迎吐槽. 教學內容大概是這樣: 課程的組織者提供8篇本院博士寫的論文,每人選取一篇,以此寫一篇referee report,一篇extension paper.其中需要將論文中的模型推導及實證部份按作者的方法逐步重複,因為據說之前就有大牛的數據被成功吐槽,成就了一名或幾名Phd.
於是,開課以前我滿心歡喜.想想,用人家的數據,按人家的方法做實證分析,槽點至少以噸計,搞不好都夠寫本小書的.可我在三件事上大意了.第一,參加課程的一共16人,論文有8篇,兩人一篇,論文題目統一時間公佈,先到先得,沒選上的隨機分配;第二,論文公佈的時間是早上8點;第三,我嗜睡.最後我被分了到一篇博弈論的文章.
那是8篇文章裏題目最簡潔的一篇,叫Stochastic Signaling: Information Substitutes and Complements.大概講的是生物爲什麽要顯擺, 顯擺到什麽程度, 有什麽效果, 在外部非完美信息可用的時候對這個效果有什麽影響.據說因為大量使用數學,是個艱深的題目.當然,我選題當初並不知道這些.因為打心眼裏這是我最討厭的一類文章,基本上所有和博弈論有關的文章都是,我在看到他們第一眼的時候大腦就自動空白. 這不是我瞧不起博弈論或者反對博弈論的研究,那是很有趣的一門學問,熟練掌握對行走江湖有利,可以幫助日後迅速做出決斷.但就像其他經濟學研究一樣,寂寞的博士、教授們成功地把他變成了炫耀數學家底的工具,不厭其煩地,事屄無比地,秀下限,智商的.
數學是一種語言,高度邏輯.在經濟學上用好了事半功倍,能瞬間說明白叨屄叨半小時說不明白的事.一張圖,一個式子,邏輯通透如皓月.可明顯這不是大部份人接受的牛屄.人都好為人師,自己越是明白別人越不明白就越能成就自己,無論是否必要,相關.
說回科學.目前經濟學論文中,特別是研究基礎理論的論文中,有數不清的假設,定理,不過是爲了讓定義的函數有解,有經濟學上或許可以解釋的解,有和自己主張相符的解.數學的確是一種高度邏輯的語言,更符合科學研究的要求,但有時候一句話能說明白的事要在數學上完整地表述出來是極困難的,就算不困難也是極事屄的,這時候數學的存在就極大地阻礙了信息的獲取和交換.這要不是研究方法、方向有問題,就是各位在炫技,對了,一定是的,signaling嘛,costly的哦.

不求甚解-媙

wēi, 《字彙》於非切,音威. 美女貌. 一曰俗字.
意思就是靚女, 但又和威是同音字. 最近被巧妙地用在李鵬的女兒李小琳身上.
南寧本地白話酒令開頭是 “xx你威啊”. xx是對對方的稱謂, 一般是”兄弟”, 也可以是”大哥”, “友仔”……當然酒桌上不乏女性, 那這個酒令自然就成了”靚女你媙啊”. 同理, 粵語表讚歎習慣用一個”勁”字, 南寧白話是”威水”, 而”水”在閩南語裏用來形容美, 漂亮的東西. 那麼酒桌上三中全會以後, 姑娘都開始漂亮以後, 是不是也可以說一句”靚女, 你真系好撚媙水”.

大酒, 來不及爛醉
Berchtesgaden and Salzburg
最近把德國和維也納浪了一遍, 7天沒吃素, 沒斷酒. 上嘴唇劃出痘大的一道潰瘍, 臉腫了半面, 近似面癱, 笑起來有崔老師的神韻.
這一趟用了T-max400, 發現他比Provia還細膩.
