Everyone is a patient

I was bored and took a few selfies with Meitu Xiuxiu. It was originally a gloomy black face. With a few taps of my finger, I can turn myself into a handsome Korean wave or an innocent beauty. I laughed, too. Arouse friends amusement. The photo becomes a "fake", as long as you don't make an appointment, there is no harm.

Similarly, people’s roles in society are different from their true self. If you think about it carefully, there is actually no such thing as a normal person. Without the existence of Meitu Xiuxiu, it is still difficult for you to understand and accept a person. Meitu Xiuxiu only narrows the difference of people to appearance, which is a product of the anti-intellectual era. And the overall appearance shown by many people is diametrically opposite to their inner state. It's not that they are pretending to be pretentious, just expressing themselves selectively, which is a quick profit strategy.

I've seen a movie called "American Psychiatric" before. In real life, the male lead is a gentleman, rich and handsome on Wall Street, but he is full of thoughts about how brutally raped and murdered women. The male protagonist puts his wildness in finance, which allows him to make high profits, and then carefully dress himself up as a yuppie in order to gain fame. But his nature remains the same, and it is precisely by virtue of his inner fierceness that he has gained a foothold on Wall Street. It is also his self-discipline and meticulous thinking that in his mind, he can conceive an excellent murder plan; in reality, as always, he maintains a good image. The elegance on the outside and the cruelty on the inside seem to be at odds, but in fact they are connected. In other words, the discrepancy between the outside and the inside is an illusion. Thinking deeper, people are the same as the outside and inside. But in a limited time, under the established model, people are unwilling to accept such an explanation. This is the discipline of civilization for mankind. Over time, people are more accustomed to the face that they have to show in society, ignoring the complexity of people. Or, as Jiang Wen said, a person is a blank piece of paper, an actor, and different environments play different roles. Complexity is where purity lies.

The narrow sense of consistency between the outside and the inside is beyond the reach of most people, and only a few people have found a balance between society and their inner self. In fact, it is inevitable to separate knowledge and action to eat together. It can be seen that in the recent Mi Rabbit movement, most of the attackers are intellectuals. While showing their handsome appearance, they secretly inflict physical and mental harm on girls, which is really disgusting. Reading a lot will naturally understand the changes in human nature and become better at disguising yourself. But they are only a minority, and most of them are guilty and courageous. As the old saying goes, if you talk about things with obscene words, you don’t care about your heart, and you’re never perfect when you talk about your heart;

Liang Wendao, who is also an intellectual, is called the Taoist Chief. Of course, he has nothing to do with Mi Rabbit, but his inconsistent behavior also makes me feel very embarrassed. While writing a column in Hong Kong to criticize society (a newspaper column has the highest number of leave-offs), he also attended various salons in Beijing, praising people and systems of various colors. He claimed in the show that he is loyal to the party and patriotic, and everyone should not have illusions about him. I don't know which side of his statement to believe. Everyone understands that this is a last resort. As a boss, he is also responsible to his employees, so that he can live a good life. But it can be seen that he does not have the backbone of an intellectual as everyone thinks, he does, but he hides it. On the other hand, Professor Sun Liping and Professor Li Yinhe, no matter how difficult it is to speak up, they still insist on asking questions and criticizing them. They only look like intellectuals.

The Twitter madman Trump runs the train with his mouth full, and his style is blatant. This is not only his nature, but also his elaborate design. Under his leadership, the US economy has actually improved to a certain extent. To achieve success in business, politics, family, etc., he is definitely not what he seems to be. He is a fool who can only behave nonsense. On the contrary, he is very good at figuring out people's hearts and judging the situation. In his autobiography, it was said that the skating rink funded by the New York City government has been unfinished, wasting a lot of taxpayers' money. And this project has never been interested, but he found an opportunity and wanted to build an ice skating rink instead of the government. He was very courteous and detailed when he wrote to the government. After several twists and turns, he won the project and went to the site to supervise the work many times, paying great attention to the details. After the successful completion, he won praise from the public and the media. He has not only contributed to society, but also won fame and fortune, so shrewd.

This is still a society where you laugh at the poor but not at the prostitution. As long as you pack well enough and actually get enough benefits, the difference between the outside and the outside will become more clever than the outside. But people should be a little upright. You don’t have to do anything, but you can choose not to do anything. The former is called positive freedom by Berlin, and the latter is called negative freedom by him. He believes that the latter is higher than the former. But in retrospect, the latter is included in the former, because resistance is also a last resort. There are many talks about freedom, Mill or Rawls, or Berlin and others. Regardless of the deepest level of unification between the outside and the inside, the freedom of the inside and outside in the narrow sense is implemented in a narrow sense. In fact, as long as there is an ethnic group, you cannot get the freedom of self-expression. What's more, money can buy most of the things you want today. , Health, knowledge, material, feelings, etc., for money, people become slaves. Most people are cynics, doing different things in the name of the same. But whether to survive or earn money, there are always different postures: some are standing, some are squatting, and some are kneeling. Even if there is a difference between the outside and the outside in order to survive, don't fall into the third kind.

American Psycho quotes

  • Patrick Bateman: Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
