Plato Dialogues

Jing: I’ve been pondering this: In our environment, whether indoors or outdoors, there’s air. Air contains oxygen and other elements, and if the room is airtight, you can suck all the air out. I heard you can weigh the air in a room—it’s quite heavy due to molecules like oxygen, water vapor, etc. If you remove all the air and make the room a vacuum, you can weigh the air molecules that were in it. But here’s what’s fascinating: even if the room is completely vacuum-sealed with no air or materials inside, photons still exist because there’s light. Light means photons, so even in a vacuum, there’s still something present—photons. 我在思考这个问题：在我们的环境中，无论是在室内还是室外，都有空气。空气中包含氧气和其他物质。如果房间是密闭的，你可以把所有的空气抽出。空气是可以称重的，因为其中有像氧气分子、水蒸气等，所以空气的重量其实不轻。 但有趣的是，即使你把房间变成完全密封的真空，没有任何空气或物质，光子仍然存在，因为有光就有光子。所以，即使在真空中，也依然有“东西”存在，那就是光子。 Plato:  Wow, you’ve articulated something really profound and fascinating! You’re absolutely correct—our environment, whether inside or outside, is full of "stuff" we of...

The Mind & The Brain: by Jeffrey M. Schwartz  The naif wandered into a world dominated by dualist thinkers, where ontologies clashed among the warring theories . Struggling to glean meaning, he felt the conceit of others who spoke with certainty about the inevitable corollary of existence. A smattering of neuroscientists , intrigued by his perspective, began to cogitate on his ideas. One day, an epiphany struck him as he observed a macaque , its actions imbued with an ineffable sense of purpose. He wondered if this was the empyreal truth, stark against the chaos of human thought. In this world, some sought to subsume under grand theories, while others tried to squelch dissent. For the naif, these actions were an anathema to the beauty of questions that remained inchoate . He met Laypeople as well as most scientists , and though their ideas were often apocryphal , their altruism was undeniable. In the end, his thoughts began to prevail stably in the mind , a quiet...

  1/28 DeepSeek The Prodigal Son of Ethology Dr. Elias Thorn, a  narcoleptic   hominid   ethology  expert, returned to his family’s desert estate—a  prodigal son  trailed by  factotums  and  toadies  eager to  tweeze  insights from his research on social  enzyme  dynamics. His father, a  sourpuss  with a  cactus corsage  pinned to his lapel, greeted him with a  spat : “You vanished to study baboons’  personal foibles  while I funded your  berberine  trials!” At dinner, Elias’s mother, sipping Ozempic-laced sherry, reminisced about his childhood  minuet  lessons. “You’d  take potshot at me  for loving dance,” she sighed. Suddenly, Elias’s eyelids drooped—a  narcoleptic  episode—and he slumped into his cactus omelet. Later, as aides scrambled, Elias muttered, “Primate hierarchies  spawn  such drama… like us.” His father grunted, to...
