Recently, while watching some videos, I used pen and paper instead of a computer to jot down some key points. Unlike typing on a computer, using pen and paper forces me to record key points without wasting time on the completeness and perfection of notes.

The company's Mid-Autumn Festival gift box contains fruits, which I think is a very correct and practical gift box. After all, the mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival are overpriced and often not tasty at all.

Xmind's revenue mainly relies on over a hundred thousand paying users. Can a tool last for over a decade and still be relevant? The product manager's words were quite enlightening: workflows will change, and Xmind's role must adapt to those changes; there are demands to be explored both upstream and downstream of Xmind.

Chai Jing interviewed a classmate of Li Keqiang, who recalled that during their time at Peking University, Li, coming from a rural background, rarely sat on chairs. Initially, he would squat on the chair in class and only sat down after seeing other classmates do so.

"To be honest, the slogans about annihilating the American and British imperialists and liberating a billion Asian people are just empty rhetoric to incite the masses. Personally, I always want to stand on the side of justice. ... All my likes and dislikes stem purely from human instincts. I cannot decide to love or hate someone based on nationality." — A passage from the wartime diary of Japanese youth Sasaki Hachiro.

For some car designs, I can't fathom what the designer was thinking. A typical example is: removing the four armrests from the top of the car interior, calling it minimalist design; hidden door handles, claiming to reduce wind resistance.

I learned a new term: Whataboutism. Derived from "what about," it translates to "what about that," often appearing in response to accusations against A by questioning how B also has this problem. It is a form of evasive reasoning.

One point I increasingly feel is that everything is irreversibly sliding towards obscenity. Here, obscenity is not in the narrow sense. Borrowing this quip, it roughly expresses what I want to say: power is a man's aphrodisiac. In fact, it is anyone's aphrodisiac.

Regarding censorship: if there is no censorship at all, it would be a mess; in the case of censorship, if it serves the public, maintains the current community environment, and remains open and transparent rather than authoritarian, it could be an ideal approach.
