产品随想 | 读秦晖《走出帝制》:第一至第五章

 

第一章 ”演员“越来越清晰,”剧本“越来越模糊

  • 孙中山先生临终的遗嘱也说是“革命尚未成功,同志仍需努力”,可见革命后的现实的确是令人失望。如果把革命当作富国强兵的手段,革命后的民国年间显然没能实现这个目的。如果把革命当作制度的更替,那么帝制虽然废除,民主却未能建立,无论是军阀割据,还是一党专政,显然都大有违于辛亥时贤的初衷。当初的民主派固不待言,就是立宪派,乃至保皇派,也都既不希望看到军阀割据,也不希望看到一党专政的。
    ──秦晖老师,开篇正文第2页,就已扔下如此之言,读来酣畅淋漓!

  • 汉景帝:“食肉不食马肝,不为不知味;言学者无言汤武受命,不为愚”
    ──哈哈,你们文人别说了,谈谈风花雪月!谈谈现世安好!

  • 于是当时的人们就认真讨论了我们要引进的作为好东西的现代”政党“与传统时代的坏东西”会党“、
    ”朋党“有何区别。诸如政党是公民以政见认同为纽带的自由结社,会党是要宣誓效忠、贼船能上不能下的依附性组织;”朋党是专制政治的产物,政党是民主政治的产物“;政党只要求彼此政见相合,而会党则要求党员忠于党魁个人;政党是议院中”明目张胆主张国是者“,而朋党是”鼠伏狐媚以售其奸“的秘密组织;政党是多元的,”足以并立,而不能相灭“,朋党、会党则是倾轧无度、不共戴天、你死我活的;如此等等
    ──没想到100年前的先辈,已辨析如此之深,我等羞愧

  • 清末朝廷想搞的是”日本式立宪“,当然,这里指的不是战后日本那种保留了天皇的民主制,而是明治维新建立的”皇道“政体,就是明治时期那样把权力从诸侯(诸藩)那里收归中央,以强化天皇的权力,即所谓”大政奉还“”废藩置县“,在中国人看起来就像是”西化“形式下的一次”周秦之变“,即从”封建“变成真正的帝制,使天皇从类似中国古代周天子式的”虚君“变成秦始皇式拥有实权的”实君“。
    ──一针见血,清朝追求的其实只是个”立宪“壳子,假的

  • 正是立宪派与革命派加上中国传统的反对势力(会党、民变乃至朝廷内部尾大不掉的军阀政客之类)汇成大潮一齐“动蛮”,造成了清朝的垮台

第二章 ”改朝换代“与君主和平立宪的可能性问题 ──”封建“与帝制的比较

  • 后来立宪英国更是接连出了两个”外族王朝“,即源于德国的汉诺威王朝和萨克森-科堡-哥达王朝,当时”德国人“乔治一世国王因不会讲英语而不愿出席枢密院会议,形成惯例后使枢密院脱离国王干预而演变成后来的内阁。

  • 我们看看世界上成功通过君主立宪建立了现代政治的国家,无论是西方的英国、荷兰、瑞典、挪威等等,还是东方的日本、泰国,都有个共同特点,那就是它们历史上长期实行”封建制“,君主往往并不集权,却仍然稳定地得到臣民的尊敬。

  • 而那些历史上长期实行类似”秦制“的专制国家,从我们周围所谓”儒家文化圈“中的韩国、越南,直到”圈“外的沙俄、奥斯曼土耳其帝国、波斯、埃及等等,都没有走成君主立宪的道路。它们都是或者经过艰苦的努力最终走上了共和民主的宪政之路,或者在”共和“的外衣下实行极权制度,因而至今仍然面临民主化的问题。

  • 我们已经看到,在真实的传统中,国人之所以尊崇君主,与其说是基于对纲常名教的信仰,不如说主要是慑于”法术势“。

  • 所以我们的皇帝要么是”实君“,要么是命运悲惨的废君,而”虚君“比共和离”传统“更远。

  • 要之,法道互补形成了我国历史上的专制传统。而儒家价值并不支持虚君制,它除了导出众所周知的”贤君“、”王道“理念外,与共和的距离也并不比与君主立宪的距离大。
    ──法家让统治者治百姓;道家让百姓忍耐

  • 事实上,所谓”农民战争“导致改朝换代这种我国历史上屡见不鲜、几乎是周期性发生的事,不仅英国历史上闻所未闻,在所有”封建“的民族,包括我国传统时代实行”封建“制的傣族、藏族等少数民族地区,也从未有过。

  • 但有趣的是:俄国后期三百年里逐渐由“封建”向中央集权的沙皇专制演变,贵族政治没落,皇权官僚政治兴起,王室外的人们乃至平民以武力争夺皇权的”逐鹿中原“现象也随之发生。

  • 而在中国,从陈胜吴广到太平天国,外加安禄山、吴三桂者流,更不用说成功了的刘邦朱元璋等等,无论成王败寇,哪个不是”皇帝轮流做,如今到我家“?

  • 虽然有8/19政变、有1993年的炮打白宫事件,乃至车臣那样的局部战争,但是无论与沙俄帝国崩溃后死亡数百万的惨烈内战,还是与大清帝国垮台后的民初动乱相比,苏维埃帝国的解体后遗症应该说是轻的多。

  • 斯大林早年在流放土鲁汉斯克时就喜读马基雅维里的《君主论》,并在这本书上留下了”令人畏惧强于受人爱戴“,以及人的恶习只有”1.软弱,2.懒惰,3.愚蠢。其它一切(上面提到的除外)无疑都是美德“的批语。
    ──斯大林真是个可怕的人

第三章 为什么人们厌恶了帝制?

  • 今天流传甚广的麦迪森说法“鸦片战争前中国GDP占到世界的三分之一”我以为难以置信,但至少在明初以前,即马可波罗和郑和的时代,中国的王朝盛世要比当时的欧洲繁荣许多,则应该是不争的事实。

  • 中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比“封建”时代的周“王朝”和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其"改朝换代"的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。

  • 宋代的户、口比例,明代洪武后的“人口停滞”和清前朝的“人口爆炸”这三大谜都存在着严重的统计争议。

  • “天有万物与人,人无一物与天,鬼神明明,自思自量!”
    ──真是杀气腾腾!

  • 事实上那时四川何止“官军”与“流寇”,一般的人们在弱肉强食的丛林状态下,为了自利乃至仅仅为了苟存也是人相戮,乃至人相食,几乎已如那句老话:“人对于人是狼”了。

  • 因此所谓土地兼并并不会影响社会结构的稳定,“真正侵蚀王朝肌体、造成王朝衰败的,其实正是凌驾于社会之上、充当社会调节力量的中央朝廷和地方各级官府”。

第四章 不仁不义的帝制和亦道亦德的宪政 ──辛亥之变的价值观基础

  • “中国天下为家已更数千载,政令统于一尊,财富归诸一人,......逐末之人何得妄参国事”,所以“夷狄之道未可施诸中国”!
    ──刘锡鸿这样的古代官吏,真是无话可说!

  • 至今人们还把刘锡鸿、陈兰彬这样的人称为“清流”,如果这种口是心非、趋炎附势、阳儒阴法、倚权谋私的”乡愿“之徒也算”清流“,那从孔孟到东林党人大概都只能算”浊流“,而比刘、陈更”清“的,大概只有魏忠贤了。
    ──秦师吐槽犀利!

  • 显然,当时就连陈兰彬、刘锡鸿这些所谓”极端守旧派“也非常清楚帝制(”天下为家“)的不仁不义,宪政(”天下为公“)的亦道亦德。

第五章 ”宏大叙事“与”祛魅“ ──辛亥革命与保路运动的若干解析

  • 杨晟与当年徐继畲、郭嵩焘这些大儒一样把议员称为”乡绅“,因为按儒家思想,乡绅就是”从道不从君“的士大夫,是代表”公论“而独立与君主的。当然在中国只是理论(而且是古儒的理论,董仲舒以后这种理论也不大讲了)上如此,并没有制度安排来保证我们的乡绅会代表”公论“,倒是在西欧,我们的儒家看到了真正的”乡绅“。
    ──最后一句话,好凄凉!

  • 我们今天研究辛亥革命、做”事后诸葛亮“,并不是为了指责当年的人们是阿斗,而是为了我们自己不要变成”事后阿斗“

  • 重视历史的大局决不能成为给具体的罪恶作辩护的理由。只要”方向正确“就可以不择手段、”目的高尚“就可以掩盖方法的卑鄙,这样的逻辑正是过去那种”宏大叙事“令人反感的根源。
    ──有理!

  • ”自由,自由,多少罪恶假汝之名以行“

  • 如果说列宁当年不仅拿了敌国(德国)政府的钱、由德国人安排回国,后来还确实在德军占领着大片俄土的情况下制止了俄国对德作战、签订了割让半壁江山的布列斯特合约,今天主流的很多人尚且为他辩护,甚至还誉为伟大决策。那么反过来,孙中山仅仅因为曾经有过联日酬日的不当想法就遭到严词谴责、甚至连带辛亥革命都受到否定,那显然也是评人过苛,是不公平的。

  • 本来,”国有化“无论是不是个正确的方向,只要赎买、转制得当,也不一定是掠夺,可是盛宣怀的”国有化“办法确实就是掠夺。

  • 这些专制”国有化“的灾难当然不证明强权积累私产的”兼并“就是有理由的,相反,强权下的”私有化“和强权下的”国有化“构成了笔者过去论证过的”尺蠖效应“:”一个萝卜两头切,左右都是他得“,晚清的”强摊租股──强行国有化“只不过是这种恶性循环导致王朝倾覆的又一例。

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 12 Two Decisions

Jim Collins, the bestselling author of the management classics Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies and Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t, has a wonderful phrase to describe an essential characteristic of great leaders: deep restlessness. Collins applies the phrase to Steve, one of the two great leaders who inspire him the most (the other is Winston Churchill, the great English politician who was prime minister during most of World War II, from 1940 to 1945, and again from 1951 to 1955). Collins believes this restlessness is far more important and powerful than simple ambition or raw intelligence. It is the foundation of resilience, and self-motivation. It is fueled by curiosity, the ache to build something meaningful, and a sense of purpose to make the most of one’s entire life. 自己何其有幸,在不到30的年纪,就能感受到乔布斯的心境 “The things he was trying to do,” says Collins, “were always hard. Sometimes those things beat him up. But the response to fighti...

Steve Jobs at 44, By Michael Krantz, 1999

Differences and Similarities Between Apple and Pixar Apple turns out many products--a dozen a year; if you count all the minor ones, probably a hundred. Pixar is striving to turn out one a year. But the converse of that is that Pixar's products will still be used fifty years from now, whereas I don't think you'll be using any product Apple brings to market this year fifty years from now. Pixar is making art for the ages. Kids will be watching Toy Story in the future. And Apple is much more of a constant race to continually improve things and stay ahead of the competition.  His Role At Pixar At Pixar my job is to help build the studio and recruit people and help create a situation where they can do the best work of their lives. And to some degree it's the same at Apple. But at Pixar, I don't direct the movies, whereas at Apple probably, if I had to pick a role out of a film production, I'd be the director. So it...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 15 The Whole Widget

What the world did see was an effective and visionary leader at the height of his powers. These were complicated years for Apple, but Steve handled almost every challenge in exactly the manner he wanted. He had fallen into leadership at such a young age, but he was comfortable in that role now, and justifiably sure of his capacity to guide Apple’s tens of thousands of employees to the goals he set for them. During these years, he would ensure the company’s continued success in personal computers by engineering a deft switch to a new kind of microprocessor; ruthlessly and successfully managing some major transitions in his executive team; and optimizing and building upon the efficiency and ambition of the company’s product development “treadmill,” as Tim Cook describes it. This is also when he delivered what is likely to be remembered as the most notable product of his life, the iPhone, and then improved even that by pivoting once again into a strategy he personally had not wanted to pu...

Foobar2000 组件安装教程

 原作者 博客地址   汉化作者 Asion博客   关于foobar 2000的一些资源 前言 foobar2000 由于其软件架构特点以及开放的姿态,使得第三方很容易开发组件(component)来拓展它的功能。由于在官网下载的默认安装文件只带了少量几个默认的组件,满足不了使用的需求,例如:默认不带 ape,tta,tak 等音频文件格式的解码器,很多无损压缩格式音乐没法播放。所以自己下载安装组件是必备的基本技能。 foobar2000 的中文汉化版(Asion 汉化)为了方便使用,集成了无损压缩文件解码器以及一些其它有用的插件,安装时选上即可,不喜欢折腾的建议使用汉化版。 这里组件指的是 foobar2000 标准组件(*.dll 文件),而非 vst 插件等其它插件,姑且把组件分为两类: 官方组件: 英文版安装包自带,安装时可选择; 第三方组件:非官方自带的组件 除了 foo_input_std.dll 和 foo_ui_std.dll 这两个组件是必须的外,其它的所有组件都 非必需 的,可以随需要增删。第三方组件可以去 官网 、 官方论坛 或者 官方 wiki 去找,也可以去贴吧等地逛逛。 下载 还是要强调一下,这里说的是 foobar2000 component ,不是中文网上通常说的 vst 插件。 下载好的组件包一般是 xxx.zip 或 xxx.fb2k-component 格式的文件,也有用 7z 打包的。前两种都是 zip 压缩(只要把 fb2k-component 改成 zip 文件就变成了 zip: 包)。标准状况下压缩包里的内容结构应该是 xxx.zip yyy.dll README.txt (可能没有) LICENCE.txt (可能没有) (其它杂七杂八) 除少数外一般只有一个 xxx.dll 文件.一定要注意压缩包结构不能是: xxx.zip yy folder (文件夹) zzz.dll … 否则要解压缩,提取那个 dll 文件。 安装 方法一(推荐) 打开 foobar2000 的菜单 文件 > 首选项(file >preferences) 的 组件(components...

巴菲特致股东信-1976年

 笔记: 为什么选择轻资产行业:当竞争疯狂时,不会强迫加入降价大战 最终选择了费雪的思想,选择能理解的优秀企业,以合理的价格买入并长期拥有 翻译: 雪球:https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131440258 备份:https://archive.ph/XLK0S 原文: To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, After two dismal years, operating results in 1976 improved significantly. Last year we said the degree of progress in insurance underwriting would determine whether our gain in earnings would be "moderate" or "major." As it turned out, earnings exceeded even the high end of our expectations. In large part, this was due to the outstanding efforts of Phil Liesche's managerial group at National Indemnity Company. In dollar terms, operating earnings came to $16,073,000, or $16.47 per share. While this is a record figure, we consider return on shareholders' equity to be a much more significant yardstick of economic performance. Here our result was 17.3%, moderately above our long-term average and even further above the average o...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 11 Do Your Level Best

As a mass-market consumer electronics device, the iPod would eventually be sold, of course, all the usual places: Best Buy, Circuit City, big-box department stores, and even the computer retailers like CompUSA. Steve disdained all these outlets. His obsession with his products continued well after they’d been manufactured. The tacky, low-margin hustle of these chains ran completely against the minimalist aesthetic of his products and the clean exuberance of his marketing. There was only one place where he really enjoyed seeing his products sold to the public: his own Apple stores, which had debuted four months ahead of the iPod. 觉得那些喧嚣、嘈杂的零售渠道,配不上自己极美的产品 Going back as far as the debut of the Mac, Steve had always groused about the way Apple computers were sold in its resellers’ stores. The way his computers were displayed and sold represented the very worst of what could go wrong when things weren’t done his way. The salespeople, always interested in quick turnover, seemed to make litt...

产品随想 | 陪读《Make Something Wonderful:Steve Jobs in his own words》1976-1996

  There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there. And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something’s transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what’s really important to us. ──Steve, 2007 Introduction by Laurene Powell Jobs Much of what’s in these pages reflects guiding themes of Steve’s life: his sense of the worlds that would emerge from marrying the arts and technology; his unbelievable rigor, which he imposed first and most strenuously on himself; his tenacity in pursuit of assembling and leading great teams; and perhaps, above all,...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 16 Blind Spots, Grudges, and Sharp Elbows

Steve could be pretty thin-skinned when someone prominent criticized the aesthetics of his products. He took great umbrage that Neil would, as Steve put it, “pop off in public like that without coming to talk to us about his technical concerns first.” From that point on he had rebuffed all of Neil’s attempts to smoke the peace pipe. 有趣 He had blind spots, grating behavioral habits, and a tendency to give in to emotional impulse that persisted his entire life. These characteristics are often used to make the case that Steve was an “asshole” or a “jerk,” or perhaps simply “binary”—that odd adjective often used to convey the sense that he was half asshole/half genius from birth to death. These aren’t useful, interesting, or enlightening descriptions. What’s more illuminating is to take a look at the specific ways in which Steve failed to do an effective job of tempering some of his weaknesses and antisocial traits, and to consider how, when, and why some of them continued to flare up even...
