weasel words, […] Presidents […] may therefore be tempted to arrange wars while waving the flag and calling the wars something else - ‘police actions’, ‘armed incursions’, ‘protective reaction strikes’, ‘pacification’,‘safeguarding American interests’, and a wide variety of ‘operations’, such as ‘Operation Just Cause’. Euphemisms for war are one of a broad class of reinventions of language for political purposes. Talleyrand said, ‘An important art of politicians is to find new names for institutions which under old names have become odious to the public’.

惯用伎俩了，原来叫 weasel words…刚好前段时间在#明亮的对话 里也读到含糊用词 https://rhabarberbarbara.bar/@unagi/107911355987180825

Observational selection, also called the enumeration of favourable circumstances, or as the philosopher Francis Bacon described it, counting the hits and forgetting the misses (e.g., a state boasts of the Presidents it has produced, but is silent on its serial killers).

唔，感觉这应该是我最容易犯的一种逻辑谬误…

学到一种逻辑谬误：special pleading（片面辩护），就是说论证的时候故意忽略掉不利于自己观点的方面，或者指明某个东西是特例但又不说为什么是特例。主要是维基里这几个例子太好笑了​​：

• 為了節省開支，員工出差只准買最便宜的機票，但我是老闆，所以我可以買最好的。
• 我國國情不同，因此西式民主暫時不適合我國。
• 女生該注重外表，應該常保自己的外表乾乾淨淨的，應該留長頭髮但不該有體毛，而且皮膚要白、身材要瘦、身上不能有痘子或疤痕；不過男生不必注重外表。
• 我們應該平等對待所有族群的人，但韓國人很賤，因此韓國人除外。

Arguments from authority carry little weight – authorities have made mistakes in the past. They will do so again in thi future. Perhaps a better way to say it is that in science there ar no authorities; at most, there are experts.

What sceptical thinking boils down to is the means to construct and to understand, a reasoned argument and, especially important, to recognize a fallacious or fraudulent argument. The question is not whether we like
the conclusion that emerges out of a train of reasoning, but whether the conclusion follows from the premises or starting point and whether that premise is true.

这个我有啊哈哈哈

用了两年多的手机突然出现很多划痕，以前好像没有，难道是因为我这两天有把手机跟钥匙放在一个口袋里​​

呜呜呜，以前就算没有 corona 的时候我也不爱吃我校食堂，觉得不好吃，为什么这两天突然觉得也还蛮好吃的，我变了…关键是在外面吃顿饭一般一二十欧，食堂只要三四欧，自己做饭的话算上食材和水电费价格也差不多了吧…
呜呜呜，我爱食堂，我爱学校

唉，没见过一次面的新同事（现在也不新了）要离开四个月去实习，更见不到了。。
我也想实习。。

教授说今年审的论文里有一篇 evaluation 比较 limited，theory 也不确定是否 sound，正打算把它拒了，就在这个时候 arXiv 上发现一篇同样主题的文章，整个 theory 和 evaluation 的 package 更全。大家知道要是现在把这篇文拒了拿它就再也没有希望面世了，于是就让它通过了​​

于是我这几天从两点睡觉变成了三点睡觉…夏令时，我要你何用？

Keeping an open mind is a virtue - but, as the space engineer James Oberg once said, not so open that your brains fall out.

啊我好像刚刚才知道 sinh(x) = -i sin(ix) ?!

好想跳舞​​

我觉得我教授真的是，唉，明明知道我是猫头鹰型人，还总是把跟我的会议安排在早上九点，虽然我理解他可能只有那个时候有时间，但还是，唉。

唉，我以为上周五就能收尾的一个东西一直到这周二才写完…进度总是落后于计划，今天也不想干别的了。
