01 / belief
“Maybe I think people were limited by the imagination of the government being a single thing.”
02 / belief
“If these European astronauts, and so on, they’re still regulated by the GDPR. I think there’s two things going on here.”
03 / belief
“I think that’s something that a Confucian approach works, too, except for the Confucianism that is by coding, essentially, the rights, the norms, the best practices norms.”
04 / evaluation
“Of course, there are comedic styles that doesn’t work and that will very quickly actually reinforce conspiracy-theory thinking.”
05 / belief
“People who are very balanced and moderate I think can do better with radical transparency.”
06 / commitment
“If I find that I cannot argue from any particular viewpoint, I will book a couple of days to spend time with that community on ethnographic — just hanging out until I rotate my worldview and until I can argue from their viewpoint.”
07 / uncertainty
“I don’t know. I haven’t met an economist that I didn’t like, so I don’t think there’s any particular personality flaws there.”
08 / belief
“I think in English mostly nowadays, if you talk about natural language. For me, Mandarin — along with Mandarin, Taiwanese Holo, which are my two native languages.”
09 / evaluation
“First of all, having a clearly-spelled-out perimeter in Taiwan when it comes to privacy and a strong civil right movement that literally fought for those freedoms — and the memories are still fresh — really helps the conversation because anything that tried to encroach on the basic freedoms is immediately met with the counterargument, “Do you want to go back to the martial law?”
10 / prediction
“I think, by the current definition of eSport, it will probably be Wei Chi — Go — which is an intellectual game that’s played on stones and large boards, and of which AlphaGo, of course, showed that machines can play too.”
11 / commitment
“I learned Daoist breathing exercises, and they are with me like a survival instinct still now.”
12 / evaluation
“I read the Shih Ching, the collection of poems. It shaped me to view things always from various different cultures, because each chapter in the Shih Ching is literally one slice of culture, of a very different culture.”
13 / evaluation
“When our Minister Chen Shih-Chung, commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, put on the medical mask to show solidarity to the young boy who called to say that he doesn’t want to go to school because pink masks being rationed makes him look like he’ll be bullied, I think Minister Chen and medical officers became a little bit more transgender on that very moment.”
14 / commitment
“I take a step doing that, translating how to use the traditional rescue code that you see right there to disinfect the mask so that it kills the virus but doesn’t destroy the PPE material.”
15 / preference
“By working with internet technologies, by working with the implicit assumption of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and of press, end-to-end innovation, and permissionless innovation, and things like that, I’m more imbued in the internet scene, more imbued American value in the internet than a traditional education in the States would, I think.”
16 / commitment
“Yes, I think so, because when I was 20 years old, I would wake up, log in to the Perl IRC channel — that’s Internet Relay Chat — and type “river run,” and then a bot will just paste a random paragraph, literally a random paragraph from Finnegans Wake, which would begin my day’s work.”
17 / preference
“I think the main source of inspiration I draw off — and that’s why I call myself a conservative anarchist — is from the more Eastern traditions, the Daoist tradition, the Chuang Tzu tradition, and more definitely from Kojin, a Japanese anarchist thinker.”
18 / preference
“Maybe people eat it only because it actually tastes better and is free of the possible industrial-farming side effects, specifically carbon emissions.”
