《Kindred 把別人家當辦公場所》

Kindred 就像是工作版的 Airbnb，採用會員制，申請者可以以非常低價甚至免費入住，同時也需要開放自己的住家。我覺得可以改善在自己家容易分心被打擾的問題，或是有些人就是必須擁有特定環境所建立的儀式感，才能好好專心。另外也有可能遇到其他一同入住的房客，降低獨自一人工作的孤獨感。

《Understanding Adventure Tourism》

Adventure Tourism Is the Fastest-Growing Global Niche. 

What does this mean? It means that there’s plenty of room for young experts to enter the field.  It’s not just the "guides" that the adventure tourism industry needs.  It’s everything that goes with it, from adventure tourism accommodations to trip planners, event managers, marketing and finance directors, advertising, public relations, and communications. We want to highlight that adventure tourism requires more than just guides, and various careers within adventure tourism play a big role in attracting high-value customers, supporting local economies, and encouraging sustainable practices.

Adventure tourism is defined as the movement of the people from one to another place outside their comfort zone for exploration or travel to remote areas, exotic and possibly hostile areas. Adventure tourism is a type of tourism in which tourists engage in adventure activities such as trekking, climbing, rafting, scuba diving, or the likes.

 

Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing the tourist to step outside their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock or through the performance of acts that required some degree of risk whether real or perceived. It is also about connecting with a new culture or a new landscape and being physically active at the same time. It is not only about being risky or pushing your boundaries. In fact, it is especially important to know and respect your limits while you are in an unfamiliar area.

 

Adventure travel is a leisure activity that takes place in an unusual, exotic, remote, or wilderness destination. It tends to be associated with high levels of activity by the participant, most of it outdoors. Adventure tourists expect to experience various levels of risk, excitement, and tranquillity and be personally tested. In particular, they are explorers of unspoiled, exotic parts of the planet and also seek personal challenges. The main factor distinguishing adventure tourism from all other forms of tourism is the planning and preparation involved.

《己願他力》

這世界上事情是怎樣惡化的呢？通常惡化的原因，並不是沒有人去解決問題，相反，是太多人去解決問題。很多人「去解決問題」，但是問題不僅沒有解決或者減緩，反而越來越嚴重。

這聽起來很荒謬嗎？但事實就是這樣。

香港的通漲是怎樣計算，甚麼導致通漲呢？那就是租金，香港的租金不斷井噴，所有東西的營運成本，包括店鋪，辦公室，倉庫都高租，營運成本也水漲船高，香港的通漲與生活成本就是比別人高了一截。這也是香港很多問題的源頭，包括創業艱難，大家每月花大量開支在租金上，居住環境惡劣等。

租金越漲，通漲就越漲，通漲越漲，政府就加薪。然後社會受到壓迫，產生更多貧窮，精神病，治安等問題，那怎樣辦呢？支持政府的人說，那就要增加編制，反對政府的人也說，政府要解決問題。結果大家都同意的是，政府要增員，結果問題越大，政府就越大，也越貴。

大家都認為政府是負責解決問題的人，但政府怎看都是問題的受益者，只要社會的問題越大，政府就可以有更多人手和更多的薪水，不斷的正向循環。而政府的開支不斷增加，要怎樣撐起來呢？要撐得起香港政府的開支，就需要香港的資產價格夠高，使他能夠從地產和相關的稅收中受益，換句話說，為了養更多解決問題的人，最好的方法是從惡化問題源頭中得到資源。

就是那麼完美的循環。而香港政府，也不過就是其中一個故事而已。

解決問題的人越多，問題越不能解決，這偏偏就是世界的常理，當解決問題的受益者，或者問題的受害者，並不是解決問題的人本身時，就很大機率會變成這樣。

己願他力確是美好，也是每個巨嬰都想要的，不過己願他力的結果，就是別人也不是傻瓜，他力不會實現你的己願，他力只會實現他願，從中取利。

《社會的理盲濫情》

香港與大陸，都未曾民主化過，都是被專制統治的社會。這個被專制統治的社會，有一個很重要的特徵，就是責任轉嫁，專制統治有萬般不好，但他總有一個被人民們熱愛的特質所以才那麼可行，那個特質就是他很方便我們推卸責任。政府強迫我們接受統治，政府腐敗專制，所以呢？所以一切的社會問題，都是他們的錯，我們是無辜而眼睛雪亮的百姓，他們是邪惡的統治者。

東亞儒家文明為何脫離不了專制，那不是因為我們的政客都是充滿野心沒有理想的魔頭。如果你看歷史，孫中山，毛澤東，誰不是以理想青年出身的，誰不是對民主自由有過期望，誰去到最後不是變成一個軍事獨裁者。

因為大家從人生中都體會到，這群百姓是甚麼回事，容易受騙，容易被煽動，害怕面對真相，對一切事情的判斷都是武斷的，不論是好騙難教，還是理性濫情，都顯示如果跟這群人的意思去做的結果，就是害死大家，陷入互相殘殺，貧窮，冤枉，互不信任以及互相毀滅的悲劇當中。

最終也只有一個答案，那就是要他們服從，凌駕他們的意見，然後指引他們活路，使他們不毀滅自己，而你也不會被一起毀滅，也就是專制統治，理性濫情的人，只適合被專制統治。只有專制統治下，這些人才不會害死自己。

如果你深知社會是理盲的，濫情的，然後這是不可動搖，不可改變的，這個社會會一直的理盲濫情下去，而且無法制止，這些人會聽信謠言，會遭受煽動，然後群眾們正不斷尋找獵巫的獵物，擁有理性與知識的你，隨時會變成他們圍剿的對象，他們會仇恨指出真相的人，他們會濫用一切的機制，貪小便宜，殺雞取卵。

那麼你最後的結論，一個非常理性的結論，就是你知道除了有一群強勢而且相對能夠說話的傢伙，將這些人管起來，讓他們不要生亂，這是保護你自己的最好方法。這些傢伙可能很討厭，專制獨裁，但至少他們能夠受到一定程度的理性指揮，而且他們不做一些毀滅自己的事情。

如果大家眼中看到的選擇，不是民主與專制，而是理盲與專制，應該不少人會寧可選擇專制。

有沒有聽過北風與太陽的故事？北風與太陽都要人脫下保護自己的衣服，北風猛吹，人只是抓著衣服反而更保護自己，太陽則發熱，熱到你發覺衣服是令人不適而自己脫下來。

北風是強制推銷，而太陽則是製造需求。
