《推薦閲讀：Thomas Friedman 專欄——反恐之戰後是什麼？對中國的戰爭？》New York Time 2021 年 9 月 7 日

（What Comes After the War on Terrorism? War on China）

過去五年來，美國和中國一直在走上脫離一體化的道路，甚至可能走向徹底對抗。

在Thomas Friedman 看來，這是中國在國內外越來越強勢的領導風格，它的國家領導人、雙方的貿易政策。

而不斷變化的經濟結構，是造成這種逆轉的主要原因。”

“在與中國打交道時，說話要輕聲細語，但美國總是帶著高額關稅（和一艘航空母艦）。”

Thomas Friedman, "What Comes After the War on Terrorism? War on China?" New York Times, September 7, 2021

"For the past five years, though, the United States and China have been stumbling down a path of de-integration and maybe toward outright confrontation. In my view, it is China’s increasingly bullying leadership style at home and abroad, its heads-we-win-tails-you-lose trade policies and the changing makeup of its economy that are largely responsible for this reversal."

"When dealing with China, speak softly but always carry a big tariff (and an aircraft carrier)."

* 紐約時報知名專欄作家佛里曼（Thomas Friedman）在911恐怖攻擊事件20周年前夕，呼籲全球應「多合作、少對抗」。

他並表示，如果美國增加在教育和基礎設施的投資，而非把錢浪費在阿富汗和伊拉克戰爭上，如今就能更有效與中國競爭。

1999 年Thomas Friedman出版「了解全球化─Lexus與橄欖樹」（The Lexus and the Olive Tree）一書中，點出在全球化新時代「超強憤怒者」正在崛起的危險。

他曾經是紐約時報駐中東的記者：早在911之前，他已經聞到了憤怒組織的味道。他只是不知道他們的名字。

「超強憤怒者」的原型是賓拉登：但他們可以一直源源不絕，來自不同的中東非洲地區，而且不斷的產生新組織，新領導人。

因為這些地區和西方的仇恨史太長、太深、而且他們的自我宗教意識愈來愈強。他們要西方人，包括英、法、美、義⋯⋯滾出阿拉伯人的聖地。他們不能接受以色列對巴勒斯坦領土的不斷吞噬，而美國毫無條件支持。他們感覺自己正在失去耶路撒冷聖城，因為經由西方的強勢語言，耶路撒冷正等同於耶穌的名稱。穆罕默德的聖山、土地、歷史被「消失斬首」了。

早在911之前，1998年夏天，蓋達組織已經轟炸了美國駐坦尚尼亞和肯亞大使館，當時的美國總統柯林頓政府向阿富汗發射了70多枚巡航飛彈進行報復。

這是美國這個超級強權有史以來，首次以個別組織為目標，發射飛彈。

當時Thomas Friedman 警告：除非我們解決了造就賓拉登這類超強憤怒者的社會經濟背景和宗教環境，否則他們將對美國的威脅只會越來越大。

這個隱憂，三年後的以9 月11日的恐攻，化為現實。

隨著冷戰結束，對之後國際秩序預測出現不少爭論。 例如，法蘭西斯．福山（Francis Fukuyama）預測自由市場將獲勝，而且和平即將到來。

但他顯然錯了，衝突並未消失。

Thomas Friedman 曾預測廿一世紀會出現一個古老和新穎事物並存的世界：種族認同和全球化併存，貿易競爭和生產鏈的世界。

在這樣的新世界裡，部族、宗教、民族主義的衝動和全球秩序保持平衡，偶爾會激烈爭鬥。

二十年過去，Thomas Friedman 認為，這個預測是正確的。

儘管俄羅斯總統普丁在2014年吞併克里米亞半島，但他並沒有派軍隊入侵烏克蘭首都基輔。

雖然中國收緊對香港的管控，但並未入侵台灣。

他認為那是因為全球秩序及互相依存，已成功遏制民族主義的衝動。

Thomas Friedman 認為美國於 2001年入侵阿富汗追捕賓拉登，然後在 2003 年攻入伊拉克，錯誤聲稱該國擁有大規模毀滅性武器。

美國浪費了很多時間和金錢。

在過去的 40 年裡，世界本來大致保持和平。

他認為，這種和平的核心是以美國和中國共存為特徵的全球經濟體系。

但這種平衡，現在可能即將改變。因為中國已成為一個更具實力及侵略性的強權 。

In Taiwan total health coverage, including dental and even massages....is 30usd per month.

But that's because it actually goes towards health...and not a CEO's wallet.

Nier Replicant Tree Memories - The Color of Lost Envy & how many were lost to the Red-Eyed Beasts
In the second half of Nier Replicant, after some major story events, you’ll return to the Forest of Myth one more time. This time, the Mayor will point you to the large tree at the back of the forest, which is worshipped in this area as if it were a god. When you go and interact with the tree, you’ll once again be given some riddles to solve - but this time there’s a twist.

That twist is as follows - we can’t give you the absolute answers to these riddles as there’s an element of randomness to them. The only way you can find the answers is by carefully reading the stories the tree tells, and then from those stories discerning the correct answer. However, we can explain how to find the correct answer in your game. Here’s that:

Q: "What was the color of lost envy?"
A: Answer with whatever the color of the girl’s eyes was in the first of the tree’s stories. It’ll appear like this: “Only one person brings the boy comfort: a healthy young girl with tan skin and [ANSWER] eyes.”
Q: “I implore you: How many were lost by the warrior who fought the red-eyed beasts?"
A: This detail is outright stated in the story; it says how many companions she has had. Look out for the following line: “Her friends and fellow warriors come and go. Some flee in terror. Some are eaten. She began the fight with [ANSWER] companions, but most are gone now.”

歡迎再度來到桌遊秀!這次要來玩的是Among Us太空狼人殺的桌遊版 The Menace Among Us!
我們究竟能不能在達成目標的情況下存活呢? 快來看看吧!


Among Us》是一款多人電子遊戲，由美國]遊戲工作室InnerSloth開發並於2018年6月15日發布。遊戲以太空為主題，玩家將扮演船員（Crewmate）或入侵者（Impostor）之一。船員的目標找出入侵者並完成任務，而入侵者的目標是殺死所有船員而不被發現。雖然遊戲於2018年發布，但鮮有問津，直到2020年因為眾多Twitch實況主和YouTuber遊玩才流行起來。為回應遊戲的熱度，遊戲開發者於2020年8月宣布將開發續作《Among Us 2》，但是一個月後（9月）宣布取消續作的開發，將重點轉移到改進原版遊戲上
The Menace Among Us is a semi-cooperative game of intrigue and survival in deep space. Adrift and powerless, your crippled vessel is bleeding oxygen. As you effect repairs, every breath you take brings you one step closer to death. You must work together to restore power before the air runs out — but hidden among you, as loyal friends and crew members, are imposters who have infiltrated security and continue to sabotage the ship. Their only goal is to avoid detection and kill the crew, by force or by asphyxiation. Can you identify them in time and eliminate the threat? Or will succumb to the menace among us?

The Menace Among Us is a 40 to 60-minute, asymmetrical card game for 4-8 players. Each player chooses an Agenda at random, either a loyal Crew member, a deadly Menace or the Coward, who’ll take any side just to survive. Your Agenda card sets a Team Goal and an Individual Goal, as well as outlines any special abilities and the card composition of your individual 13-card deck. Then, knowing your Agenda and Goals, you choose a Character who you believe will best help you achieve them or mask your true identity. Characters add 7 new cards to your deck, shuffle-building a unique combination of cards, as well as provide you two specialized Above Deck Actions.

In this hidden traitor game, how you play your cards and abilities is far more important than the meta game aspects of accusations and denials. Cards are played face down and shuffled together as “Below Deck Actions.” Here, Menace players secretly sabotage the ship’s systems and attack crew members, who are trying to save the ship with their cards. If too few crew members risk going below deck to effect repairs, the ship’s Emergency Maintenance Assistant (EmMA) adds cards to the pile to help. However, the system has also been compromised and occasionally places damaging cards into the mix, providing plausible deniability to the Menace players. In contrast, Above Deck Actions are conducted in full view of the crew. Most of these abilities have costs, either in Energy or Oxygen, both resources the crew is trying to increase. So, while The Doctor has the ability to heal a crew member and remove a debilitating effect, a Menace player, who may be secretly in control of The Doctor, cares far more that it costs 2 Oxygen to perform the healing.

At some point, someone’s behavior will raise suspicion. But, did they do so because they are trying to fulfill an Individual Goal – or are they a Menace? You can call a vote to expose their true nature. But if they are a loyal Crew member, you’ve just blown precious Oxygen in the effort to detain them. For that matter, was it a Menace player calling the vote in hopes of wasting the air on purpose?

If the Crew can find and eliminate the Menace players – and raise the Energy to a safe threshold before the air runs out, they win. If the Menace can prevent this or kill the crew outright, their mission succeeds. Special commendations are awarded for surviving and for achieving your Individual Goal.
