非常棒。其實古羅馬一直想保住共和，結果還是不能阻擋，過度到帝國。最近重看斯巴達克斯，裡面克拉蘇對凱撒講的一句話，whose Rome? theirs or ours? 按照我對cycle和trend的理解，pattern總會是嘗試各種，所謂公正，最後還是會回到whose， who owns。obviously 人間一直這樣，但是God是設計者。我經常想，遊戲設計者自己不會參與玩遊戲，聰明和有資源肯定會是push遊戲規則的邊界，但是，遊戲的設計者不會以總是讓同一波少數人一直贏為設計目的。這不，中國不還是出了陳勝吳廣，和李自成？人不能心想事成，聰明和資源也不行，只是有一個驅動和delusion.

@這裡面有一個，我認為很重要的洞察和問題。 一個集權體制，如果有資金，人才，會幹出什麼事？ 這些事的底線有沒有？

一個極權體制（各種集權體制之中最極的），如果有資金，人才，將會有“底線思維”，其本質和具體表現就是沒有底線。

縱觀世界幾千年歷史，極權體制的老祖宗是兩千多年前的中國，就是秦朝，也是真正全面的奴隸制和奴才制。但是，古典秦制由於其固有的逆向淘汰的機制，在建政後必然導致資金和人才迅速萎縮。百代秦制是明證。

共產主義救不了古典秦制。看1976年中共國幾近崩潰，就是明證。

然而，全球化卻給了古典秦制更Dynamic, flexible and agile 的生機。

@美國如何接管納粹科學人才，如果有興趣，從那開始把dark weapon和dark biochemical weapon的歷史捋一捋，

此歷史我在80年代看香港明珠台看過若干。那時我黨的《參考消息》也有編譯相關報道。

Captain America: The Winter Soldier 顯然參考了此歷史。

我更喜歡冷戰間諜電影。“蛇”就很好看，英國MI6和克格勃如何玩CIA。而且還有二戰的歷史連續。兩位可以了解一下另一個真實的歷史“Operation paperclip”，美國如何接管納粹科學人才，如果有興趣，從那開始把dark weapon和dark biochemical weapon的歷史捋一捋，哈哈。 這裡面有一個，我認為很重要的洞察和問題。 一個集權體制，如果有資金，人才，會幹出什麼事？ 這些事的底線有沒有？

In his Colorado Springs speech, Trump waxed nostalgic about the films of Hollywood’s golden age, which he presumably regards as inherently more Oscar-worthy than “Parasite.” “Let’s get ‘Gone With the Wind’ back, please? ‘Sunset Boulevard,’ ” he said. “So many great movies.”

In fact, before following his father into real estate, Trump at one point harbored dreams of being a studio mogul not unlike the ones who had made those movies. After graduating from New York Military Academy in 1964, Trump briefly considered attending USC’s film school.

Over the years, Trump — who has made cameos as himself in numerous films such as “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” “Zoolander” and Woody Allen’s “Celebrity” — has expressed his admiration for an eclectic range of films.

He has heralded tough-guy movies like “Rambo” and “Death Wish,” singling out the president-as-action-hero Harrison Ford film “Air Force One” as a particular favorite. He has spotlighted films starring Jon Voight, an outspoken supporter, like “Midnight Cowboy” and “Deliverance.” And he has shown a particular, if unsurprising, fondness for movies that showcase his real estate properties, saying in a 2012 video review of “The Dark Knight Rises,” “The movie is really worthwhile seeing — and most importantly Trump Tower, my building, plays a role.”

Asked by Movieline in 2012 to list his five favorite films of all time, Trump named Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane,” the Sergio Leone spaghetti western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Gone With the Wind” and two gangster movies, “GoodFellas” and “The Godfather” — a fairly conventional list, albeit one with a noticeable tilt toward violence and retribution. (Traits he may even appreciate in “Parasite,” should he ever watch it.)

In a 2002 interview with documentary filmmaker Errol Morris, Trump elaborated on his love for “Citizen Kane” and reflected on what could be learned from Welles’ portrait of publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane. “ ‘Citizen Kane’ was really about accumulation,” Trump said. “At the end of the accumulation, you see what happens, and it’s not necessarily all positive.”
