非常棒。其实古罗马一直想保住共和，结果还是不能阻挡，过度到帝国。最近重看斯巴达克斯，里面克拉苏对凯撒讲的一句话，whose Rome? theirs or ours? 按照我对cycle和trend的理解，pattern总会是尝试各种，所谓公正，最后还是会回到whose， who owns。obviously 人间一直这样，但是God是设计者。我经常想，游戏设计者自己不会参与玩游戏，聪明和有资源肯定会是push游戏规则的边界，但是，游戏的设计者不会以总是让同一波少数人一直赢为设计目的。这不，中国不还是出了陈胜吴广，和李自成？人不能心想事成，聪明和资源也不行，只是有一个驱动和delusion.

@这里面有一个，我认为很重要的洞察和问题。 一个集权体制，如果有资金，人才，会干出什么事？ 这些事的底线有没有？

一个极权体制（各种集权体制之中最极的），如果有资金，人才，将会有“底线思维”，其本质和具体表现就是没有底线。

纵观世界几千年历史，极权体制的老祖宗是两千多年前的中国，就是秦朝，也是真正全面的奴隶制和奴才制。但是，古典秦制由于其固有的逆向淘汰的机制，在建政后必然导致资金和人才迅速萎缩。百代秦制是明证。

共产主义救不了古典秦制。看1976年中共国几近崩溃，就是明证。

然而，全球化却给了古典秦制更Dynamic, flexible and agile 的生机。

@美国如何接管纳粹科学人才，如果有兴趣，从那开始把dark weapon和dark biochemical weapon的历史捋一捋，

此历史我在80年代看香港明珠台看过若干。那时我党的《参考消息》也有编译相关报道。

Captain America: The Winter Soldier 显然参考了此历史。

我更喜欢冷战间谍电影。“蛇”就很好看，英国MI6和克格勃如何玩CIA。而且还有二战的历史连续。两位可以了解一下另一个真实的历史“Operation paperclip”，美国如何接管纳粹科学人才，如果有兴趣，从那开始把dark weapon和dark biochemical weapon的历史捋一捋，哈哈。 这里面有一个，我认为很重要的洞察和问题。 一个集权体制，如果有资金，人才，会干出什么事？ 这些事的底线有没有？

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.”
