\n<\/span><\/i>ZZ says \u201cdepressed\u201d when I ask how it\u2019s going and \u201cthis war\u201d as to why and \u201coh, the trade war\u201d when asked \u201cwhich war\u201d?
\n<\/span>ZZ runs an AMZN AI lab, ZZ is friends with poets from the \u201980s \u6587\u5316\u70ed culture fever days, ZZ knows poetry & history & code
\n<\/span>ZZ is on university leave to devise AI solutions that will drive innovation & growth for retailers & service providers & clients of all kinds
\n<\/span>ZZ asks whether students care about what we teach because everything\u2019s falling apart: Do Chinese freshmen care about the humanities?
\n<\/span>I say \u201cDiogenes the Cynic\u201d & \u201ccosmopolitan\u201d & \u201cmindfulness\u201d\u00a0 & \u201cneuroscience\u201d & \u201csoft authoritarianism\u201d & \u201cBuddha\u201d & \u201cclimate change\u201d
\n<\/span>ZZ says, \u201cthey should take that global society class when they\u2019re seniors and know something. How about your poetry?\u201d I show him my iPhone screen
\n<\/span>It\u2019s June 3, 2019, cool & cloudy, global atmospheric CO<\/span>2<\/span> at 415 PPM, as we surveil & are surveilled: ZZ pulls up a WeChat <\/span>I Ching\u00a0<\/span><\/i>mini-program<\/span>
\n<\/span>This is all predictable, given enough time, data & material: ZZ generates Z<\/em><\/span>hun <\/span><\/i>\u5c6f with his <\/span>I Ching<\/span><\/i> app. Zhun<\/em> \u5c6f: \u201cDifficult Birth\u201d (Minford)
\n<\/span>Zhun<\/em> \u5c6f: \u201cBirth Throe\u201d (Hinton); \u201cBeginning\u201d (Huang); \u201cDifficulty at the Beginning\u201d (Wilhelm), and I do indeed struggle with these lines
\n<\/span>Yet with time enough to wander, I take the Metro to Luban Lu; I learn:<\/span> L\u01d4b\u0101n \u9b6f\u73ed is the god of builders and contractors, I learn online:
\n<\/span>L\u01d4b\u0101n, god of carpentry and masonry, invented\u00a0 the saw, the square, the planer, the drill, the shovel, the cloud ladder (for sieges), grappling hooks
\n<\/span>L\u01d4b\u0101n, god of builders and contractors, invented a naval battering ram, a flying wooden bird, a wooden bicycle, and his wife invented the umbrella
\n<\/span>L\u01d4b\u0101n, god of carpentry and masonry, was a bad student in the state of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period preceding the Warring States
\n<\/span>ZZ asks whether students care about what we teach because everything\u2019s falling apart; Zixia set L\u01d4b\u0101n straight with the <\/span>Shijing<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Zhouyi<\/span><\/i>, they say
