And shall we not best guide humanity by telling the truth about all this, so far as the truth is ascertainable?” &ndash; W.E.B. Du Bois</p></blockquote> <p>乌托邦（utopia）由来已久，其要旨就是用简单的方法解决复杂的问题，其根源就是面对复杂的世界人总是希望可以有一个简单的解释。长久以来，人们知道这是做不到的，却从来没有放弃，总是不断尝试不断失败。因此反乌托邦（dystopia）也会时不时出现。</p> <p>讲故事应该比乌托邦的历史更久远。一个故事就是对世界或对人生的一个简单解释，让我们多一种理解。这也是源于人渴望对复杂不确定的世事有所明了。讲故事写故事的冲动就是为了构建一个虚拟世界，从而更好地理解面前的现实世界。</p> <p>世界是复杂的不确定的，而人自己其实也是复杂的变化的，没有人确知世界和自己的未来。</p> <blockquote> <p>There is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are ageless. &ndash; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Kundera">Milan Kundera</a></p>
