It took author Madeleine Thien nearly a decade to write her new novel The Book of Records. In the story, 7-year-old Lina and her father take refuge at an imagined place called the Sea. There, buildings serve as a waystation for people who are fleeing one place to make home in another. Thien says she wanted to set her novel in a location where centuries and histories might converge. In today's episode, Thien talks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about her personal relationship to the three historical thinkers who enter the story: Hannah Arendt, Baruch Spinoza, and Du Fu.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Luca Stirpe"Senza ali per tornare"Orientalia Editricewww.orientalia-editrice.comTraduzione dal cinese a cura di Luca StirpeQuesto volume vuole essere una testimonianza e una riflessione sull'orrore della guerra attraverso i versi di Du Fu (712-770), uno dei più geniali poeti cinesi di tutti i tempi. Nei trentaquattro testi selezionati che coprono un arco di vent'anni, la maggior parte dei quali tradotti qui per la prima volta in lingua italiana, il poeta descrive la tragedia di un intero popolo, devastato dalla Rivolta di An Lushan che sconvolse la Cina dei Tang negli anni 755-763.Pur composte in un luogo e in un periodo determinati, in queste poesie spazio e tempo sembrano dissolversi: una guerra diventa ogni guerra, un tempo ogni tempo, un luogo ogni luogo in cui l'uomo venga privato della sua umanità.Il volume restituisce il ritratto di un poeta dalla profonda sensibilità sociale, che trovò nella poesia il mezzo più potente per esprimere il suo impegno civile e la sua critica politica.Un'opera imprescindibile per chiunque voglia comprendere la grandezza di Du Fu e la ricchezza della poesia cinese classica.Du FuPoeta cinese, nato a Tu-Ling nello Shensi il 712 d. C., morto a Lei-Yang nel Hu-Nan il 770. Fu poeta di corte dell'imperatore Süan-Tsung, ebbe varî uffici pubblici, ma conobbe anche la povertà e l'esilio; passò parte della sua vita, ritirato a vita privata, nella città di Ch'eng-Tu. È considerato, con Li-Tai-Pe, uno dei maggiori lirici cinesi, per quanto il carattere della sua poesia, dotta e meditativa, sia nell'intimo assai lontano dalla vivida limpidezza e ingenua gioia di vita della lirica di Li-Tai-Pe.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

The Book of Records is many things: a book of historical fiction and speculative fiction, a meditation on time and on space-time,  on storytelling and truth, on memory and the imagination, a book that impossibly conjures the lives and eras of the philosopher Baruch Spinoza, the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu and the political theorist […] The post Madeleine Thien : The Book of Records appeared first on Tin House.

I am super delighted to have Tiffany Dufu, the President at The Tory Burch Foundation, on for this episode of #29DaysofMagic! 2025! She talks about being a Girl Scout selling cookies, and her first real job which she absolutely hated, but she really learned how helpful it was to learn that people can say no to you over and over but the world doesn't fall apart. She talks about her incredible journey where so many amazing incredible women saw her and invited her into the room and how impactful that has been for her career and starting her own companies. Tiffany talks about the 4 levers of economic opportunity and how the fourth is entrepreneurship and how important that is to help people. She talks about how important the work she is doing at the Tory Burch Foundation is especially in this current climate. She points out that instead of asking the question, "How am I to solve this challenge?" instead she asks "Who is going to help me solve it?" and how important it is especially for women entrepreneurs to remember that this is not a solo journey."We build trust by asking for help, not for offering it," - Tiffany DufuCheck out the Lavender oil She mentioned here: https://www.loccitane.com/en-us/lavender-essential-oil-15HE005L14.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwtu9BhC8ARIsAI9JHakYQOFtck3W7LQ-KpAtBk8W3TC_D6NENUZoNCPYBYlUEDOnOqWzUsIaAnvVEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.dsL'OCCITANE Lavender OilConnect with her here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tiffanydufuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tdufu/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoSIgKTfYRMmBreoNv_8-aALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanydufu/Personal Website: https://www.tiffanydufu.com/Her Company Website: https://www.weareluminary.com/luminary-crus

What is a good life, and how do we make sense of the world when it seems like society is collapsing? In this episode, Lucas Bender joins us once again to discuss the work of Du Fu (712-770 C.E.), the great Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty. Luke helps us to see how Du Fu's “Passing the Night by White Sands Post Station” can be read in multiple ways depending on how one translates each word of the poem. In doing so, he reveals the poem's concerns with aging, disappointment, and the possibility of hope in difficult times.

Embark on a tempestuous voyage through the turbulent waves of literary history as we confront the enduring tempest of the Shakespeare authorship controversy. In this fiery episode of History Rage, we're broadcasting live from the Gloucester History Festival, where host Paul Bavill is joined by the renowned historian, broadcaster, and author, Michael Wood. Together, they set sail to dismantle the conspiracy-laden waters that question the Bard's very pen.The Bard's Battle:- Michael Wood expresses his simmering frustration with the theory that William Shakespeare did not author his own works, confronting the classist undertones fueling this persistent myth.- An examination of the education and environment that shaped Shakespeare, highlighting the robustness of Elizabethan grammar schools and the Bard's voracious appetite for reading.The Conspiracy Castaways:- A critical look at the main contenders championed by authorship skeptics: the Earl of Oxford and Francis Bacon, revealing the absurdity of their claims through historical evidence and linguistic analysis.- Wood debunks the Oxfordian theory with its timeline troubles and the Baconian hypothesis with its linguistic lunacy, proving both to be more fiction than fact.The Authenticity Anchor:- A defense of primary sources as the bedrock of historical understanding, emphasizing the importance of contemporary, corroborated evidence in validating Shakespeare's authorship.- Wood calls upon the historical documents that anchor Shakespeare to Stratford-upon-Avon, his acting troupe, and his literary legacy, challenging any who dare to drift from these truths.The True Treasure:- While acknowledging the genuine mysteries of Shakespeare's life, Wood advocates for a focus on the fascinating unknowns rather than the fabricated falsehoods.- A personal reflection on the allure of the Bard's enigmatic history and a yearning to uncover the untold tales of his formative years.Join us for a tempest of truth as Michael Wood passionately defends the Bard from the slings and arrows of outrageous skepticism.

Today's poem is Spring View by Du Fu, translated by Arthur Sze. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Victoria Chang writes… “I have always loved imagining how people lived a long time ago, what they thought about, how they dressed, what they ate. One of the best ways to see how people really lived is through poems, really old poems. Du Fu is a poet who lived during the Tang Dynasty in China from 721 to 770, A.D. He was one of the three most prominent poets in the Tang era, along with Wang Wei and Li Bai. Du Fu lived during turbulent war times, which feels like every era of history, including our present times.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today's poem is the work of an eighth-century poet whose reputation didn't peak until the twentieth century. Li Po's “The Solitude of Night” (translated here by Shigeyoshi Obata) resembles Japanese haiku in its atmospheric brevity and is heavy with the kind of common-to-man melancholy the modernists would feel so deeply more than a millennium later.A Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, Li Po (also known as Li Bai, Li Pai, Li T'ai-po, and Li T'ai-pai) was probably born in central Asia and grew up in Sichuan Province. He left home in 725 to wander through the Yangtze River Valley and write poetry. In 742 he was appointed to the Hanlin Academy by Emperor Xuanzong, though he was eventually expelled from court. He then served the Prince of Yun, who led a revolt after the An Lushan Rebellion of 755. Li Bai was arrested for treason; after he was pardoned, he again wandered the Yangtze Valley. He was married four times and was friends with the poet Du Fu.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Today, we'll introduce arguably the greatest-ever Chinese poet, who lived more than 1,000 years ago and is survived by over 1,400 poems, which in itself is nothing short of a miracle since he spent most of his life wandering across the country.

Writing during the celebrated Tang dynasty, Du Fu is heralded as China's greatest poet, musing on subjects from how to cook noodles to war and rebellion. Speaking to Spencer Mizen, Michael Wood charts Du Fu's fascinating life, and explores what the poet can tell us about medieval Chinese culture.

In the winter of 770 the Chinese poet Du Fu wrote his final words, ‘Excitement gone, now nothing troubles me…/ Rushing madly at last where do I go?' Looking back at his life and work, the historian Michael Wood retraces Du Fu's journeys across China. He lived through war and famine, but his poetry found beauty and grandeur in the minutiae of everyday life and the natural world. Michael Wood tells Tom Sutcliffe how Du Fu's poetry has the timeless quality of Shakespeare or Dante. The travel writer Noo Saro-Wiwa goes on a different journey into China, finding out about the lives of Africans living there today. In Black Ghosts she traces the waves of immigration from the 1950s onwards, which benefitted African students and economic migrants who found Europe closed to them. As she meets those from all walks of life – from visa-overstayers to top surgeons – she considers the precarity of their lives, and the ultimate power imbalance in Sino-African relations. China is Africa's largest trading partner and in the past China has lent huge sums for infrastructure in its Belt and Road project. But as China's economy begins to falter, the economist and China specialist George Magnus looks at the implications. Abroad many African countries are deeply indebted, and at home after 40 years of China's seemingly irrepressible rise, the country is now facing a surge in urban youth unemployment and signs of deflation.

In this episode, Lucas Bender guides us through his translation of Du Fu's "Facing Snow," one of the most famous poems in the Chinese language.

An academic society has urged the producers of a popular movie to apologize for factual errors in the film to avoid misleading viewers and hurting the feelings of people from where the historical events took place.洛阳市隋唐史学会称因“与史实不符”，要求《长安三万里》制片方道歉，以避免误导观众，伤害历史事件发生地百姓的感情。The Luoyang Society of Sui and Tang Studies, based in Luoyang, Henan province, said in a statement via social media that the animated movie Chang An, which depicts historical and political events and famous poets during the Tang Dynasty, has several key areas that "severely vary from historical events".动画电影《长安三万里》以盛唐为背景，讲述唐代的历史和政治事件以及著名诗人之间的友谊和往事。河南省洛阳市隋唐史学会在社交媒体上发表声明称，该电影几个关键情节与真实历史不符。According to the society, the first meeting of Li Bai and Du Fu, two renowned poets in China's history, took place in the year 744 in Luoyang, not in Chang'an, or present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi province, which the movie says. Du also grew up in Luoyang, not in Chang'an as the movie claims.根据该学会的说法，著名诗人李白和杜甫的第一次相逢是在公元744年的洛阳，并非影片中描写的长安或今天的陕西省西安市。杜甫早年生活在洛阳，并非影片中描写的长安The movie has a scene called "Three Greats within a Day", which depicts the meeting of a painter, a swordsman and a calligrapher who each give their own exceptional performance. However, the society said that the incident actually took place at a temple in Luoyang, not in Chang'an.电影中“一日三绝”场景，描绘了画家、剑客和书法家的风云际会。然而，该学会表示，这起事件实际上发生在洛阳的一座寺庙中，而非影片中描写的扬州，The movie, which premiered on July 8, had earned 1.7 billion yuan ($235 million) at the box office as of Thursday, according to movie statistics website Maoyan. The film has been especially popular with teenagers, and many of them like to recite verses from the poetry-filled movie.根据电影统计网站猫眼的数据，《长安三万里》于7月8日首映，截至8月17日，票房收入已达17亿元(2.35亿美元）。该电影深受青少年的喜爱，引发了“背诗热”。Although it's unreasonable to change the movie, the producers can still acknowledge their mistakes publicly and apologize to viewers to ease online vitriol, the society said.隋唐史学会表示，虽不能苛求制片方修改影片，但制片方至少应发表声明，承认影片错误或失误，向观众致歉，以平息各地网友骂战。According to the society, due to these "factual errors", netizens from Luoyang and Xi'an have engaged in an online war of words, which the producers have turned a blind eye to. The society said it has hired a legal firm to send a lawyer's letter to the director and the production company, urging them to correct the mistakes and apologize.根据该学会的说法，近期因该影片情节与历史不符，网络上掀起了骂战，特别是洛阳与西安网友之间的骂战愈演愈烈，但该片制片方却对此不予置评，不予回应，放任不管。洛阳市隋唐史学会已委托律师事务所，向制片方、导演等发出律师函，要求其发表纠错、致歉声明。The society studies the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties . At that time, Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, while Luoyang was the "eastern capital". Both metropolises were highly prosperous and believed to be among the largest cities in the world at the time.洛阳市隋唐史学会是一家研究隋唐历史的学会。在当时，长安是唐朝的都城，洛阳是“陪都”，两个大都市都非常繁华，均为当时世界最大的城市。Xie Junwei, director of the movie, acknowledged that Li Bai and Du Fu's first meeting did take place in Luoyang, according to a report by media outlet Shanghai Observer. But he added that the movie only described a part of their lives, and they were not presented in full.据上观新闻报道，电影导演谢君伟承认，李白和杜甫的第一次见面确实是在洛阳。但他补充说，这部电影只描述了他们生活的一部分，并不是全貌。Hu Zhongxing, a retired professor from Fudan University's Department of Chinese Language and Literature, told Shanghai Observer that Li and Du's meeting was a major historical and cultural event, and changing the location of the event is "not proper". He suggested using one or two lines to maintain the overall plot while telling the audience where the meeting actually took place.复旦大学中文系退休教授胡中行在接受上观新闻采访时表示，李杜首次见面在历史和文化层面是一次重大事件，对地点进行改动的确欠妥。他建议，可以借助一两句台词，既不改变剧中设计，又能向观众传递二人首次相会是在洛阳的史实。A screenwriter surnamed Zhang told Shanghai Observer that the Chang'an depicted in the movie should be viewed as a more abstract reference instead of an accurate historical citation.一位张姓编剧对上观新闻表示，这部电影中“长安”更像是一个抽象化的指代，而不是一个准确的历史引用。"For historical scholars, such a detail should not be changed, but for movie creators, they think that it can be moderately altered," she said.她说：“影视作品应有其独立性，对于文史学者来说这个细节不能改变，但在电影创作来看可以适当改变。”Reporter: Liang ShuangIntern：Zang TianyiHistorical英 /hɪˈstɒrɪkl/美 /hɪˈstɔːrɪkl/adj. 历史的Producer英 /prəˈdjuːsə(r)/美 /prəˈduːsər/n.制片人Apologize英 /əˈpɒlədʒaɪz/美 /əˈpɑːlədʒaɪz/vt. & vi. 道歉

Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu continue our exploration into the poetry of the stars with Part 2 of our episode featuring poet/astronomer/cosmologist Dr. Yun Wang and poet/author Midge Goldberg, editor of “Outer Space: 100 Poems.” We pick up right where we left off in Part 1, with a discussion of standard candles and how Edwin Hubble used Cepheid Variable Stars to determine the distance to Andromeda – incorrectly, as Chuck explains. We then find out that Yun is working on not one, but two upcoming space telescopes: The Euclid Space Telescope launching in July 2023 and the Roman Space Telescope, a Hubble-class space telescope named after Nancy Grace Roman, NASA's first Chief of Astronomy, launching in 2027. As with Part 1, The LIUniverse couldn't possibly have two poets as guests on the show without a little poetry reading and analysis. Allen kicks it off by reading a Walt Whitman poem, “A Noiseless, Patient Spider.” Midge follows up with a reading excerpted from “My God, It's Full of Stars” by Tracy K. Smith, one of the first poems she chose to put into “Outer Space: 100 Poems.” Yun reads both the original Chinese version and then the translation of a poem by Su Dongpo, the Song Dynasty poet who is the third of the greatest poets in Chinese history, followed by an English translation. (The group discussed the other two, Du Fu and Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty era in China, in Part 1 – just another reason to go and listen if you haven't already, poetry fans!) Chuck reads from a poem by Salvatore Quasimodo, the Nobel prize-winning Italian poet, after which he reminds us all about Commander Data's unfortunate attempt at poetry about his cat Spot on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Allen begrudgingly reads the first couplet, and Midge describes what happens when AI writes a sonnet. Finally, Charles ends the episode with a reading and discussion of “When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer” from Walt Whitman's “Leaves of Grass,” which Yun explains she doesn't hate anymore, but still doesn't love. If you'd like to know more about Dr. Yun Wang and her many scientific and poetic publications, see her bio page at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech): https://web.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/wang/. To learn more about Midge Goldberg, visit her website: https://www.midgegoldberg.com/ or follow her on Twitter at @MidgeGoldberg. “Outer Space: 100 Poems” is published by Cambridge University Press: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/outer-space-100-poems/7D8D674BE0C7215CCC9FD0284044B819 We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

We often hear about the music of the spheres, but why not the poetry of the stars? In this episode Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome poet/astronomer/cosmologist Dr. Yun Wang and poet/author Midge Goldberg, editor of “Outer Space: 100 Poems” that includes Yun's poem, “Space Journal: Serendipity.” As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a possible candidate relativistic tidal disruption event. Put another way, in a galaxy far, far away, a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy is possibly shredding a star, creating a brightening flare of radio emission. Naturally, given our guests, Chuck and company reflect on the idea of a black hole as a metaphor. Moving on, Dr. Wang discusses her exploration of our universe and her eventual goal of modeling a billion galaxies in 3-D. She and Chuck briefly address whether universal expansion will continue forever, as some posit, and whether dark energy is truly a cosmological constant or not. Then it's poetry time! Midge recounts her journey to create “Outer Space: 100 Poems” and how she eventually connected with Yun, who not only contributed her own poem to the book but also translated a poem by Du Fu, who Chuck explains is one of the two greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty in China. The other is Li Bai, composer of “Night Thoughts,” the only poem Dr. Liu can recite by heart in Chinese, which he proceeds to do before also reciting the English translation he wrote. Midge talks about choosing poems from around the world, drawn from ancient cultures up to modern day poetry about landing on the moon, and describes some of their age-old, shared themes. For our student question, William asks, “How can poetry be used to communicate astronomy research?” Midge points to an eponymous poem about “Olber's Paradox” she included in the book which taught her about the paradox. You'll learn about the first scientifically reasonable answer to the paradox, which Midge points out, was written by none other than Edgar Allen Poe! Yun explains how she almost unintentionally mingles her science and her poetry in her writing, after which she reads her poem, “Space Journal: Serendipity.” To answer William's query, she dives into the actual science and astronomy research that is embodied in every word of her poem. Does Chuck find an opportunity to talk about the holodecks in Star Trek, Schrodinger's Cat, and other equally geeky subjects? You'll have to listen to find out.

We've been told too many times that the goal of motherhood is to be a superwoman—to juggle all the things, and to do it with a smile. But the more we expect ourselves to reach that impossibility, the more we set ourselves up for failure. So maybe instead of trying to be perfect in every area, we need to change our expectations. In today's throwback episode, Tiffany Dufu gives us a hall pass to drop a ball, or two, or three, in order to make us more productive and fulfilled.

How can we elevate women by connecting and engaging with each other and holding ourselves accountable to our intentions? How can companies who want to attract and retain top talent do the same? I had a great time talking with my guest today, Tiffany Dufu, about her mission to support and elevate women. Tiffany shares her personal story and the mantra her mother used to tell her every day that she hopes to whisper into other women's ears. We discuss The Cru's mission and business model - and how they help women and companies achieve success through support, connection, and accountability. We also talk about why connection is so important to achieving goals (what The Cru calls intentions) and why empathy ensures successful engagement.Tiffany shares how the pandemic has affected women's career goals and why employers and leaders need to understand this new reality and respond accordingly. And she shares 3 tips for connecting across diverse backgrounds that could transform the way your teams get work done. Key Takeaways:If you want something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before. Women in the middle (whatever middle means for you in your life) tend to be looking for meaning, advancement, and integration. Limiting choices for women also limits choices for men, which then also trickles down and affects the children in the home. The intention of “finding a new job” doesn't mean leaving an organization. Leaders and employers need to bet on their teams, especially their women, and make clear the opportunities that they have in the organization, within and without their teams.  "We are the most powerful change agents in our own journey." —  Tiffany Dufu  About Tiffany Dufu, Founder & CEO, The CruTiffany Dufu is founder and CEO of The Cru. Their algorithm matches circles of women who collaborate to meet their personal and professional goals. She's also the author of the bestselling book Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less.

“Spring Landscape”, a poem written over 1,000 years ago, remains one of China's most celebrated literary works. Composed by the 8th Century Tang dynasty poet Du Fu, it is still memorised by every schoolchild in the country. Why is the poem still so resonant today? The Economist's Beijing bureau chief, David Rennie, and senior China correspondent, Alice Su, consider whether the ambiguity of classical Chinese makes it ideal for poetry. Our deputy editor Edward Carr explores how close he can get to the poem in translation. Nicolas Chapuis, a former ambassador to China who is translating Du Fu's complete works into French, examines the meaning of one particular couplet of the poem. And Eileen Chengyin Chow of Duke University takes us outside China's poetry canon. Sign up to our weekly newsletter here.

How do you manage it all?  That's a question that Tiffany Dufu used to dismiss.  But after all of the balls came crashing down for her she shared her story of letting go in her memoir manifesto, Drop the Ball.  Now she spends every day committed to her life's work of advancing women & girls.  This conversation is a “fireside chat” recorded at a BCG Women at Gamma event 06/10/22. Tiffany Dufu is Founder & CEO of The Cru; a peer coaching platform for women looking to accelerate their professional and personal growth.  She was a launch team member at Levo, a technology company and one of the fastest growing millennial professional networks. In this conversation Tiffany shares the immense pressure she felt to manage it all and the importance of cultivating the ability to let go.  She shares her many insights on how to advance women & girls; through promoting more women into leadership positions, creating communities of support and advancing women who are “in the middle.”  For anyone who has ever felt fear of dropping the ball, Tiffany's story is sure to inspire you to let go.  Visit the website for Tiffany's company, https://thecru.com/ (The Cru) to access resources to support women in their career, networking, business, finances, self-care & more.  Join us every episode with hosts Andrea Gallego & Corin Lines from BCG to hear meaningful conversations with women in digital, technology and business.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss two of China's greatest poets, Li Bai and Du Fu, who wrote in the 8th century in the Tang Era. Li Bai (701-762AD) is known for personal poems, many of them about drinking wine, and for finding the enjoyment in life. Du Fu (712-770AD), a few years younger, is more of an everyman, writing in the upheaval of the An Lushan Rebellion (755-763AD). Together they have been a central part of Chinese culture for over a millennium, reflecting the balance between the individual and the public life, and one sign of their enduring appeal is that there is rarely agreement on which of them is the greater. The image above is intended to depict Du Fu.

Corey Byrnes' Fixing Landscape: A Techno-Poetic History of China's Three Gorges (Columbia University Press, 2019) is a work of considerable historical and disciplinary depth. Byrnes brings together the Tang dynasty poetry of Du Fu, Song travel writing about the same, late Qing cartographic ventures, texts written by Western travelers in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as contemporary Chinese film and landscape art (among many other sources) to analyze how the Three Gorges region has been written and rewritten. The books' title, and its critical intervention, turns on the dual meaning of “fixing.” A “fixed” landscape is both a (constructed) space of cultural coherence and a terrain continuously altered to hew to social, political, economic, and even moral demands. By investigating aesthetic forms that seek to represent and mold the Three Gorges, Byrnes investigates how “landscape ideas act materially in the production of space.” The text is rich with sustained close readings of visual and textual landscape aesthetics; such formal analysis is in turn deftly woven into elegant arguments that speak not only to Chinese studies, but disciplines such as media theory and the environmental humanities. I greatly enjoyed our conversation, and the chance to speak to Corey about a book whose first iteration as a graduate project I witnessed in the early days of my own doctorate, an editing process about which you will hear more in the following episode.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Anti-Corruption Market, published by lsusr on April 1, 2022 on LessWrong. General Secretary Lu called his most trusted advisor Zhou into his office. "Close the door," said the General Secretary. Zhou closed the door with quivering arms. "Don't worry. You're doing great. In fact, that's why I called you in today. I'm starting a new anti-corruption campaign," said the General Secretary. Zhou drew a sharp intake of breath. "What? No. This isn't political cover for disappearing my political rivals. I really do want to run an anti-corruption campaign," said the General Secretary. Zhou exhaled slowly. The color began to return to Zhou's face. "The problem is I can't trust my advisors. The corrupt ones lie to me. The honorable ones lie to me. Raw facts never make it up the chain of command. It's like everyone in the government is afraid of me," said the General Secretary. Zhou kept his face slack and his mouth shut. "That is why, effective immediately, I shall evaluate the performance of all sub-provincial ruling officials according to prediction markets. Can you make that happen?" said the General Secretary. Zhou nodded. Jining was a small town in Shandong with a population of only 1.5 million people. The most expensive nightclub in Jining was called K2. K2 was located on the fifty-first floor of the Xinyuan Hotel. Administrator Qian had the VIP room all to himself. Instead of sitting on the couches, he stood, gazing down from the window at the lights of Jining. He held a cocktail glass in his hand full of the finest rice wine laced with his favorite blend of imported drugs. It was nice to get away from all the selfish political egomaniacs and just get some alone time to think for himself. Administrator Qian was like a cloistered monk. He listened to the gentle thump thump of the muted music reverberating from the main dance floor. "What to do. What to do," said Administrator Qian to nobody in particular. "What to do about what?" said his assistant. "The rotten authorities in Beijing. They think a bunch of nerds on the darkweb somehow knows more about this Jining then I do living here and administrating it," said Administrator Qian. "You're talking about the Prediction Market Anti-Corruption Initiative," said his secretary. "Anti-corruption my ass. It's a witch hunt. I'm not corrupt. I'm not even rich. I can barely afford payments on my mortgages, my cars and my aircraft," said Administrator Qian. "You're a simple public servant. You just want to do your duty to the nation without outside interference," said his mistress. Administrator Qian nodded solemnly. He finished his glass. It was refilled. "The princes at the CCP who grew up on private space stations don't understand what it's like to be a 老百姓[1]," said Administrator Qian. "You're a man of the people," said his other mistress. "The occult magic of prediction markets will never compare to human judgment," said Administrator Qian. "I play prediction markets for fun," said one of his bodyguards, "If your goal is to move the price then you don't actually have to change real-world outcomes. I bet not many people care about the municipal futures of a small village like Jining. All you have to do is buy up lots of shares of a prediction right before the CCP evaluates your performance and you can make the price whatever you want it to be." "What he said," said Administrator Qian. "It shall be done. You are a genius, sir," said his executive assistant. Administrator Qian was a genius. It was nice to just get away from it all and think for a while. His work done for the day, Qian returned to the party. Dufu was addicted to gambling. "Hey boss, I was taking a look at the prediction markets and they're all out-of-whack," said Dufu. Mafia don Wang didn't even turn around, "So?" "The prediction markets predict we'll be performing...

Poems by Li Bai (701-762)Sent to Du Fu below Shaqiu CityWhat is it that I've come to now?High before me: Shaqiu city.Beside the city, ancient trees;The sunset joins the autumn sounds.The Lu wine cannot make me drunk,Despite Qi's songs, my feelings return.My thoughts of you are like the Wen's waters,Mightily sent on their southern journey.Sitting Alone on Jingting Shan HillA flock of birds is flying high in the distance,A lonely cloud drifts idly on its own.We gaze at each other, neither growing tired,There is only Jingting Shan.Staying the Night at a Mountain TempleThe high tower is a hundred feet tall,From here one's hand could pluck the stars.I do not dare to speak in a loud voice,I fear to disturb the people in heaven.
