The legendary mathematical physicist Freeman Dyson (1923~2020) described himself as a frog, not a bird, as he enjoyed jumping from pool to pool, studying details deep in the mud. In his own words, he was “obsessed with the future.”
Freeman Dyson loved exploring new ideas and asking questions.
.In his youth, Dyson worked at the Institute at the same time as Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, but they didn’t impress him at all. Instead, he found his young colleagues most inspirational.

睡前讀A Life Beyond Boundaries: A Memoir by Benedict Anderson (1936~2015), 2016，有點欲罷不能(雖然是學思過程，有許多"當地人"的現場教育、友情，以及一流的師長同事......)。提醒眼力有限。雖然下單買中文本以備.....英文版有索引，很適合我喜歡跳讀的習慣，譬如說。讀書前設想要介紹兩位西方人研究印尼的高手，原來輩分有別；無意間聽到A. B.說，古希臘沒Power觀念...... 。

"群體史縮斂成一故事，特別重要。秉持此一精神，Benedict Anderson (1991)論到，”國家感”牽涉到建立在透過一遺忘，發明，和詮釋的審慎結合，對"建構的歷史之想像共同體"的了解。" James March (2010)

江戶徘人小林一茶寫過很有名的一首俳句：
痩せ蛙 负けるな 一茶ここにあり
翻譯成中文，大概是
瘦青蛙
别輸掉
還有我一茶！
此句有題記：「4月20日見蛙鬥」。所謂「蛙鬥」是指春夏之交，青蛙發情期，公蛙爭相與母蛙交配而激烈相鬥的情景。一茶出身貧困，向來「站在雞蛋那一邊」，因此替瘦青蛙加油，大聲說：「千萬別輸掉啊，還有我一茶當你後盾呢！」
這句子讓人看到了一茶的慈悲，民胞物與的心情。更底層裡，據說還隱藏著一名老父的期望與祝福。
也正是這一年（文化13年，1816），結婚滿兩年，年已54歲的一茶，好不容易終於有了第一個兒子，那是4月14日的事，一茶人在異地，取名「千太郎」，又瘦又小，大約就像那隻瘦青蛙吧。因此有種說法，那隻青蛙所投射的，不無千太郎成份：「瘦兒子啊，千萬別死去，還有老爸爸當你後盾啊！」
——儘管父親如此用力祝福，千太郎還是在5月11日溘然而逝。一茶一輩子結婚三次，有過三男一女，均早夭，最後留下一名遺腹女傳承血脈。
隨附這張青蛙圖片，出自與一茶同時代，特別愛畫青蛙的畫人松本奉時之手，現藏大英博物館。圖中青蛙又胖又圓潤，瞪著兩隻大眼，當然不是一茶此句裡的「瘦蛙」，反而更像他另一首俳句所說的了：
向我挑戰
比賽瞪眼──
一隻巨大的青蛙
