Cái chính sách ngu dân đã đắc thắng một cách hoàn toàn.
Câu kết luận trần trụi của Vũ Trọng Phụng khẳng định nạn mù chữ không phải tai nạn lịch sử mà là thành quả có chủ đích của chính sách cai trị. Chính cái "thắng lợi" này về sau buộc nhà nước phải quay lại dùng vần điệu dân gian (như tờ Phong tình ca khúc trong Lục xì) để len lỏi vào đầu óc những người mà chính nó đã cố tình không dạy cho biết chữ.

cho nên Chính phủ đã đặc biệt ân thưởng cho hai ngài hai cái đệ ngũ đẳng Bắc đẩu bội tinh!
Huân chương Bắc Đẩu bội tinh (Légion d'honneur) — biểu tượng cao quý bậc nhất của nhà nước bảo hộ — được quan toàn quyền đem ban thưởng cho Xuân Tóc Đỏ và ông bầu Văn Minh vì công trạng duy nhất là đã thua nhà vô địch quần vợt nước Xiêm. Sự lệch pha giữa tầm vóc của tấm huân chương và sự tầm phào của "chiến công" thua trận là một cú trào phúng trực diện: bộ máy vinh danh của thực dân, khi soi vào một xã hội thuộc địa hình thức, tưởng thưởng cho bất cứ điều gì miễn là phục vụ được vở kịch văn minh giả tạo và thể diện quốc gia.

Có ai từ nhà khá giả mà sa sút đến cùng khốn không ư, tôi cho rằng ở trên con đường ấy đại khái có thể nhìn thấy bộ mặt thật của người đời.
Câu tổng kết này là chìa khóa của "đài quan sát" thứ tư: Lỗ Tấn không quan sát quốc dân tính từ đáy lên như Vũ Trọng Phụng, cũng không từ bên trong làng như Nam Cao hay Ngô Tất Tố, mà từ con đường đi xuống của một gia đình — vị trí khiến ông vừa thấy rõ vừa tự vấn, vì ông từng đứng ở cả hai phía của bộ mặt ấy.

Thì ra người mình thua kém đủ mọi đường. Mấy nghìn năm rồi mà đến cả bọn làm đĩ cũng vẫn không biết làm đĩ cho nên thân!
Câu phản ngữ mỉa mai đúng thương hiệu Vũ Trọng Phụng, thốt ra ngay sau khi trường học duy nhất dạy bằng thơ tiếng Việt cho đàn bà nghèo bản xứ hóa ra là "trường dạy làm đĩ cho hợp vệ sinh". Tầng mỉa nằm ở chỗ: chính sách ngu dân của thực dân đã tạo ra nạn mù chữ, rồi thực dân lại phải dùng thơ — di sản văn hóa mà chính sách ấy không xóa nổi — để vá lại hậu quả của mình.
-
Ê chệ! Ê chệ!
Tiếng la ó đồng loạt khi bài thơ vệ sinh đi đến đoạn hướng dẫn khám bệnh cụ thể — giới hạn của phép mượn văn hóa dân gian lộ ra ngay lập tức. Nhà nước thuộc địa lấy được cái vỏ (lục bát, cây đàn nguyệt, bóng trăng) nhưng không thể khiến cái ruột (nội dung y tế trần trụi) được tiếp nhận êm xuôi qua cùng kênh ấy: vần điệu là phương tiện của người dân, không phải của người dân bất kể nội dung gì rót vào.
-
Vì nỗi đa số bọn kỹ nữ là không biết một chữ nào cả nên nhà nước phải mượn đến Nàng Thơ để bọn ấy có thể học truyền khẩu mà thuộc lòng được
Câu này của bác sĩ Joyeux là chìa khóa của cả nghịch lý: chính quyền thuộc địa, khi cần dạy vệ sinh cho gái mại dâm mù chữ, không in tờ rơi văn xuôi mà phải "mượn" thể thơ — thứ duy nhất một đám người không biết một chữ nào vẫn có thể học và nhớ. Mù chữ và mù văn hóa ra là hai chuyện khác nhau: chữ viết có thể vắng, nhưng năng lực tiếp nhận và ghi nhớ bằng vần điệu thì không. Ngay cả bộ máy cai trị cũng phải quy hàng trước sự thật ấy.
-
nhân tình của các quý quan
Chi tiết này ở một chương khác của thiên phóng sự lộ ra cấu trúc quyền lực giấu sau định chế lục xì: gái lục xì có giấy, có nhà, có xe, làm nhân tình cho "các quý quan" — nhưng chỉ đàn bà bị khám bệnh và giam giữ, còn những người đàn ông mua dâm, kể cả quan chức, thì không ai đụng tới. Vệ sinh công cộng, trên danh nghĩa áp dụng cho cả hai giới, trên thực tế chỉ nhắm vào một giới.
-
Những con số ấy thừa cái hùng hồn để ta biết rằng chúng ta “tiến hóa” nhanh chóng lắm vậy ôi!
Chữ "tiến hóa" bị bỏ trong ngoặc kép là toàn bộ đòn châm biếm: đây là từ khóa của diễn ngôn khai hóa thuộc địa, được VTP mượn nguyên xi rồi gắn vào đúng chỗ nó phơi bày sự trớ trêu — cái "tiến hóa" duy nhất đo đếm được qua con số là tốc độ tăng trưởng của nạn mại dâm. Ông không cần bình luận thêm, chỉ cần đặt chữ này cạnh phép tính vừa làm.
-
Hà Nội, kể về đủ mọi phương diện, liệu có “to” bằng một phần mười của Paris không?
Câu hỏi tu từ được thiết kế sẵn câu trả lời "không" — không ai tin Hà Nội thuộc địa "to" bằng 1/10 kinh đô Paris. Nhưng chính cái khung so sánh bất cân xứng ấy là đòn bẩy: nếu Hà Nội nhỏ hơn Paris rất nhiều lần mà tỷ lệ mại dâm vẫn xấp xỉ, thì "thành tựu" đo được rõ nhất của công cuộc khai hóa hóa ra là mật độ bán dâm, chứ không phải điều gì khác.
-
Tại Paris, số gái mại dâm do Sở Cảnh sát xướng kỹ (Police des Moeurs)
VTP đối chiếu con số Hà Nội với chính kinh đô của mẫu quốc, dùng thước đo của người Pháp (cảnh sát Paris) để đo ngược vào xã hội Pháp. So sánh 1937 cho thấy Hà Nội chỉ bằng khoảng 1/16 dân số Paris nội thành, nhưng tỷ lệ mại dâm trên đầu người lại vượt Paris — nghịch lý mà chính VTP gài sẵn rồi im lặng để độc giả tự cộng.
-
Ấy đó là những điều xét nghiệm của bác sĩ Bodros về cái ung thư ấy, của cổ và kim, đông và tây...
Câu này lộ ra một điều dễ bị đọc lướt: toàn bộ bản lược sử mại dâm từ Ai Cập đến Trung cổ Pháp phía trên không phải lời của Vũ Trọng Phụng, mà là một khối trích dẫn dịch từ bác sĩ Bodros — dấu ngoặc kép đã mở từ trước đó rất xa. Vì vậy việc bản lược sử "quên" văn minh Đông Á không phải là lỗi tư duy của VTP, mà là giới hạn của cái thư mục Pháp mà ông đang dịch lại.
-
Ấy đó là lời bình phẩm của một người Pháp, mà lại một người Pháp thượng lưu, mà lại một viên quan đầu tỉnh
VTP điểm huyệt ngay sau khi trích lời Virgitti than thở về đức hạnh phụ nữ An Nam suy đồi: viên thị trưởng của chính thành phố vận hành nhà lục xì lại đi than về đạo đức của những người đàn bà mà bộ máy của ông ta quản lý. Câu "làm đĩ vì thích làm đĩ" đặt ở trang đầu đóng vai một lời giải thích sang trọng được trưng ra trước, để mấy trăm trang sự thực phía sau (cái đói, đồng lương con sen, chuyện cưỡng hiếp) lặng lẽ nghiền nát nó — chữ ký kết cấu quen thuộc của phóng sự Vũ Trọng Phụng.
-
cứ ba mươi lăm người lương thiện lại có một người thường nhật sinh sống bằng sự gieo rắc vi trùng hoa liễu
"Cái tính chơi" đem con số so với Paris để kết luận mỉa mai: Hà Nội "gần được một phần mười" Paris về mật độ mại dâm dù nhỏ hơn nhiều lần. Chữ "tiến hóa" (trong ngoặc kép ở câu ngay sau) là diễn ngôn khai hóa bị bẻ ngược — thành tựu đo được rõ nhất của công cuộc khai hóa hóa ra là mật độ mại dâm, không phải gì khác.
-
sự tuyên bố ấy chẳng danh giá gì - thì ông đã lấy con số ấy ở biên bản của một sở mà sự đó là khiến ta có thể tin được: Sở Liêm Phóng
Cú mỉa hai lưỡi: con số 5.000 đáng tin chính vì nó ra từ sở mật thám — cơ quan duy nhất của chế độ đếm không sót ai. Lời khen độ chính xác đồng thời là lời tố cáo bản chất của bộ máy cai trị: thứ được thống kê kỹ nhất về người đàn bà nghèo không phải là sức khỏe hay việc làm của họ, mà là hồ sơ truy bắt họ.
-
ít ra cũng có năm nghìn gái sống về nghề mại dâm
Lục xì không mở đầu bằng cảnh nhà lục xì mà bằng một trích dẫn: lời viên Đốc lý H. Virgitti trả lời phỏng vấn báo La Patrie Annamite — tờ báo tiếng Pháp thân chính quyền, viết cho độc giả thượng lưu. VTP nhấc nguyên khối lời nói "an toàn" ấy ra khỏi sân nhà của nó, đặt vào trang đầu thiên phóng sự tiếng Việt cho độc giả bản xứ. Trong khung mới này, từng chữ của viên quan cai trị tự trở thành bằng chứng chống lại chính ông ta — không cần bịa lời cho kẻ quyền thế, chỉ cần trích dẫn đúng chỗ.

If you’re going to read a Dan Brown novel, it’s very difficult to imagine having sustained conversations about Dan Brown novels over years. It’s quite easy to imagine doing that with Shakespeare. I do that. It’s just so rich.And so I think we should not shy away from saying that. There is a kind of depth in great art that demands our attention in a way that is absent in Dan Brown.

Opinion: This Is Who’s Really Driving the Decline in Interest in Liberal Arts Education by [[Jennifer Frey]] 2025-07-17 in New York Times
Frey argues that it's college administrators who are killing off the idea of a liberal arts education. In her experience, students are thrilled to be in these programs and participate in them.
Me: Some of the pressure, also indicated here, is from toxic capitalism which is pressuring students to be only career-focused in their educational journeys. This pressure leaves much less space for the humanities.

But neither Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth nor Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, could immediately say whether Iran still retained the ability to make a nuclear weapon. Mr. Hegseth repeated President Trump’s assertion from the previous night that the nuclear sites had been “obliterated.” General Caine did not.
Given their experience and records, General Dan Caine is the better source of potential truth here.

Zusammenfassender Bericht zu den Klimadaten zum Januar 2025, dem wärmsten Monat Januar seit Beginn von Temperaturaufzeichnungen. Die anhaltend hohen Temperaturen nach dem Beginn des La Niña-Einflusses schockieren Forschende. Es gibt dafür bisher keine Erklärungen. Der Klimawissenschaftler Bill McGuire spricht angesichts dieser Daten, den Überflutungen in Valencia und den Waldbränden bei Los Angeles davon, dass ein „allumfassender Klima-Zusammenbruch“ eingesetzt hat.

Denn wo jetzt, komm mal, der während der ersten Amtszeit Trumps Minister war, sieht den Unterschied in der Energiepolitik zwischen Trump und seinem Vorgänger als geringer an als es nach außen scheint. Wo jetzt zufolge wird es Trumpvereinbarum gehen, In den USA so viel Energie wie möglich zu produzieren. Es sei vor allem wichtig den wachsenden Energiebedarf zu befriedigen. Dafür werde Trump auch erneuerbare Energien weiterverdähen. https://www.repubblica.it/economia/2025/02/04/news/brouillette_energia_trump-423980508/

How to Spot Emerging Note Clusters Without Alphanumeric Note Numbering? by [[Ton Zijlstra]] in Interdependent Thoughts
I recall Bob Doto had a video at some point in which he used the local graph to show relationships to find bunches of notes for potentially writing pieces or articles as indicated in Tons' article.
One of the biggest issues with digital note taking tools is that they don't make it easy to see and identify chains of notes which might make for articles, chapters, or books.
Surely there must be some way to calculate neighborhoods of notes from a topological perspective? Perhaps if one imposed a measure on the space to create relative distances of notes?

This photo of the Louis Vieux Elm Tree was taken by Willard Balderson, Wamego, in 1986. The tree stood 90 feet high with a crown spread of 104 feet, and a trunk circumference of 317 inches. For several years the Louis Vieux Elm Tree held the title of U.S. Champion. The estimated age of the elm tree was 300 years and since 1986 succumbed to age, weather, and disease leaving only a stump. In 2011, even the stump, which the Pottawatomie County Historical Society attempted to save, protect and shelter, was burned down, leaving nothing but a pile of ashes.

Lucy Calkins Retreats on Phonics in Fight Over Reading Curriculum by Dana Goldstein
Not much talk of potentially splitting out methods for neurodivergent learners here. Teaching reading strategies may net out dramatically differently between neurotypical children and those with issues like dyslexia. Perceptual and processing issues may make some methods dramatically harder for some learners over others, and we still don't seem to have any respect for that.
This example is an interesting one of the sort of generational die out of old ideas and adoption of new ones as seen in Kuhn's scientific revolutions.

"An' a fly go a moon And can't find food for the starving tummies" criticism on how the wealth and resources used on space exploration - is something that humanity can't understand when those billions used for the scientific pursuit/understanding of the universe, can instead be used to feed and clothe the hungry, the impoverish - basically poverty and world hunger would cease. it's sort of like criticisng the fact that we have problems here on this planet that we all need to work together to solve as a species/planet, yet we're not prioritising those problems as our main repsonisbility, something we need to fix, instead the most intelligent bunch/resourceful are spending their energy/time/reousrces on solving the mysteries of the universe instead. it's commenting on the notion of the microcosm within the macrocosm. if we as a species, esp. the intelligent and resurceful of our lot focused on solving problems like poverty, world hunger, war, crime... solve problems that continue to stagnate our human evolution/progress/conciousness, we could put an end to hegelian dialectics of problem, reaction, solution... this repititive state of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. why do we keep looking outside/external when we have problems in the inside/internal, in our very hearts, minds and homes.. on our own planet Earth? if we solved the problems at home, problems that create the suffering and keep just a few individuals privelaged/intelligent/resourceful over the rest of humanity who is stagnated and moving backwards and keeping humanity in a continous cycle of karma, the wheel of samsara of the human condition... then doesn't that mean that everyone as a whole is enlightened intelligent, resourceful? no one gets left behind and everyone becomes empowered self-sufficient, self-independent, self-enlightened, self-responsible...imagine each and every person self empowered now imagine the entire race of humanity self-empowered... that's billions of buddhas/christs - intellectuals, academics and enlightened individuals working together as a strong force of unity for a common cause. if we can fix those small problems that continue to keep humanity going backwards towards self-destructi, those small problems which greatly impact upon the bigger picture and schemes of things, then we can truly progress towards real change and together explore the universe as a human species. no one gets left behind.
This is a valid criticism (sorry Elon Musk)... By helping the other individual you in the end help society and therefore yourself.
We should be focusing on present problems that are closer to us before moving on to more abstract problems that have less value at present.
The same goes for ourselves. Try not to fix your family or neighborhood before you have fixed yourself (keep in mind diminishing returns). As Dan Koe said: "Your purpose is solving the most pressing problem you have right now." (not verbatim).
Try not to learn how to learn before your sleep schedule is excellent, before you know how to be productive and have habits.
Learning enablers first, THEN learning.
Fix first yourself, then your household, then the city, then the country, then the continent, etc. This does not have to be taken literally, but use it as a wise guidance. It's a principle rather than a law.
