SAE · The Second Enlightenment · Paper 6: No Longer Asking for Proof of Worth First / SAE 二次启蒙论 第六篇: 不再要求先证明它值

SAE · The Second Enlightenment · Paper 6. This record holds the Chinese final text (v1.0) and the English edition (v1.0). The English edition is an independent rewrite, not a translation. It sets out propositions W34–W39, numbered continuously across the series. Abstract (English) Paper 1 sets out the two moves of "is it worth it?": a scale, which weighs first and gives only afterward; and a reading, by which in the end everything is about interest. Paper 3 answered the second with "not reading minds"; this paper answers the first: no longer asking what has no equivalent for proof of its worth. It is a not-doing, not a prohibition, and things with a price can still be asked about as to whether they are worth it. It lands on three planes: toward oneself, toward others, toward the public. It has two boundaries: the explanations needed to coordinate actual effects go on as usual; whether something is worth it can still be asked, only it is not made a threshold. Brought down to a person, it can take the form of several practices, from within one's own mind all the way to saying it aloud; where to begin depends on each person's situation; saying it aloud is something one may do, not an assignment. The old tool of Paper 1, whose effect could not be put into numbers, is taken up again here. 摘要(中文) 第一篇写了“值不值”的两个动作:一杆秤,先称过了才给;一种读法,说到底都是为了利益。第三篇用“不读心”回答了后一个;这一篇回答前一个:不再对没有等价物的东西,要“值”的证明。它是一个不做,不是一条禁令,有价格的东西照样可以问值不值。它落在三个面上:对自己,对别人,对公共。它有两条边界:为协调实际影响要的说明照常;值不值照样可以问,只是不作门槛。落到一个人身上,它可以落成几种做法,从心里一直到说出口;从哪一处开始,随各人的处境;说出口是可以说,不是功课。第一篇那个说不出数的老工具,在这里收回。 Related identifiers Relation Identifier Resource References 10.5281/zenodo.22970758 Anti-Colonization (SAE Action Theory, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.24021385 A Way Out, a Way Forward (SAE Political Economy, Special Study) These 2 identifiers are the 2 DOIs in the reference lists of the two texts (works of this system); the two lists carry the same set.
