Charlie

We know every objects name: this is a table, that is a car. But for the basic components — quanta, we don’t understand it, or no one can be sure we knows them.

Therefore, we don’t actually understand our world. But one thing for sure: for a pair of quantum, they can sense each others movement — if one of them is positive, we can sure the other one, even it’s on the Mars, is negative.

What’s that to do with Charlie Herbo? Well, it happened before. For the sarcasm of Muhammad, their magazine’s office got bombed. No matter how little percentage (o.000007% as they claimed) of the extremist in that religion, this pair of actions happens every once a while. I’m not judging, same consequences happen as in drunk driving and car accidents.

And this has something to do with modernity? Because Digital Modernity gives us that feeling!

The world is always like this, we just didn’t know. I have a friend who is from a beautiful countryside, grew up with no television, and doesn’t read newspaper. and most of the ’cause and result’ has no links in her head.

I was super sad about the huge lost of the great cartoonists. And talented artists from all over the world, they did their dedications:

Illustrators from all over the world

And again, that’s a no brainer. I mean, of course, famous people died, their colleges will offer their respects.

In so many ways, modernity makes people numb.
