声东击西#247 混搭，碰撞，以及因此产生的那些影响后人的奇思妙想是谁在改变我们的世界？国家机构，大人物，还是一个又一个从主流文化的边缘冒出来的小社群？
六十年代的美国硅谷，一群一心想要逃避世俗嬉皮士找到了计算机这个「比迷幻药更能带来极致愉悦的东西」，他们结成社群，创造出第一台个人电脑，为计算机确定了开放、共享的框架，也由此为此后的世界提供了不竭的思考养料。与此同时，另一群人正在优胜美地的 Camp 4 营地里思考着什么样的攀岩工具能够减少对自然环境的破坏，而前不久宣布将公司 Patagonia 捐赠给地球的 Yvon Chouinard 便是其中一员。
令人好奇的是：从计算机、人工智能到全新的攀岩方式，为什么伟大的创新总是出现在一小群人的「随机碰撞」当中？社群的结成对于我们而言有何意义？一个能够承载创意的「容器」又会具有哪些特质？回到现实，一个能够迸发创意的社群似乎总是与商业化相悖，创新者又怎样弥合理想与现实之间的差距？

April 23 is the first day of Ramadan, observed by Muslims worldwide. Ramadan begins just as Christians finished their celebration of Easter, and Jews concluded the eight days marking Passover. But because of the coronavirus, these observations were without the familiar settings and rituals. What’s more, COVID-19 has stirred deep conversations about faith among believers, and among non-believers' questions about the search for meaning in a pandemic.
