《零蚊交談》Free Chat
港台每星期都會在維園搞《城市論壇》討論民生政治。我們有樣學樣,在西洋菜街搞自己的「城市論壇」。没有漂亮的佈景,只有兩個紙皮箱加幾張櫈。没有大義澟然的話題,反正就是路人作主,喜歡談什麼就談什麼。
Basically a few boxes and a couple of chairs. So just pop in, take a seat and have a chat, on anything! We will send facebook messages around if we are holding a session. Join the group for updates! |

《思考實驗參加七一大遊行聲明》
我們思考實驗一直堅信,溝通是促進互相理解,達至合理共識的必要第一步。不論立場如何,都需要聆聽各種聲音,消化和理解意見,分析各方論據和建議,認清與面對疑問,再根據所吸收的信息和事實作出回應,討論才有意義,依此所作的決定和行動才具備份量和說服力。這共識在限制發言,徒具形式的回應,你一言我一語的陳述中,並不可能達得到。 六月十三、二十、及二十七日,我們都看到最荒謬的會議議案討論。議案關係到至少3.4億公帑的運用,雖名為討論,實際上會內卻限制議員只可發言一分鐘,提問和建議亦從沒得到其他議員或官員回應,大部份意見無法表達,這種討論連溝通都達不到,無論政治立場為何,這種不尊重不同立場的表決,非但沒有說服力或認受性,更突顯立法會不能容許多元聲音,破壞了討論議案及立法的精神。 思考實驗堅持政治中立,但我們不能認同這種虛假的「討論」,非但不能達到共識,反而加深分歧。 當議會失效,市民就得另謀方式表達意見。 當被噤聲,我們只有以腳步來作出抗議。 我們誠懇呼籲各位參加七一大遊行,爭取應有的討論空間。 - 2014年7月1日 |
《Statement for Joining the 1 July March》
Thought Experiment holds the following to be self-evident: Understanding is born from communication - the necessary requirement for genuine consensus. Communication must be substantiated by heeding the interlocutor's perspective, comprehending her stance and responding to her material arguments and/or facts before a genuine consensus could be reached. On 13th, 20th and 27th June, whilst deciding on the approval of a three hundred forty million budget, comments and questions from our Legislative Council's members were confined to 1 minute time frames and no response from other members or government officials were given. It is an understatement that such procedure is not conducive to communication and stands in stark contrast with the spirit of understanding. Regardless of political agenda, a lack of respect for the interlocutors' views is a sign of biased intolerance and any resulting decision holds no more persuasive force than a one-sided assertion. Such procedural impropriety exists as an insult to the rationale of deliberating motions and debating bills. Whilst Thought Experiment remains politically neutral, we do not condone blunt assertions masquerading as discussions. Such a facade promotes a lack of understanding and will only lead to a deepening of prejudices. If the voice of our legislative branch falls on deaf ears, those of the people will not be ignored. With our voices muted, let our footsteps echo. Join us on the 1st July march and let the discussion continue. - 1st July, 2014. |
