幕

無知之幕的後面

藏著一顆全知水晶球
現實陷入了徹底的絕望

好戲正在登場

焦慮使ta黯淡無光

存在的本質看起來不在

   —— “無知之幕”借用哲學家約翰・羅爾斯(John Rawls)《正義論》(1971)提出的“Veil of Ignorance”思想實驗；但在這首詩裡，它也具有更廣泛的認識論意涵：人類被某種看不見的屏障隔絕於真相之外。

一切只是看起來而已。

    The Curtain

Behind the veil of ignorance

lies a crystal ball that knows all

reality falls into utter despair

The show is about to begin

anxiety dims ta's light

The essence of existence seems absent

   — The “veil of ignorance” draws on the thought experiment proposed by philosopher John Rawls in A Theory of Justice (1971). In this poem, however, it also carries a broader epistemological significance: humanity is separated from the truth by an invisible barrier.

Everything is only as it appears.
