About "THE BEAUTIFUL ONES"
Perhaps there are many of you who are interested in biology or anthropology had heard of the "Universe 25" experiment.
The experiment was about a "rat utopia", providing an artificial heaven for rodents to survive - free from predators, sufficient food, accommodation and all sorts of recreations. Such creatures with social structures will result in a "behavioral sink" when the group grows into a certain threshold.
In the experiment, rats and mice experiencing behavioral sink are invasive, refusing social activities, going hypersexual and progressing further, asexual and completely isolated from the community. Some males ended up just ate, slept, and groomed, wrapped in narcissistic introspection, and ultimately death. These were called by scientists as "The Beautiful Ones".
As there are more of "The Beautiful Ones", a huge community would eventually collapse and become extinct.
I am certainly not an expert on this, but this experiment gave me immense insight. At least from what I could observe, there are many who could not adapt to the exponential growth of the community and information, resulting into a situation very similar to "behavioral sink". Being alive is increasingly lonely, but such cultural revolution is also so poignant that motivated me to construct such a contradictory emotion and world setting with sounds.
Being the first song released under the new alias "KIVΛMKII", creating pieces in such form is also the main focus of the project. I have always been into theology, philosophy and science and so, which interprets life and universe in different eras and different ways. Transcribing such beauty into pieces of work is the greatest motivation throughout my life as an artist. I have always hoped that through such creation, I could come across more resonating souls in this lonely world, as a proof of my existence.
To stop writing forever, I shall talk about how I transcribe concepts into sounds and music in other instances, or in a walkthrough video of the entire project if you are interested.
I have to thank my friend Wayson Hsu for mastering the track with me. This piece is not as "digital" as my previous works, and I attempted to use analog gears to render the master track, giving the dirty and saturated, granulated world in the finalize phase. With his help, the outcome was satisfying.
I created the entire video for this. I planned to make a music video with my new character image, rendering with better visual effects, but my eyes got swollen due to infection, and the whole plan was ruined right before the date I scheduled to release the video, so it resulted in this motion visual. There might be some flaws in the video and I would say it is below perfection, but I would consider it a pass given the production schedule I had.
I would also like to thank another friend Yu-Lin Tsao for providing me insights of using program codes in the music video. Unfortunately the code seems blurred in the rendered video (I am so thankful that viewers are decoding them, and I have already released the code).
I wish my new work could bring some further insight to you, and there will be new works in the same concept upcoming. I will be working together with you for the better 2021.

[英文寫作] 學科的第一個字母應該要大寫嗎 ? No.
常見到同學寫到學科時首字母都會大寫,例如 「I will take Math, Physics, and Literature next semester.」。實際上,是有規則可以參考的。
會犯這個錯誤的主要原因是舊版的英文教科書只會以課表的格式去呈現學科類的單字 ,而並沒有把規則解釋清楚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
要糾正錯誤,同學需要先釐清兩件事:
1. 課表中首字母會大寫是為了呈現課堂名稱 (例如 Physics 101, Composition 10),在此首字母的確應該要大寫。
Course names should be capitalized.
2. 但是規則卻是學科 (math, science, history) 應該要小寫!!!
A general school subject should not be capitalized unless it is a language (e.g., English, Chinese, etc.).
★★★★★★★★★★★★
偏偏在中小學的基礎教育課程有一些課堂的名稱 (course name->Math) 跟學科 (school subject->math) 是一樣的! 那要怎麼辦? 腦筋昏了吧?
為了避免初學者困惑大小寫的問題,之前的教科書編輯只要一致採用「課表首字母大寫」的呈現方式,學習者就不會看到小寫的學科。
沒有看到的問題當然就不存在了! 學生、老師、編輯大家都開心! 「哈哈哈哈!英文真簡單!」。
然而,結果就是這出於好意的呈現方式反而導致許多同學只要想到學科就一定要大寫,卻忽略了規則。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
以下是美國著名的字典 Merriam-Webster 針對這個常見問題的回應,提供給大家參考 :
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Question:
Do we capitalize school subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry? — Abdul, Saudi Arabia
Answer:
When you are talking about a school subject in a general way, you do not need to capitalize it unless it is the name of a language. For example, math and chemistry do not need to be capitalized, but French and Spanish do need to be capitalized.
When you are talking about the name of a specific class or course, such as Math 241 or Chemistry 100, always capitalize it. Capitalize course titles such as History of the French Revolution and Childhood Psychology.
The following example sentences show when to capitalize a school subject, and when not to.
• I'm taking algebra (學科要小寫) this semester.
• He had always hated biology and chemistry (學科要小寫).
• He decided to take two philosophy (學科要小寫) classes his senior year.
• She studied psychology (學科要小寫) in college.
• They had English (語言要大寫) together two years in a row.
• He is hoping to take French (語言要大寫) next year.
• She was really enjoying geometry (學科要小寫).
• She challenged herself by taking Physics 301 (課堂名稱要大寫).
• His first year in college he took Philosophy of Language, Math 101, and Educational Psychology (課堂名稱要大寫).

雖然感覺只是一件小事,但是我相信同學在自己一些正式的文章或申請文件會想要避免這些錯誤。
★★★★★★★★★★★★

We use capital letters when we talk about languages as school subjects – but other subjects don’t have a capital letter.
She’s got exams in English, French, history and geography this year.

--------------------------
Names of school subjects (math, algebra, geology, psychology) are not capitalized, with the exception of the names of languages (French, English). Names of courses are capitalized (Algebra 201, Math 001).
