DDJ 68. 善为士者, 不争之德

第六十八章
[原文]

善为士者①，不武；善战者，不怒；善胜敌者，不与②；善用人者，为之下。是谓不争之德，是谓用人之力，是谓配天古之极③。

[译文]

善于带兵打仗的将帅，不逞其勇武；善于打仗的人，不轻易激怒；善于胜敌的人，不与敌人正面冲突；善于用人的人，对人表示谦下。这叫做不与人争的品德，这叫做运用别人的能力，这叫做符合自然的道理。

关尹喜者，问题好宝宝也； 其本职工作的很大一部分是军事，不问不行。  老子，又名“大数据包回答”，东拉西扯，无问不答。  兵家看道德经，也可以看出一本兵书出来。 商家看道德经，也可以看出一本商书出来。  搞科学的搞艺术的，更不用说了。

假设有本书确实包含了宇宙真谛。 我想道德经即使不是这本书，也应该比较接近吧。

史记, American History, 宪法都给道德经更多flesh, experiential richness。庄子比较玄幻，超越我有限的理解力。儒家小衣服小帽子适合小学生，可爱是真的。 大人跟面红耳赤的小学生争排名掉份也是真的，所谓“不争之德”。 不过世界很大，山外有山，人外有人，不一定都有好心情陪小学生过“君子”家家。 小学生建立的天朝上国，总徘徊不前，洗脑言控，时不时土崩瓦解流血千里，甚至直接亡国近千年；小学生见识有限，两千年还是小学生，就有点留级生的酸味了。  又扯远了。


US Constitution. AMENDMENT III.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

The British practice of quartering soldiers in America grew out of the lack of regular army bases, unclear legislative authority for British army quartering in America, and the need to move large bodies of troops about the country during conflicts with the French and Indians. Although there were numerous conflicts over quartering in both Britain and America before the 1770s, the most significant episodes concerned the British quartering of soldiers in private homes to punish the people of Boston under the Intolerable Acts of 1774.

Because of its clear text, there have been few court opinions discussing the Third Amendment. The quartering problem has largely been solved today by paying communities to host military bases. When the Supreme Court has cited the Third Amendment, it has been as part of nonoriginalist interpretations that list it as one of the sources of "penumbras, formed by emanations" that create a zone of privacy in no specific clause of the Constitution. For example, the Court cited it in the name of marital privacy as support for constitutional restrictions on state governments' abilities to regulate the sale of contraceptives in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965).

容我也来东拉西扯一番。

The 3rd Amendment, stripped of its obvious military context, reminds me of Airbnb.   In this podcast, Airbnb taking a lesson from orthogonal industries. However that is not the whole story. https://art19.com/shows/masters-of-scale/episodes/2d08f85a-baf3-48b4-8815-16fa295037e6
The whole story of Airbnb should contain
1. a series of battles with city regulations.  Lots of lawyers.
