BEEF S01E04 20:20，Paul Cho：You know how in video games, like, when other people die, the game keeps going, but then when you die, it's game over? I think life's like that.
你知道，在电子游戏里，当其他人死了，游戏会继续；但当你死了，游戏就结束了吗？我认为人生就是这样。

叔本华在《作为意志和表象的世界》开篇就说：世界是我的表象。

人生就是这样的表象。

BEEF S01E05 04:36，Michael：Did you ever hear of the Harvard crow study? They put this dude in a Dick Cheney mask and he was mean to these crows, and the crows talked to other crows. All over the country, no matter where Cheney was, crows would attack his ass.
你听说过哈佛大学的那个乌鸦研究吗？他们让一个人戴着迪克切尼的面具，对乌鸦做坏事，乌鸦会告诉其他乌鸦。无论全国何处，只要切尼出现，乌鸦就会袭击他。
乌鸦是他的表象。

1995年，44岁的麦克阿瑟 惠勒McArthur Wheeler，在脸上涂柠檬汁后，抢劫了2家银行。被捕后，他很惊讶。因为他相信柠檬汁涂脸可以使他在监视器下隐身，警察根本不可能知道是他干的。
这促成了 邓宁克鲁格效应 Dunning-Kruger effect 的研究。
​柠檬汁是他的表象。

I have lost my mind doning this game like Vincent Van Gogh.He decided this life to his art and lost his mind in the process.That is happen to me.When the gold belt is around my waist.When my mother has a big masion .My girlfriend has different car for everyday of the week.My kids has every thing they ever want.That it will pay.

秋凉的薄暮，小菜场上收了摊子，满地的鱼腥和青白色的芦粟的皮与渣。一个小孩骑了自行车冲过来，卖弄本领，大叫一声，放松了扶手，摇摆着，轻倩地掠过。在这一刹那，满街的人都充满了不可理喻的景仰之心。人生最可爱的当儿便在那一撒手罢？

An autumnal chill as dusk approaches and vendors at a vegetable market prepare to pack up and go home. Fish scraps and pale green husks of sweet corn litter the ground. A child on a bicycle dashes down the street just to show off. He lets out a shout, lets go of the handlebars, and effortlessly shoots past, swaying atop the seat. And in that split second, everyone in the street watches him pass, transfixed by an indefinable admiration. Might it be that in this life that moment of letting go is the very loveliest?
