འགྲུལ་བཞུད་དེ་སྐད་ཡིག་གཉིས་པ་ཞིག་ཏུ་བརྩིས་ནས།
… འདི་ནོར་འཁྲུལ་མ་རེད། འདི་ཚོད་ལྟ་ཞིག་རེད། གལ་ཏེ་ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་འདི་རང་ཉིད་ཀྱིས་སྐད་སྒྱུར་བྱེད་མི་ཐུབ་ན། ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་བསམ་བློ་གཏོང་དགོས། … 世界は言語でできており、私たちの探検ほどそれが顕著に表れる場所はありません。私たちは通常の旅で、約12の言語を話す人々の中で暮らし、旅をし、常に交流しています。乗組員全員が複数の言語を使いこなすのは当たり前のことですが、私たちは共に暮らす人々の言語を理解することが私たちの責任だと考えています。 ང་ཚོའི་སྐད་ཡིག་ཚང་མ་བཤད་དགོས་པ་དེ་མིན་པར། ཁྱེད་རང་གི་ནང་ནས་སྐད་ཡིག་དེ་ཨེ་ཤེ་ཡ་དབུས་མའི་སྐད་ཡིག་མིན་པར་ཁས་ལེན་བྱེད་དགོས་པ་དང་། དེ་དང་མཉམ་དུ་དངོས་ཡོད་ཀྱི་འགྱུར་བ་འབྱུང་གི་ཡོད། གལ་ཏེ་སྐད་ཡིག་དེ་ཚོ་གནས་ཚུལ་གྱི་བརྒྱུད་ལམ་ལྟར་བསམ་གྱི་ཡོད་ན། སྐད་ཡིག་མི་འདྲ་བ་དེས་ཉམས་མྱོང་ལ་འགྱུར་བ་གཏོང་གི་ཡོད། تاغقا يامىشىشنىڭ ئۆزى بۇنىڭ ئەڭ ياخشى مىسالى ، چۈنكى ئىنگلىز تىلى شىمالىي ياۋروپانىڭ تۈز دېڭىز قىرغىقىدىن كېلىدىغان تاغلارنىڭ سۆزلۈك ئامبىرىدا كەمبەغەل تىل بولغاچقا ، ئۇ فىرانسۇزچە ، ئىتالىيەچە ۋە گېرمانچە سۆزلەرنى ئىشلىتىپ ، تاغنىڭ ئالاھىدىلىكىنى بايان قىلىدۇ ، كۆپىنچە سۆزلىگۈچى ھەتتا ئىككى قېتىم…

READ. THE SMARTEST WAY TO MAKE EXPEDITIONS WORK
EXPEDITIONS ARE MENTAL. WE ALL KNOW IT IS THE MIND THAT TURNS BACK BEFORE THE BODY.

ONLY ROBOTS ARE PROGRAMMED WITH NUMBERS, TO MINIMIZE DEVIATION, TO FOLLOW CODING, TO DO WHAT THEY ARE INPUTTED TO, AND TO KEEP THEM AS UNTHINKING TOOLS IN A LARGER SYSTEM OF REPEATABILITY WITH A TINY MARGIN FOR CHANGE. THIS SOUNDS PARANOID AND THOUGH IT MAY NOT SEEM…
