THE FINANCIAL PAGETHE MOBILITY MYTH

Since at least the days of Horatio Alger, a cornerstone of American thinking
has been the hope of social mobility—the idea that, as Lawrence Samuel put
it in a history of the American dream, anyone can, “through dedication and
with a can-do spirit, climb the ladder of success.” In recent years,

阿姆赫斯1763年7月16日给波奎特回信，批准他的计划，并提议“尝试任何其它有助于
根除这个该死的种族”的办法。
1763年5月24日，特仑特记载如下：
……我们给了他们两条天花医院的毛毯和手绢。我希望效果理想。
1495年，圣多明戈原住民人口的57%到80%被天花灭绝了。1515年，天花消灭了波多黎各
印地安人的三分之二。科尔特兹来到墨西哥之后十年，原住民人口从2500万减少到650
万，降低了74%。即便最保守的估计也认为天花造成的死亡超过65%。
根据各种渠道估计，欧洲人到来之前南北美洲土著居民人口约9千万到一亿。在16世纪
里，北美印地安人约1200万，而到20世纪时，人口数量已经减少到大约17万4千。如今
已无法计算出欧洲人带来的天花等致命疾病究竟杀死了多少万美洲印地安人。

conferences
By Andrew Gilligan
9:10PM BST 05 Jul 2014

presentation. “At least a sizeable minority of normal males would like to
have sex with children … Normal males are aroused by children.”
Some yellowing tract from the Seventies or early Eighties, era of abusive
celebrities and the infamous PIE, the Paedophil... 阅读全帖 |

细看了一下，感觉条款很合理。

What does procrastination tell us about ourselves?
by James Surowiecki October 11, 2010
Procrastination interests philosophers because of its underlying
irrationality.

the United States. The clothes belonged to his friend and colleague Joseph

that the Test was often given to visitors from the wine industry, but since

In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old,
which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice
would be to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died
young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My

the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over
eighty. Of... 阅读全帖 |
