祖神来归式科学
费曼（Richard Feynman）
在中世纪，有各种类型的古怪观念，如象一块犀牛角会增强权力。后来找到一种方
法将各种观念进行分类 --- 行得通就弄明白它，行不通就取消它。尔后，这种方法
就逐步形成科学。而且它发展得很好，所以我们现在是处在科学的时代。然而使我

真正行得通 --- 或者很少行得通。
但是时至今日，我遇到不少人，他们总会和我说到飞碟（UFO），或者星相学，或者
某些神秘主义，扩大的知觉，新型意识，超感觉力，等等。我得到结论，这都不属
于科学世界。
许多人相信那些荒诞不经的事物，使得我决意研究他们为什么这样。我的好奇心促
使我去进行研究，而所涉及到的内容却使我陷入困境。居然有这么多糟粕，真使人
吃惊。首先我由研究神秘主义，神秘经验的各种思想入手。我进到隔离的试验槽，
并有过许多小时的幻觉经历，所以我知道关于神秘主义的某些东西。我还去过埃萨

现在日本想推翻波兹坦公告，那就回到二战状态，继续执行波兹坦公告的威慑，继续丢

发帖数: 25262 | 36 别让爱成为孩子的负担
戴维·布鲁克斯
如今的育儿有两大关键特征。第一，现在的孩子得到空前多的夸赞。桃乐丝·帕克(
Dorothy Parker)曾经开玩笑说，美国的孩子不是抚养大的，是激励大的。他们得到了
饮食、庇护与喝彩。这话在今天更是无比正确。人们不断对孩子说他们如何如何特别。
第二个关键特征是孩子受到了前所未有的锻造磨砺。在精英体制下，竞争空前激烈。父
母比以往更担心孩子能否进入优秀大学，踏上职场坦途。比起以前几代人，现在的父母
会花更多的时间对孩子的技能和履历进行投入，开车送他们去训练和排练。
这两大倾向——更多的夸赞和更多的磨砺——是紧密结合的。孩子沉溺在爱中，但那爱
是有指向的。父母向孩子倾注无限的感情，但那是精英至上的感情。其中掺杂着帮助孩
子取得世俗成功的欲望。
而这时常会表现为操纵欲。父母无意中用他们的微笑和皱眉作了向导，让孩子往他们认
为可以通往成功的行为发展。孩子努力学习、训练、得第一名、进入名牌大学，会让父
母心中充满欣喜。
这样的爱是基于价值判断的。它不是单纯的“我爱你”。它是“我爱那个在我的平衡木
上不掉下来的你。只要你在上面，我会给你无尽的赞扬和体贴”。
