关键要点
- Wokeness 在结构上是一种宗教:只是把上帝换成了受保护群体,有正统、有异端、有赎罪。
- 真正的问题不是社会正义,而是对社会正义的装腔作势——表演性本身。
- 衡量社会健康的指标:不能说的真话的数量不应该增加;如果增加了,说明出问题了。
- 好消息:第二波正在退潮,喜剧人的消毒作用再次生效,公开反对的声音越来越多。
- 多元主义的出路不是新的正统,而是容忍异见:让不同的宗教并存。

PG 原话
Wokeness 实质上是一种宗教,只是把上帝换成了受保护群体。
Wokeness is effectively a religion, just with God replaced by protected classes.
问题是人们对社会正义装腔作势。而这才是真正的问题——表演性,而不是社会正义。
its people being prigs about social justice. And thats the real problem — the performativeness, not the social justice.
不能说的真话的数量不应该增加。如果增加了,说明出问题了。
The number of true things we cant say should not increase. If it does, something is wrong.

Reading and experience train your model of the world. And even if you forget the experience or what you read, its effect on your model of the world persists.
Your mind is like a compiled program youve lost the source of. It works, but you dont know why.

身份政治:别让观点住进你的自我
宗教和政治争论无果的共同原因是它们成了身份的一部分;凡是住进身份的东西都无法被清晰思考,最好的策略是少让东西住进来。
I think what religion and politics have in common is that they become part of peoples identity, and people can never have a fruitful argument about something thats part of their identity.
If people cant think clearly about anything that has become part of their identity, then all other things being equal, the best plan is to let as few things into your identity as possible.

我们对孩子撒的谎上:每个孩子都在虚假世界长大
每个孩子都在大人合谋的虚假世界里长大:圣诞老人、绝对公平、努力就有回报——谎言是成长的脚手架,但长大后要一张张拆掉。
Im not saying we should stop, but I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.
Every kid grows up in a fake world.

说不出口的话(二):为什么要想,以及“紧闭心扉、面带微笑”
翻禁忌有三个理由:好奇、怕犯错、锻炼大脑;但策略是心里什么都敢想,嘴上挑着说。
To do good work you need a brain that can go anywhere. And you especially need a brain thats in the habit of going where its not supposed to.
The most important thing is to be able to think what you want, not to say what you want.
