开个thread专门分享#刘瑜 的书,前两天看了一个视频后我说刘瑜是真好,今天我要再说一遍,刘瑜是真好!最近在读《#可能性的艺术 》,太棒了,无论是知识体系还是视野,无论是说理的方式还是语言,水准都很高!昨天看豆瓣这本书上了TOP250,2022年出版的新书上榜其实很难,也说明了这本书的份量!
早上发这条的重点是想探讨如何避免#政治性抑郁 ,疫情三年很多人都说自己政治性抑郁了,其实我的悲观要早得多,最早可追溯到2009年。但随着阅读的增加,我也一直在理性反思,我们今天的境况真的如何?我们一定要为此而悲观抑郁吗?我的观点是无论外部境况如何,我们都不该悲观抑郁,因为我们只此一生!
还有一个重要的原因是如果我们用历史眼光看今天,其实中国发展的很不错,每当我坐高铁的时候都会感叹发展如此之快,尤其和近现代满目疮痍的状况比较。所以我很认同刘瑜说的,人们更习惯用理想而不是历史来衡量当下,于是便有了政治性抑郁。
我觉得理性关照政治和现实的方式是,既要纵向比较发现进步,同时也要横向对比发现差距。刘瑜也引用了斯蒂文·平克的《#人性中的善良天使》,人类社会的预期寿命在增加,婴儿死亡率在下降,战争和饥荒大副减少,受教育程度和闲暇大副增加。如果你觉得#政治性抑郁 ,我觉得应该从这个角度想想。
铁腕强人从来都是纸老虎,除了穆巴拉克、卡扎菲等伊斯兰世界的#独裁者 ,还有齐奥塞斯库 这样的共产主义独裁者,从来都是纸老虎,一戳就破!究其原因,他们深知自己的统治是不正义的,于是更加铁腕,寻求更长的任期,越如此越心虚,越心虚越铁腕!
