What is real?
Take for example the first successful theory of gravity, Ptolemy's system of
epicycles. It was used before Newton to describe the motion of the planets,
by assuming that the earth was static in the center of the world and the
planets and the sun revolved around it. It gave relatively accurate results
for astronomical observations. Was it real? I guess not. It just helped the
calculations, correctly, to be carried out.
Then Newton's th... 阅读全帖 |

答案是：有可能。20世纪50年代到60年代，心理学研究者组织了大量的实验，研究迷幻药和创造力之间的关系。但是由于这些实验的指导方法不尽相同，研究者并没有得出统一的结论。总体来说，研究者认为那些自身就有一定创造能力的人在食用迷幻药后，创造力是会有一定程度的增加。不管实验采用什么方法，嗑药确实让人更有创造力，但在那些非艺术领域的受试者身上嗑药似乎对创造力提升没有效果。
加州大学欧文分校的 Oscar Janiger 主持了一个著名的实验，研究迷幻药对艺术表现的影响。在20世纪50年代末的这个实验中，他邀请了大约100个艺术家、作家以及音乐家画两幅霍皮玩偶的画，一副是在嗑药之前，一副在嗑药之后。一名艺术史学家鉴定这两幅画，专家鉴定后认为嗑药以后绘制的画“更加抽象、有象征意义、色彩更加明亮、更富有感情色彩并且富有创新精神，更加标新立异，而且大都把画布上所有可用的空间全部使用掉。”

据香港媒体报道，邓紫棋(G.E.M.)自去年初参加歌唱比赛《我是歌手2》后，在内地极速爆红，可是树大招风，随之而来的是一连串的负面新闻，有指她性格嚣张、恃宠生骄，其中去年底在乐坛颁奖礼庆功宴迟大到后，今年初又在举行个唱时耍大牌，拒绝接受香港文字传媒采访，加上经纪人张丹开腔怒轰港媒，令双方关系一度接近决裂。
年中突然“转性”
但娱乐圈没有永远的敌人，G.E.M.在年中突然“转性”向港媒伸出友谊之手修补关系，五月更主动邀请某媒体并接受专访，坦言与整队公司团队需要检讨，力挽与传媒的关系。之后果然兑现承诺玩亲民，其中在纽约时装周虽然失声，仍愿意以纸笔接受访问，令关系一度破镜重圆。

朝鲜战争中有中美战史上光荣的一页，那就是长津湖战役。当时，美军分东西两线向中
国边境挺进。其中东线为由ALMOND将军指挥的第十集团军(X CORPS)。其攻击目标是中
朝边境的长津湖区域。该地又称长津水库，是一个将长津江截流形成的人工湖泊，上有
水电站若干。 美军前锋已到鸭绿江边，对着对岸，向江中小便（注一）。
X CORPS司令ALMOND给其师长们的指令是：“Don't let a bunch of Chinese
laundrymen stop you." 在美国排华法案下，美国华人从事的主要职业就是开洗衣店。
而且开洗衣店还被美国当地政府制定歧视性条款加以限制。旧金山市政条例就规定，洗
衣店不能开在木头房子里，结果有华人不服，继续在木房子里开洗衣店，被逮捕入狱。

作者：黄树东 更新时间：2012-1-25
西方民主是权贵资本主义
现在许多人在批评权贵资本主义。其实，按照奠定了西方政治发展基础的孟德斯鸠
的逻辑，西式民主从一开始就是权贵资本主义。孟德斯鸠认为，真正的民主必须建立在
财富相对平等的基础上。
少年时读过孟德斯鸠《论法的精神》，不得要领。最近重读，发现其中不乏许多灼
见。他在该书中指出，平等是民主的基本精神。他说：“热爱民主就是热爱平等”，“
热爱民主政治就是热爱简朴”。同有些人只关注权利平等不一样，孟德斯鸠在这里谈论
的平等主要是事实上的平等。他在《论法的精神》第五章中，列举了欧洲历史上的所谓
共和政体限制财富集中的例子，包括平分土地(如古罗马)、限制遗产继承、限制财产的
转赠等。他间接地指出，限制私有财产的集中是实现平等的手段，进而是实现民主的手
段。他认识到，在私有制下要实现事实上的公平是一种空想。所以他变通地说道，尽管
在民主政治之下，真正的平等是国家灵魂所在，然而，要建立真正的平等并非易事。因
此，绝对的平等不一定总是合适的。
某种程度上，财富上的平等是民主... 阅读全帖 |
