That Used to be Us? That? Which Thing?

//读书笔记《That Used to be Us》

0、这名字就够辛酸的。

1、从头到尾充斥着“吾辈是被上帝选中的种族”的情趣调调。 

在某处读到幼儿成熟的心理发展历程分为以下四个阶段： 

　A. I'm not OK. You're OK. 

　B. I'm not OK. You're not OK. 

　C. I'm OK. You're not OK. 

　D. I'm OK. You're OK. 

这四种心理，只有最后一种是真正成熟的。而两位作者显然可爱地处于第三级，七五分熟。 

　　 

2、不停提到“the biggest challenge...”。 

引用：Japan threatened one American city, Detroit, and two American industries: cars and consumer electronics. China-and globalization more broadly-challenges every town in America and every town in America and every industry. China, India, Brazil, Israel, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, Chile, and Switzerland (and the list could go on and on) pose a huge challenge to America because of the integration of computing, telecommunications, the World Wide Web, and free markets. 

抱歉，被害妄想患者，誰说茅坑就非得你占着不可，嗯？若无死死霸着某个虚幻龙头交椅的无赖，何来威胁？Whoever wants to put this funny hey-everyone-look-at-me-I'm-the-boss clown hat on, go ahead and do it..

3、好歹作者之一还是教授。我低估了世界每一个角落的物种多样性。 

我还是有点地域偏见了。唯一算数的果然只有个体而已。
