我不喜欢正经的小说。在正经小说里，人们会说这样的话：“我的血管里流淌着铁、银和普通的泥土。我无法像那些不依赖刺激的人那样握紧拳头。”这是什么意思？我不知道。父亲也不知道。写这些书的人也不知道。
The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.
