我们钦佩的人的品质,如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和同情,是我们体系中失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质,如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私,却是成功的特质。
The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
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.
