Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
那些无法掌控主导他们生活的故事的人,无法重述、重新思考、解构、嘲笑并随着变化而改变它的人,真正是无力的,因为他们无法思考新的思想。
If facts, logic, and scientific procedures are all just arbitrarily "socially constructed" notions, then all that is left is consensus--more specifically peer consensus, the kind of consensus that matters to adolescents or to many among the intelligentsia.
I’m not afraid to be different, I’m afraid to be the same.
