I love to hear people tell me how to use the vernacular "China is going to eat our lunch."
China is a great nation, and we should hope for the continued expansion. But ladies and gentlemen, their problems are immense, and they lack much of what we have. We have the best universities in the world. We have a legal system that is open and fair. We have the most agile venture capital system in the world. We lead the world in innovation and technology, all for a simple basic reason. Steve Jobs, speaking at Stanford, was asked by a young man "how can I be more like you, how can I become like you?" And Job famously answered:think different.
You CANNOT think different in a nation where you cannot breath free. You CANNOT think different in a nation where you aren't able to challenge orthodoxy, because change only comes from challenging orthodoxy.
think different, 翻译成中文,那就是另类思考。
而另类思考这玩意, 在西方国家你可能可以成为 乔布斯 那样的人物。而在中国, 呵呵, 纵观网络和现实世界, 你会发现在中国, 另类思考只能让你成为大众眼中的奇葩和极品。我们这个国家, 有很多鲜明有特色的名词是专门用来打压和否定一个人的。
