上面的文章在普通读者之间引起了关于智力\教育\阶级与财富的讨论,与我之前所作的讨论很相关.
其中一个网友这样评论:甚至智力与有没有钱,也没关系,因为挣钱是由三个方面得到:继承\工资和经营.工资由供求关系决定,经营是由三种素质决定:个人魅力\决心和人事管理能力,这三者与智力有一定关系(但不能说智力高就一定会团结人有决心有魅力!!),但都不是决定因素:
Money is a) inherited, or b) paid via wages/fees, or c) created via trade or other wealth creation. The first requires nothing except wealthy ancestors. The second is decided by supply and demand and nothing else. The third usually requires charm, determination and man-management abilities. Rarely does intelligence per se play a factor. The misconception that bright->wealthy, and the worse one that wealthy->bright, always saddens me, though it has ceased to surprise me.
Richard then goes on to state that wealthier parents have cleverer children than poor ones, and that any deficiencies in the education of poor children are OK because they're less bright. The first statement may make him feel better but it is fiction. The second statement is a downright disgrace.
我们读书人总认为自己是智力高的人,有领导众生的能力,报酬和财富都应天然被优待.甚至普遍的期待是:靠工资分配来致富.在那些古老流承和变种的等级社会如欧洲里,人们是不会这样看的.留给你的唯一道路是:第三条,它也不全靠智力.
再说,如何衡量智力,这本身上个权力问题政治问题,谁能决定用什么标准决定谁是智力好的呢?我们读书人轻易就认定那种确定我们的那种智力是好的智力的秩序就是一种好的值得维护的政治秩序,你的因为是你的狗屁的知识秩序,就是神圣不可侵犯的了.
