「等羞耻根深蒂固并改变了大脑之后,最轻微的一句话也能激发毁灭性的防卫战。对大多数人来说,在或称上被挤了一下,于争执中损失一点小钱,被经过的路人嘲笑一句,或是被别的四季超车并比了一个粗鲁的手势,不过是一点小烦恼而已……你会迅速恢复到正常状态。但一个过久沉浸在羞耻中的人则没有处理耻辱的缓冲区。最细微的一个表情、音调或手势也能被理解为人身攻击,并需要以饿虎扑食般的手段解决。」

你在百度网盘上的文件,根本不属于你,因为百度可以单方面认定某些文件「不合适」存在并单方面禁止你从自己的网盘空间下载该文件。
如果这个关系换成银行的话,你可以想象么?
女性的境遇之复杂,那些作者们可能自己都没有意识到,他们自己写下了很多无意识中认同或反抗的东西,尤其是对难以察觉的、内化于身体的权力结构的书写,真就如周琰所说,亚文化是主流的镜面。

The Future of the American Idea
November 2007
Atlantic Monthly
by David Foster Wallace

Are some things still worth dying for? Is the American idea* one such thing? Are you up for a thought experiment? What if we chose to regard the 2,973 innocents killed in the atrocities of 9/11 not as victims but as democratic martyrs, “sacrifices on the altar of freedom”?* In other words, what if we decided that a certain baseline vulnerability to terrorism is part of the price of the American idea? And, thus, that ours is a generation of Americans called to make great sacrifices in order to preserve our democratic way of life—sacrifices not just of our soldiers and money but of our personal safety and comfort?

In still other words, what if we chose to accept the fact that every few years, despite all reasonable precautions, some hundreds or thousands of us may die in the sort of ghastly terrorist attack that a democratic republic cannot 100-percent protect itself from without subverting the very principles that make it worth protecting?

Is this thought experiment monstrous? Would it be monstrous to refer to the 40,000-plus domestic highway deaths we accept each year because the mobility and autonomy of the car are evidently worth that high price? Is monstrousness why no serious public figure now will speak of the delusory trade-off of liberty for safety that Ben Franklin warned about more than 200 years ago? What exactly has changed between Franklin’s time and ours? Why now can we not have a serious national conversation about sacrifice, the inevitability of sacrifice—either of (a) some portion of safety or (b) some portion of the rights and protections that make the American idea so incalculably precious?

In the absence of such a conversation, can we trust our elected leaders to value and protect the American idea as they act to secure the homeland? What are the effects on the American idea of Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib, Patriot Acts I and II, warrantless surveillance, Executive Order 13233, corporate contractors performing military functions, the Military Commissions Act, NSPD 51, etc., etc.? Assume for a moment that some of these measures really have helped make our persons and property safer—are they worth it? Where and when was the public debate on whether they’re worth it? Was there no such debate because we’re not capable of having or demanding one? Why not? Have we actually become so selfish and scared that we don’t even want to consider whether some things trump safety? What kind of future does that augur?

FOOTNOTES:
1. Given the strict Gramm-Rudmanewque space limit here, let’s just please all agree that we generally know what this term connotes—an open society, consent of the governed, enumerated powers, Federalist 10, pluralism, due process, transparency … the whole democratic roil.

2. (This phrase is Lincoln’s, more or less)
