Steven Pinker:
Remember your math: an anecdote is not a trend;
Remember your history: the fact that something is bad today doesn’t mean it was better in the past;
Remember your philosophy: one cannot reason that there’s no such thing as reason, or that something is true or good because God said it is;
And remember your psychology: much of what we know isn’t so, especially when our comrades know it too.
记住你学过的数学:偶然并非世界的必然;
记住你学过的历史:今天的不满,推导不出昨天的美满;
记住你学过的哲学:我们无法从理性的角度来否定理性,或者仅仅依靠上帝的标准来判断真善美;
记住你学过的心理学:我们对这个世界知之甚少,不要满足于像大多数人那样浮皮潦草。(直译是:很多事情我们以为自己了解,其实我们并不了解,尤其是当我们的伙伴也认为自己了解)
