If you’ve ever been on a jury, you might have noticed that a funny thing happens the minute you get behind closed doors. Everybody starts talking about themselves. They say what they would have done if they had been the plaintiff or the defendant. Being on a jury reminds me why I can’t tolerate talk radio. We Americans seem to have lost the ability to talk about anything but our own experiences. We can’t seem to generalize without stereotyping or to consider evidence that goes against our own experience.
I heard a doctor on a radio show talking about a study that found that exercise reduces the incidence of Alzheimer’s. And caller after caller couldn’t wait to make essentially the opposite point: "Well, my grandmother never exercised and she lived to 95. " We are in an age summed up by the saying: "I experience, therefore I’m right. " Historically, the hallmarks of an uneducated person were the lack of ability to think critically, to use deductive reasoning, to distinguish the personal from the universal. Now that seems an apt description of many Americans.
选项
答案
人脑仅占人体重量的2%左右,但会消耗人体20%的氧气(供应)和高达20%至30%的体能。如果你参加过陪审团,你可能注意到,一旦关起门来,逗趣的事情就发生了。每个人都开始谈论自己,说如果自己是原告或者被告就会怎样做了。当上陪审员让我想起我为什么受不了谈话类广播节目。我们美国人似乎丧失了谈论其他事情的能力,而只会讲自己的经验。我们似乎不能在总结归纳时抛开成见,不能考虑与自身经验相反的证据。 我曾在广播节目里听到一位医生谈论一项研究,说研究发现锻炼能降低患阿尔茨海默氏症的几率。一个接一个打电话进来的听众迫不及待地表达截然相反的观点:“嘿,我的祖母从来不锻炼身体,可她活到了95岁。”我们所处的时代,可以总结为一句话:“我体验,故我是正确的。”从历史上看,缺乏教养者的特征,乃是缺乏展开批判性思维、演绎推理、区分个体与全体的能力。如今,这似乎是对许多美国人的准确描述。
