>> 人们首先会相信他们愿意相信的东西。赫拉利（Harari）也不例外。那本书里除了大家本来就该知道的基本常识之外，错的地方比对的地方还多。克里斯托弗·莱恩（Christopher Ryan，《Civilized to Death》和《Sex at Dawn》的作者）深入探讨了《人类简史》（Sapiens）中为数不多有说服力的观点，而且没有《人类简史》里那种虚伪和幼稚的哲学论调。
>> people will believe whatever they want to first. Including Harari. There's more wrong in that book than there is right, aside from basic facts that people should already know. Chriatopher Ryan (Civilized to Death & Sex at Dawn) explores the few compelling points made by Sapiens in depth and without all of the disingenuity and naive philosphy present in Sapiens.
斯蒂芬·平克（Steven Pinker）的著作虚伪透顶，而且漏洞百出。我建议读读克里斯·莱恩的《Civilized to Death》，来治愈一下平克造成的智力内伤。
Steven Pinker's work is disingenuous and riddled with inaccuracies. I suggest reading Chris Ryan's Civilized to Death to correct the intellectual damage inflicted by Pinker.

我最近刚读完《Civilized to Death》[0]，忍不住觉得其中的一些观点确实有道理。让我印象特别深的一个观点是：那些垃圾动物园会把猴子关在水泥笼子里，猴子在里面痛苦不堪，表现出类似的迹象……
I've recently finished reading "Civilized to Death"[0] and I can't help feel there's some truth to some of the ideas. One idea that stuck with me is that shit zoos have concrete cages for the monkeys, and they're miserable in them, showing similar signs…
很难评估人类的灵魂到底更倾向于哪一种挑战，尤其是从我们目前的立场来看。但有一个很有意思的观点在《Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress》[0] 和《万物的黎明》（The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity）[1] 中都有提及：从来没有哪个“野蛮人”在非被迫的情况下主动想加入“先进”社会，然而反过来的情况却有大把……
It's hard to assess, especially from our position, which set of challenges the human soul prefers. But there's an interesting point to be made, touched in both "Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress"[0] as well as "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity"[1] that no 'savage' has been interested in non-coercively joining an 'advanced' society, whereas there are plenty…
在我最近读的两本书里（一本是关于埃尔南·科尔特斯的《Conquistador》，另一本是对比现代人与古人生活的《Civilized to Death》），作者都提到了人们过去常常从死者身上提取脂肪——不管是动物还是人。它被当成各种用途的油脂，……
In two books I've read recently (Conquistador about Hernan Cortes, and Civilized to Death which contrasts the lives of modern humans with ancient ones) the authors mention how fat was often poached from the dead -- animals and people alike. It was used like a grease for all sorts of things,…
