> 我们才刚刚开始理解其影响。在印刷机发明三十年后，最畅销的印刷书籍之一就是《女巫之槌》（Malleus Maleficarum），这是一本关于巫术的专著，引发了持续数个世纪的猎巫狂潮。虚假信息的侵蚀效应数百年来源远流长，而传播它的媒介……

我依稀记得《女巫之槌》（Malleus Maleficarum，即对付女巫的铁锤）里确实提到过猫，那个说法经常追溯到这里，不过值得注意的是，《女巫之槌》在写出后不久就被教会（具体来说是宗教裁判所）谴责了，……

……而分娩这项曾经的自然机能，变成了女性为她们的男性丈夫兼老板打工的活计——也就是说，生育变成了异化劳动。根据像《女巫之槌》（Malleus Maleficarum）这样的猎巫文献，“女巫”就是那些把分娩和怀孕掌控在女性手中的人：助产士、堕胎者、提供避孕草药的草药师。杀害她们是为了巩固父权，塑造顺从、持家的……

在印刷术发明的那一个世纪里，最畅销的印本书籍之一就是《女巫之槌》（Malleus Maleficarum），它让随后几个世纪焚烧女巫的做法系统化了。思想传播得更好，并不一定意味着思想本身更好。https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleus_Maleficarum

……坦白讲，我认为这是对历史事件的严重歪曲，这样使用概念完全抹杀了真实的历史。至于历史上猎巫行动的“系统性”，稍作深入研究就能发现《女巫之槌》（Malleus Maleficarum），这可是猎巫的教科书。我认为在整个大陆范围内推行统一的方法论——尤其是由至高无上的权威机构资助的——绝对算得上是系统性的。……
