在 The Blank Slate 中，全球顶尖的语言与心智专家之一 Steven Pinker 探讨了人性的概念及其道德、情感和政治层面的色彩。凭借特有的机智、明晰与洞察力，Pinker 指出，心智不存在先天特质这一信条——过去一个世纪里为众多知识分子所秉持的学说——否定了我们共同的人性与个体偏好，用令人感觉良好的口号取代了对社会问题的客观分析，并扭曲了我们对政治、暴力、育儿和艺术的理解。通过为这一领域注入冷静与理性

……的一部分。持有相反的想法是荒谬的。然而在本世纪，许多社会科学家不喜欢这些事实，并竭尽所能去推翻它们。如果你感兴趣，我强烈推荐史蒂芬·平克的《白板》。注意：我指的不是不同族群之间的基因差异，单纯指所有人之间的个体差异。
…part. To think otherwise is absurd. However, this century, many social scientists disliked these facts, and have done everything they could to disprove them. If you're interested, I highly recommend The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker Note: I'm not speaking of genetic differences across populations, just between all people.
戴蒙德的书似乎取代了《对人的不当度量》，成了“反驳”人与人之间存在基因差异的标准论战檄文。作为对冲，我推荐史蒂芬·平克的《白板》。老问题依然是还原论：总有一方会咬定，“这就是唯一的因果解释”。
Diamond's book seems to have replaced "The mismeasurement of man" as the go-to screed for "refuting" genetic differences between people. As a response, I would suggest "The Blank Slate" by Stephen Pinker. The trouble, as always, is reductionism: One side saying, "This is the one-and-only reason."
……密歇根大学心理学教授辩称，我们所认为的智力具有相当大的可塑性，与基因几乎毫无关系。”史蒂芬·平克在《白板》中极有说服力地反驳了这一点。大脑在某种程度上是可塑的，但基因仍然起着举足轻重的作用。最令人信服的证据之一，就是分开抚养的双胞胎在能力上的相似……
…professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, argues that what we think of as intelligence is quite malleable and owes little or nothing to genetics." Stephen Pinker argued very persuasively in The Blank Slate that this is not the case. Brains are malleable to some degree, but genetics are still very important. One of the more convincing pieces of evidence is the similarities in the abilities of twins raised…
……角度来看，如果没有差异反而奇了怪了。澄清一下，男女整体上的智力天赋是一样的，只是侧重的技能不同，而且男性的方差更大。平克的《白板》把这个论点阐述得很透彻：http://www.amazon.com/The-Blank-Slate-Modern-Denial/dp/15012...
…perspective, it would be really weird if there weren't. To be clear, men and women are equally mentally gifted as a whole, but focused on different skills, and with bigger variance in men. Pinker's "Blank Slate" lays out the case well: http://www.amazon.com/The-Blank-Slate-Modern-Denial/dp/15012...
