在《Beyond Civilization》中,Daniel Quinn思考了常人不敢想象之事。我们都知道造自行车没有唯一的正确方式,设计汽车没有唯一的正确方式,做一双鞋也没有唯一的正确方式,但我们却坚信生活必定只有一种正确方式——而无论现状如何,我们现有的这种就是唯一的解。《Beyond Civilization》为Daniel Quinn的畅销小说《Ishmael》中的愿景赋予了现实实践意义。通过审视玛雅和奥尔梅克等古代文明,以及如马戏团社群等现代另类生活的微观缩影,Quinn指引我们踏上寻找新范式的探索之旅。

  • ……方式。当你成长于一种非此即彼的文化中,而这就是你所知道的一切时,你很少会去选择,因为脑子里根本就不会浮现出这个问题。我建议读读丹尼尔·奎恩(Daniel Quinn)的《超越文明》(Beyond Civilization)。

    …way. When you're brought up in a culture that is already one way or the other, and that is all you know, you rarely choose because it's not even a question that enters your mind. I'd suggest reading Beyond Civilization by Daniel Quinn.

  • * 丹尼尔·奎恩(Daniel Quinn)-《超越文明》(Beyond Civilization)(一本通俗易懂的书,讲的是当今社会到底出了什么毛病、为什么、以及如何补救。不带政治色彩,而是关于你自己能做些什么。这对我来说真是一大顿悟)* 贾雷德·戴蒙德(Jared Diamond)-《崩溃:社会如何……

    * Daniel Quinn - Beyond Civilization (an easy read about what's wrong with today's society, why, and how to fix it. Not political, rather what you can do yourself. It was a real eye-opener to me) * Jared Diamond - Collapse: How Societies…

  • 这让我想起了丹尼尔·奎恩(Daniel Quinn)的《超越文明》(Beyond Civilization)。归根结底,我们大多数人只是想加入马戏团。我们想成为某件特别事情的一部分,在那里每个人都朝着共同的目标努力。我们加入马戏团,是为了成为某事物的一部分,……

    Reminds me of "Beyond Civilization" by Daniel Quinn. In the end, most of us just want to join the circus. We want to be a part of something special, where everyone is working towards a common goal. We join the circus to be a part of something,…

  • ……埃里克·弗兰克·罗素(Eric Frank Russell)1962 年的科幻小说《大爆炸》(The Great Explosion),书中的人们信奉格言“自由在于可以说‘我不干’”。人类历史上一直如此,正如丹尼尔·奎恩(Daniel Quinn)在《超越文明:人类的下一次伟大冒险》(Beyond Civilization: Humanity's Next Great Adventure)中所解释的那样,他展示了中央集权统治如何在人类历史上多次崩溃,每当其中出现任何问题(通常来自外部压力,如干旱或……

    …the 1962 sci-fi novel the The Great Explosion" by Eric Frank Russell who live by the adage "Freedom can say "I won't"". The same has been true throughout human history as explained in Daniel Quinn's "Beyond Civilization: Humanity's Next Great Adventure" where he shows how centralized governance has collapsed many times in human history as whatever problems emerged in it (often from external pressures like droughts or…

  • ……靠土地自给自足。几千年来人们一直都是这么做的,一个又一个文明逐渐退化并走向崩溃(通常是在环境压力或社会腐败之下)。参考丹尼尔·奎恩(Daniel Quinn)关于《超越文明》(Beyond Civilization)的著述,或者维基百科上关于社会崩溃的词条。在我们这个紧密相连的世界里,现在有了核武器和人造瘟疫。我们还有了基于移动互联网的全面监控(比《1984》还要糟糕……

    …and live off the land. And people have done so for millennia as civilization after civilization has atrophied and collapsed (often under environmental stress or social corruption). See Daniel Quinn's "Beyond Civilization" writings for example or Wikipedia on societal collapse. In our interconnected world we now have nukes and engineered plagues. We also have total internet-based mobile surveillance (worse than "1984"…
