Dark Age Ahead 是 Jane Jacobs 于2004年出版的著作，描述了她眼中“北美”五大核心“支柱”的衰退：社区与家庭、高等教育、科学技术、税收及政府对公民需求的回应，以及专业团体的行业自律。她指出，除非逆转这些趋势，否则这一衰败恐将引发一场黑暗时代。Jacobs 将黑暗时代描述为一种“集体失忆”，届时甚至连失去之物本身的记忆都会荡然无存。

简·雅各布斯（Jane Jacobs）就这个话题写过一篇极其精彩的文章，探讨了真正的教育与单纯发放文凭之间的区别。见《黑暗时代在眼前》（Dark Age Ahead），ISBN-10: 0679313109
Jane Jacobs has brilliant essay on this topic; the difference between educating and providing credentials. Dark Age Ahead, ISBN-10: 0679313109
我还想特别提一下简·雅各布斯（Jane Jacobs）的最后一本书《即将到来的黑暗时代》（Dark Age Ahead），以及托马斯·霍默-狄克逊（Thomas Homer-Dixon）的书《创造力鸿沟》（The Ingenuity Gap）。http://raisethehammer.org/blog/455/
I'd like to add honourary mentions for Jane Jacobs' last book, Dark Age Ahead and Thomas Homer-Dixon's book The Ingenuity Gap. http://raisethehammer.org/blog/455/
……很大程度上生活在网络空间里，那我们确实身处黄金时代，而《无人深空》（No Man's Sky，其实这游戏我挺喜欢的）和 VR 对全人类来说都是划时代的进步。但总的来说我是个悲观主义者，简·雅各布斯的书《黑暗时代在眼前》（大部分讲的是当年就已经很明显的趋势）给我留下了极其深刻的印象。
…lives largely in cyberspace, then we're in the golden age and No Man's Sky (a game I quite like, actually) and VR are epochal advances for all humanity. But overall, I'm a pessimist, Jane Jacobs book "Dark Age Ahead" (which is mostly about trends obvious back then) left a big impression on me.
确实：我刚读完简·雅各布斯的《黑暗时代在眼前》，看得人相当致郁。亚马逊链接：http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Age-Ahead-Jane-Jacobs/dp/14000623...
Indeed: I just read Dark Age Ahead by Jane Jacobs, and it's depressing. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Age-Ahead-Jane-Jacobs/dp/14000623...
作为更著名的城市规划远见者，简·雅各布斯后来开始深刻审视各种社会制度，包括教育和文凭认证机制的角色。她的著作《黑暗时代在眼前》（如你所料）勾勒了一幅黑暗的未来图景：http://www.powells.com/biblio/2-9781400062324-3 她在一篇题为《文凭认证与教育》（Credentialing vs. Education）的文章中也探讨了这一话题：http://www.vqronline.org/articles/2004/spring/jacobs-credent...
Jane Jacobs, more noted as an urban planning visionary, started taking a hard look at institutions, including education and the role of credentialing. Her book The Dark Age Ahead is (as you might suspect) a dark vision of the future: http://www.powells.com/biblio/2-9781400062324-3 She addressed the topic in an essay, "Credentialing vs. Education": http://www.vqronline.org/articles/2004/spring/jacobs-credent...
……那它就一定是科学。这可不是一般的错误，这是学术界数十年来助长的一种彻头彻尾的无能；其结果往往是对经验科学极其荒谬的反动。（参见简·雅各布斯，《黑暗时代在眼前》，2005）
…it must be science. That's not an ordinary error, it's a form of rank incompetence the academy has fomented for decades; often resulting in the satanic inverse of empirical science. (See Jane Jacobs, Dark Age Ahead 2005)
