多数演讲基本能在YouTube找到视频。其中令人印象深刻的一些:父亲早期教育的巨大影响,参与原子弹研制弹过程的反思,对社会科学研究、美国科学院甚至诺贝尔奖的鄙夷,论数学的重要性(To not know math is a severe limitation to understanding the world),作为少数坚定无神论科学家评论宗教的4个'too'(too simple, too connected, too local, too provincial.)以及收尾那段: I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

这本书科学的部分大于生活的部分,因此没有上一本听起来那么有趣了,但是意外收获是关于社会科学的狠狠吐槽——闭门造车,研究做得一塌糊涂,并且毛都没有发现😂 社会科学的脸都被打肿了。然后还有一段专门吐槽犯罪学的,说we obviously made no progress(这段来自1974年6月的演讲,早些时候也就是1974年春社会学家马丁森发表重磅论文说用来矫正犯罪人那些措施都没有用)。Indeed good outsider view to remind ourselves what we are doing😂
