美国的知识界从来都不是很聪明。或者诚实。他们都是羊,追随这十年的知识时尚。要求每个人都步调一致地遵循他们的指令。每个人都必须对自己所信仰的事物持开放的态度和宽容的态度,但上帝禁止他们承认,哪怕是片刻,那些不同意他们观点的人可能掌握着真理。
(America's intellectual community has never been very bright. Or honest. They're all sheep, following whatever the intellectual fashion of the decade happens to be. Demanding that everyone follow their dicta in lockstep. Everyone has to be open-minded and tolerant of the things they believe, but God forbid they should ever concede, even for a moment, that someone who disagrees with them might have some fingerhold of truth.)
