David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that’s an understatement. What you don’t know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world.

Ellie Arroway: Funny, I’ve always believed that the world is what we make of it.

防止愚善系統

即使一個人企圖做好人,他也未必是好人。他可能因為人格有嚴重的缺失,導致他時常好心做壞事。而那個「人格缺失」,通常是「愚蠢」。

「好心做壞事」的殺傷力,往往同「壞心做壞事」不相伯仲。

而更麻煩的地方是,你勸諫一個「好心做壞事」的人不要再做壞事時,他會因為愚蠢,而不明白你在說什麼。他心目中以為,出於善意的,就一定是善行。

那是大錯特錯的。

Many disasters in the world are due to dumb people trying to save the world.
