Tolerance, openness to argument, openness to self-doubt, willingness to see other people's points of view - these are very liberal and enlightened values that people are right to hold, but we can't allow them to delude us to the point where we can't recognise people who are needlessly perpetrating human misery.

  • -- Sam Harris 山姆·哈里斯

宽容、开放的观点,开放自我怀疑,愿意看到别人的观点——这些都是非常自由和文明的价值,人们是对的,但是我们不能让他们欺骗我们,我们不能承认犯下不必要的人类苦难的人。
