书中自有咸鱼肉

书呀书。

书是人写的。

一般在坊间发行的书，我们普片人能指染的书，都是书商发行的。写书者的最大驱动力，就是畅销和读者群广。

书的包装、书的口碑，无一不是和销路挂钩。书的销路和文字的质量相关吗？我们买书的动机，我们自己清楚吗？是因为学习需求？是因为口碑？

书的口碑，往往也只能代表了一群羊的主观思维。而看书，则成为了入群入党的途径。你阅读一本书，则代表你思想上把自己圈进一群羊、入党归队（至少在你阅读那段时间空间内是）。

到底看书能否带来有意义的知识，到了我这个阶段，我慢慢倾向于回答：无，开始觉得无任何意义。

知识是经过沉淀而产生的。知识沉淀是需要时间的。时间的流逝使得知识变得不合时宜。书往往就是一些不合时宜的知识印刷在无法修改的死树制作成的纸张上面。

要生活得有意义，我们应该活在当下。

看书，就无法活在当下，因为看书就等于缅怀过去，还是别人感官世界中的过去。看书比缅怀自己的过去更无聊、更倒退。

人为了生存，或者是更有价值地生存，是不应该看书的。看书都是喜欢缅怀别人过去的光辉的失败者的行为。

希望更有竞争力地生存，如果靠看过去的书，倒不如靠失败中总结经验。别人书中述说的，是别人的经历，多看十遍都无法变为自己的经历。

小学生学加减乘除，看完了数学书，不做题，都还是无法把握得到真理论、真知识。

书说 1+1 等于 2，是真的吗？

真？什么是真的？

我们人都惯用10进制的体系。

人有10个手指、10个脚趾。所以我们用了10进制；学算数，都是在自己手脚里面做的运算。所以，难怪学会计的、长期面对数字的人，天生都爱"做手脚"：咱看看 enron scandal 的幕后功臣！

普遍人算数，就是在10进制的假设、这个大前提下进行。这些都属于基础知识：前提、假设。然而，到了高等数学程度的时候，甚至是量子物理数学的时候，就发现很多 "前提" 和 "假设" 都可能面临挑战。

那么，1+1=2 还让他继续成立吗？

如果你喜欢，尽管让他成为你做事思考的"前提"。但是，我们必须要谨记着我们所有做的事情和思考的模式，都是在我们积累的知识中的前提所驱使前进的。所有你和我看过的书，读过的报，都是过去了的事情。

为了与时并进，看最新的消息才有用吧？！那么，看来看报、看新闻是必须的啦。

我从小就听到一些长辈说，每天晚上看看新闻报道，与时并进。然而，什么是新闻呢？最近则越发感到新闻只不过就是当权者觉得你应该知道的、能让他们更方便去控制你的信息而已。

看书能获取基础知识。然而，什么是基础知识呢？如何定义基础知识？我们往往说的基础知识，都是说生活上的基础知识。人为了生活，都需要的知识。这些知识，我们姑且称为基础知识。我们为下一代定义的众多基础知识范围中，有哪些是值得去认真学习的呢？是数学吗？是语文吗？还是时下都流行学的外语呢？

一个野人在一个荒岛需要这些知识吗？甚至.... 需要书吗？

Cast Away 电影中 Tom Hanks 饰演的 Chuck Noland 能一个人在孤岛上生存下来，看不出和书，和数学、甚至和语言有任何关系。

The Day After Tomorrow 电影中，人为了在冰天雪地中生存下来，不得不烧书取暖。

在科学取证中，往往都用极端案例去证明一些立论的真理、真确性。书这个东西，在上述两个极端案例中，似乎是非常奢侈的高级玩物，并非我们真正需要的基础物资。

如果我突然快死，只剩下一口气；如果我要交待遗言、训话给我女儿，基于上述立论，肯定就不应该叫她们去好好读书，免得过分抬举了书的重要性，误了她们一生！

我可能会告诉她们，书中自有咸鱼肉：多吃无益。

Don't eat peanut butter unless your mom made it

I've been reading a popular health book, The China Study, published in 2005. In case you have yet heard some of the startling content in it, I'm sending you this piece of info. for your reference.

On page 34 of The China Study, researcher says, 'Considerable evidence had been emerging, first from England later from MIT (the same lab that I had worked in) 10, 11 to show that peanuts often were contaminated with a fungus-produced toxin called aflatoxin (AF). It was an alarming problem because AF was being shown to cause liver cancer in rats. It was said to be the most potent chemical carcinogen ever discovered.'

On page 35, he continues, 'We learned that peanuts and corn were the foods most contaminated. All twenty-nine jars of peanut butter we had purchased in the local groceries, for example, were contaminated, with levels of AF as much as 300 times the amount judged to be acceptable in U.S. food. Whole peanuts were much less contaminated; none exceeded the AF amounts allowed in U.S. commodities. This disparity between peanut butter and whole peanuts originated at the peanut factory. The best peanuts, which filled "cocktail" jars, were hand selected from a moving conveyor belt, leaving the worst, moldiest nuts to be delivered to the end of the belt to make peanut butter.'

Google "peanut butter aflatoxin"

If you don't eat Chicken McNuggets due to its controversy, then you probably don't want to eat jarred peanut butter neither...

Atkin and The China Study

Although the author of The China Study might not have much good to say about Atkin, which inspired my research and practice of healthy diet, he actually offers some more insights and evidence to my current dietary routines that I'm enjoying with my family.

I'd just skin the arguments and just post the "HOW TO EAT" chart for you to see.



The "Avoid" part of the section is what I'm interested to know more. I'd say I've been practicing mostly everything above the "Avoid" part of the chart.
