“The political media is biased, but not toward the Left or Right so much as toward loud, outrageous, colorful, inspirational, confrontational.

“照某些哲学家说，这是必须的。佛家就说，生就是人生的苦痛的根源。柏拉图也说，肉体是灵魂的监狱。有些道家的人"以生为附赘悬疣，以死为决疴溃痈。"这都是以为，欲得到最高的成就，必须脱离尘罗世网，必须脱离社会，甚至脱离"生"。只有这样，才可以得到最后的解脱。这种哲学，即普通所谓"出世的哲学"。
另有一种哲学，注重社会中的人伦和世务。这种哲学只讲道德价值，不会讲或不愿讲超道德价值。这种哲学，即普通所谓"入世的哲学"。从入世的哲学的观点看，出世的哲学是太理想主义的，无实用的，消极的。从出世的哲学的观点看，入世的哲学太现实主义了，太肤浅了。它也许是积极的，但是就像走错了路的人的快跑：越跑得快，越错得很。”

“We give too much attention to national politics, which we can do very little to change, and too little attention to state and local politics, where our voices can matter much more. The time spent spraying outrage over Trump's latest tweet - which is, to be clear, what he wants you to do; the point is to suck up all the media oxygen so he retains control of the conversation - is better spent checking in with what's happening in your own neighborhood.”
