Tsuas yog los ntawm Kev Tawm Tsam Exceptionalism: Dab tsi yog qhov uas peb xav txog Tebchaws Meskas? Peb yuav ua li cas txog nws? (Lub Plaub Hlis, 2018).
Sim ua qhov kev sim no: Xav txog tias qhov chaw neeg txawv teb chaws tuaj rau hauv ntiaj teb tiag tiag thiab muaj tiag, raws li kuv xav tias tsis zoo li, tsim lub peev xwm taug kev mus rau lub ntiaj teb thaum tib lub sijhawm tseem tshuav li qub thaum mus ua phem rau qhov chaw lawv mus xyuas. Hauv kev sib piv rau qhov chaw neeg txawv teb chaws, koj puas tuaj yeem txheeb xyuas tias yog lub ntiaj teb mus rau qhov ua rau txo qis koj lwm qhov kev xav ntawm tus kheej? “Earthings — F — Yeah!” "Peb yog Number 1!" "Lub Ntiaj Teb Loj Tshaj Plaws hauv Ntiaj Teb!" Thiab koj puas tuaj yeem tuav qhov kev xav, thaum tsis muaj qhov chaw neeg txawv teb chaws, thiab tshem koj tus kheej ntawm kev xav ntawm kev tawm tsam lwm tus lossis txawv teb chaws, thaum tseem tuav qhov kev xav hauv ntiaj teb no? Xwb, koj puas tuaj yeem cuam tshuam kev hloov pauv huab cua thiab ib puag ncig kev puas tsuaj hauv lub luag haujlwm ntawm tus neeg txawv teb chaws phem Hollywood dab tawm tsam leej twg tib neeg yuav tsum koom ua ke?
Lossis sim ua qhov no: Xav txog tias ntau hom tib neeg muaj sia nyob rau niaj hnub no, kom peb Sapiens faib lub ntiaj teb nrog Neanderthals, Erectus, me me Floresiensis, thiab lwm yam.[I] Koj puas tuaj yeem tsim koj tus kheej hauv koj lub siab li Sapiens? Thiab tom qab ntawd, koj tuaj yeem tuav qhov kev xav no thaum xav txog lwm hom rov qab los ntawm lub neej lossis xav txog kev kawm kom muaj kev hwm thiab ua siab zoo rau lwm hom tib neeg li peb yuav tsum tau sim ua rau lwm hom neeg nyob thiab tsis yog. - tib neeg ntiaj teb tam sim no?
Tej zaum qhov cuab yeej muaj zog tshaj plaws rau kev hloov cov cwj pwm ntawm kev xav txog pawg neeg yog lub luag haujlwm thim rov qab. Cia peb xav txog tias yog vim li cas, pib qee lub xya caum xyoo dhau los North Kauslim tau kos ib txoj kab hla Tebchaws Meskas, los ntawm hiav txwv mus rau lub hiav txwv ci ntsa iab, thiab faib nws, thiab kawm thiab cob qhia thiab ua tub rog rau cov neeg lim hiam nyob rau sab qab teb Asmeskas, thiab rhuav tshem 80. feem pua ntawm cov nroog hauv North Tebchaws Meskas, thiab tua ntau lab tus neeg North America. Tom qab ntawd North Kauslim tsis kam tso cai rau ib qho kev sib koom ua ke hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas los yog kev ua tsov rog xaus, tuav tswj kev ua tsov rog ntawm South United States tub rog, tsim cov tub rog North Kauslim loj hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas, tso cov cuaj luaj nyob rau sab qab teb ntawm Teb Chaws Asmeskas tsis muaj tub rog cheeb tsam uas khiav mus txog. nyob nruab nrab ntawm lub tebchaws, thiab tau tsim kev nplua nyiaj txiag phem rau North Tebchaws Meskas rau ntau xyoo lawm. Raws li ib tug neeg nyob hauv North United States, koj yuav xav li cas thaum tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm North Kauslim hem koj lub teb chaws nrog "hluav taws kub thiab npau taws"?[Ii] Koj tus kheej tsoomfwv yuav muaj gazillions ntawm kev ua txhaum cai tam sim no thiab keeb kwm thiab tsis txaus rau nws qhov credit, tab sis koj xav li cas txog kev hem los ntawm lub teb chaws uas tua koj pog koj yawg thiab ntsaum koj tawm ntawm koj cov kwv tij? Los yog koj yuav ntshai dhau los xav txog kev xav?
Qhov kev sim no muaj peev xwm ua tau ntau pua qhov kev hloov pauv, thiab kuv xav kom sim nws ntau zaus hauv koj tus kheej lub siab thiab hauv pab pawg, kom tib neeg lub tswv yim tuaj yeem pub rau hauv kev xav ntawm lwm tus. Xav txog tias koj yog los ntawm Marshall Islands nrhiav nyiaj rov qab rau kev sim nuclear thiab / lossis lub hiav txwv nce.[Iii] Xav txog tias koj yog los ntawm Niger thiab tsawg dua kev lom zem uas cov neeg Amelikas thawj zaug hnov txog koj lub tebchaws thaum lawv tsoomfwv ua txuj tias Iraq yuav uranium hauv koj lub tebchaws, thiab cov neeg Amelikas tsuas yog kawm txog lawv tus kheej cov tub rog kev ua hauv koj lub tebchaws thaum US tus thawj tswj hwm tsis txaus siab rau niam ntawm ib tug tub rog Asmeskas tuag.[Iv] Xav txog tias koj yog kuv cov phooj ywg los ntawm Vicenza, Ltalis, uas pom cov neeg hauv zos thiab lub tebchaws feem ntau txhawb nqa los thaiv kev tsim kho ntawm US Army puag tab sis tsis tuaj yeem nres nws - lossis cov neeg zoo sib xws hauv Okinawa lossis Jeju Island lossis lwm qhov thoob plaws ntiaj teb.
Thiab tsis txhob xav tias koj yog lwm tus neeg. Kawm thiab rov qhia cov dab neeg nrog tag nrho cov ntsiab lus rov qab. Tsis yog Okinawa. Nws yog Alabama. Nyiv tab tom sau Alabama nrog cov tub rog Nyij Pooj. Cov nroog thiab lub xeev tau tawm tsam, tab sis cov neeg ua haujlwm tsis txaus ntseeg hauv Washington, DC, tab tom mus. Cov tub rog lub dav hlau sib tsoo tshwm sim hauv Alabama. Kev sib kis ntawm kev ua niam ntiav thiab yeeb tshuaj tshwm sim hauv Alabama. Cov ntxhais hauv zos raug raped thiab tua yog Alabaman. Cov tub rog Nyij Pooj hais tias nws yog rau koj tus kheej zoo txawm tias koj xav li ntawd los tsis yog, thiab lawv tsis tshua nyiam qhov koj xav. Koj tau txais lub tswv yim. Qhov no tuaj yeem ua tiav nrog kev faib nyiaj txiag, nrog kev cuam tshuam ib puag ncig, nrog kev ua tub rog, nrog rau txhua qhov teeb meem hauv qab hnub. Kev phom sij ntawm kev yooj yim dua yuav tsum tau tawm tsam. Lub tswv yim tsis yog ruam kom ntseeg koj tus kheej tias txhua tus neeg Asmeskas yog 100% kev phem thaum txhua tus neeg Nyij Pooj yog qee yam ntawm cov tubtxib saum ntuj. Lub tswv yim yog thim rov qab qee qhov tseeb tseem ceeb thiab saib seb puas muaj dab tsi tshwm sim rau koj tus cwj pwm. Yog tsis yog, tej zaum koj tus cwj pwm yog ncaj ncees thiab muaj kev hwm los pib nrog.
Lwm tus neeg xaiv tsa rau cov cuab yeej muaj zog tshaj plaws rau kev hloov cov cwj pwm ntawm kev xav txog pawg neeg yog dab tsi mus los ntawm lub npe khib heev "humanization." Qhov no yog tus txheej txheem uas koj supposedly coj ib tug tib neeg los yog pab pawg neeg ntawm tib neeg, thiab los ntawm kev kawm lawv cov npe thiab lub ntsej muag qhia thiab me ntsis idiosyncrasies, koj "humanize" lawv, thiab koj tuaj mus rau lub xaus hais tias cov tib neeg no yog. . . tos nws. . . tos nws. . . tib neeg. Tam sim no, kuv yog 100 feem pua ntawm qhov pom zoo rau qhov twg nws xav tau thiab ua haujlwm. Kuv xav tias cov neeg Amelikas (thiab feem ntau cov neeg) yuav tsum tau nyeem ntau phau ntawv txawv teb chaws, kawm ntau hom lus txawv teb chaws, saib ntau cov yeeb yaj kiab txawv teb chaws, thiab taug kev ntau dua hauv txoj hauv kev uas koom nrog lawv hauv kev coj noj coj ua txawv teb chaws. Kuv xav tias cov tub ntxhais kawm yuav tsum tau siv sijhawm ib xyoos raws li cov tub ntxhais kawm sib pauv hauv tsev neeg txawv teb chaws thiab tsev kawm ntawv. Kuv xav tias qhov kev sim tseem ceeb ntawm kev kawm me nyuam yaus hauv Tebchaws Meskas yuav tsum yog: Cov menyuam no tau kawm dab tsi txog tib neeg, suav nrog 96% sab nraud Tebchaws Meskas?
Kuv vam tias nyob rau qee lub sijhawm peb tuaj yeem dhia humanization thiab tuaj txog ntawm kev nkag siab tias, qhov tseeb, tib neeg yog tib neeg, txawm peb paub dab tsi txog lawv lossis tsis! Nws yuav pab tau ua txuj tias tag nrho cov yeeb yaj kiab Hollywood tau tsim thiab ua yeeb yam Syrians (lossis lwm haiv neeg). Yog tias yog li ntawd, yog tias txhua tus nyiam ua yeeb yam los ntawm txhua zaj yeeb yaj kiab thiab TV yeeb yaj kiab yog Syrian, puas muaj leej twg hauv ntiaj teb yuav tsis ntseeg tias Syrians yog tib neeg? Thiab dab tsi yuav cuam tshuam rau peb qhov kev nkag siab ntawm tsoomfwv Israeli txoj haujlwm tshaj tawm, zoo li tsis txaus ntseeg los ntawm tsoomfwv Meskas txoj cai, tias qhov txiaj ntsig zoo tshaj plaws hauv Syria yog rau tsis muaj leej twg los yeej tab sis kev ua tsov rog mus mus ib txhis?[V]
