【心得雜記】

公民權是否要靠自己賺來？

「Something given has no value」（電影） https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_urWSSZgwU

→ 比起別人無償給予的，靠自己的力量賺來的會讓人更珍惜。這就是人性吧。

民主制度若會失敗，就是因為有人搭民主自由的便車。


"Value" has no meaning other than in relationship to living beings.

→

The value of a thing is always relative to a particular person, is completely personal and different in quantity for each living human — "market value" is a fiction, merely a rough guess at the average of personal values, all of which must be quantitatively different or trade would be impossible. …

This very personal relationship, "value", has two factors for a human being: first, what he can do with a thing, its use to him… and second, what he must do to get it, its cost to him. There is an old song which asserts that "the best things in life are free". Not true! Utterly false! This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted… and get it, without toil, without sweat, without tears. …

I fancy that the poet who wrote that song meant to imply that the best things in life must be purchased other than with money — which is true — just as the literal meaning of his words is false. The best things in life are beyond money; their price is agony and sweat and devotion . . . and the price demanded for the most precious of all things in life is life itself — ultimate cost for perfect value."

→ 或許可解讀為「人要先顧好生命，才會去想自由（馬斯洛金字塔理論）」？

「30歲的腦殘，投票能投得比15歲的天才好？」

為何「公民權」必須要服役（社會役、勞役、兵役等等）才能得到？因為這代表一個人是否重視社會與國家之發展。（群體大於個人利益）

- 想起這個：

任何一個投給國民黨的同性戀都沒資格討論政治【鄭知道了】2018-11-29
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUFtHskotpc
「任何一個投給國民黨的同性戀都沒資格討論政治，這不是民主跟言論自由的問題，追根究底還是藍甲完全沒有邏輯跟智商的問題。」

- 所以才說根本不是每個人都有資格投票，就算有也不應該票票等值

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers

- Important government jobs are reserved for federal service veterans.

- This is especially true of the parts of his training that involve indoctrination, such as the claim by one of his instructors that rule by military veterans is the ideal form of government, because only they understand how to put collective well-being above the individual.

- Some reviewers have suggested that Heinlein was simply discussing the merits of a selective versus a nonselective franchise. Heinlein made a similar claim, over two decades after Starship Troopers's publication, in his Expanded Universe and further claimed that 95 percent of "veterans" were not military personnel but members of the civil service.

最近重新讀星艦戰將，想到之前講到票票是否等值的問題。

裡面不是每個人都有公民權。在書裏面，只有服役過的人才能投票、才能從政。服役不限於兵役（只佔5%），包括社會役、勞役等。至於為何要服役才能有公民權，設定認為「這代表一個人把群體利益置於個人利益上」（很明顯這設定是排除某些從政只為了自己利益的人）。

裡面講到一些事，意思大概就是總是有人會搭民主自由的便車來亂，所以才會導致20世紀民主崩潰。

還有一句話則是「30歲的智障能投票投得比15歲的天才好（wisely）嗎？」原文沒有詳述"智障"與"天才"是指先天那種還是取笑人那種，但是看到台灣（還有其他國家）一堆老人亂投票（英國老怒男多偏好脫歐），真的讓人覺得年齡無法代表一切。

雖然作者這個設定只是一個理想狀態（排除許多變數）下的制度，但也滿有意思的。只是實際上不論制度設計得多完善，一定會有人發現漏洞去鑽，這就是人性。現實上要利用一個制度來篩選誰能投票誰不能投票真的是一個難題。畢竟人性本來就是一個複雜的東西，很難有一個100%完善的系統來處理。

→ 在教育的過程中，體罰真的跟書中Dubois的觀點一樣嗎？還是要因材施教？又，體罰什麼時候適合？怎樣做才適切？

Bug War
Historians were unsure whether to call it the Third (or Fourth) Space War, or the First Interstellar War. (See Bugs, next item.)

Bugs
Aliens that waged war against the Terran Federation, probably because both factions wanted to expand into the same territory. There are intimations of border conflicts before war officially broke out, but the "beginning" of the war, for most of Earth, was the destruction of Buenos Aires in an unexpected attack. The aliens resembled giant spiders, but the social organization was more like that of intelligent ants or bees. Humans occasionally called them Arachnids.

caleb (neodog)
An "artificially mutated symbiote derived from dog stock." Calebs had intelligence equivalent to low-normal human, and could talk. Their rapport with their human partners was so intense that if the human was killed, the caleb normally had to be euthanized, and if the caleb was killed it took months of therapy for the human to recover. [Hebrew, "dog"]

K-9 Corps
Army corps in which calebs and humans worked in symbiotic teams.

flogging
Standard punishment in the Federal Service, also used for civil infractions such as drunk driving.

Daughters of Charity
Establishment to which Emilio Rico gave a large portion of his wealth when he joined the Mobile Infantry.

H-Bomb
Mobile Infantry soldiers were equipped with small atomic bombs along with all their other weaponry.
(also in other stories)

H.E. bombs
Type of weapon carried by the Mobile Infantry. The "H.E." stands for "high explosive".

History and Moral Philosophy
Class required of all high school students, though no grade was given. It was always taught by Federal Service military veterans. In Officers Candidate School, a more advanced version is required that is a deciding factor in granting commissions.

hypnopedia
Subject covered in Officers Candidate School. It is probably an hypnotic learning method.

hypnosis
Heinlein frequently makes mention of hypnosis either as a method of psychotherapy, of education, or of interrogation. Hypnotherapy was apparently common in the time of Starship Troopers; Emilio Rico used it.

McSlattery's Volunteers
Outfit that Emilio Rico joined after completing Basic Training.

Operation Bughouse
See First Battle of Klendathu.

Operation Madhouse
Name that Juan Rico opined should have been used for Operation Bughouse.

Operation Royalty
Raid on Planet P to capture a Bug brain, or queen.

sensitives
Also called "talents". The term was commonly used for people with psychic abilities. A sensitive was used to map out the Bug tunnels on Planet P.

Skinnies
Natives of a planet hit by Rasczak's Roughnecks. Originally allies of the Bugs, after the attack they traded sides to fight for the Federation.

Terran Medal
Federation military award.

Trojan horse
Ejection capsule in which troopers are dropped from their ship to a planet's surface. It was designed with several layers, each of which protects the trooper against re-entry but also peels off in chunks to create radar "noise" to mask the drop. The inmost "egg" holds the trooper immobile through the drop and is discarded at the trooper's command.

Tsing (no other name)
[mentioned in passing] Author of Collapse of the Golden Hegemony.

"Yankee Doodle"
Recall signal of the Valley Forge.

Wounded Lion
Federation military decoration.

「社會（或集體、國家）利益大於個人利益」有很多種分類（或程度），就跟光譜一樣：

為了大家著想而勉強一下自己（或個人）、

從自願來說，有

 自發性地

 上層勸誘性的

 上層強制性的

又，

社會利益是否是真的社會利益？

比方說，是真的為了社會、國家著想

還是只是為了上面的人一己之私而服務？

極權國家往往會把當權者（複數，即統治集團）的利益用國家社會的美名來包裝。

在街道上橫行的亂象只是一個表象的病徵，表明了這個文明已經身患重病
它的公民（所有人都是）只知道歌頌著「權力」的神話
卻忘記了他們自身應擔負的責任
由這種公民所組成的國家是不可能國運長久的

KMT完全印證 Heinlein 遠在70年前在書中說的

當一群 丑角 發現選票是一個好用的道具時，他們便在民主制度中為所欲為了

加上人民公民素養不足，很容易讓這些丑角得勢

而且國民黨這最不民主又反民主的總是搭 民主的便車 昨天說為民主守夜 有夠不要臉

我爸那些8.4還說公投變成政黨惡鬥選舉，說 台灣民主不成熟

欸不是，就是國民黨發起公投作為鬥爭工具啊

不過台灣是真的不夠民主，才讓國民黨這麼不民主的政黨存在（苦笑

I have never been able to see how a thirty-year-old moron can vote more wisely than a fifteen-year-old genius . . . but that was the age of the "divine right of the common man." Never mind, they paid for their folly.

「30歲的智障能投票投得比15歲的天才好（wisely）嗎？」
