内容简介

思考是记忆的运动 This a dialogue between us, a conversation between two friends. So, this is not a lecture to instruct, inform or guide you.

Civilizations have disappeared; so have cultures that shaped the behavior of human beings. We have had a great many leaders, political and religious, with all the tricks that they have played on human beings. And after this enormous evolution of the human brain, we are what we have been— rather primitive, barbarous, cruel, and always preparing for war. Every nation now is storing up armaments. And we human beings are caught in this wheel of time. We have not changed very much; we are still barbarians, with all kinds of superstitions and beliefs. At the end of it all, where are we? 所以说这是一场严肃的讲话，而不是一件智力上、
