福山那篇文，说独裁必然导致质量低下的决策，提到房地产经济，“Go online and search for Chinese buildings being blown up, and you will see many videos of massive housing complexes being dynamited because there is no one to buy apartments in them.”

我第一时间想到的却是这些年网络上被炸掉的无数账号，被轻易抹去且无法回还的言论与思想印迹，曾经想“炸”这个字要如何转译，原来早有直接视觉的、现实的、另一层次的呼应。

文章结尾，“The problem is that many who grow up living in peaceful, prosperous liberal democracies begin to take their form of government for granted.”
讲得委婉了。一方的深渊是自由国度的饭后笑谈，甚或根本看不见你。

但我对全球化剩下的“信”在于此：漠视远方的山火，那么迟早有一天会烧到你身上。
