追剧,为了远离这个现实,也是回望那个我出生长大,无比亲切,也逐渐陌生的地方。
听书,为了远离24小时滚动新闻,也是为了深入那个我曾经完全陌生,还在逐渐熟悉的地方。
The Hardest Job in the World by John Dickerson
这本书很有意思,
“If a president whipped up the crowd, “the passions…not the reason, of the public would sit in judgment,” wrote Madison in Federalist No. 49. “But it is the reason, alone, of the public, that ought to control and regulate the government. The passions ought to be controlled and regulated by the government.”37”
― John Dickerson, The Hardest Job in the World: The American Presidency
看看最近这几年,200多年前Madison说的这话是不是很有针对性?
想买一本。
另外,除了书,还发现了几个podcast,最常听的是
We the People a Podcasts from Nastion Consititution Center.

最近的几期都很有意思。
另外这两个政治倾向很明显,都是前奥巴马班子里的人。一个是Pod Save America,
另一个是Pod Save the World, 一个讨论国内事务,一个着重于国际事务。他们的政治观点可以忽略,但是他们独特的角度也值得去了解。
