Reprint: Difficulty "Respecting Technology and Caring for Talents"

I graduated from a liberal arts university with the title of "China" as a professor of politics and law. It stands to reason that we study hard in the cold window and are desperately trying to become legal and technical talents of the motherland. Recite the law like the name of the dish, and bring the criminals to justice! But after graduation, my classmates desperately wanted to be officials, and they joined some agencies and ministries that had nothing to do with the law. I've been fortunate enough to take a few exams. The person who gave the test doesn't care about technology at all, but only cares about whether we actively participate in organizational activities, whether we have the spirit of bearing humiliation, and whether we can drink. In one interview, the other party asked: If your leader suddenly said the wrong thing at a meeting, how would you remind him without embarrassing him? I thought to myself: isn't this what it deserves? Why should I remind him? I prefer to sit down and watch jokes.

As Thomas Wolfe's "Angel, Homeland" wrote: "If it's a sloppy Georgia woman who haunts our lives, it's because a burglar in London wasn't hanged." The girl in the compound stared blankly at the mysterious door with no famous brand but with a prominent number. She felt troubled but couldn't figure out what was bothering her. It must be because she had not watched the American drama "The Big Bang Theory".

It's a sitcom and talk show about four science-technical talents whose job is to brainstorm undercurrents over physical formulas on a whiteboard and whose hobbies are nothing more than Star Trek, Star Wars, and Marvel The superhero comics produced by comic companies for a long time, and then accompanied by a little affection for the opposite blonde, are basically a "beauty and geek". Leonard, an applied physicist, got on with the blonde, but the girl was cold, and he sent his roommate, theoretical physicist Sheldon, to find out. The girl said shyly: I actually like him quite a bit, but I am worried that he has never had a girlfriend like me who graduated from community college, with average IQ and even a little stupid. Shorton comforted her and said: Don't worry, he used to have a girlfriend who was stupid. She was a doctor of French literature. First of all, she was French, and she also studied literature!

Just like this, at first glance "The Big Bang Theory" hides the inextricability between liberal arts students and science students. I also got into a fight with a biotech guy about it, and oddly enough, instead of defending our fields, we wanted to prove how annoying it is to poke fun at a profession. Using liquid nitrogen to make banana popsicles, quoting "Schrödinger's cat" at every turn, even letting fruit flies make nests in their ears won't hear any life wisdom... These jokes are a lot of quotes from Woody Allen. Old writers seduce little girls in movies, or any literary book has the same temperament. Take "The Gift of Humboldt", for example, the outdated poet Humboldt, who was shrouded in the breath of death, couldn't sleep and was dizzy, but also quoted Lenin's exclamation in "The State and Revolution": "I am dizzy!"; Then he compares himself to the ballet dancer Nizhny Nizhny, jumping and dancing; if he humiliates someone, he always has the ability to make the other person feel honored, as if he had been painted by Picasso as a double-nosed portrait... How? Isn't this old literati very annoying? He is amused by the dazzling performances of the four science geniuses, but he is rude and arrogant.

But when we closed the computer and turned on the TV, I settled with the biotech. "The Big Bang Theory" has nothing to do with literature and science, but a colorful movement of the American TV drama chorus of technical talents: it inherits "CSI", a medical talent, and "Doctor House", a medical talent. "LIE TO ME"... They can all use the slogan of "The Big Bang Theory": "Smart is the new sexy", "10% make fun of intelligence, 90% pay tribute to intelligence". But look at those Chinese TV dramas that linger on TV, the basic theme is "being an official": a rural child has to stay in the army so he can become a 'cadre'; if he is already in the army, his passion burns In order to keep the official title; even in the women's drama in the Qing palace, the women fought intrigue to become the largest official in the harem - the queen. The only wonderful TV drama "Severe Cases Six", the only technical talent, I suspect is the work of our school alumni who can't bear the "official standard" to change their careers to write TV dramas. The case is almost copied from textbooks.

We do not distinguish between arts and sciences, we pride ourselves on talents, but one is engaged in scientific research but is busy evaluating professional titles all day; One has to be obsessed with "The Big Bang Theory", and the other often watches "60 Sunset Boulevard" (screenwriter talent), so as to imagine the beautiful atmosphere of respecting technology and caring for talents, escaping for a while in a niche, escaping those damn titles Interpersonal relationships, official titles and power.
