政府奖学金计划的一个故事

《译自一篇致陈钦亮的读者

在一个纯属虚构和名为『万Hub国家它的政府奖学金计划是如下运作的。政府奖学金计划 (government scholarship) 最明显的目的是选拔聪慧的青年人。计划的其他目的并不是那么明显的。

这些聪慧的青年人对现有的政治体系造成清晰和实在的威协。因此必须有系统地对们终身『处置 (managed)』和压制 (neutralized)

用奖学金去鼓励并且诱导这些聪慧的青年人集中精神从事学业、特别是科学和工程学。为这些学科是以事实为根基﹐它们倾向于孕育更加顺从政府的学生,并且不需要训练作批判式的思考(critical thinking)

政府同时地『整(fix)』那些需要作批判式思考的学科例如政治学、历史和哲学。过分派大批的弱等学生去修读这些艺术学科,因而打击这些学科的声誉使不受学生欢迎。

这些领取奖学金的年青学者毕业后要接受政府的束缚﹐在当前的政府体系之内服务大约

不管这些学者的能力和天分,政府向们支付高于市场价格的薪金和迅速提拔他们升任高职。并且鼓励他们结婚和生养许多孩子。

这些学者完成服务政府的束缚期之后﹐们年介三十出头。此时们正在担当超乎他们能力的职位并且收取无敌的薪金。一方面他们忙于应付妻儿。另一方面侧由于住房和汽车贷款而严重地债台高筑。同时他们也维持着一种昂贵的生活方式,例如经常出国远游和身为多间乡村俱乐部的会员。如此种种,这些学者实在太忙碌以致无暇思考国事的是与非。

他们年介四十来岁之时,大约50%80%学者将面临事业停滞这时,他们开始醒觉和从新思考。但是为时己晚了

他们受到了多数平民百姓的视和怀疑,这些以前的好高骛远之士(high-fliers)目前己经无处可归。他们尚要偿还巨大的住房车贷款和维持着一种昂贵的生活方式。们的孩子也在此时想要到美国的顶端大学留学,这将花费一匹为数不菲的金钱。

这些学者无处可逃。他们并不拥有在真实世界』内可以谋生的真正技能。因为在服务政府初期,他们太迅速被提升而错过了学习在政府基层如何实际工作去取得成果。再者,在事业初期由于经常轮换政府岗位,他们现在年介四十来岁才发现没有基层知识或者专门技能。

因此这些开始醒觉的学者没有选择,只好闭嘴和顺从政府的政策。他们自已也变了他们在二、三十岁时曾经藐视的那些无能的政府雇员一样。

当他们年介五十来岁之时,这些前学者将轻轻地从政府体系中被逐步淘汰,而被调派至对政府无害的『非政府组织(NGOs)』的高层领异位置,使保持忙碌和令政府不招麻烦。但是甚而这些NGOs是特别的机构。们实际上是商业界组织的NGOs和政府本身组织的NGOs

[以上的故事纯属虚构,在现实世界从未有这种政府奖学金计划如此运作。]
