本周封面关注海洋。人类一直觉得海洋可以容纳下我们想放进去的任何东西,也可以随心所欲从海洋取走任何想要的东西,为什么有这样的误解呢,文章给出三个原因,一是海洋太大了,大家对于其伤害无从感知,看不见就当没有呗。二是缺乏统一治理,自家门前雪都扫不清呢,海洋这个非利益相关就更不用说了,三是海洋是其他大事件的受害者,文章给出了三个原因的解药,但我觉得好玩的是这三个原因其实是现实生活中很多事情无解或者被忽视的统一原因,因为我们更关心看得见,更在乎利益相关的,更重视当前重要的事情。反省对海洋的态度,也需要反省我们自己对待问题的角度。(以上是自己有感而发,非文章观点)

with the instructive iconoclasm of
Think Like a Freak
, a fascinating, illuminating, and witty look at what the vast amounts of information now instantly available to us reveals about ourselves and our world—provided we ask the right questions.
By the end of an average day in the early twenty-first century, human beings searching the internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information—unprecedented in history—can tell us a great deal about who we are—the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than twenty years ago, seemed unfathomable.
Everybody Lies
offers fascinating, surprising, and sometimes laugh-out-loud insights into everything from economics to ethics to sports to race to sex, gender and more, all drawn from the world of big data. What percentage of white voters didn’t vote for Barack Obama because he’s black? Does where you go to school effect how successful you are in life? Do parents secretly favor boy children over girls? Do violent films affect the crime rate? Can you beat the stock market? How regularly do we lie about our sex lives and who’s more self-conscious about sex, men or women?
