謝斯特頓圍籬：別毀了你不懂的東西！ (Chesterton Fence: Don’t Destroy What You Don’t Understand!)
- Chesterton's fence is a simple rule of thumb that suggests that you should never destroy a fence, change a rule, or do away with a tradition until you understand why it's there in the first place. The principle assumes that fences have a purpose, were carefully planned, and cost time and money to erect.
切斯特頓的柵欄是一條簡單的經驗法則，它建議在瞭解柵欄存在的初衷之前，永遠不要破壞柵欄、改變規則或廢除傳統。 這一原則假定柵欄是有目的的，是經過精心策劃的，是花費時間和金錢建立起來的。

思想史：餐桌禮儀的演變！ (HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners)
- Rousseau now contrasts favourably with modern mannered people. Rousseau tells us that people living in what he calls the state of nature were, in his eyes, far superior to educated and mannered Parisians. Their manners may have been simple, but they were honest and forthright, without the sins of what he now terms the over-civilised. Rousseau retells the story of civilisation as one of loss and decline, from a primordial state of fresh-faced curiosity, honesty and enthusiasm, to barbarous over-politeness, fakery and deceit. He describes the elaborate French court at Versailles as less civilised than an early human cave. Readers across Europe are astonished, and not a little impressed, by this impudence. For hundreds of years, moralists have been arguing that our natural selves are wild, harmful, over-sexual and dangerous, and that we must learn to tame them for the sake of others. Now Rousseau suggests the diametrical opposite. Civilisation has gone too far, it's our mannered selves that have become the problem, and the task of a properly evolved civilisation is to throw off the chains of manners, to relax us, strip off the etiquette and return to primitive frankness. Rousseau's point continues to echo down to our own times. It is his voice we can hear whenever someone sticks up for the simpler life, and suggests we dress less formally, eat dinner more casually and more readily say whatever is passing through our minds. New York, United States, 1827. A French aristocrat, Alexis de Tocqueville, is on a tour of the young United States in an effort to understand the spirit of a new kind of society, a democracy. He is immediately struck by American manners, or lack thereof. In Europe, reflects de Tocqueville, manners have been codified to emphasise hierarchical differences between people. Ordinary people defer to aristocrats, aristocrats to royalty, and so on. But in the United States, everything is done so as to suggest that there are no differences between people. No one takes off their hat to anyone, a postman can casually greet a judge, a mule driver can strike up cheerful banter with a wealthy merchant, and one cannot tell by someone's clothes whether they might be living in a mansion or a hut. Expressions like how you doing and hi are heard everywhere across the new republic. It could be charming, but the aristocratic de Tocqueville wryly notes a problem. These casual manners do not do away with class and wealth differences. They merely sentimentally disguise them. The manners of old Europe have been accused of being cruel in their stress on hierarchy.
現在，盧梭與現代舉止得體的人形成了鮮明的對比。盧梭告訴我們，在他眼中，生活在他所稱的自然狀態下的人們遠比受過教育、舉止得體的巴黎人優越。他們的舉止或許簡單，但他們誠實、直率，沒有他現在所說的過度文明人的罪惡。盧梭重述了文明的失落和衰落，從最初的好奇、誠實和熱情，到野蠻的過度禮貌、虛假和欺騙。他描繪了凡爾賽宮的精緻法國宮廷，其文明程度還不如人類早期的洞穴。整個歐洲的讀者都為這種厚顏無恥的行為感到震驚，同時也留下了深刻的印象。數百年來，道德家們一直在論證，我們的天性是狂野的、有害的、過度的性慾和危險的，為了他
- These casual manners do not do away with class and wealth differences.
