If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves. . . . There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.
如果一个工厂被拆除了，但是产生它的理性依然存在，那么理性只会产生另一个工厂。如果一场革命摧毁了一个政府，但是产生这个政府的系统思维模式却完好无损，那么这些思维模式就会重复出现。关于这个系统有太多的讨论。却很少有人理解。
