LSD might be the key to China's creativity: NUS prof
Edvantage | Fri Jun 15 2012

SINGAPORE - An Associate Professor from the National University of Singapore, claimed on his personal blog that China should allow its youths to consume hallucinogenic drugs so that they can be creative, reported a local media source.

Associate Professor Shi Yuzhi, a Chinese language and linguistics professor from China then said that he was not encouraging the consumption of drugs but merely discussing the idea from an academic standpoint.

NUS has since responded that it does not endorse the Department of Chinese Studies’ professors views and that it is investigating the matter.

The professor had stated this in relation to Steve Jobs public claims that LSD had a ‘positive life changing experience’ for him.

His views stem from a book that he is currently writing, titled: "Why China cannot produce a Steve Jobs".

To abuse your body for creativity do you think it is worth it?

Like you win the world but loses your soul?

Like that also can be professor?

So narrow minded?

中国可考虑向年轻人适度开放迷幻药 (2012-06-12 19:48:12)
标签： 杂谈


这是一个极度敏感的话题，但是在你反应之前，请冷静地听一下我的理由。这是我写《为什么中国出不了乔布斯》一书中的一个感想，不是哗众取宠，而是一种认真的思考。
中国的大学生的想象力和创造力比较弱，这与他们过于现实、过于物质化不无关系。很多年轻人表现得过于世故、圆滑，已经早早丧失了精神世界的追求。他们感到彷徨、郁闷、甚至痛苦，跟他们摆脱不了物质世界的羁绊不无关系。对此任何空洞的说教都无济于事，但是我们可以从美国的一条不成文的法律和乔布斯的成长过程中得到启示。
在不伤及健康的前提下，允许年轻人服用致幻剂一类的药物，不见得绝对是一件坏事。美国很多州的法律不禁止年轻人服用“致幻剂”这类药，所以大学生们都很容易得到它们。比如，我的一位朋友前两年到加州大学伯克利访学，他与美国学生合租一套房子，每个周末都有一帮美国学生聚会服用这些致幻药狂欢，而且还把这些药物掺在自己制作的饼干中食用。以至于两位中国访问学者误食了这些饼干而送医院急救，因为他们没有食用致幻剂的经历而反应强烈。然而警察是一般不管这些事的，报警也没用。
乔布斯高中时期就开始服用致幻剂，他自己说，这可以帮助他体验巴赫音乐的迷幻般的境界。尔后他继续服用，以至于他到斯坦福大学讲学时，问学生的一个问题是“你们服用过迷幻药吗？”乔布斯是这样描写致幻剂对他的重大作用的：

“使用迷幻药是一段意义非凡的经历，也是我一生中最重要的事情之一。迷幻药让你看到硬币的另一面，当药效退之后你就记不清楚了，但你知道有这么回事。它让我更清楚什么是重要的——创造伟大的发明，而不是赚钱。应该尽我所能，用此生给人类的历史留下痕迹。”


乔布斯一出生就被弃养的经历一直折磨着他，致幻剂就是他摆脱现实痛苦的一种方式。如果没有致幻剂的帮助，社会上可能多了一个自怨自艾的流星，而世界则少了一个科技大师。
对此，我们这个社会是否可以有一点宽容和理解？比如，当我们听说某个明星或者富豪吸食致幻剂的时候，能不能不要马上与邪恶、道德败坏联系在一起？一个歌星服用过迷幻药，是不是就要对他进行封杀？
如果这不是一个公开讨论的问题，起码也是一个值得深思的现象。一个社会的宽容度是大师产生的必要社会环境。

LSD too potent lah....
Weed enough liao to get the juice flowing

From an academic standpoint, in additon to being creative, taking LSD could also cause his students to hallucinate and think that he is the devil, thereby making them want to kill him.
No wonder they say that ah tiong land is the land of the extremes, for every brilliant guy u get, u also get one moron.

 

[NinZhorKong]

Most musicians and artists in the west are into drugs. Basically, the process of stoning out feeds them with ample hallucinations and visions from which they derive their creativity.

 

[Cruxx]

Gong jiao wei. There's no empirical evidence that LSD enhances creativity. Steve Jobs had an Arab father. Therefore, to promote creativity, we need to encourage Chinese women to copulate with Arab men
