再谈"平等"
在 google reader 上看到朋友 share 的一篇 "平等?" ,恰逢周末,可以接下来闲扯几句。
对于所谓民主、自由、平等这些话题,我从来都不愤青。所以在我的 blog 上也看不见此类文章,不是我不敢写、不愿写,而是我觉得那些问题过于复杂,尤其是在读了些许历史之后。上篇 blog 用了 ”平等“ 这个题目,其实不完全是想谈 "平等" 这个概念,是因为我不知道该用什么样的题目表达我的意思。
yeka 写了一篇"通向自由的必经之路——自律——平等" 引述了蒋纬国的一段话,”不论是谁,稍稍有权威后就开始耀武扬威了“ 。其实,未必是"耀武扬威"那么霸道而另人生厌。稍有涵养的人也不会如此。只是有些人表面上和颜悦色、骨子里的独断和自负却是不经意间流露的。这是我想说的:无论人站到了多高,都需要时刻自省,并理性的倾听。
把 "平等" 看成 "自尊" 的需要,稍显浅薄(不好意思,用了个贬义词,希望不要因此引发争议)。让低位者感到 "自尊" 受到侵犯,或者 "自尊" 得到保护,其实存在一样的问题。在对问题的讨论中,自然而然的忽视所谓 "自尊" ,才能回归理性。这也是我上次说的,避免发言者抬杠和钻牛角尖。
人不可能生来平等。但物以类聚、人以群分。能在一起共事(通过客观和相对公正的招聘流程),同事之间其实没有太大的差距。做对事情远没有做错事情容易,所以发现错误远比找到正确的方法需要的经验和知识少的多。具体的事情上,决策者通常只能有一个。决策者应该具有比其他参与者更大的能力是无庸置疑的(虽然实际上并不能完全保证这一点,尤其是在定义 ”能力" 本身就是件很困难的事情),决策者就更不应该以自己要承担更大的责任,考虑更多的方面,来推委、拒绝仔细考虑负面的声音(我指真正认真的思考,而不是表面上的)。
具体在技术问题上,一个有 20 年编程经验的人很难不在一个仅有 5 年编程经验的人面前产生优越感。而正是这种优越感,往往错失纠正错误的机会。即使一个新手提出一个多么可笑的建议,只要经过认真思考、总有内在的逻辑。哪怕亲身证实过是错误的东西,都有可能在重新审视后发现其实是对的。一个人的能力和精力是有限的,事情做的多了,就会转化为一些浅意识的条件反射,而不再去动用逻辑分析。外界的变化却是偷偷进行的,有更多的人帮助思考,是团体进步的源泉。
另一方面,在团体中去权威化,可以帮助团体树立更多的有价值的 "权威" 。面对问题,可以获得多角度的信息。让更多人站的更高,却不同质化,所谓 "君子和而不同" ,这对 "平等" 也是一个正反馈。
"一件事情任何人都可能提出想法,可永远没有人真正为此负责" 不是 "追求平等和民主必须付出的代价" 。恰恰相反,这是只做 "平等" 表面工夫的副产品。表面上的 "平等" 背后,实质上是严重的不平等。"平等" 绝不是指提供一个平台让大家常做做头脑风暴,发牢骚。拍脑门得到的不负责的想法真的会是认真思考过的吗?"平等" 在于对待问题的态度上也是平等的,尽可能的考虑自己能考虑的一切。而不是只有决策者最尽力去考虑。
当一个讨论,真正允许发出各种声音。常常不会给人带来愉悦感。更多的是自己的想法不能完全贯彻的烦闷(不能贯彻的部分,可能无法再被证明是对是错)。居上位者从情感上去迎合对方的 “自尊" ,本身就是极度的不平等了。好比当年刘少奇主席对时传祥说,我是国家主席,你是掏粪工人,这只是分工不同,我们都是人民的勤务员。这反应的是一种平等还是不平等?稍具理性的人一眼就能分辨。
一旦真的把平等写到心里,抛开自己的位置,谁在感情上又能接受自己觉得正确的东西被人反对?这和人的位置无关。可是,把事情做对,少犯错误,提高团体的水平,需要所有人都来承担这个感情上的损失,而不是让部分人得到精神按摩。
