对付这种一般人都存在的自负，我所知道的唯一方法，就是提醒我们自己：人类仅是宇宙一角内一个小行星的生命中的一个短暂插曲；宇宙的其他部分可能存在着比我们更高级的生命，就像我们比水母更为高级一样，但对此我们也未可知。

2. The willingness to recognize the value of these newer “unscientific” ways of doing science may be another instance of the human ability to adapt and to survive, of which we spoke earlier.

愿意承认利用这些较新的“非科学的”方法从事科学研究的价值，也许是人类适应能力和生存能力的又一例证，关于这些能力我们前面已经谈到。
