中新社纽约10月10日电美国麻省理工学院10日公开拒绝特朗普政府的一项提议，该提议要求部分大学签 署包含特定条款的协议以换取联邦资金的优先使用权。 当天，麻省理工学院在其网站上公布了校长莎莉·科恩布鲁斯致美国教育部部长的信。科恩布鲁斯在信 中指出，特朗普政府提议的协议内容包含麻省理工学院不认同的价值观和原则，比如限制言论自由和机 构独立性。从根本上说，这份协议的前提与麻省理工学院的核心信念相悖。科学资助应当仅以科研价值 为依据。 据《纽约时报》报道，麻省理工学院是第一所拒绝特朗普政府"签协议换拨款"提议的大学。这份协议此 前已被发往美国九所大学，包括亚利桑那大学、布朗大学、达特茅斯学院、宾夕法尼亚大学、南加州大 学等。 报道说，这份协议包含的特定条款包括，要求限制国际本科生入学比例、冻结学生学费五年、在招聘员 工和录取学生时禁止考虑种族和性别因素、禁止任何"贬低"保守思想的行为等。 美联社报道说，特朗普政府要求这些大学在10月20日前作出答复。目前，亚利桑那大学所在的图森市市 长和市议会反对该校签署协议，弗吉尼亚大学领导层表示协议中某些条款"极难接受"。 自今年1月特朗普重返白宫以来，美国政府以"反犹主义"指 ...

据了解，凡是认为房地产市场前景不景气、房价走势下降、不建议大家现在和以后买房的这些言论，都被部分地 方政府以及行业协会，视为"唱空"房地产市场的行为，他们认为，这种消极言论，其可能会加剧房地产市场的恐 慌情绪，让老百姓持币观望，导致商品住宅的滞销，影响房地产市场的稳定。 但很多人不明白，这种整治"唱空"楼市的言论，究竟是维护房地产市场还是压制舆论？对此，呈现出两种截然不 同的观点。支持者认为，房地产市场，是一个高度依赖信心的市场，过度悲观或夸大的言论，可能会引发非理性 的市场行为，例如恐慌性抛售或观望情绪加剧，进而影响商品住宅的销售，影响房地产市场的稳定。特别是在当 前经济下行压力较大的情况下，房地产市场的稳定，对于地方政府的财政收入、金融体系的稳定乃至整体经济的 发展，都有着重要的影响。因此，规范市场言论、打击虚假信息或恶意唱空行为，是维护市场秩序的必要手段。 近期，不少城市相继出手整治"唱空"楼市的言论，引发社会的广泛关注。9月30日，北京市房地产中介行业协会， 在发布的倡议中明确提出："不唱衰做空市场"、"禁止恶意压价"等要求。而更早的9月9日，黑龙江省哈尔滨市房 地产经纪行业协会，则直接对自媒体"房老 ...

大西洋月刊最近发表了一篇文章，《美国的僵尸民主》，揭示了另一幅图景：民主的外壳依旧存在，但 内部已经被权力、冷漠与技术掏空。选举仍在进行，却不再公平；法院还在运作，却往往迎合权力；媒 体并未沉默，却因恐惧和收买而逐渐失声。 冷战时期，西方世界以美国为代表的民主制度，甚至被描绘成与极权主义截然对立的文明高地。对于很 多天朝群众而言，"美式民主"也曾是一个充满想象力的参照物：那里有自由的大学讲堂、批判性的媒 体、独立的司法与充满活力的公共辩论。 然而，今非昔比，时过境迁。 美国的公民社会在表面上延续，但实际上如同"僵尸"般苟延残喘。这种"看似正常"的威权主义比传统的 极权更危险，因为它让人难以察觉自由的流失。 更严重的是，人工智能的迅速发展与这种趋势交织在一起。AI不仅重塑了人们获取信息和理解世界的 方式，还可能进一步削弱了人们的独立思考、公共参与和人性深度。 当政治威权与技术霸权结合在一起，民主制度就不再是抵御专制的盾牌，而可能蜕变为维持控制的工 具。 对很多有心人来说，这种转变不仅仅是"美国的危机"。它意味着那个曾经被寄予厚望的民主灯塔，也正 在失去光芒；也意味着人类社会发展的一场整体危机。 也许我们应该重新 ...
