最近好几次在对话里,见到类似的思路。譬如

:你不用担心瓶盖的密封是不是靠谱,泡在洪水里是否受污染。这个工艺已经很成熟了,制造商都在卷。如果某一家做的不靠谱,被人发现了,它家自然会倒闭的。所以大家都会靠谱的。

又或者

:手游公司肯定会出这个角色的,毕竟很多人想要。公司要赚钱的啊。

这样的思路并不难反驳,譬如

  • 把群体趋势和个体行为混淆;
  • 监管都未必能保障的事,「用脚投票」就能做到?
  • 大环境下,是否所有人都以「赚钱」为目的?

但我更关心的,不是这些话题本身是什么答案,而是,说话的人,是怎样不暇思索地,用这种新自由主义的思路,来解决问题的?——或者说,潜意识里以为祭起了这个思路,就可以解决问题的?

毕竟,在这种思路的对话里,近期给我印象最深的是——

:我们(在上海疫情封城期间)过的很好啊。毕竟,只要小区物业想赚钱,他们终归会想方设法提供各种服务,把我们照顾好的啊。
