Abstract
There are two ways to boil a frog alive. One is to boil the water first and then drop the frog into boiling water — the frog will jump out from the immediate crisis. The other is to put the frog in cold water and then gradually heat the water until it boils — the frog will not realize that it is now in a creeping crisis. As far as the frog is concerned, the creeping crisis is even more dangerous because the frog loses its chance to make a move that could save its life.
