The Bed of Procrustes普罗克鲁斯忒斯的铁床-学及实用格言《黑天鹅》作者的新书 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

In this profound and playful book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world's earliest - and most memorable - literary form. Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. Those who were too tall had their legs chopped off; those who were too short were stretched. Every aphorism here is about a Procrustean bed of sorts - we humans, facing the limits of our knowledge, the unseen and the unknown, resolve the tension by squeezing life and the world into crisp commoditized ideas, reductive categories, specific vocabularies and pre-packaged narratives. Only by embracing the unexpected - and accepting what we don't know - can we see the world as it really is.

思维清晰是勇气的结果，而不是反过来。

绝大多数沉迷于信息-网络-媒体-报纸的人都很难接受，获得智慧的（主要）方法是从头脑中除去垃圾信息。

只有当你可以自由地做任何事情，不需要明显的目的、理由和别人的要求时，你才算是真正存在于这世上。

等到你可以长时间什么都不做，什么都不学习，什么都不改进，而又完全没有负罪感，你就算是变得文明了。

年轻人的智慧跟老人的轻佻一样不讨人喜欢。

如果你可以失去全部财产，用不着为此而变得谦卑，那你才算是地位稳固。

这本书中的所有箴言在某种意义上都与“普罗克拉斯提斯之床”有关--在遇到我们不了解、不清楚的东西时，我们的解决方法是对自己的人生观和世界观进行“拉伸”或者“压缩”，迫使它们符合世俗的、预设的、人为制定的观念、门类和套路。
