The idea that we might be robots is no longer the stuff of science fiction; decades of research in evolutionary biology and cognitive science have led many esteemed thinkers and scientists to the conclusion that, following the precepts of universal Darwinism, humans are merely the hosts for two replicators (genes and memes) that have no interest in us except as conduits for replication. Accepting and now forcefully responding to this disturbing idea that precludes the possibilities of morality or free will, among other things, Keith Stanovich here provides the tools for the "robot's rebellion," a program of cognitive reform necessary to advance human interests over the limited interest of the replicators. He shows how concepts of rational thinking from cognitive science interact with the logic of evolution to create opportunities for humans to structure their behavior to serve their own ends. These evaluative activities of the brain, he argues, fulfill the need that we have to ascribe significance to human life. Only by recognizing ourselves as robots, argues Stanovich, can we begin to construct a concept of self based on what is truly singular about humans: that they gain control of their lives in a way unique among life forms on Earth - through rational self-determination.
本书的观点很清晰:基因和模因控制了个体,我们应该使用理性认知来摆脱这种状态。不过内容是在是太啰嗦了,本来想给两星,考虑到确实对自己有一些启发,加一星写篇书评。 基因哪里来? 从耗散系统的角度,在受到外界扰动的情况下,只有具有稳定点的系统才可能保留自身的特性。...
评分自从进入这个工作岗位以来 感觉很久很久没有读书了 也没有写书评了 这都不是我了 很不喜欢这样的感觉 我想要更加自己一些 就像本书的内容一样 我的身体成为了载体 承载着那些原本不属于自己的事物 而真正想要的还不知道在什么时候能够达成 本书主要是想颠覆一下基因与载体 也就...
评分你可以把这本书看作理查·道金斯《自私的基因》的延续。确切地说,是这一段话的展开:“我们具备足够的力量去抗拒我们那些与生俱来的自私基因......我们是作为基因机器而被建造的,是作为觅母机器而被培养的,但我们具备足够的力量去反对我们的缔造者。在这个世界上,只有我们...
评分 评分诚如标题所言,《机器人叛乱》一书因为充斥着大量学术用语、试验案例以及延伸阅读,使得如我这样,毫无进化心理学背景的普通读者读得泪流满面,所以读书笔记不打算再次引用阐述,而是从我自己身上的这两个社会标签来解读本书对我的影响。 之前在一次投资主题的分享会上,我说...
