Humans have built hugely complex societies and technologies, but most of us don’t even know how a pen or a toilet works. How have we achieved so much despite understanding so little? Cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach argue that we survive and thrive despite our mental shortcomings because we live in a rich community of knowledge. The key to our intelligence lies in the people and things around us. We’re constantly drawing on information and expertise stored outside our heads: in our bodies, our environment, our possessions, and the community with which we interact—and usually we don’t even realize we’re doing it.
The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic. We have mastered fire, created democratic institutions, stood on the moon, and sequenced our genome. And yet each of us is error prone, sometimes irrational, and often ignorant. The fundamentally communal nature of intelligence and knowledge explains why we often assume we know more than we really do, why political opinions and false beliefs are so hard to change, and why individually oriented approaches to education and management frequently fail. But our collaborative minds also enable us to do amazing things. This book contends that true genius can be found in the ways we create intelligence using the world around us.
这本书讲的知识错觉,可能我们每个人都可能遇到,我们很多时候自以为什么都懂、什么都会的东西,在实际输出或用到的时候,而我们知之甚少,从2个方面讲到我们通常会碰到的问题,一方面从我们人脑的特点去分析,为什么我们大脑在碰到复杂的问题不愿意去深究,是因为我们的大脑特...
评分人类是知识共同体,个体的无知,不要放大个人的作用又需要肯定简单叙述的必要性。有点明白人为什么喜欢找因果关系,即便静下来思考下可以轻易推翻的因果。很多时候我们是由结果推原因,什么乱七八糟都能搭上关系,尤其用数字统计那一套。无知不可避免,而且生活的大多数时候人...
评分大多数人都会高估个人的理解力,产生知识的错觉,但我们其实是依赖集体的智慧思考和行动的。 大多数的知识其实是在外部的世界里,在别人的脑子里,通过调用外界的知识来形成协作,这种调用太方便,以至于我们总是觉得自己无所不知,活在知识的错觉里。(但其实人也掌握不了那么...

核心观点是很好的。然而实在说不上写得多好,提一个论点,然后堆一堆相关也好不相关也罢的老生常谈的例子。
评分Be humble, admit we don't know a lot about what we don't know.

评分其实只读首两章或最后的结论已经足够。作者解答了人为什么会有知识错觉后,本来期望他会结合这两三个因素,继续扩展范围或往下探索更深层的原因,或起码更宏观地展现整个脉络。可惜什么都没有,他只是不断重复那几个因素在不同领域的体现,内容相当琐碎,一直只是作同一层次的水平移动,没有任何纵深的探索。整个就是一般畅销书的写作手法。读到一半已感相当乏味,内容耳熟能详并不要紧,只要crossover做得好,手上的材料运用得当,老套也能产出新意。这本书最大问题是,内容太中规中矩,没有创见也缺乏启发性。若然你已经读过类似内容的书籍,就不要浪费时间读这本书了。
评分立个flag,这周末写书评(大概率我还是跟男友窝在沙发上看电视两天根本不会看电脑(但是还是要立flag(美好的愿景是要有的……
