The Bed of Procrustes pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB is an essayist, belletrist, & researcher only interested in one single topic, chance (particularly extreme & rare events, the "Black Swans" i.e. outliers); but it falls at the intersection of philosophy/epistemology (skepticism; knowledge about the dynamics of history; inferential claims), philosophy/ethics (stoicism facing random events; theories of nonhedonic happiness), mathematical sciences (probability theory, statistical physics), social science/finance (opacity & incomplete information in economics), and cognitive science (the mental biases making us "fooled" by randomness). He mainly derives his intuitions from a 2-decade long and intense practice of derivatives trading ("nondull" activities with plenty of randomness).

By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses his major ideas in ways you least expect.
The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology: the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs. It represents Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects—modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs, defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and convincing people that employment is not slavery.
Playful and irreverent, these aphorisms will surprise you by exposing self-delusions you have been living with but never recognized.
With a rare combination of pointed wit and potent wisdom, Taleb plows through human illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance, and erudition against the modern diseases of nerdiness, philistinism, and phoniness.

读后感
咬文嚼字的哲学家 虽然有时悲观 却也用俏皮话说出真相 语录是从原书中抽离的 所以不能够很好的体会到原本更深层的意思 但 只是读语录 就不禁想要赞叹作者的精辟见解 原书定是充满了智慧的灵光 读的过程有深思也有大笑 有的句子忍不住读出声来 写的太有哲理 读上一遍又...
评分本书的重点是普罗克拉斯提斯之床也就是削足适履的哲言。重点阐述了现代社会对人的限制，并认为这对天才造成了损失，也让人变得迟钝。 同时作者对天才做出了定义，具有很难被模仿的缺陷的人。认为削足适履后的才叫文明。 这让我想到了中国，百家争鸣的时代是天才辈出，而独尊儒...
评分“普洛克拉斯提斯之床”——更改人的身长去符合床的尺寸——遇见未知时，我们往往选择了错误的变量去加以更改。 让我们先不对知识进行归类，让框架保持弹性，而不是将不确定的事物硬塞进我们已知已有的框架里。 创造我们的普洛克拉斯提斯之床吧~ 我们只需要想象——我们生存的...
评分去年年底买了塔勒布的《反脆弱》，看完惊为天人，又反复看了二遍，还一发不可收拾，把他的系列书籍都搜罗来看。个人觉得他是当代少有的聪明人之一。 塔勒布出生于黎巴嫩，曾外祖父和外祖父都是著名的外交家，分别在巴黎和美国拿到硕士和博士学位，精通多门外语。30岁靠着在金融...
评分一个个简短的格言组成，有的格言细细品味很深刻，有的内容很贴近生活，但是有的语句我至今也没有明白。里面有一些句子希望和度过此书的朋友一起探讨。 比如“如果有人给你好几个理由说明他为什么想得到这份工作，不要雇佣他。”这句话，和生活很贴近，面试时自己也曾经有这样的...

名言录而已
评分警句真的很多。比想象得好。
评分#微書評#The author Taleb wrote that we find it to be extremely bad taste for individuals to boast of their accomplishments; but when countries do so we call it 'national pride'.
评分名言录而已
评分作为Taleb的粉丝，我依然觉得鸡肋
