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.

1. 思维清晰是勇气的结果，而不是反过来。 2. 傻瓜认为自己是特殊的，别人都是普遍的；聪明人认为自己是普遍的，别人都是特殊的。 3. 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。 4. 愚人的陷阱是，你会关注你知道而别人...
评分知识、优雅、勇气的组合。 虽然我一直记不住作者的名字，可以这本小书却是我近两年来读到的“说话最够劲”的书。都是警句，读起来也不费劲。 除了少数句子有点绕口之外，都是有趣的话语。译者也有非凡的功力。我注意到往往是逗号后面的那半句产生神奇的效果。这是一种写作技...

评分简直就是好书，2年前第一次看，没看出什么感觉，觉着也就一般，一堆名言警句的凭什么卖这么贵。 2年后今天再次翻，完全碉堡，三观的革新，其实，最近一年，一直在路上，这本书是标志最终革新的确认。而且名言的精炼也很适合白羊座的悟性高的我。 想起上一次革新三观的阅读体验...
用户评价
Black swan比起来这个算个吊。
评分故弄玄虚，不知所谓。
评分常读可使人精神焕发。
评分好书，摘一句 - ”You will be civilized on the day you can spend a long period doing nothing, learning nothing, and improving nothing, without feeling the slightest amount of guilt.“
评分第一本完整读完的英文书——其实连小册子也算不上，只是一本语录集。Taleb的aphorism颇有江湖气，读来足以畅怀。有些话虽比较刻薄或刻意，但反常规的思维值得借鉴。
