The Bed of Procrustes pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載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.

讀後感
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...
評分——by木木勺 我记得第一次接触人生格言这个词，是在小学上了几年但认字还不多的时候，当时觉得人生格言真是神奇，好像只要找到了它就找到了一辈子的指南针和行为规范。那时候同学们之间经常相互交流，你的人生格言是什么啊？每听到一个特别唬人的就记在本子上，因为写作文的...
評分我喜欢装帧精美的书，也许是因为我是个女生。思想的深度需要慢慢积累，16岁，看米兰昆德拉的书几页就放下了，我期待自己的长大，期待不是因为翻译和语言的差异而不能领悟其中。19岁，终于看懂了纳博科夫的Lolita, 看清，只是时间的问题，只是我们需要慢慢长大，不急不躁。期待T...
評分 評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...

魔鬼詞典。。。。。。
评分wise words...
评分有點像《沉思錄》，全篇充滿作者各種短小精煉的感悟。這得看讀者喜歡不喜歡這樣的格式。我更喜歡附有一大段闡釋的精句，比較好消化。
评分好書，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.“
评分常讀可使人精神煥發。
