这是一本科普著作,不是科幻小说。 这里的“机器人”其实就是指人类,作者把人类看作“基因的机器”,把生物学的机制,看作是一种机械的、固化的规则,而人就是被这种规则控制的机器。某种程度上,这本著作,可以看作是道金斯的《自私的基因》的后继篇章。 这本书读得比较别扭...
评分这本书对我来说非常有启发性,斯坦诺维奇在这本书中提出了一个完整的主题,正是我平时考虑问题常常涉及但从未形成完整概念的。即使斯坦诺维奇有意犯把基因拟人化的错误,我也还打算原谅他,可是他得寸进尺,竟然说基因“are happy for the survival machine to fall apart in w...
评分雌掘地蜂为了产卵和孵化后代,会做很多有趣的事情。首先,挖一个洞穴;然后,飞出去寻找蟋蟀,当她找到合适的对象,就会刺入其身体,把它麻痹之后带回洞穴,放在洞穴口;其次,她进入洞穴检查,确保一切安全后,将蟋蟀拖到洞穴里。最后,她产卵于洞穴中,密封起来飞走,当卵孵...
评分好多年前,开复的「Follow your heart」是句很迷人的话,在年轻人心中种下了一颗种子,在很多场合都会有人以「追随你的直觉」、「做你想做的」进行友好的忠告。后来开复的这些言论受到了持续的质疑,觉得这些言论在逻辑上如此漏洞百出。客观地讲,开复是个非常优秀的人,在行业...
评分大部分学科在达尔文提出演化论之后都受其影响,演化思想如同万能酸,影响了除数理化之外的所有科学,进化经济学、进化心理学、进化社会学、进化医学。 基因一代代复制下来,我们则是基因的载体、他们暂时居住的生存机器。基因关注他们能否复制,而不关注对载体最优的结果,我们...

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.
