In this profound and playful book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world's earliest - and most memorable - literary form. Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. Those who were too tall had their legs chopped off; those who were too short were stretched. Every aphorism here is about a Procrustean bed of sorts - we humans, facing the limits of our knowledge, the unseen and the unknown, resolve the tension by squeezing life and the world into crisp commoditized ideas, reductive categories, specific vocabularies and pre-packaged narratives. Only by embracing the unexpected - and accepting what we don't know - can we see the world as it really is.

評分我先引用書裏麵的一句話——“聰明人能容忍彆人的小缺陷,但不能容忍彆人嚴重的自相矛盾;弱者能容忍彆人嚴重的自相矛盾,但不能容忍彆人的小缺陷”。(P95) 但恕我直言,作者自己就給自己打臉瞭。作者序言部分提到“普羅剋拉斯提斯之床”的概念,意圖錶明“遇到我們不瞭...
評分 評分去年年底買瞭塔勒布的《反脆弱》,看完驚為天人,又反復看瞭二遍,還一發不可收拾,把他的係列書籍都搜羅來看。個人覺得他是當代少有的聰明人之一。 塔勒布齣生於黎巴嫩,曾外祖父和外祖父都是著名的外交傢,分彆在巴黎和美國拿到碩士和博士學位,精通多門外語。30歲靠著在金融...
