…place. I was exploring some existential stuff. I probably could have benefited from talking to a transpersonal psychologist. These were three books that stuck out in my mind from that time: Ken Wilbur's Brief History of Everything (this is Wilber's Integral Philosophy, and helped me know there are some framework to put seemingly competing paradigms and views into a coherent whole, as well as a few philosophical techniques to get…
…couple sermons from a book per week. Hey had incomes from local farms and lots and lots of education and free time. A good introductory to this and the history of western science is Bill Bryson’s ‘a brief history of everything’and the one he edited on the Royal Society. Some of course were deeply religious, it I think it’s correct to treat their Christianity as incidental. I dont know if it’s the same with the ‘islamic’ scholars.…
……很喜欢的书：*《I Drink For a Reason》——非常搞笑 *《哈佛幸福课》（Stumbling on Happiness，听起来像成功学鸡汤，但实际上是本绝佳的书，讲的是我们无法预知自己未来在特定情境下的感受）*《万物简史》（A Brief History of Everything）——一个接一个酷炫的故事 *《童兵走出炼狱》（A Long Way Gone）——读来令人揪心，但让人大开眼界 *《Getting Unstuck》——佩玛·丘卓的佛教演讲 *《天生就会跑》（Born to Run）——很棒很刺激的故事。有时候……
…enjoyed: * I Drink For a Reason - very funny * Stumbling on Happiness (sounds self helpy but is actually a great book on our inability to predict how we will feel about situations in the future) * A Brief History of Everything - one cool story after another * A Long Way Gone, Memoirs of a Boy Soldier - hard to bear, but eye-opening * Getting Unstuck - buddhist talk by Pema Chodron * Born to Run - great, exciting story. Sometimes…
…baccalaureate. Basically this essay is correct. Science is taught the wrong way. It should all be a mix of history (of thought) and experiments that guided that thinking. Something like that Bill Bryson book, a brief history of everything. Instead of telling kids the end result, tell them how we got there. Basically, follow the method that you say you use. If you understand science, you know the end result is tentative anyway. Speaking…
现在对克雷伯氏循环这种“我们已知的事实”关注过多，因为这种东西太好出题考试了。关注点其实应该放在“我们是怎么发现的”上面，类似《万物简史》这本书梳理的脉络。比如“我们是如何利用不同质量的同位素搞清楚 DNA 中磷的相关特性的”。总的来说，脱离了历史脉络，那些“既成结论”根本毫无意义。我们当初到底为什么要去寻找……
There's too much focus on the "what we know" like Kreb's cycle, which is easily examinable. The focus should actually be "how we found out", something like what the book A Brief History of Everything traces out. Things like "we used isotopes with different masses to figure out this thing about phosphorous in DNA". In general, the "what" makes no sense without the history. Why were we searching for…
肯·威尔伯（Ken Wilber）的《万物简史》（A Brief History of Everything）。我觉得威尔伯把物理学融入进来的做法会引起 HN 网友的共鸣。
A Brief History of Everything - Ken Wilber I think Wilber's inclusion of physics would resonate with HNers.
……状态。我当时在琢磨一些存在主义层面的东西。找个超个人心理学家聊聊本该对我有好处的。那段时间有三本书在我脑海里挥之不去：肯·威尔伯的《万物简史》（这是威尔伯的大全息哲学，它让我明白原来存在某种框架，能把看似相互冲突的范式和观点整合成一个融贯的整体，书中还提供了一些哲学技巧来……

……每周从书里读几篇布道文。他们有当地农场的收入，受过大量教育，还有大把闲暇时间。想了解这段背景以及西方科学史的话，比尔·布莱森的《万物简史》以及他为英国皇家学会编辑的那本书是很不错的入门读物。当然，他们中有些人非常虔诚，但我认为把他们的基督教信仰视为偶然背景才是正确的看法。我不知道那些“伊斯兰”学者是不是也这样。……

……学士学位。基本上这篇随笔说得很对。科学教法完全错了。应该把它教成思想史与引导该思考的实验的结合体。就像比尔·布莱森的那本《万物简史》一样。与其直接告诉孩子们最终结论，不如告诉他们我们是如何走到这一步的。基本上就是遵循你说你在用的那个方法。只要你懂科学，你就知道最终结论无论如何都是暂定的。说起……
