“德国科学家兼文人Georg Christoph Lichtenberg是18世纪的一位博学家：他既是实验物理学家、天文学家、数学家，也是艺术与文学评论家。然而，他最为人称道的，是在被他称为Waste Books的笔记中所随手记录的随感与格言。凭借着永不衰竭的才智与包罗万象的好奇心，Lichtenberg诙谐地戳破了学界与社会的虚饰，探讨了诸多哲学议题，并顺着幽微的思维脉络追踪自己的思绪，得出了令人不安却又往往令人捧腹的结论。Lic

这个问题由来已久且极其普遍，连伊拉斯谟这样的人都评论过。历代知识分子写的“废品簿”（waste books）如今依然存在，其中最绝的一部当属利希滕贝格的。我自己备了个小笔记本，甚至连我的主力笔记本里都有零散的标为“碎片”的页面，用来实现……
This problem is so old and so common that people like Erasmus have commented on it. "Waste books" written by intellectuals throughout the ages still exist, one of the finest is Lichtenberg's. I keep a little notebook and even my main notebook has scattered pages labeled "fragments" that accomplish…

Emerson couldn't write the way he wrote – his essays are stuff from his notebooks of many years stuck together. This Book is my Savings…
利希滕贝格的“废品簿”里有句话大意是：“如果大家只做必需的事，那得有几千万人饿死？”我们 HN 上的这帮人，有多少是在真正“必需”的机构里工作？FAANG 的世界里又有多少比例是必需的？
There is a line somewhere in Lichtenberg's Waste Books running roughly "If only the necessary were done, how many millions would starve to death?" How many of us on HN are in necessary establishments? What portion of the FAANG world is necessary?
