为什么值得读

  • 用荒诞情节揭示严密逻辑也能被操纵
  • 以缺失大脑的机器人比喻人类认知盲区

在《Hitchhiker》系列的第五卷中,Arthur Dent 的女儿 Random 离开了她位于宇宙边缘的偏远母星,展开了一场跨越银河系的史诗之旅,以寻找她祖先的母星。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 也许终局会像《银河系漫游指南》最后一部《基本上无害》(Mostly Harmless)里写的那样:> 任何靠逻辑思考的东西,都能被另一个至少同样具备逻辑思维的东西所愚弄。想要愚弄一个纯逻辑机器人,最简单的办法就是喂给它同样的刺激……

    Perhaps the end state is going to be from the last Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, Mostly Harmless: > Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does. The easiest way to fool a completely logical robot is to feed it with the same stimulus…

  • ……只能从机器人们显然掉进了洞里这一事实,倒推洞确实存在,顺便它们还带走了它的备用大脑——要是有了那个大脑,它本该能看到那个洞的。——道格拉斯·亚当斯《基本上无害》(Mostly Harmless)换句话说:当某人认知中的漏洞,恰恰缺少了能让他意识到“这里有个大漏洞”所必需的认知时,这种致命漏洞就会带来长期的灾难。一个人可能能够……

    …could only deduce the existence of the hole from the fact that the robots had clearly fallen out of it, taking its spare brain - which would have enabled it to see the hole - with them. - Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless To wit: gaping holes in one's understanding can be chronically problematic when what should be in the gaping hole includes that which lets one know that there is, in fact, a gaping hole. One may be capable…

  • 这篇新闻让我想起了道格拉斯·亚当斯的书《基本上无害》的开头部分。

    This news article reminds me of the beginning of the book "Mostly Harmless" by Douglas Adams.

  • 我明显觉得这个系列在《生命、宇宙以及一切》之后水平断崖式下跌。《再见,谢谢所有的鱼》有点东拉西扯,而《基本无害》纯粹就是压抑,作为全系列结局烂透了。所以我的个人建议是看到第三本就收手。

    I definitely felt like the series dropped off hard after Life, The Universe, And Everything. So Long And Thanks For All The Fish was kind of meandering, and Mostly Harmless was just plain depressing and a terrible ending for the series. So my personal advice would be to stop after the third book.

  • ……成了大家习以为常去围观欢呼的常态,因为心里清楚地球迟早总会以某种方式重新蹦出来(甚至道格拉斯·亚当斯为了让出版商闭嘴别再催续集,在《基本上无害》结尾把整个多元宇宙里所有现实中的地球全给炸了,随后自己还撒手人寰了,都没能阻止别人又写了一部续作——Eoin Colfer 的《还有一件事……》;出人意料的是……

    …regular event to cheer on safe in the knowledge earth will pop back into existence somehow sooner or later (even Douglas Adams attempt at getting his publisher to shut up about another sequel by ending Mostly Harmless with the destruction of Earth in every reality in the entire multiverse and then going ahead and dying on us didn't stop another sequel from being written ("And another thing..." by Eoin Colfer; surprisingly…

  • 这立刻让我想起了道格拉斯·亚当斯在《基本上无害》(五部曲中的第四本)里的一句引用:“眼前那些可去的星球看起来相当凄凉。它们对他没什么吸引力,因为他也拿不出什么能给它们。意识到这一点,他感到极其沮丧……

    This immediately reminded me of a quote from Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams (4th in the trilogy of 5): "The available worlds looked pretty grim. They had little to offer him because he had little to offer them. He had been extremely chastened to realize that…
