在其畅销书《The Moral Animal》中,Robert Wright将进化生物学原理应用于人类心智的研究。如今,Wright尝试进行一项更为宏大的探索:解释进化与人类历史的发展方向——并洞察历史下一步将把我们引向何方。在《Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny》中,Wright断言,从原始原浆时代开始,生命就一直遵循着一种基本模式。有机体与人类社会一样,都是通过攻克内部合作的挑战而变得更加复杂的。Wright的叙述跨度极广,从细菌化石到吸血蝙蝠,从

…吃亏在论据全靠道听途说。所有真正影响了我做事方式的书,都远远更偏向于理论和思维框架。我们这帮人搞的小初创公司有三本“圣经”:Robert Wright 的《Nonzero》、Barry Schwartz 的《The Paradox of Choice》,以及 Nassim Taleb 的《Fooled By Randomness》(这本比《高效能人士的七个习惯...》还要道貌岸然,但也确实好得多)。
…suffer from overly anecdotal arguments. All the books that have actually affected the way I do things tend much more towards theory and frameworks of thought. Our little startup has three holy texts: "Nonzero" by Robert Wright, "The Paradox of Choice" by Barry Schwartz, and "Fooled By Randomness" by Nassim Taleb (which is even more sanctimonious than "The Seven Habits...", but a lot better, too).
还有其他人读过 Robert Wright 的《Nonzero》吗?它是显著提升了我对世界认知的两部非虚构作品之一,几乎每天都能让我受益。(另一本是《黑天鹅》。)
Has anyone else read "Nonzero" by Robert Wright? It's one of two nonfiction books that have noticeably improved my understanding of the world, with almost daily benefits. (The other is The Black Swan.)
想看一本通俗易懂、普及“合作压倒竞争 —— 有时候确实如此”这一观点的书,可以看看 Robert Wright 写的《Non-Zero: The Logic of Human Destiny》,链接见 http://www.amazon.com/Nonzero-The-Logic-Human-Destiny/dp/067...(非推广返利链接)。摘自亚马逊上的出版商简介:“在《Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny》中,Wright 断言,自原始浓汤诞生以来,生命就…

让我变得更温暖、更友善、更有同情心/同理心。《Nonzero》把我从一个愤世嫉俗的宿命论者彻底改造成了一个不可救药的乐天派。它的核心观点是:当双赢策略取代赢/输(零和)策略时,人类文明就会向前迈进。《Nonzero: The Logic of Human…
make me warmer, kinder, more sympathetic/empathetic "Nonzero" transmuted me from a cynical fatalist into an unrepentant optimist. The gist is that human culture advances when win/win strategies replace win/lose (zero sum) strategies. Nonzero: The Logic of Human…
我喜欢博弈论视角的切入点。赢家与输家。目前是个零和博弈。我们向往的是充满双赢结果的非零和博弈。很久以前,Robert Wright 倡导这类变革的著作《Nonzero》曾深深影响了我的世界观。https://www.amazon.com/Nonzero-Logic-Destiny-Robert-Wright/d... —— 我是个环保主义者。90 年代的时候,我曾做过志愿者…
I like the game theoretic framing. Winners and losers. Currently a zero sum game. Where we non-zero sum games, filled with win-win outcomes. Robert Wright's book Nonzero, which advocates for these kinds of reforms, deeply influenced my worldview, way back when. https://www.amazon.com/Nonzero-Logic-Destiny-Robert-Wright/d... -- I'm a treehugger. During the 90s, I volunteered…
……而“权利”是让社会运转得更好的实用创新(例如更道德、更大的公共利益)。有点像《文明》这类游戏里的科技树。《The Mystery of Capital》和《Nonzero》这两本书对我影响很大。很好的起点,乐观,而且对多于错。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernando_de_Soto_Polar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wright_(journalist) 直到……
…and "rights" are practical innovations that make society work better (eg more moral, greater public good). Kinda like the tech tree in games like Civilization. The books "The Mystery of Capital" and "Nonzero" influenced me a lot. Good starting points, optimistic, and more right than wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernando_de_Soto_Polar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wright_(journalist) Until…
