1Well, thanks for joining me in the ball.谢谢你加入我
2Thank you for having me.谢谢你邀请我
3Let's talk about the four strands of the fabric of reality, theory of epistemology, evolution我们来谈谈现实结构的四条线 认识论 进化论
4of a natural selection, quantum theory, and computation.自然选择 量子理论和计算
5Before we get into the specifics of each one, what do these four theories broadly offer在我们了解每个理论的具体细节之前 这四个理论能提供什么
6to the average person, and why should they care about incorporating each one into their以及他们为什么要关心 将每个人纳入他们的
7worldviews?世界观?
8所以我不会贬低David Deutsch的
9This is not my original contribution in any way, but he sort of wanted to have a theory这不是我最初的贡献 但他想有一个理论
10of everything.所有东西。
11He wanted to understand everything that could be understood, not in the sense of where every他想了解一切可以被理解的事物 而不是从每个
12particle in the world ends up or what's going to happen, but just the underlying explanation世界上的粒子 最终还是会发生什么 但只是背后的解释
13to the best of our knowledge as to what was causative or how it happened.以我们所知的 原因或事情的发生方式
14And he landed upon these four theories as being the deepest strands.他把这四个理论当作最深层的理论
15They have the furthest reach, so the most applicability.它们最远,所以最适用。
16They have the deepest, most underlying explanations at the right level, not just purely at the他们有最深,最基本的解释 在正确的层次, 不只是在
17level of particles hitting each other, but at the level where you can actually use it粒子互相撞击的水平,但是在可以实际使用的水平上
18in everyday life.在日常生活中,
19And then I think if you were to talk to David, or if you were to read his books carefully,然后我想如果你要和大卫说话 或者仔细阅读他的书
20you would realize that even splitting these into four theories is kind of splitting hairs.你会意识到,即使把这些 分成四个理论 是一种分裂的头发。
21Because knowledge is a crystal, it's a single thing.因为知识是水晶,它就是一个单一的东西.
22Nature hath no boundaries, as the famous saying goes.自然没有边界,正如著名的谚语所说。
23And everything connects to everything.而一切众生与一切相通.
24It's a nature of creativity you can get from A to Z, not just from A to B to C.这是一种创造力的性质,你可以从A到Z,而不只是从A到B到C.
25You don't have to pass every point in between in idea space to get from one idea to another.你不必在思想空间之间 传递每一个点 来从一个想法到另一个想法。
26So these are deeply intermeshed.因此,这些是深层的。
27And what I find fascinating about his work is that understanding any one of these theories我发现他的作品令人着迷的是 能理解其中任何一个理论
28not only helps you in that theory, not only actually helps you in everyday life, in some不仅有助于你的理论, 不仅实际上帮助你的日常生活, 在一些
29cases, not all, but they also connect to each other in very deep and interesting ways.并不是所有的案例,但它们也以非常深刻和有趣的方式相互连接。
30And so it's one of those worldviews that has to be absorbed as a whole.因此,世界观必须被整体吸收。
31Although even calling it a worldview is doing it a disservice, because a worldview is often虽然它甚至称它为世界观 这样做是有害的, 因为世界观往往是
32just an opinion.只是一个意见。
33Whether I'm a communist or a capitalist or a Democrat or a Republican, these are worldviews.无论我是一个共产主义者,一个资本主义者,一个民主党人,还是一个共和党人,这些都是世界观.
34But these are grounded in our best theories in physics, mathematics, computation, evolution,但是这些是建立在 我们最好的理论 在物理,数学,计算,进化,
35biology, et cetera.生物学等.
36And so economics, philosophy, sociology, politics, whatever.所以经济,哲学,社会学,政治,等等。
37But so to contradict a piece of what you're saying and what he's saying in one place often但为了反驳你说的话 和他经常在一个地方说的话
38means that you have to then go ahead and explain something that you thought was unrelated,意思是,你必须去解释一些你认为无关的东西,
39but is actually deeply related and say, well, then how do you explain that?但实际上有很深的亲缘关系,说, 那么,你怎么解释呢?
40So I find his worldview is a framework and it's a framework that's rooted in fundamentals我发现他的世界观是一个框架,它是一个根植于基本原理的框架
41and sciences, which is not to say it's impossible to challenge.和科学,这并不是说 这是不可能挑战。
42One should always feel free to challenge any part of it.人们应该永远自由地挑战其中的任何部分。
43It's just the way to challenge it is to have a better theory, not just to say, well, that这只是挑战的方法 是有一个更好的理论, 不只是说,嗯,
44doesn't quite work because, well, that explains something and then there are other things不太有效,因为,嗯, 这解释了一些东西,然后还有其他的东西
45that explain that thing and there are other things that that explains.也还有别的事可以解释
46So you have to look at it as a web.故须视其为网.
47And it's hard to absorb that.这很难吸收
48It's hard to take that from another person, especially when your ego steps in the way很难从另一个人那里夺走, 特别是当你的自我 踏入了道路
49and says, well, how did this guy figure it all out?并说,嗯, 这家伙是怎么想出来的?
50So I think if you remove the person from the theories, you have to read both of his books,所以我想如果你把当事人从理论中删除 你必须读他的两本书
51I would argue, and you would have to absorb them fairly well.我会争吵,你必须好好吸收他们
52It's not a small endeavor.这不是一个小努力。
53But on the other hand, it can give you a framework for better reasoning and better thinking that但另一方面,它可以给你一个框架 更好的推理和更好的思考
54can make you smarter.让你更聪明
55There are not a lot of things in this world that can make you smarter.世界上没有什么东西可以让你更聪明。
56Is that how you pitch Nohich's books to people unfamiliar with his work?你就这样把诺希奇的书 投给不熟悉他工作的人?
57Yeah, I don't really even care about pitching, but yes, that is how I describe it.是啊,我甚至不关心投球, 但是,是的,这就是我如何描述它。
58I would say that it's the only thing that I can point to in my adult life that has improved我会说,这是我唯一 能指出 在我成年生活 改善
59my thinking, decision making and fundamental outlook.我的思想、决策和基本展望
60Now, there are other people who have been incredibly influential.现在,还有其他人, 他们有惊人的影响力。
61There was a time when I went through Nassim Taleb's work, for example, and I found it有段时间,我通过纳西姆·塔莱布的作品 例如,我发现
62very useful.很有用处
63So it's not to say it's the only useful thing out there.所以这不是说这是唯一有用的东西。
64But I think his framework has the deepest explanations and the furthest reach.但我认为,他的框架有最深刻的解释和最远的范围。
65So you will find yourself applying it all over the place.所以,你会发现自己应用 到处。
66That said, I think it's a mistake to apply it dogmatically or to say, oh, I believe that这么说,我觉得用教条来应用它或说,哦,我相信
67because David Deutsch said so, or because it's part of critical rationalism, or even因为David Deutsch是这么说的 或者因为它是批评理性主义的一部分
68to ask like, what does David think about this?大卫觉得怎么样?
69I think that is a mistake.我认为这是一个错误。
70Instead, you just have to absorb the ideas.相反,你只需要吸收这些想法。
71And some of these ideas I have absorbed and some of them I haven't.我吸收了一些想法, 有些想法我还没有。
72I'm not an expert in quantum physics, even the computation and mathematical parts.我不是量子物理专家,甚至计算和数学部分。
73I struggled, although I gave it a good effort.我挣扎着 虽然我付出了很大努力
74And I learned something a little bit more every time.我每次都学到一些东西。
75But I think at the end of the day, it's about the ideas.但我想,最后,这是关于 想法。
76You have to take each idea, you have to evaluate it on its own merits.你必须接受每个想法, 你必须评估它本身的优点。
77And then if you can, you have to absorb it into your framework of thinking until the如果你可以的话,你必须把它吸收进你的思维框架,直到
78next better idea comes along.下一个更好的主意来了。
79And if you can't figure it out, then you should reject it.如果你无法解开,你应该拒绝它。
80The mistake would be to memorize it.错误是记住它。
81Let's dig a bit into epistemology, because this documentary is primarily about that我们来研究一下认知 因为这部纪录片主要是关于
82subject and that strand of the four strands of his fabric of reality, which, as you主题和他现实结构的四条线的一线 和你一样
83mentioned, is kind of a mistake to think of them separately, but rather as a whole提到过,是种错误 分别思考它们, 而不是作为一个整体
84world view or a framework.世界观或框架。
85So fallibleism, right, it's the opposite of dogmatism and relativism in a sense in因此,错误主义,正确的, 它的对立 教条主义和相对主义 在某种意义上
86that it says you can be wrong, there's something objective to be wrong about.它说你可能错了, 有一些客观是错的。
87And both relativism and dogmatism reject that in the sense that相对主义和教条主义都拒绝
88dogmatism says you can't be wrong if you've read the script, this is what came from教条主义说,如果你读过剧本,你不会错的,这是从
89God and you necessarily can't be wrong.上帝和你一定不会错的
90And with relativism, it's like everyone has their own truth.而以相对论,则似人人自有其真.
91And again, you can't be wrong.再说一遍,你不会错的
92So I guess how have you applied epistemology to your personal or professional lives?所以我猜你是如何将认知应用到你的个人或职业生活中的?
93Yeah.对
94So let me start off by saying I don't like words like epistemology and fallibleism,因此,让我首先说, 我不喜欢像 认识论和谬误论,
95because I think they take things that are very simple and they overcomplicate them.因为我认为他们采取的东西 非常简单 和它们过于复杂。
96And I understand why they exist.我理解为什么它们存在
97They exist as a jargon for philosophers and logicians to communicate more efficiently它们作为哲学家和逻辑学家更有效地沟通的术语而存在.
98and more precisely.更确切一点
99But I think for the everyday person, they just put up a barrier between the thing and但我想,对于日常的人, 他们只是设置了一个屏障 东西和
100the knowledge and the person.知识与人.
101And it's actually very simple.这其实很简单。
102Epistemology is just the theory of knowledge, which is another way of saying, how do you心理学只是知识理论,这是另一种说法,你怎么解释?
103know what's true versus how do you know what's false?知道什么是真实的,你怎么知道什么是虚假的?
104And this is something that you have to do every day as you go through all of life.这是你每天必须做的, 当你经历所有的生活。
105How do you know what's true?何以知真谛.
106How do you know it's likely to be true?你怎么知道这有可能是真的?
107How do you know what someone's telling you is the truth or not?你怎么知道有人告诉你什么是真相?
108How do you know if some theory you have is correct or not?你怎么知道你的理论是否正确?
109So how do you know something is true?你怎么知道事情是真的吗?
110And then fallibleism just means you not only can you always be wrong, you probably are错误主义意味着你不仅可以 永远是错的,你很可能是
111always wrong and you should always be trying to correct your mistakes.总是错的,你应该 总是试图纠正你的错误。
112You should always be trying to get closer and closer to the truth.你应该一直试着接近真相
113And as you pointed out, people can confuse that with relativism, which is very different.正如你所指出,人们可以把这一点与相对主义混淆起来,后者非常不同。
114Relativism is just saying, well, everyone has their own truth and so we're all correct.相对主义只是说, 好吧,每个人都有自己的真理 所以我们都是正确的。
115Well, that's obviously not true.这显然不是真的
116Like not everybody has their own view of the steam engine or the electric motor and how像不是每个人都有自己的观点 蒸汽机或电动机
117those work.这些工作。
118In the same way, not everything is correct.同样,并不是一切是正确的。
119Like, for example, we know that, you know, command and control top down organization比如,我们知道,你知道, 指挥和控制上层组织
120doesn't work well for economies.对经济并不好
121Right.对
122So there are absolute truths, there are moral truths like slavery is wrong or所以有绝对的真理,有道德的真理 像奴隶制是错误的或者
123just the simple golden rule, you know, do unto others as you'd be done by, or the只是简单的黄金规则,你知道, 做别人,你将会做的,或者
124silver rule that don't do things to others that you wouldn't want done to you.银色的规则,不做事情 别人,你不希望做给你。
125Right.对
126So there are even there's even moral连道德都有
127progress.进展。
128So we do have things that are more true than other things.所以我们确实有比其他事情更真实的事情。
129So just because we can never know the ultimate truth and we should always be open所以,只是因为我们永远不知道 最终真理,我们应该永远开放
130介意的 A. k. a.
131fallible or be a fallible list.假的或是一个假的列表。
132Again, I don't like that word, but just because you can you're always in a state of再说一遍,我不喜欢这个词, 但只是因为你能永远处于一种状态
133uncertainty.不确定性。
134But yet there are things that have a greater truth composition than但是,有些事情 真相构成比
135others.别人。
136You just have to get away from this binary thinking of true and false.你只需要远离这种二进制的真假思维.
137So there are things that are more true and there are things that are less true.所以有的更真实,有的更不真实.
138And the nice thing is that this coincides with common sense.不错的是,这与常识相吻合。
139You pointed out that groups often search for consensus and individual search for你们指出,团体往往寻求共识,个别寻求
140truth and that making something social destroys the truth of it.事实和让社会的东西 破坏它的真理。
141And nowadays in the social sciences, you know, political influence seem to motivate a而现在的社会科学,你知道, 政治影响 似乎促使
142lot of what's happening there and often feel like when people claim that they're很多事情发生在那里, 常常感觉像 当人们声称他们是
143doing science, it's often to tell the opposite with political science and climate做科学,往往与政治学和气候相反
144science.科学。
145Nobody really says physical science or chemical science, right?没有人真的说物理科学或化学科学,对不对?
146It's just physics and chemistry and biology.这只是物理和化学以及生物学。
147So I'm curious how you think individuals can independently pursue the search for所以我好奇你认为个人如何独立寻找
148truth when there are such strong incentives to just conform and be a sheep.当有如此强烈的激励 正直的服从和成为一只羊。
149Yeah, I'm deeply suspicious of groups of people coming to the truth in anything,是的,我深为怀疑 一群人从任何事物中找到真相,
150because it's not to say groups are bad.因为这不是说团体是坏的。
151Humans are cooperators by nature.人类自然是合作者.
152We need groups to get things done.我们需要团体来完成事情。
153But groups need consensus.但是,各集团需要达成共识。
154A group that does not have consensus will fall apart.一个没有达成共识的集团将分崩离析。
155So a group will not admit its mistakes.因此,一个团体不会承认其错误。
156It will not admit that it was wrong.它不会承认这是错误的。
157It will not pivot.它不会枢机。
158It's not a truth seeking entity.这不是一个寻求真相的实体。
159Individuals can seek truth.个人可以寻求真理。
160And then based on that, they can choose to cooperate with others for limited periods在此基础上,他们可以选择 与他人合作的有限时间
161of times to effectuate that truth or to have something come out of it.以证明真相或从中得出什么
162But if you're really looking for truth, it's the opposite of looking for social但是如果你真的在寻找真理, 寻找社会是相反的
163approval.核准。
164Truth requires feedback.真相需要反馈。
165It requires error correction.需要更正错误。
166Where does that feedback come from?这种反馈来自何处?
167Well, there are three sources of feedback in reality.现实中有三个反馈来源
168There's two that are very natural and one that we've invented in modern times.有两个非常自然,一个是我们在现代发明的.
169The two that are natural are nature.自然二种即是自然义.
170If I drop an apple, it falls to the ground.如果我掉个苹果,它就会掉到地上
171There's a truth there of gravity.这里有引力的真理
172I can't deny it.我无法否认
173That's nature giving me feedback.大自然给了我反馈
174So as a scientist, a physical scientist, I would naturally gravitate towards that所以作为一个科学家,一个物理科学家, 我会自然地引向
175truth.事实
176No pun intended.没有双关语的意思。
177But there's also a truth of social approval, which is if I want to if I want to get但也有社会认同的真相 如果我想得到
178along with my group, then I can take feedback from people like, did you like that?和我的小组, 然后我可以接受 反馈的人喜欢, 你喜欢吗?
179Did you approve of what I did?你同意我所做的吗?
180And then the one that we've invented as a truth seeking mechanism is free markets,然后我们发明的 寻找真相的机制是自由市场,
181where in a free market, it's not a mob.在自由市场,它不是暴徒。
182It's actually the opposite.这其实恰恰相反。
183The applause comes from the mob, which is a group of people who are thinking the掌声来自暴徒 一群人在想
184same and trying to coordinate.并试图协调。
185A free market is where individuals are voting differently and they're voting on a自由市场是个人投票方式不同,
186merit basis and they're being punished for bad predictions and they're being他们被罚的预言不好 他们正在
187rewarded for good predictions.善报善报.
188So free markets are also a source of truth seeking in that, for example, if I因此,自由市场也是寻求真理的来源,例如,如果我
189think that there's a I think alphabet is a great stock and I buy it, but I turn out我觉得有张字母表是很棒的股票 我买了它,但我发现
190to be wrong, then the truth of the market will punish me as the feedback comes in说错的话,市场真相就会惩罚我
191and I will lose my money.我会失去我的钱。
192So these are sort of the three mechanisms you have for getting feedback from the所以,这些是三种机制 你拥有从得到反馈
193environment.环境。
194They're not all equal.二者不无平等.
195There's actually a fourth, which is the part of nature, which is just survival.实际上还有第四个,这就是自然的一部分, 它只是生存。
196But we break that out into its own thing called evolution, survival of the fittest.但是我们把它分解成它自己的东西 叫做进化,适者的生存。
197Right.对
198I think the natural truth seeking mechanisms will lead you to truth.我认为,寻求真相的自然机制将引导你找到真相。
199The social one will lead you to social approval, but it will not lead you to社交的会引领你得到社会认可 但不会引领你
200truth.事实
201It can lead you into all kinds of dead ends.它可以引导你进入各种死胡同.
202And unfortunately, most people not only get their feedback from there, they不幸的是,大多数人不仅从那里得到反馈
203actually get their theories from there.从那里得到他们的理论。
204So that's what I call a difference between reasoning from first principles所以,这就是我所说的区别 推理与第一原则
205versus reasoning by proxy.相对于代理推理.
206If you're reasoning for first principles, which is what you do for things that如果你在为第一原理推理 那就是你为那些
207you really care about, then you would examine the truth of the statement for你真正关心的, 然后你会检查 声明的真相为
208yourself.你自己来
209You would be skeptical.你会怀疑的
210You would test it.你会测试它。
211And then if it if it turns out to be true, you would know that because you get如果是真的,你会知道 因为你得到
212feedback from the right places.从正确的地点反馈。
213And if it turned out to be false, you get punished.如果结果是假的,你会受到惩罚。
214But if you're getting your feedback from other people, you're usually going to但是如果你得到别人的反馈,你通常会
215end up with the wrong answer.最终得到的答案是错误的。
216So examples of this are like their entire professions where all your feedback所以这个例子就像他们整个职业 在那里你所有的反馈
217comes from other people.来自于其他人。
218Politics is a prime example of that.政治是这方面的一个典型例子。
219Anything political, social sciences, you know, I'm deeply suspicious of anything任何政治,社会科学,你知道, 我深深怀疑任何事情
220that starts with the word social, social sciences, socialism, social engineering,社会科学 社会主义 社会工程
221social justice, you name it, because this is all about groupthink.社会公正,你说它, 因为这是所有关于群体思考。
222So it's not a mechanism for truth.故非真谛之机制.
223It's a mechanism for coordination and cooperation.这是一种协调与合作的机制。
224Often it means we're going to beat the truth into you or you better get a通常这意味着我们要打 真相进入你,或 你最好得到一个
225wrong with us and our truth or else.我们和我们的真相都错了
226Right.对
227And Deutsch has this idea of the principle of optimism that all evil is而Deutsch有这种乐观原则的想法 所有邪恶都是
228due to a lack of knowledge and anything not forbidden by the laws of physics is由于缺乏知识和物理法则所不禁止的一切
229possible given that right knowledge.如果有正确的知识,
230And so we should try and organize society and coordinate society in a way that因此,我们应该努力组织社会,协调社会的方式
231maximizes the growth of knowledge, which doesn't which the social approval最大限度地增加知识,而知识却不是社会认可的
232aspect doesn't really fulfill.层面并不真正满足。
233Yeah, in fact, it's almost oxymoronic.是的,事实上,它几乎是催产。
234You don't organize society.你不组织社会。
235You almost have to disorganize society.你几乎要破坏社会组织
236It's not that you reward people as you just stop punishing people for truth不是因为你不再惩罚别人
237seeking, but we do need certain rules of cooperation to get along.寻求,但我们确实需要某些合作规则才能相处。
238If we don't have some minimum amount of rules, there's always cheaters in any如果我们没有最低限度的规则, 总是有骗子在任何
239system and those cheaters will overwhelm the system.而那些作弊者会压倒整个系统
240It doesn't take a lot.亦无甚费.
241It just takes a few people, you know, committing crimes or driving on the wrong只需要几个人,你知道的,犯罪或开车走错路
242side of the road, you know, or, you know, just taking everything in running or路边,你知道的, 或者,你知道,只是把一切 在运行或
243tragedy of the commons, whichever, whichever model you want to use.共同的悲剧, 以任何你想要使用的模式为准。
244But the history of the human species is figuring out how to cooperate while但人类的历史正在研究如何合作
245keeping the cheaters out from breaking the system.不让作弊者破坏系统
246Otherwise the parasites overwhelm the host and the system dies.否则寄生虫会压倒宿主,系统会死亡.
247And a lot of people nowadays are concerned about us running out of resources现在很多人都担心我们资源耗尽了
248and they propose the solution is degrowth.他们提出解决方案是脱产。
249Can you make the case for a greater population and that the idea that our你能为更多的人辩护吗?
250resources are at any given point of time are only limited by our knowledge and资源在任何特定时间点都受我们的知识限制,
251obviously the laws of physics?很明显是物理定律?
252Well, there's two different issues here.这里有两个不同的问题
253One is, you know, are we running out of resources and what is a resource and all其一,你知道,我们耗尽资源 资源是什么,所有
254that?那个?
255And then the second is, are we destroying the environment, the biosphere第二,我们破坏环境,生物圈
256as we replicate, you know, are we an invasive species that's taking out the正如我们复制,你知道, 我们是一个入侵物种 正在消灭
257earth?地球吗?
258The first one is easier.第一个更容易
259Are we running out of resources?我们没有资源了吗?
260No, we've never run out of a single resource ever.不,我们从未用完任何资源
261There's not a single resource you could point to that was a resource in the没有一个资源可以指 资源在其中
262classic commodity sense that had any real value where we ran out in some经典的商品感 有任何真正的价值 我们跑出一些
263harmful way because technology is the is the act of substituting away from one有害的方式,因为技术是 代替一种行为
264resource to another.资源到另一个区域。
265As we ran out of burning wood, we started burning coal.当我们用光了燃烧的木材, 我们开始烧煤。
266We ran out of coal.我们没煤了
267We actually didn't run out of coal, but we went from coal to oil.我们实际上并没有耗尽煤炭, 但我们从煤炭到石油。
268And before we could even run out of oil, despite all the peak oil nonsense around之前,我们甚至可以耗尽石油, 尽管所有的高峰石油胡说八道
269the year 2000, we have gotten we've gotten nuclear, we've got solar, we've got2000年,我们得到了核, 我们得到了太阳能,我们得到了
270wind.风.
271The universe is full of unlimited resources.宇宙充满无限资源.
272The universe, the multiverse, whichever version you take, is staggeringly large,宇宙,多面体,无论你采用哪种版本,都是惊人的庞大,
273way beyond your ability to cause to run out of resources.超越你的能力 造成资源耗尽。
274We haven't even wrapped a Dyson sphere around the sun and extracted all of that我们甚至还没有包裹一个戴森球体环绕太阳 并提取所有的东西
275energy.能源。
276There is unlimited energy, even the so-called empty cubic meter of space.有无限的能量,甚至所谓的空立方尺的空间.
277There's plenty of energy.能量充沛.

287trees, maybe synthesize long dead trees.树木,也许合成长死树。
288So it is always a question of knowledge.因此,这总是一个知识问题。
289So that is that should put the resource argument to rest, although it won't所以,这应该让资源争论停止 虽然它不会
290because there are people who are dogmatically committed to the idea that we're因为有些人 教条性地承诺 我们的想法
291running out of resources.资源耗尽。

344And so what we really need is just to all redistribution and for everybody to, you所以,我们真正需要的 就是所有再分配 和每个人,你
345know, share.知道,共享。
346And Marxism, besides denying human incentives, also has a problem where it just而马克思主义除了否认人类的激励之外,还存在一个问题,那就是:
347assumes that everything is finite and we're all just dividing up the same small假设一切都是有限的 我们都只是 分开同样的小
348set of things.一套东西。

362ultimately.最终。
363And so when you think about it that way, you realize that knowledge is not just所以当你这样想的时候 你意识到知识不仅仅是
364stored up capital in the classic Marxist sense, you know, capital versus在典型的马克思主义意义上储存资本, 你知道,资本对
365labor, but it's also knowledge and what to do with that capital.劳动,但它也是知识 和如何与资本。

763not just from the government, but also from cultural regulations不仅来自政府 也来自文化条例
764or just from being, you know, too close to their family或仅仅是因为,你知道, 太接近他们的家庭

1154the center of the universe to being infinitesimal and unimportant宇宙的中心是无穷无尽和不重要的
1155in the universe to basically actually saying, well, actually,在宇宙中 基本上说,其实,
1156through the knowledge that we create and the progress that we make,通过我们创造的知识 和我们取得的进展,
1157we are actually incredibly important in a very large universe.在一个巨大的宇宙中,我们实际上非常重要。
1158Have you applied Popper and Deutsch's epistemology你应用过波普和德许的认知
1159or any of their vast implications in your own life?或他们在你自己的生活中有什么影响?
1160The epistemology is really helpful because it helps you figure out认识学很有帮助 因为它能帮助你搞清楚
1161what's true and what's not.何谓真与非真.
1162So there are a lot of authors that I used to read所以有很多作者 我过去读过
1163where I would sort of absorb what they said.在那里我会吸收他们说的话
1164And now I realize a lot of that is nonsense.现在,我意识到很多 这是胡说八道。
1165Simple example is Guns, Germs and Steel, you know, where he has the real很简单的例子是枪, 格姆斯和钢铁, 你知道,他在那里有真正的
1166Jared Diamond has a beautiful explanation of, you know,贾里德·戴蒙德有个很好的解释
1167why certain cultures evolve and others didn't.为什么某些文化会进化 而另一些文化则不会进化
1168He's like, well, Europe is horizontal and the Americans in Africa are vertical.他喜欢,嗯,欧洲是横向的, 非洲的美国人是纵向的。
1169And when you're vertical, then the latitude changes,当你是垂直的, 然后纬度变化,
1170change temperatures or technologies like food production改变温度或粮食生产等技术
1171and domestication of animals don't transfer.动物的驯化不会转移
1172And so you're just your technology is very narrow.所以,你只是你的技术非常狭窄。
1173Whereas in Europe, the technology applies across the board在欧洲,这种技术是普遍适用的
1174so you can develop much faster.这样你就可以更快地发展。
1175And that's why they took over the world.所以他们占领了世界
1176It's a neat little explanation.这是一个清晰的小解释。
1177It turns out to be maybe there's some truth to it,事实证明,也许有 一些真理,
1178but it also turns out to be mostly false because even a small amount但结果也大多是虚假的 因为即使是少量
1179of creativity or a small amount of error correction或少量错误更正
1180will quickly break you out of that trap.会很快把你从陷阱里救出来
1181So you realize that the dominant thing that's important所以,你意识到, 占支配地位的事物 这很重要
1182is knowledge creation and then error correction是知识创建, 然后更正错误
1183to get better and better knowledge creation and geographic创造更好的知识和地理环境
1184and resource factors don't apply that much.资源因素没有那么重要
1185Yes, resources matter.是的,资源很重要。
1186But there are areas of the world that are better但世界上有些地方比较好
1187resource in the areas of the world that where we first developed我们最初开发的世界上
1188the technologies that now the entire world relies upon.全世界现在所依赖的技术。
1189So creativity is so much more the dominating force to pay attention to.所以创造力更是主导力量 来关注。
1190That's an easy example.这是一个简单的例子。
1191It helps you get over the we're running out of resources argument它能帮助你渡过我们资源耗尽的争论
1192or that wealth creation is evil or let's be pessimistic或者财富的创造是邪恶的 或者让我们悲观
1193because we're all going to kill ourselves or there are too many humans.因为我们都要自杀 或有太多的人。
1194It's kind of all these anti-natalist, anti-human, anti-people arguments.这是一种所有这些反产主义者,反人类,反人民的论点.
1195So I think in that sense, the epistemology useful at a base level,因此,我认为从这个意义上来说, 流行病学在基础水平上有用,
1196you're always trying to figure out what's true.你总是想找出真相
1197And so Popper had the concept of falsifiability, which is very important.所以波普有易腐性的概念, 这是非常重要的。
1198Like if I make a statement that can't be disproven,就像我做一个不能否认的陈述,
1199it's kind of a meaningless statement.这是一种毫无意义的声明。
1200For example, we're living in a simulation.例如,我们生活在模拟中。
1201Well, how would you disprove it?那你怎么反驳呢?
1202Anything you do, I'll just say, well, that's in the simulation.无论你做什么,我只说,好了,那是在模拟。
1203That's part of the simulation.这是模拟的一部分。
1204So it's an unfalsifiable statement, which means it's just religion.故此说法不可说佛剎微尘数佛剎微尘数佛剎微尘数菩萨.
1205It's just a nonsense statement.这只是个无稽之谈
1206Or the free will argument is another nonsense argument.或者自由意志争论是另一个荒谬的争论.
1207So it helps you not waste time on those because they're non falsifiable.所以它帮助你不要浪费时间 因为这些是不可伪造的。
1208Secondly, Deutsch added the additional criteria,第二,德国增加了附加标准,
1209which I think is a very good one, saying that a good theory is hard to vary,我认为这是一个非常好的, 说一个好的理论很难改变,
1210which means you can't change the details of the theory这意味着你无法改变理论的细节
1211without changing the outputs.而不改变产出。
1212You can't just move the goalposts afterwards.之后不能随便移动门柱
1213So, for example, the example he gives in one of his books is,例如,他在一本书中举出的例子就是,
1214you know, why do we have seasons?你知道,为什么我们有季节?
1215So there's the old Greek theory, mythology theory.因此有古希腊理论,神话理论.
1216Well, it's because Persephone got kidnapped by Hades因为珀耳塞福涅被哈迪斯绑架了
1217and when she came out, like spring came out and so on.当她出来的时候,就像春天出来一样
1218Well, that one is really easy to vary.嗯,这个是很容易改变的。
1219Why did spring start later today?为什么春天今天晚些时候开始?
1220Well, later this month.这个月晚些时候
1221Well, it's because Persephone, you know, got lost in her way out.因为珀耳塞福涅 迷路了
1222Or why Persephone?或者为什么是珀耳塞福涅?
1223Why wasn't she just Aphrodite?为什么她不只是阿佛洛狄忒?
1224Right.对
1225So it's just a very easy to vary theory.所以这只是一个很容易改变的理论。
1226So it's not really a good explanation.所以这不是一个很好的解释。
1227On the other hand, if you look at the axial tilt theories,另一方面,如果你看看轴向倾斜理论,
1228because the Earth tilted 23 degrees and, you know, when it's going around the sun,因为地球倾斜了23度 当它绕着太阳走的时候
1229there's, you know, parts of it are further away and parts are closer.有的,你知道的,它的部分是更远 和部分更接近。
1230And that determines the seasons.这决定了季节。
1231Well, OK, that's a very good theory, because if I move from 23 to 22,好吧,好吧,这是一个非常好的理论, 因为如果我从23移动到22,
1232the date of spring should change.春季的日期应当改变。
1233So it's a very precise theory.所以这是一个非常精确的理论.
1234It's a very narrow theory.这是一个非常狭义的理论.
1235It's hard to vary.难得变化.
1236And then to that, I would also add,除此之外,我还要补充:
1237you know, there are parts of his books we can read and he adds a few more你知道,他的书里有部分 我们可以读到,他又加了一些
1238not criterion, but these are telltale signs.这不是标准,但这些都是告示标志。
1239And so I would say good theories also often make risky and narrow predictions.所以我要说,好的理论 也经常作出风险和狭隘的预测。
1240So now when someone makes a good theory, says they have a good explanation,所以现在当有人提出一个好的理论, 说他们有一个很好的解释,
1241they have a new theory.他们有一个新的理论。
1242It's OK. Well, let's test it.没事的 试试看
1243What prediction are you making that other people were not making?你在预测别人没有做什么?
1244That is a high risk prediction that if it turned out to be true,这是一个高风险的预测 如果事实证明是真的,
1245you'll be validated.你会被验证。
1246But if it turned out not to be true, then, you know, egg on your face.但是,如果它证明不是真的, 那么,你知道,鸡蛋在你的脸上。
1247And it should be hard to vary.应该很难改变
1248It should be a fairly precise prediction, a narrow prediction.应该是相当准确的预测,狭义的预测.
1249And you should be taking risk.你应该冒险
1250So I would add that in another thing he talks about,所以我要补充,在另一个事情 他谈论,
1251which I think has been very helpful is like you don't throw out your theory我觉得这很有帮助 就像你没有放弃你的理论
1252just because there's a mistake in it.只是因为里面有错
1253You only throw it out if you have a better theory that explains你只要有更好的理论来解释
1254what the previous theory did, plus corrects a mistake.之前的理论所做的事 再加上一个错误
1255And that is a good criterion for choosing between alternative explanations.这是在备选解释之间作出选择的良好标准。
1256Induction.上岗
1257Oh, my God.须菩提.
1258He takes down induction.他取消了上岗
1259That's a huge one.这是一个巨大的。
1260We live our whole life through induction.我们通过上岗来过一辈子
1261The sun rose yesterday, so it will rise tomorrow.昨天太阳升起,所以明天就会升起
1262You know, so humans are very inductive creatures.你知道,所以人类是非常诱人的生物。
1263One, two, three, four, five, then come six, seven, eight.一,二,三,四,五 然后来六,七,八。
1264But a lot of the interesting things in life are explaining但生活中很多有趣的事情都在解释
1265the scene in terms of the unseen, which means that very often从看不见的角度看,这意味着经常
1266things will happen that are nonlinear, that suddenly there's emergent properties会发生一些非线性的事情 突然间就有了新的属性
1267or there's a nonlinear kink in the curve, which something unexpected happens.或有非线性曲折 在曲线上, 这是出乎意料的事情发生。
1268How did that happen?怎么会这样?
1269You're boiling water.你在沸水。
1270It goes 98 degrees, 99 degrees, getting hotter and hotter and hotter它走98度,99度,越来越热,越来越热
1271100 degrees.百度报.
1272Oh, it's really hot.哦,这真的很热。
1273And then stays at 100.然后停留在100点。
1274What's going on with turning into steam?变成蒸汽是怎么回事?
1275But the water is not getting any hotter than 100.但水的热量没有100多
1276The steam is hotter than the water.蒸气比水热.
1277You're going to burn yourself in the steam or you can drive an engine你要在蒸汽中烧掉自己 或者你开个引擎
1278with more power with the steam than you could with your engine.蒸汽的动力比你的引擎强
1279the water so clearly something here has happened that you need to explain and life is full of these水是如此明显 发生了一些事情 你需要解释 生活充满了这些
1280so that's another example of where his epistemology has been revolutionary another one is he's not所以,这是另一个例子 他的认知已经革命了 另一个是,他不是
1281reductive so he doesn't say like it's all about particle physics or the fundamental layer of递归性,所以他不说 像它所有的粒子物理 或者基本层
1282explanation everything else above is just like made up theory because you don't understand解释上面所有的东西 就像编造的理论 因为你不明白
1283particles no it's because they're emergent properties at every scale you can't you can't粒子 不 是因为它们在每个尺度上都有刚出现的特性 你不能
1284explain how we got how you and i are sitting here without applying to higher level theories about解释一下我们是如何做到的 你和我坐在这里,没有应用更高层次的理论
1285you know capitalism and reasoning and documentary filmmaking and all that you you can't just say你知道资本主义 推理 纪录片的拍摄 以及所有你不能随便说的
1286well it's because of particle collisions from the big bang till now because that's the theory that这是因为粒子碰撞 从大爆炸直到现在, 因为这就是理论
1287explains everything and theories that explain everything explain nothing so you know in unpopular解释一切 解释一切的理论 解释一切的理论
1288juan is people these days that you know they'll say i'm depressed i'm unhappy why because i haveJuan是现在的人 你知道他们会说我很沮丧 我很不高兴 为什么因为我有
1289a chemical imbalance in my brain well every mood you have is a chemical imbalance in your brain我脑中的化学不平衡 每一个情绪都是你脑中的化学不平衡
1290that's not helpful right yes that might be a way to fix it maybe i can give you drugs that will这没什么用,是的,也许可以解决 也许我可以给你药物
1291make you happy but it's not really the underlying cause the underlying cause is probably there are让你开心 但这不是根本原因 根本原因可能是
1292things that are making you depressed there are thoughts that are making you depressed maybe让你沮丧的东西 有些想法让你沮丧 也许
1293external factors of how you want things to be different that are making you depressed外在因素,你希望事情 不同,让你沮丧
1294but mere chemical imbalance it can be useful for trying to fix it but it's not really the但仅仅是化学不平衡,它可以帮助 试图修复它,但它不是真的
1295explanation at the right level of why you might be unhappy and that's what cognitive behavioral正确解释你为什么不开心 这就是认知行为
1296therapy tries to do it tries to unravel why you might be unhappy and talk through it and think治疗试图这样做 试图解开 为什么你可能不高兴 并谈论 通过它,思考
1297and then reevaluate your decisions and choices and it might help you so i think you know operating然后重新评价你的决定和选择 可能会帮助你 所以我觉得你知道操作
1298at the right level of explanation he's got tons of this by the way tons and tons of it but在正确的解释水平上,他有吨 这个方式的吨和吨
1299there's lots of ways in which it can improve your thinking you know all life is error correction有很多方法可以改善你的想法 你知道所有的生命都是错误的校正
1300all judgment is error correction you know just the core principle of like you want explanations you所有的判断都是错误的校正,你知道的核心原则 就像你想解释你一样
1301be satisfied with mere prediction mere prediction is not enough because the world is a predictor仅仅满足于预测是不够的 因为世界是预测者
1302you know you can just if you want to see what's going to happen next just wait the world will你知道只要你想看看接下来会发生什么 等待世界会
1303show you but you also want to deeply understand why and at an exponent at a core level that's告诉你,但你也想 深刻了解为什么,在一个核心层面的启迪者
1304what an explanation does it tries to answer the question of why and that that i think is a是什么解释 它试图回答为什么的问题 我认为是一个
1305fundamental question that people always ask but you can always ask why that why that thing and根本的问题 人们总是问, 但你总是可以问 为什么那东西和
1306because you can always keep asking why you're always going to have a new and better problem因为你总是可以问 为什么你总是会有一个新的更好的问题
1307underneath when you've solved this one and that's why there's an infinite number of problems to be当你解决了这个问题 下方就有很多问题
1308{\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}你总是在无穷无尽的开始 {\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}我觉得穷人和德国人都拒绝
1309the anything called the scientific method which gets pushed into universities nowadays it's like所谓的科学方法 被推入大学 现在它就像
1310it's kind of like inductivist and empiricist a little bit where you start with observations它有点像进取主义和进化主义 你从观察开始
1311and then you form a theory but without a problem you can't form any observation in the first place然后形成一个理论,但是没有问题 你无法形成任何观察
1312some of these theories come so far out of left field in physics it's more obvious relatively物理学中有些理论 已经从左侧领域流出 相对来说 比较明显
1313relativity and quantum mechanics are examples that come out of left field where it's not like相对论和量子力学 是从左外野中产生的例子
1314einstein just dropped more apples than newton and then eventually got to relativity no he just爱因斯坦刚刚掉的苹果比牛顿多 最后他得到了相对论 没有他只是
1315did these crazy thought experiments that looked like they had no bearing on anything no scientist这些疯狂的思想实验 看上去跟任何事物毫无关系 没有科学家
1316was even talking about them in an inductive sense like go from a to b to c to d and then ended up甚至在感官意义上谈论他们 就像从a到b到c到d 然后最后
1317with with relativity but you know even simple like everyday life it's like should i eat chicken有相对性,但你知道,即使是简单的 像日常生活 它应该像我吃鸡
1318or should i eat beef right well a simple empirical model would be like well let's lay all the food或者我应该好好吃牛肉 一个简单的经验模型 就像很好,让我们所有的食物
1319out in front of us let me take through it but humans are incredibly creative i just like i站在我们面前 让我来渡过难关 但人类非常有创意
1320don't want to eat at all i'm going i'm just not going to eat i'm just going to fast or i'm just完全不想吃,我要去 我只是不吃 我只是要斋戒或只是
1321going to drink i'm going to make a smoothie out of this or i'm going to just throw it all together我要喝杯酒,要不就一起喝
1322so creativity is unbounded and unlimited so just extrapolating inductively will not get you所以创造力是无限制的 无限的 所以只是推导性推论不会给你带来
1323to the best answers and the best explanations and computers are very good at induction最好的答案和最好的解释 和计算机非常擅长诱导
1324and scientific method the moment you have a method you program it you can write a program和科学方法,当你有方法的时候,你可以编程一个程序
1325for it well if you can if you can write a program for creativity that's called a gi如果你能为创造力写一个程序 叫做Gi
1326let me know when you have it but until then just programming a method in that just in just repeats让我知道,当你有它, 但在那之前,只是编程一个方法 在刚刚重复
1327experiments and use induction to go a little bit further will not get you the best explanations用实验和诱导方法走得更远 不会给你最好的解释
1328induction has its place when you're trying to figure out if the sun's going to rise tomorrow感应有它的位置 当你试图找出 太阳是否会升起的明天
1329or you know how much prices are going to go up next year probably induction is very useful或者你知道明年要涨价多少 也许上岗很有用
1330induction works really well in what nasim telep calls mediocristan the space that we operate in诱导在纳西姆的电话中非常有效 也就是我们运行的中庸空间
1331most of our everyday lives but it's not it's not how you want to form a theory or an underlying我们大部分的日常生活 但不是你想如何形成一个理论或基础
1332explanation of how something works you can use induction when you have nothing else to try and解释一些东西如何工作,你可以使用感应 当你没有其他的尝试,
1333predict what's going to happen next and that's human nature but you're not going to use to come预测接下来会发生什么 这就是人性 但你不会用来来
1334up with good explanations of what's actually going on underneath the nasim taleb example that he上面有很好的解释 到底发生了什么 在纳西姆的故事的例子 他
1335likes to give is that uh you know the turkey is being fed by the farmer and every day it gets喜欢给是,呃,你知道火鸡 由农民喂 和它每天得到
1336like a nice meal and it's like wow this farmer loves me it's such a benevolent farmer and像一顿好饭,就像哇... 这个农民爱我... ...
1337thanksgiving show this next gets cut off because it had a bad explanation of what was going on谢天谢地节目下一场被砍断 因为它对这是怎么回事有不好的解释
1338it was purely inductive what do you think about the low-hanging fruit theory of knowledge and这是纯粹的诱导 你对低挂的果实理论 知识和
1339i guess like does that explain the uh slow progress have you seen a slow down of progress我想这能解释为什么 呃... 进展缓慢...
1340have you seen in physics and other scientific fields i don't i don't think that's a good你看过物理和其他科学领域吗? 我不觉得这样很好
1341explanation i think the uh first of all if we're going to run out of low-hanging fruit we're going解释一下,我想首先 如果我们要用光 低挂水果,我们要去
1342to run out a long time ago um so i don't think i don't know why you can pick an arbitrary point很久以前就用光了 所以我不知道为什么你能挑一个任意的点
1343the curve and say this is the point where we run out i think it's it's much more around um you know弧硂琌и奔翴 и稱硂环
1344i think science and academia right now suffers from a lot of groupthink new ideas are aggressively我认为科学和学术界现在 受到很多团体思想 新的想法是激烈的
1345rejected we don't have as many natural philosophers anymore kind of just off doing their own thing and我们不再有那么多的自然哲学家 做他们自己的事情
1346just trying to figure out better explanations there's a lot of reliance on oh we need a试图找出更好的解释 有很多依赖哦 我们需要一个
134730 people's names on a paper entire areas of scientific research are sort of kind of closed30个人的名字在一篇论文上 整个科学研究领域 有点封闭
1348off or forbidden especially in the biological sciences and genetics partially for political特别是生物科学和遗传学部分出于政治原因
1349reasons partially just because you know the no bureaucrat will let you do anything that might部分原因 只是因为你知道 没有官僚 会让你做任何事情
1350ever harm a single person because it reflects poorly on them and i actually think we are making伤害一个人 因为它反映不好 他们,我实际上认为我们正在做
1351a lot of progress it's just not uh it may not be it may not seem as fundamental like for a simple进步很多,不过不是 呃... 可能不是...
1352example the theory of quantum computation that deutch came up with or the multiverse theory举个例子,Deutch提出的量子计算理论或多向理论
1353or constructor theory that he's working on i'm sure there are other scientists who are working或建筑师理论,他的工作 我相信还有其他科学家在工作
1354on lots of other interesting things quantum gravity time etc they may just not have had the在很多其他有趣的事物上 量子引力时间等等 他们可能只是没有

1356we can harness that wow or if we actually get cold fusion working that would be huge so i do我们可以驾驭那哇,或者如果我们真的得到 冷核聚变工作,这将是巨大的 所以我做
1357think more theoretical breakthroughs are already happening you're seeing a lot of math conjecture认为更多的理论突破 已经发生 你看到的数学猜想很多
1358solve you can see the advances in computing how machine learning has completely turned the whole解答你可以看到计算的进步 机器学习如何彻底改变了整个过程
1359field upside down its head and the theory is actually not trying to catch up to the reality场面颠倒了它的头,理论实际上并没有试图赶上现实
1360the pace of technological progress has been tremendous and you could also argue that that技术进步的速度是巨大的,你也可以认为
1361progress itself is you know the theory is struggling to catch up to it a lot of like we进步本身是你知道这个理论 正在努力赶上它 像我们一样
1362still don't even exactly know the turbulence mechanics of helicopters and how they fly so还是不知道直升机的扰动力学 和它们如何飞行
1363sometimes technology out and engineering outpaces the theory nothing wrong with that the theory has有时技术的推广和工程的开发 超过了理论的开发
1364to catch up so i i don't think it's a low i don't think low hanging fruit it's a good explanation赶上,所以我不认为这是低, 我不认为低悬挂水果 这是一个很好的解释
1365i think it's it may be a combination of we have it and we're still applying it we have it in我认为它可能是组合 我们有它,我们仍在应用它,我们有它
1366technology we're looking in the wrong places with the wrong in kind of the wrong group thinky ways我们找错地方找错地方找错地方了 那种想法错误的方法
1367we're relying too much on very large and very expensive equipment we have this grant system我们过于依赖非常大和非常昂贵的装备 我们有这个赠款系统
1368where i think the average person who gets a grant in university now is 48 where most of the scientific其中我认为普通人 谁得到大学的补助金 现在是48 其中大部分的科学
1369breakthroughs tended to come through people in their 20s or teens late teens so maybe the20多岁或十几岁后 就会有突破
