Are we noble in reason? Perfect, in Gods image? Far from it, says New York University psychologist Gary Marcus. In this lucid and revealing book, Marcus argues that the mind is not an elegantly designed organ but rather a kluge, a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. He unveils a fundamentally new way of looking at the human mind -- think duct tape, not supercomputer -- that sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature. Taking us on a tour of the fundamental areas of human experience -- memory, belief, decision-making, language, and happiness -- Marcus reveals the myriad ways our minds fall short. He examines why people often vote against their own interests, why money cant buy happiness, why leaders often stick to bad decisions, and why a sentence like people people left left ties us in knots even though its only four words long. Marcus also offers surprisingly effective ways to outwit our inner kluge, for the betterment of ourselves and society. Throughout, he shows how only evolution -- haphazard and undirected -- could have produced the minds we humans have, while making a brilliant case for the power and usefulness of imperfection.

評分作者开头提到一个脊柱的不好,要几个交叉脊椎骨才是更合理设计,以及鼻子不必要的凸起,眼睛进化的缺陷出现盲点,容易腐烂的牙齿以及恼人的第三磨牙,易受伤的皮肤等等,都是拙劣的产品。 然后他提到infantcide,说按照道金斯的说法,既然人是gene的繁殖vessel,为何会有父母会...
感覺可以寫得更深一點?全文看下來好像所有問題的根源都是context-dependent memory
评分沒有那麼差吧,其實也還可以,像這樣的內容其實原本也隻是靠彆人領路。
