The Bed of Procrustes pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses his major ideas in ways you least expect.
The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology: the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs. It represents Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects—modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs, defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and convincing people that employment is not slavery.
Playful and irreverent, these aphorisms will surprise you by exposing self-delusions you have been living with but never recognized.
With a rare combination of pointed wit and potent wisdom, Taleb plows through human illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance, and erudition against the modern diseases of nerdiness, philistinism, and phoniness.
NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB is an essayist, belletrist, & researcher only interested in one single topic, chance (particularly extreme & rare events, the "Black Swans" i.e. outliers); but it falls at the intersection of philosophy/epistemology (skepticism; knowledge about the dynamics of history; inferential claims), philosophy/ethics (stoicism facing random events; theories of nonhedonic happiness), mathematical sciences (probability theory, statistical physics), social science/finance (opacity & incomplete information in economics), and cognitive science (the mental biases making us "fooled" by randomness). He mainly derives his intuitions from a 2-decade long and intense practice of derivatives trading ("nondull" activities with plenty of randomness).

评分作为Taleb的粉丝,我依然觉得鸡肋
评分乐色中的乐色,乐色矣
评分故弄玄虚,不知所谓。
评分格言与吐槽的本质区别在于是否有如下操作:1.高级词汇,2.丰满韵脚,3.魔性转折,4.引发令人发指的愉悦。???? (+5.硬皮装帧)

评分简直就是好书,2年前第一次看,没看出什么感觉,觉着也就一般,一堆名言警句的凭什么卖这么贵。 2年后今天再次翻,完全碉堡,三观的革新,其实,最近一年,一直在路上,这本书是标志最终革新的确认。而且名言的精炼也很适合白羊座的悟性高的我。 想起上一次革新三观的阅读体验...
