具体描述
In this profound and playful book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world's earliest - and most memorable - literary form. Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. Those who were too tall had their legs chopped off; those who were too short were stretched. Every aphorism here is about a Procrustean bed of sorts - we humans, facing the limits of our knowledge, the unseen and the unknown, resolve the tension by squeezing life and the world into crisp commoditized ideas, reductive categories, specific vocabularies and pre-packaged narratives. Only by embracing the unexpected - and accepting what we don't know - can we see the world as it really is.

评分本书的重点是普罗克拉斯提斯之床也就是削足适履的哲言。重点阐述了现代社会对人的限制，并认为这对天才造成了损失，也让人变得迟钝。 同时作者对天才做出了定义，具有很难被模仿的缺陷的人。认为削足适履后的才叫文明。 这让我想到了中国，百家争鸣的时代是天才辈出，而独尊儒...

评分《随机生存的智慧》，内容不多，读透却实属不易。 我们本就生活在一个随机的世界。人心的丑恶，世俗的肮脏，潜在的危险和暗藏的机遇……就像光明的背后未必是黑暗，脆弱的反面不一定是坚强，生命本就有太多灰色地带，只因世人怠惰，懒得思考罢了。 Taleb没想把生活说得很清晰...
