保罗·格雷厄姆:该做什么·第1则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《该做什么》》· What to Do · 行动 · 认知 · 领导 · 人性
What should one do? That may seem a strange question, but it's not meaningless or unanswerable. It's the sort of question kids ask before they learn not to ask big questions. I only came across it myself in the process of investigating something else. But once I did, I thought I should at least try to answer it. So what should one do? One should help people, and take care of the world. Those two are obvious. But is there anything else? When I ask that, the answer that pops up is Make good new things . I can't prove that one should do this, any more than I can prove that one should help people or take care of the world. We're talking about first principles here. But I can explain why this principle makes sense. The most impressive thing humans can do is to think.

白话
人应该做什么?这问题看似奇怪,但并非无意义或无法回答。这是小孩在学会不问大问题之前会问的。我自己是在研究别的东西时偶然遇到的。但一旦遇到,我觉得至少该试着回答。那么人应该做什么?应该帮助他人,照顾世界。这两点显而易见。但还有别的吗?我问自己时,冒出来的答案是:创造美好的新事物。我无法证明人应该这样做,就像无法证明应该帮助他人或照顾世界一样。我们谈的是第一原则。但我可以解释为什么这个原则有道理。人类能做的最令人印象深刻的事是思考。
