保罗·格雷厄姆:如何独立思考·第3则

保罗·格雷厄姆《《如何独立思考》》· How to Think for Yourself · 认知 · 行动 · 领导 · 人性

It will decrease the influence of your immediate peers if you have several other groups of peers. Plus if you're part of several different worlds, you can often import ideas from one to another. But by different types of people, I don't mean demographically different. For this technique to work, they have to think differently. So while it's an excellent idea to go and visit other countries, you can probably find people who think differently right around the corner. When I meet someone who knows a lot about something unusual (which includes practically everyone, if you dig deep enough), I try to learn what they know that other people don't. There are almost always surprises here. It's a good way to make conversation when you meet strangers, but I don't do it to make conversation.

白话

想减少身边小圈子对你的影响,有效办法是同时属于几个不同的圈子。这样每个圈子对你的拉力都会变小,你还能把这边的好点子带到那边去。但关键不是找身份不同的人,而是找想法不同的人——光去外国旅游不够,隔壁可能就有思维方式很不一样的人。作者说,他遇到对某件冷门事懂得多的人,总会去问对方知道什么别人不知道的,几乎每次都有惊喜。这招用来和陌生人聊天很好,但他这么做不是为了找话题,而是为了吸收不同的思考方式。
