深度的独立思考才是获取真知的唯一方式

我们身处于一个人人都在享受，却又同时焦虑的年代。我们享受着信息和技术带来的便捷和快乐，但同时却不由自主的焦虑着。这种焦虑植根于我们的时代，从很多读书，外语打卡的产品和社群的兴起，到对知识IP的追捧和对知识付费的更加重视，都足以见得我们对于自我的成长是多么的渴求。这种渴求不是这个时代才有的，这是人与生俱来的生存欲。我们惧怕被替代，或许是被机器，AI，或是被更有能力的人。信息和技术的便捷，似乎让我们可以随时随地学到知识，掌握技能，领略和发现新的思维方式。但这一切，正如叔本华曾说过的：一种纯粹靠读书学来的真理，与我们的关系，就像假肢、假牙、蜡鼻子甚或人工植皮。它粘附于我们只因我们将它放置于身。而由独立思考获得的真理就如我们天生的四肢：只有它们才属于我们。核心单词：artificial [ɑːtɪ'fɪʃ(ə)l] adj. 人造的；仿造的The city is dotted with small lakes, natural and artificial 这个城市小型湖泊星罗棋布，有天然的也有人工的。limb [lɪm] n. 肢，臂；The police were lucky they found him before I did.

But truth acquired by thinking of our own is like a natural limb; it alone really belongs to us.- Arthur Schopenhauer翻译一种纯粹靠读书学来的真理，与我们的关系，就像假肢、假牙、蜡鼻子甚或人工植皮。它粘附于我们只因我们将它放置于身。而由独立思考获得的真理就如我们天生的四肢：只有它们才属于我们。 -叔本华
