我們身處于一個(gè)人人都在享受,卻又同時(shí)焦慮的年代。我們享受著信息和技術(shù)帶來的便捷和快樂,但同時(shí)卻不由自主的焦慮著。這種焦慮植根于我們的時(shí)代,從很多讀書,外語打卡的產(chǎn)品和社群的興起,到對(duì)知識(shí)IP的追捧和對(duì)知識(shí)付費(fèi)的更加重視,都足以見得我們對(duì)于自我的成長(zhǎng)是多么的渴求。
這種渴求不是這個(gè)時(shí)代才有的,這是人與生俱來的生存欲。我們懼怕被替代,或許是被機(jī)器,AI,或是被更有能力的人。
信息和技術(shù)的便捷,似乎讓我們可以隨時(shí)隨地學(xué)到知識(shí),掌握技能,領(lǐng)略和發(fā)現(xiàn)新的思維方式。但這一切,正如叔本華曾說過的:一種純粹靠讀書學(xué)來的真理,與我們的關(guān)系,就像假肢、假牙、蠟鼻子甚或人工植皮。它粘附于我們只因我們將它放置于身。而由獨(dú)立思考獲得的真理就如我們天生的四肢:只有它們才屬于我們。

叔本華名言
Truth that has been merely learned is like an artificial limb, a false tooth, a waxen nose; at best, like a nose made out of another’s flesh; it adheres to us only because it is put on. But truth acquired by thinking of our own is like a natural limb; it alone really belongs to us.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
