There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
所谓道德抑或不道德的书是不存在的。书就只有分写得好、写得差,仅此而已。
I write to explore the boundaries of language.
科学尚未教导我们,疯狂是否就是智力的至高境界。
我不想成为下一个谁,我要做第一个自己。
生命不过是两段深不可测的寂静之间的喧嚣。
我不是数学的英雄。我甚至没有那么成功;这就是为什么我不希望每个人都看着我。
At a restaurant do you order what you know is great, or do you try something new? Do you make what you know will sell or try something new? Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met? The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive, but aim for 1/3.
