EP67:Deep Into - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion

Deep into the Pages

有没有朋友还记得以前课本里那个“两小儿辩日”的故事:一个孩子说,太阳刚升起时离我们近,因为它看起来像车盖那么大;另一个孩子反驳,不对,中午时才离我们近,因为那时感觉最热。他们引经据典,逻辑清晰,连圣人孔子也无法判断谁对谁错。 这个流传千年的故事,精妙地揭示了“说服”的本质:即便是面对同一个客观事实,不同的论据和角度也能构建出同样有说服力的观点。但我们常常忽略,这场最激烈的辩论,其实每天都在我们自己的内心上演。也许更准确的说是在大脑里面上演。在无数个夜晚,你躺在床上,脑海里有两个小人激烈地辩论:一个说“明天必须早起去健身,说到做到”,另一个则反驳“就多睡一会,身体休息好更重要”。结果,第二天早上,后一个小人总能奇迹般地胜出。或者,你明知某个习惯对你无益,却总能为自己的拖延和放纵找到天衣无缝的理由,甚至把自己都说服了,心安理得地继续“摆烂”。 但在 Jay Heinrichs 这本对我来说大开脑洞的著作《Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion》中,他提出了一个颠覆性的观点:我们之所以输,是因为我们用错了方法。他认为,那套被我们用来在外部世界说服他人、赢得辩论的古老智慧——修辞学(Rhetoric)——同样可以被用来说服我们自己。 In this episode,We're diving into the ancient art of rhetoric, not to persuade others, but to master self-persuasion and bridge the gap between who you are and who you want to be.We'll uncover Aristotle's surprising view of your "soul" as your internal audience, and explore powerful rhetorical tools to build self-trust and commitment. From acting with "decorum" as your ideal self and showing "eunoia" or strategic goodwill, to transforming chaos into opportunity with "kairos" and setting "hyperbolic goals" that inspire massive growth – even if you "fail." We'll even share the "allure and ramp" method for building habits and how simple "paeans" and "synecdoche" can reprogram your inner voice.Join us as we explore how mastering your internal language can literally change your reality and lead to ultimate self-mastery.

EP66:Deep Into - Algospeak

Deep into the Pages

作为一个过了45岁的中年男人,虽然我觉得自己很与时俱进了,但还是常常有一种感觉,我们所熟知的语言,仿佛被按下了快进键,很多都搞不懂了。尤其是在年轻人的世界里,包括我的两个孩子,他们新词层出,旧词迅速迭代,有时听他们聊天,感觉就像在破译一套加密电报。 让我举一个你应该没遇到的一个例子,当听到“unalive”这个词时,你什么反应? 初次见到它时,我作为一个母语是中文的英语学习者,第一反应是:这不就是一个典型的“中式英语”错误吗?我们学英语时,都知道用un-或dis-前缀来表示否定,但具体用哪个,词典里都有规矩。把“alive”变成“unalive”,听起来就像一个刚学英语的人,凭着直觉造出来的一个不规范的词。 然而,在我深入学习了语言学家 Adam Aleksic 的新作《Algospeak》后,我才知道这个词语在国外网上有多流行,更明白了一个说法:正是这种在词典规范上“错误”的用法,恰恰是它能够在这个时代大获成功的关键。 为什么呢,因为这个词巧妙地利用了人类的智慧与算法的呆板之间的空隙。我们的大脑能轻易解析 un- + alive = “不活了”的逻辑,但对于一个依赖关键词黑名单来执行命令的算法来说,“unalive”只是一个无意义的陌生字符组合。这正是“算法语言”(Algospeak)得以诞生的基础:我们需要一个算法不认识,但人类凭借语言直觉就能瞬间理解的词,来表达一个我们都懂的含义。 Aleksic告诉我们,这个词的诞生,源于平台算法对敏感内容的无情压制,而这一套严苛的审核模式,最早正是来自于我们的TikTok。这本书,就像一张引人入胜的地图,带我们探索了这个由算法塑造的、既熟悉又陌生的语言新大陆。

EP61:Breakneck: Why China Builds and America Stalls

Deep into the Pages

Why can China build an 800-mile high-speed rail line in three years, while a similar US project takes decades and costs billions more? The answer reveals the fundamental DNA of two global powers. In this episode, we unpack provocative new book, Breakneck, which frames China as a relentless "engineering state" and the United States as a procedure-obsessed "lawyerly society." We explore the astonishing speed of China's transformation—and its brutal human cost—and contrast it with America's procedural paralysis and its own forgotten heritage as a nation of builders. This is a powerful new lens to understand the defining geopolitical contest of our time, moving beyond simple labels to decode the core "operating systems" of these two clashing giants. 为什么中国能在三年内建成一条800英里的高铁,而美国类似的项目却需要数十年和天价预算?答案揭示了两个全球大国最底层的基因密码。 在本期节目中,我们将深度解读新书《Breakneck》。书中提出了一个极具挑战性的框架:中国是一个不懈的“工程国家”,而美国则是一个沉迷于程序的“律师社会”。我们将一同探讨中国惊人转变速度背后的巨大代价,并将其与美国当下的程序性瘫痪,以及其被遗忘的“建设者”历史进行对比。这是一个理解我们时代最关键地缘政治博弈的全新视角,它将带你超越简单的标签,去解码这两个相互碰撞的巨人的核心“操作系统”。 书籍信息: * 书名: Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future * 出版日期: 2025年8月26日
