我們為何相信:從鬼魂、神和外星人,到陰謀、經濟和政治,大腦如何打造信念並鞏固為真理: : Michael Shermer Michael Shermer HBODiscovery

作者: 麥可.謝爾默  |  譯者: 蔡丹婷


理性試圖駕馭信念,而信念總是脱韁而行。

我們的信仰或迷信,是如何根深蒂固的?
人們不僅相信奇怪的事物,更會相信任何事物,
是什麼助長了我們對於科學不予採信的事情,深信不疑。

關於信念如何誕生、形成、強化、挑戰、改變和消失,
最全面且啟發性的一本書。

  在《我們為何相信》這本綜合了三十年研究的著作中,心理學家、科學史家和世界上最著名的懷疑論者麥可‧謝爾默(Michael Shermer),顛覆了關於人類如何形成(對世界)信念的傳統思維。

  首先是信念,然後才是對信念的解釋。

  我們的大腦是信念引擎。從透過感官流入的感官數據,大腦會自然地尋找和發現模式,然後為這些模式賦予主體性、注入意義。

  一旦這些模式形成了信念,大腦便開始尋找支持這些信念的證據,如此加速鞏固信念的過程,這個過程周而復始地進入信念確認的正回饋循環;而我們的大腦用以鞏固信念的認知工具,數量非常眾多。

  本書以五個部分,說明我們何以相信奇怪的事物,更相信任何事物;書中從懷疑論角度切入,從政治、經濟、宗教領域,到陰謀論、超自然現象,以及人類為何相信不明飛行物、相信外星人綁架、相信超自然事物、相信讀心術等等,為什麼人們總相信自己是對的,別人都是錯的。

  透過對這些現象的分析,謝爾默期許,能為長期相信某個觀點或信仰的人帶來不同的思辨角度。也強調了我們之所以需要科學,就是因為科學是有史以來確定信念是否符合現實的最佳工具。

本書特色

  既有「說明人心想要相信、渴望縱身一躍」的信仰第一手真實故事,亦有「探索政治極化、人類偏誤和陰謀論」的人文社科關注,也有「信念如何在大腦中成形、強化、改變」的認知科學觀點。

Not bad for the price, trust the hardware not the brand
Used it one time, but will leave a review for those wondering. Trimmer: Worked well for out of control vines and leafy hedge. It had enough power and was sharp enough to do the job I wanted which I'd say was small to medium size. I am sure overtime it'll dull, but for the initial tryout I'd give it a 9/10. Feels great in hand, light weight, has the ability to switch from top to side cutting. Blower: Pretty good power, but chews through battery. Absolutely does the job and is very lightweight and easy to use. 10/10 Overall, for the package price I'd say it's worth it. Who knows how long these cheap devices will last, but for light to moderate yard and lawn care they should do the job. If you live on some farm in Iowa then you'll probably want something better and stronger. But for those with a small backyard in the subs somewhere it's more than capable. Batteries are not included. I had used and picked up the aftermarket 8MAH max (DeWalt clones) 2-pack for $50.

Great combo!
Great deal!!! Get this combo now. The Dewalt batteries clip in securely. The trimmer is light and did 12 large bushes and still had 2 bars on the battery. The blower is handy for quick patio blow offs, garage blow outs etc as compared to strapping on the big backpack blower. Both were beyond what I expected.
