其中,关于解决问题的科学方法,及动机部分是精华。
文中专门介绍了洛杉矶和Musk有关的几处奇特景观,有空去看看,不在通常的旅行介绍中。
也有许多鲜为人知的八卦细节:他少有的提到了自己的父亲、在Google的DeepMind的投资等。
没有任何人和事,是完美的,创新先驱的路更是崎岖不平,充满艰辛。走近Musk你可以感受到,他内心深处的寂寞、孤独,高处不胜寒。。。
题外话,这幅照片,是见到的最帅的一张,背景是火箭发动机。
下面是摘录的片段:
The scientific method is a phrase Musk uses often when asked how he came up with an idea, solved a problem or chose to start a business. Here's how he defines it for his purposes, in mostly his own words:
1. Ask a question.
2. Gather as much evidence as possible about it.?
3. Develop axioms based on the evidence, and try to assign a probability of truth to each one.
4. Draw a conclusion based on cogency in order to determine: Are these axioms correct, are they relevant, do they necessarily lead to this conclusion, and with what probability?
5. Attempt to disprove the conclusion. Seek refutation from others to further help break your conclusion.?
6. If nobody can invalidate your conclusion, then you're probably right, but you're not certainly right.
关于动机的的另外一段:
"I try to do useful things," he explains. "That's a nice aspiration. And useful means it is of value to the rest of society. Are they useful things that work and make people's lives better, make the future seem better, and actually are better, too? I think we should try to make the future better."
