原文：How To Remember Everything You Read With AI
原文与中文对照
原文：
There's some truth behind what he's saying, but that's because most people, in general, don't know how to read.
Not because they're illiterate, but because they learned how to read in a Prussian style education system designed to create obedient soldiers, compliant citizens, civil servants, and well-behaved workers by focusing on:
- Mandatory attendance
- Training for teachers
- National curriculum and testing
- Division of students by age
- The concept of grade levels
Reading, to most people, is a _performative_ act.
They read to find specific information for a "test," be it a school test or a life test.
They read to show others that they've accomplished something, like how people flex that they've somehow both read and retained information from 52 books in a year.
They avoid reading difficult books because if they don't understand it, what's the point?
中文翻译：
他说的确实有些道理，因为大多数人在一般情况下并不知道如何阅读。
不是因为他们不识字，而是因为他们是在普鲁士式的教育体系中学会阅读的——这种体系注重：
- 强制出勤
- 教师培训
- 全国课程和考试
- 按年龄分班
- 年级概念
阅读，对大多数人来说，是一种"表演性"行为。
他们阅读是为了在"考试"中寻找特定信息，无论是学校考试还是人生考试。
他们阅读是为了向他人展示自己完成了什么，就像人们炫耀自己一年内读完了52本书并记住了所有信息一样。
他们回避阅读困难的书，因为如果看不懂，那还有什么意义？
原文：
Here's the thing.
You don't read to find a specific answer.
That's just stupid. Why would you waste 8 hours reading a book just to find a few steps to accomplish something when you can type a question into Google, Reddit, or now AI?
If you need to figure out how to be more productive or start a business, reading a book on it is the last place you should look (if you're actually trying to learn, rather than to feel as if you made progress by reading the book itself).
If you're trying to get a big picture understanding of things, then yes, a book is useful for that, but I'd argue that intelligent and calculated research is still better.
But that doesn't mean reading is irrelevant.
In fact, if you want to _become_ the type of person who _is_ more productive, owns a business, or is in good health (not just a person who knows how to do those things) — that requires behavior change, which requires a fundamental rewiring of your mind—and that doesn't come from searching for specific information.
中文翻译：
重点来了。
你不应该为了找一个具体答案而去阅读。
这很愚蠢。当你可以在Google、Reddit或现在的AI中输入一个问题时，为什么还要花8小时读一本书，只为找到完成某事的几个步骤？
如果你想弄清楚如何变得更高效或创业，关于这些主题的书是你最不应该看的（如果你真的想学习，而不是想通过读书本身来感觉取得了进展的话）。
如果你想获得对事物的大局理解，那么是的，书对此很有用，但我要说，经过深思熟虑的研究仍然更好。
但这并不意味着阅读无关紧要。
事实上，如果你想成为一个更高效的人、拥有自己事业的人、或身体健康的人（不仅仅是知道如何做这些事情的人）——这需要行为改变，这需要从根本上重塑你的思维——而这不是通过搜索具体信息能做到的。
原文：
It's never been about how much you know. It's always been about knowing how much you don't know. You can only cook with the ingredients you have.
Now, you _already can_ find the information you need to make millions of dollars, build an aesthetic physique, or anything else you could ever want to achieve in your life, but even if people knew what to look for, where to look for it, and how to apply the information they found, their life wouldn't change all that much.
Because this isn't an information problem, _it's an identity problem._
Your identity is reflected in your daily choices, and if you observe most people, they aren't trying to do anything by their own desire. They may search for new information, but it's not to make a change in their life, it's to feel as if they are making progress by hoarding information to sound smart or look different without actually doing anything different. They were conditioned to go to school, get a job, repeat the same day for 45 years, and hope that one day they can retire happy. Those are the goals their mind is automatically trying to achieve. Those are the goals that filter what information is noticed as important. They don't need to use new information because they don't generate new goals. They live in a subconscious fear that they will be cast out from the tribe if they don't conform. So, they pursue the goals of others for the entirety of their life.
And that's fine, but you're reading this because you don't want to be like them.
That's where the importance of reading comes into play.
You don't read to find information that can already be found.
You read to explore the unknown and pursue your curiosity.
中文翻译：
重要的从来不是你知道了多少，而是知道你还有多少不知道。你只能用你有的食材来烹饪。
现在，你已经能够找到你需要的信息来赚取数百万美元、练出健美的体型或任何你想在生活中实现的事情，但即使人们知道要寻找什么、在哪里寻找、以及如何应用他们找到的信息，他们的生活也不会有太大改变。
因为这不是一个信息问题，这是一个身份认同问题。
你的身份反映在你日常的选择中，如果你观察大多数人的行为，他们并不是出于自己的欲望在努力做什么。他们可能会搜索新信息，但这不是为了在生活中做出改变，而是为了通过囤积信息来让自己显得聪明或看起来与众不同，而不实际做任何不同的事情。他们被训练去上学、找工作、45年重复同一天、希望有一天能快乐退休。这些是他们的大脑自动努力实现的目标。这些目标过滤着哪些信息被认为是重要的。他们不需要使用新信息，因为他们不产生新目标。他们生活在一种潜意识的对被部落排斥的恐惧中，如果不合群就会落后。因此，他们一辈子都在追求别人的目标。
这没问题，但你在读这篇文章是因为你不想像他们一样。
这就是阅读重要性的体现。
你不要为了寻找已经能找到的信息而阅读。
你阅读是为了探索未知，追求你的好奇心。
