中文导读
物理学家 Richard Feynman 的两分钟精简片段,直白阐述了他为何认为相当一部分社会科学更接近伪科学。他犀利指出人最容易欺骗的就是自己,而求取真正的科学知识需要付出极其严谨的代价。
为什么 HN 推它
社区每当探讨软科学局限性、可重复性危机(Replication Crisis)或“什么才算真正的科学”时,这几分钟的发言都会被反复翻出来。
「真正掌握一门知识极度艰难,你必须万分谨慎,确保自己下了真功夫,而不是在自欺欺人。」HN 网友原话:it's very hard to know something and you have to be really careful that you've done the work and aren't just deluding yourself
英文原摘要(HackerTube / Claude 整理)
A two-minute clip of Richard Feynman explaining why he considers much of social science pseudoscience. He stresses how easy it is to fool yourself and how much care real knowledge takes.
Commenters post it whenever a thread touches on soft sciences, replication problems, or what counts as real science.
