重點副作用 5

The non-side-effect-ness of side-effects, 5

這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 10 日的對話。
 

有時,「副作用」的作用,比「正作用」的作用還要大。我戲稱這個現象為「The non-side-effect-ness of side-effects」(重點副作用)。

例如,中三以上的高深數學,一般人在長大後,很少會直接用到。但是,由研習數學所煉成的精密思考,卻一生受用。「精密思考」是工作和日常生活的必須品,雖然「高深數學」不是。

想訓練「精密思考」,沒有比「研習數學」更好的方法,幾乎。

The case that makes you and the case that breaks you…

The one you never solve, the one that keeps you awake at night.

The case that gnaws at your guts and ruins your marriage.

The case that keeps you propping up a bar as you relive the what-ifs, the might-have-beens, the half-leads and half-truths.

The case that other cops murmur about whenever you walk past.

The case you never… ever… discuss.
