今天整了了6条，有些会略有重复，先解析吧，等统一做完后再归纳整理。
#11 If you’re unreliable it doesn’t matter what your virtues are, you’re going to crater immediately. So doing what you have faithfully engaged to do should be an automatic part of your conduct. You want to avoid sloth and unreliability.
解析：懒散和不靠谱，是万恶之源；毫无保留、毫不犹豫、持续不断去做该做的；真的是大白话。
#12 Another thing I think should be avoided is extremely intense ideology because it cabbages up one’s mind....that are made of cabbage...you’re gradually ruining your mind so you want to be very careful with this ideology. It’s a big danger....“I’m not entitled to have an opinion on this subject unless I can state the arguments against my position better than the people do who are supporting it.
解析：意识流层面千万别产生太多幻想，否责太危险，会毁了自己的大脑；要与此杜绝的心诀：心生敬畏，与我无关、关我屁事、我无权乱发意见。
#13 not drifting into extreme ideology is a very very important thing in life if you want to have more correct knowledge and be wiser than other people. A heavy ideology is very likely to do you in.
解析：还是在说意识流，尤其极端意识流的极大危害 - “狂妄自大、不思进取”
#14 Another thing of course that does one in is the self-serving bias to which we are all subject....If Mozart can’t get by with this kind of asinine conduct, I don’t think you should try it.
解析：“自我服务偏差” - 一个心理专业名词 - 不存在绝对客观的“我”，能做的就是把“小我”位置放低、放低、放到最低。
#15 envy, resentment, revenge and self pity are disastrous modes of thought, self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia, and paranoia is one of the very hardest things to reverse, you do not want to drift into self-pity.......self-pity is not going to improve the situation, just give yourself one of those cards.
解析：自怨自艾，某种意义上也就是一个偏执狂；杜绝自怨自艾；当然也不应走去“它怨它艾”的极端；能做的，就是成为一个“积极建造者”；不埋怨、不抱怨、努力建造、努力实践，不管是精神层面的、物质层面的、还是与人相处。
#16 because self-pity is a standard condition and yet you can train yourself out of it....what’s good for you is good for the wider civilization and rationalizing all these ridiculous conclusions based on the subconscious tendency to serve one’s self....You also have to allow for the self serving bias of everybody else, because most people are not gonna remove it all that successfully, the only condition being what it is. If you don’t allow for self serving bias in your conduct, again you’re a fool.
解析：继续努力排除“自怨自艾”，否则就是一个傻子；但要宽容别人的“自怨自艾”，不完美苛求外在不存在“自怨自艾”，因为这是人间常态，否则自己还是一个傻子。
话糙理不糙，傻不傻就在一念间；需要主观多辨别、客观对自己，还是一句话：多建造、少评价。
好了，就这样。新的一周，建造愉快。
You’d think they are logically the same thing, they’re not. Those of you who have mastered algebra know that inversion frequently will solve problems which nothing else will solve. And in life, unless you’re more gifted than Einstein, inversion will help you solve problems that you can't solve in other ways. But to use a little inversion now, what will really fail in life? What do you want to avoid? Such an easy answer; sloth and unreliability. #11 If you’re unreliable it doesn’t matter what your virtues are, you’re going to crater immediately. So doing what you have faithfully engaged to do should be an automatic part of your conduct. You want to avoid sloth and unreliability.
#12 Another thing I think should be avoided is extremely intense ideology because it cabbages up one’s mind. You’ve seen that. You see a lot of it on TV you know preachers for instance, you know they’ve all got different ideas about theology and a lot of them have minds that are made of cabbage. But that can happen with political ideology. And if you're young it’s easy to drift in to loyalties and when you announce that you’re a loyal member and you start shouting the orthodox ideology out what you’re doing is pounding it in, pounding it in and you’re gradually ruining your mind so you want to be very careful with this ideology. It’s a big danger.
In my mind I got a little example I use whenever I think about ideology and it’s these Scandinavian canoeists who succeeded in taming all the rapids of Scandinavia and they thought they would tackle the whirlpools in the Aaron Rapids here in the United States. The death rate was 100%. A big whirlpool is not something you want to go into and I think the same is true about a really deep ideology. I have what I call an iron prescription that helps me keep sane when I naturally drift toward preferring one ideology over another. And that is I say “I’m not entitled to have an opinion on this subject unless I can state the arguments against my position better than the people do who are supporting it.
Now you can say that’s too much of an iron discipline, it’s not too much of an iron discipline, it’s not even that hard to do. It sounds a lot like the iron prescription of Ferdinand the Great, “it’s not necessary to hope in order to persevere." That probably is too tough for most people, I don’t think it’s too tough for me but it's too tough for most people. But this business of #13 not drifting into extreme ideology is a very very important thing in life if you want to have more correct knowledge and be wiser than other people. A heavy ideology is very likely to do you in.
#14 Another thing of course that does one in is the self-serving bias to which we are all subject. You think that your little me is entitled to do what it wants to do, and for instance why shouldn’t the true little me overspend my income? Well, there once was a man who became the most famous composer in the world but he was utterly miserable most of the time and one of the reasons was he always overspent his income, that was Mozart. If Mozart can’t get by with this kind of asinine conduct, I don’t think you should try it.
Generally speaking, #15 envy, resentment, revenge and self pity are disastrous modes of thought, self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia, and paranoia is one of the very hardest things to reverse, you do not want to drift into self-pity. I have a friend who carried a big stack of linen cards about this thick, and when somebody would make a comment that reflected self pity, he would take out one of the cards, take the top one off the stack and hand it to the person, and the card said, “your story has touched my heart, never have I heard of anyone with as many misfortunes as you”. Well you can say that’s waggery, but I suggest that every time you find you’re drifting into self pity, I don’t care what the cause your child could be dying of cancer, self-pity is not going to improve the situation, just give yourself one of those cards.
It’s a ridiculous way to behave, and when you avoid it you get a great advantage over everybody else, almost everybody else, #16 because self-pity is a standard condition and yet you can train yourself out of it. And of course a self serving bias, you want to get out of yourself, thinking that what’s good for you is good for the wider civilization and rationalizing all these ridiculous conclusions based on the subconscious tendency to serve one’s self. It’s a terribly inaccurate way to think and of course you want to drive that out of yourself because you want to be wise not foolish. You also have to allow for the self serving bias of everybody else, because most people are not gonna remove it all that successfully, the only condition being what it is. If you don’t allow for self serving bias in your conduct, again you’re a fool.
