Common knowledge of the second kind
论文探讨了人类无法被计算机替代的悖论,指出这是由于对客观和道德知识的根本误解被制度化,若不超越此悖论,人类将陷入只擅长计数却不知何为值得计数的危险。
Although most of us “know” that human beings cannot and should not be replaced by computers, we have great difficulties saying why this is so. This paradox is largely the result of institutionalizing several fundamental misconceptions as to the nature of both trustworthy “objective” and “moral” knowledge. Unless we transcend this paradox, we run the increasing risks of becoming very good at counting without being able to say what is worth counting and why. The degree to which this is occurring is the degree to which the computer revolution is already over — and the degree to which we human beings have lost.
