Млодинов, Леонард: Цитаты на английском языке

“Obviously it can be a mistake to assign brilliance in proportion to wealth.”

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 10, The Drunkard's Walk, p. 209
Контексте: Obviously it can be a mistake to assign brilliance in proportion to wealth. We cannot see a persons potential, only his or her results, so we often misjudge people by thinking that the results must reflect the person. The normal accident theory of life shows not that the connection between actions and rewards is random but that random influences are as important as our qualities and actions.

“The theory of randomness is fundamentally a codification of common sense.”

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 2, The Laws Of Truths And Half - Truths, p. 21 (See also: William Feller)

“We unfortunately seem to be unconsciously biased against those in society who come out on the bottom.”

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 10, The Drunkard's Walk, p. 212

“Random events often come like the raisins in a box of cereal - in groups, streaks, and clusters. And although Fortune is fair in potentialities, she is not fair in outcomes.”

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 1, Peering Through The Eyepiece Of Randomness, p. 13

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 7, Measurement And The Law Of Errors, p. 129

“Perception requires imagination because the data people encounter in their lives are never complete and always equivocal.”

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 9, Illusions Of Pattens And Patterns Of Illusions, p. 170-171

“The law of small numbers is not really a law. It is a sarcastic name describing the misguided attempt to apply the law of large numbers when the numbers aren't large.”

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 5, The Dueling Of Large And Small Numbers, p. 99

“The outline of our lives, like the candles flame, is continuously coaxed in new directions by a variety of random events that, along with our responses to them, determine our fate.”

Leonard Mlodinow книга The Drunkard's Walk

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 1, Peering Through The Eyepiece Of Randomness, p. 4

“The nasty thing about the availability bias is that it insidiously distorts our view of the world by distorting our perception of past events and our environment.”

Источник: The Drunkard's Walk, Chapter 2, The Laws Of Truths And Half - Truths, p. 28
