1
The computer can do everything that man can do.
2
It can learn.
3
It has been programmed as our brain is programmed – to be a Catholic, to be a Protestant, to be a Hindu, to be a Buddhist.
4
You understand all this?
5
Of course, your brain is programmed, whether you like it or not,
6
you have to observe it, otherwise you wouldn't call yourself a Hindu or a communist.
7
Christ, your brain has been cultivated through time,
8
and through that time which is the acquisition of experience,
9
knowledge and so on, that brain has been programmed,
10
has been conditioned to respond according to certain reactions, this is inevitable.
11
That brain is now being given over to the computer.
12
Please realise this, the computer is becoming your brain, the human brain.
13
The computer plus the robot are already operating in manufacturing things,
14
like cars, all kinds of things are happening in about ten, fifteen years, you will be unemployed.
15
You have to face all this.
16
Society is going to be turned upside down, it is coming, whether you like it or not,
17
it is at your door.
18
Now, do you understand the seriousness of all this?
19
I wonder if you do.
20
that your brain, which has been so extraordinarily capable,
21
suffered innumerable sorrows, lives in great anxiety,
22
frightened, insecure, the whole psychological world which is the result of thought.
23
That thought, with all its knowledge, is being transferred to the computer and the robot.
24
So man, then what is he – you understand my question?
25
If the computer can do everything that you can, your brain can, which is it can learn,
26
it can correct itself, it can foresee much more than human beings can,
27
its responses are instantaneous, because it is programmed that way,
28
then what is man?
29
You understand all this?
30
The computers say, I believe in God – oh,
31
you people laugh, you don't see this seriousness of all this happening to all of us.
32
The computer can compose a poem,
33
can compose, can diagnose better than any doctor.
34
You understand?
35
And then we ask, one asks, what is man, what are you?
36
If the machine can do everything even better than you, what are you?
37
Which is, our brains have operated mechanically,
38
it believes, it doesn't believe, it creates its own gods,
39
its own philosophies, the computer can create a philosophy, better than any philosopher.
40
So what have we left?
41
You understand my question?
42
If the machine can take over everything that man can do, and do it still better than us,
43
Then what is a human being, what are you?
44
Your belief in God, the machine has a belief in God, it will do rituals better than you can do,
45
it can invent theories better than any philosopher.
46
Do you understand all this?
47
So what have we left?
48
What we have left is our psychological world.
49
You understand?
50
Our sorrow, our fears, our pleasures,
51
our anxieties, our immense loneliness.
52
You understand all this?
53
That is what we are going to be left with.
54
Not with your gods.
55
The gods have been invented by man, by thought.
56
You have shaped gods according to your desires, your fears.
57
So computers can do all that.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
