- 01
写作时聚焦于提供洞察和思考方式,而不是罗列易过时的事实,因为思维方式更持久、可迁移。
- 02
尝试在文章中引入新概念或新颖视角,这能让内容更有趣、更有价值。
- 03
写作的价值在于帮助读者建立认知框架,而非提供短暂的信息。

写作应聚焦洞察和思维方式,因为事实易变,而思考方式更持久。
文章有趣,但寻找算法引擎识别优质内容的理由有点牵强。更简单的方法是利用人们已有的评分(书评、链接、论坛讨论、投票等)。我喜欢关于聚焦洞察的部分,并认为这是少数可迁移的技能之一——事实虽然有趣但脆弱,而思考世界的方式更持久。

Interesting article, though I think the rationale (find an algorithmic engine to identify quality content) a bit forced. Solving that problem seems similar to building an AI capable of interpreting what a human being would think. Far simpler is to use ratings people already have (book reviews, links to sources they like, forum discussions, up/down votes, etc.) and highlight those. For example, you could look at the top 100 hacker news links each month and get a large amount of insight/interesting stories/. I think people enjoy browsing, discovering and voting -- I'm not sure I'd really want a machine that just gave me the most interesting links (hn services as that, with the added gem of perhaps discovering something off the beaten path). I did like the part about focusing on insight, and calling that out as a specific trait. I find that is one of the few transferrable skills -- facts, while interesting, are fragile; ways of thinking about the world can be more permanent.
文章的有趣程度可以通过是否引入新概念来衡量。
这让我想到,如果概念依存理论能提取结构化信息,就可以衡量文章是否因引入新概念而有趣。

This gave me an idea: decades ago I became interested in a natural language processing theory known as Conceptual Dependency Theory (never was very useful to me though, and I was like a dinosaur caught in a tar pit: my fascination with the theory kept me in a stuck state). Anyway, CDT attempts to extract structured information from text and I thought that if CDT worked, then you could measure something Alex talked about in the article: rating text as interesting if it introduced novel concepts.

不要想好再写,要写来思考
Don’t think to write, write to think
这篇短文主张不要把写作当成思考完成后的记录,而要把写作本身当作思考的工具:动笔的过程会逼出想不清楚的地方。

Writing Is Thinking: Learning to Write with Confidence
这是一篇讲“写作即思考”的博客:作者认为写作不是把想好的东西誊写出来,而是借助写作本身把想法想清楚,因此写作者应当建立信心、敢于先写烂稿。

How to think in writing
这篇文章讨论的是「用写作来思考」:作者认为写作不只是把想清楚的东西表达出来,更是想清楚本身的工具——文字落在纸上,你才有机会看见自己思路里的跳跃、含混和漏洞。

Write to Escape Your Default Setting
文章的核心主张就写在标题里:写作是帮你逃离「默认设置」的手段——日常的思维和表达都有惯性默认的默认模式,而落笔能逼你跳出来,重新看清自己到底在想什么、要说什么。
