新事物并不总是以发明的形式出现。
它可能是一个不按范例搭积木的孩子,一个用不同方式学习的人,一份还没有名字的职业,一个选择不熟悉生活方式的家庭,或是一种迫使我们重新审视工作方式的工具。
我们常常在理解未知事物可能成为什么之前,就先把它称为风险。阅读宣言
THE FAMILIAR FEELS SAFE
熟悉的不一定更好,只是更容易预测。
We often confuse familiarity with safety.
SMALL ACTS OF DOING DIFFERENTLY
新事物有时只是一个人选择用不同方式做事。
A child building something unlike the model.
A person learning by doing instead of only reading.
Someone who does not want the management path.
A family redistributing care.
A team removing unnecessary meetings.
A person choosing time over maximum income.
并不是所有差异都需要被纠正。
HOW WE LABEL WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW
The words we use for the new affect whether it is allowed to exist.
RiskyAn experiment
UnrealisticA possibility
UnstableA model taking shape
Not a real jobA profession without a name
No one has done itSomething worth exploring
Too differentAnother point of view
DIFFERENT DOES NOT MEAN WRONG
不同于旧方式,并不等于不认真。
Another way to learn is still learning. A new path does not erase the value of the old one. A choice outside the majority is not automatically a step backward.
THE UNFINISHED IDEA
一个想法不必从第一天就确定,才值得被倾听。
A NEW WAY TO LEARN
A different way of learning is not proof that someone cannot learn.
There is more than one way to understand.
Trying and revising is learning.
Practice is not less valuable than theory.
A good question can matter more than a fast answer.
Not everyone needs the same pace.
One method of evaluation cannot define the whole learner.
A NEW WAY TO WORK
A new way of working threatens not only the old process, but also the sense of control that process created.
Meetings to prove workAsynchronous documentation
Presence to prove commitmentEvaluation by outcome
Instant replies to prove responsibilityUninterrupted focus
Management as the only pathParallel expert paths
Long reports for controlEnough information to decide
A NEW WAY TO LIVE
The familiar is often called natural, even when it is only what has been repeated the longest.
Living more slowly.
Not maximizing income.
Taking time to care for someone.
Not pursuing a higher title.
Leaving the city.
Putting health and time before speed of advancement.
AI IS TODAY'S EXAMPLE
今天,对新事物的恐惧有了一个醒目的名字:AI。
WHAT SHOULD TOOLS TAKE AWAY?
There are parts of work people should not have to keep carrying.
Re-entering data.
Repeated formatting.
First-pass summaries.
Basic information search.
Manual reporting.
Exhausting operations that require little judgment.
Automating a task does not mean the person who once performed it has lost their value.
WHAT SHOULD BE RETURNED TO HUMANS?
工具不应该只帮助我们做得更多,也应该把时间还给人。
Thought.
Judgment.
Learning.
Creativity.
Care.
Conversation.
Observation.
Rest.
Complex problem solving.
FASTER FOR WHAT?
只有当人有权决定如何使用被归还的时间时,速度才有意义。
Faster for what?
Who receives the saved time?
Do workers get to rest?
Or do expectations simply rise?
Does work decrease, or is the space filled again?
How are the benefits of productivity shared?
CURIOSITY AND CAUTION
好奇与谨慎可以同时存在。
Learn before concluding.
Experiment at a small scale.
Set clear limits.
Observe the impact.
Admit what is unknown.
Keep the right to question.
Do not worship the new.
Do not reject the new only from fear.
THE RISK OF REFUSING TO CHANGE
不改变也是一种决定,它同样带有风险。
A CULTURE OF POSSIBILITY
可能性文化不会先问工具能做什么。
Do not worship the new.
Do not defend the old only because it is familiar.
Give unfinished ideas time.
Create responsible experiments.
Help people learn again.
Leave no one behind.
Share the gains of progress.
Protect human dignity.
它会问:有了这种工具,人想成为什么样的人。
