【犀利觀點】成功&偶然:全段
Most of us have no difficulty recognizing luck when it’s on conspicuous display,as when someone wins the lottery. But randomness often plays out in subtle ways, and it’s easy to construct narratives that portray success as having been inevitable.Those stories are almost invariably misleading, however, a simple fact that has surprising implications for public policy.
當好運以非常引人注目的方式降臨,比如有人中了彩票,我們大部分人不難看出來。但這種偶然因素往往以不易察覺的方式起作用,因此人們容易構建出一種邏輯,將成功描繪為必然的。然而,這些成功故事幾乎都不可避免地存在誤導性,而這樣一個簡單的事實,會對公共政策產生令人意外的影響。

來看看《蒙娜麗莎》(Mona Lisa)的歷史吧。這或許是世界上最知名的一幅畫。在誕生之初的大多數時間里,萊昂納多·達芬奇(Leonardo daVinci)的這幅畫作一直默默無聞。直到1911年,它從盧浮宮被盜,方才突然成為眾人關注的焦點。
