于世界有益的研究在我看来分为两种，一种是改变人们对世界的认知，另一种是改变世界既有的物质分配规则。

Research that benefits the world, in my view, falls into two kinds: one that changes how people perceive the world, and one that reshapes the existing rules of material distribution.

重大的变革往往先由思维革命引起，类似文艺复兴，类似马克思主义掀起的狂潮，而智能时代前需要的思维革命会在什么时候发生呢？

Great transformations are usually preceded by revolutions of thought — like the Renaissance, like the tide unleashed by Marxism. When will the revolution of thought that precedes the age of intelligence arrive?

高明的分配规则决定了这种变革何时稳定，比如分配土地，粮食，矿产和能源，在资源差异越来越大的时代，下一个高明的分配规则会以怎样的方式杀出重围呢？

Clever rules of distribution determine when such transformation stabilizes — the distribution of land, food, minerals, and energy. In an age of widening resource asymmetry, how will the next brilliant distribution rule break through?
