What would our world be like if we ceased to worry about "right" and "wrong," or "good" and "evil," and simply acted so as to maximize well-being, our own and that of others? Would we lose anything important?

  • -- Sam Harris 山姆·哈里斯

如果我们不再担心“对”和“错”,或“善”和“恶”,而只是为了最大限度地增进我们自己和他人的福祉而行动,我们的世界会变成什么样子?我们会失去什么重要的东西吗?
