The moment we realize that the only things we can intelligibly value are actual and potential changes in the experience of conscious beings, we can think about a landscape of such changes - where the peaks correspond to the greatest possible well-being and the valleys correspond to the lowest depths of suffering.

  • -- Sam Harris 山姆·哈里斯

当我们意识到,只有我们可以简单的价值是实际和潜在变化的经验有意识的人类,我们可以考虑景观的这种变化,峰值对应的最大可能的幸福和对应于最低的山谷深处的痛苦。
