這些原則的目的是幫助你控制較低層次的動物性自我，讓更理性的、較高層次的決策頭腦處於主導地位。
假如你能讓大腦較低層次的部分停止工作，讓一個決策計算機取而代之，由其提供以邏輯為基礎的指示，就像我們用橋水的投資系統做的那樣，你覺得如何？假設這個基於計算機的決策機器的決策質量比你的好得多，因為它擁有更強的邏輯能力，能更快地處理更多的資訊，在決策時不被情緒左右，你會用它嗎？為了應對職業生涯中的各種挑戰，我已經打造了這樣的工具，而且我相信，假如沒有它們我絕不可能這麼成功。我毫不懷疑，未來這樣的“機器思考”工具將繼續發展，而聰明的決策者將學會如何將它們融合到思考過程當中。我建議你瞭解這些工具並考慮使用它們。
These principles were designed to help you get control over your lower-level/animal you and put your better, higher-level decision-making brain in charge. What if you could unplug that lower part of your brain entirely and instead connect with a decision-making computer that gives you logically derived instructions, as we do with our investment systems?
Suppose this computer-based decision-making machine has a much better track record than you because it captures more logic, processes more information more quickly, and makes decisions without being emotionally hijacked. Would you use it? In confronting the challenges I’ve faced in the course of my career I’ve created exactly such tools, and I am convinced that I would not have been nearly as successful without them. I have no doubt that in the years ahead such “machine-thinking” tools will continue to develop and that smart decision makers will learn how to integrate them into their thinking. I urge you to learn about them and consider using them.
