John Denn, the English poet, wrote in a 17th century, "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." Now, a British academic has claimed that human individuality is indeed just an allusion, because societies are far more interconnected at a mental, physical, and cultural level than people realize.

英国诗人约翰·邓恩在17世纪写道：“没有人是一座孤岛，可以自全；每个人都是大陆的一片，要为本土应卯。”现在，一位英国学者声称，人类的个性其实只是一种错觉，因为社会在精神、身体和文化层面上的相互关联程度远超人们的想象。

In his new book, "The Self Delusion," Professor Tom Oliver, a researcher in the Ecology and Evolution Group at the University of Reading, argues that there is no such thing as self, and not even our bodies are truly us. Just as Copernicus realized the earth is not the center of the universe, Professor Oliver said society urgently needs a Copernican-like revolution to understand that people are not detached beams, but rather part of one connected identity.

在其新书《自我错觉》中，雷丁大学生态与进化小组的研究员汤姆·奥利弗教授认为，根本不存在所谓的自我，甚至我们的身体也并非真正的我们。正如哥白尼认识到地球并非宇宙的中心一样，奥利弗教授说，社会迫切需要一场类似哥白尼式的革命，来理解人们并非孤立的个体，而是连接在一起的同一身份的一部分。

A significant milestone in the cultural evolution of human minds was the acceptance that the earth is not the center of the universe, the so-called Copernican Revolution, he writes. However, we have one more big myth to dispose of: that we exist as independent selves at the center of a subjective universe. You may feel as if you are an independent individual acting autonomously in the world, that you have an unchanging inner self that persists throughout your lifetime, acting as a central anchor point with the world changing around you. This is the illusion I seek to tackle. We are intimately connected to the world around us.

他写道，人类心智文化进化中的一个重要里程碑是接受了地球并非宇宙的中心，即所谓的哥白尼革命。然而，我们还有一个更大的神话需要破除：即我们作为独立的自我存在于主观宇宙的中心。你可能会觉得自己是一个在世界上自主行动的独立个体，拥有一个一生不变的内在自我，在周围世界变化的同时作为中心的锚点存在。这正是我试图解决的错觉。我们与周围的世界紧密相连。

Professor Oliver argues that there are around 37 trillion cells in the body, but most have a lifespan of just a few days or weeks. So, the material us is constantly changing. In fact, there is no part of your body that has existed for more than 10 years, since our bodies are essentially made anew every few weeks. The material in them alone is clearly insufficient to explain the persistent thread of an identity.

奥利弗教授认为，人体内有大约37万亿个细胞，但大多数细胞的寿命只有几天或几周。因此，我们的物质身体在不断变化。事实上，你身体的任何一部分都不存在超过10年，因为我们的身体基本上每隔几周就会重新生成一次。仅凭它们所含的物质显然不足以解释身份的持续存在。

Professor Oliver claims that individualism is actually bad for society, and only by realizing we are part of a bigger entity can we solve pressing environmental and societal problems. Through selfish overconsumption, we are destroying the natural world and using non-renewable resources at an accelerating rate. We are at a critical crossroads as a species where we must rapidly reform our mindsets and behavior to act in less selfish ways, he said. So, let's open our eyes to the hidden connections all around us.

奥利弗教授声称，个人主义实际上对社会有害，只有认识到我们是更大实体的一部分，我们才能解决紧迫的环境和社会问题。由于自私的过度消费，我们正在破坏自然世界，并以加速的速度消耗不可再生资源。他说，我们正处于一个关键的十字路口，作为一个物种，我们必须迅速改变我们的心态和行为，以更不自私的方式行事。因此，让我们睁开眼睛，看到我们周围隐藏的联系吧。
