We have to know what to pay attention to People who are not good in focusing their attention on the right things -I'm not just talking about attention deficit disorder, I'm talking about some more high-level question of how you know what you should be paying attention to.

我们需要知道哪些值得注意,那些主次不分的人,我谈论的不仅是注意力不足过动症,还有在面对复杂问题时,你如何知道哪些事情值得关注

So it's not, as I say altogether straightforward to see how the answer " "Death is bad for me, because when I'm dead I don't exist" how that answers the problem as opposed to simply focusing our attention on the problem ? How can nonexistence be bad for me?

所以这并不是，就像我说的,那么简单可以领会到这个答案,“死亡对我来说不好，因为我死了我就不存在了“,如何回答了这个问题,和我们仅仅把关注点放在问题本身相反,不存在怎么可能对我来说有坏处呢？
