politically diverse friends?
گوناگون دارین؟
in a town full of progressives,
در شهری پر از ترقی خواه زندگی میکنم
any conservative friends.
نداشتم
in a Republican family
خانواده جمهوری خواه در
محلی و در ملی کار کرده ام
locally and at the national level.
I've been in technology
آمده ام
Lewinsky-Clinton impeachment scandal,
مونیکا لوینسکی و کلینتون
with a one-sentence petition:
با یک درخواست
censure the president
محکوم کند
facing the nation."
a very unifying petition in many ways.
پیوند دهنده در بسیاری از جهات هست.
متنفر باشین
for the country was to move on.
این هست که بگذرد و حرکت کند
I saw the polarization just continue.
دوقطبی شدن فقط ادامه دارد
in other parts of the country.
to get together with grassroots leaders
هم جمع کردن با رهبران مردمی
in the Christian Coalition,
the way MoveOn is seen as on the left.
moveOn در سمت چپ دیده میشد
showing up on Capitol Hill
leaders, my friend,
have the opportunity
این فرصت رو داشته باشن
that have very different views?
واقعا با هم مرتبط بشن؟
from a small coal mining town,
از یک شهر کوچک معدن زغال سنگ
for the first few years of my life,
زندگی کردم
Frankfort, Kentucky.
(فرانکفورت کنچولی) برم
in small-town America,
they're a little different.
دارن
to a progressive area
مترقی
در Netscape کار کردم
for Netscape Navigator,
اولین مرورگر محبوب اینترنت
and inspired by a vision:
چشم انداز الهام میگرفتیم
these different people around the world
متصل شدیم
that the whole world has to offer.
تبعیض قائل شدن یکدیگر
to discriminate against each other
and decided to hate each other more.
و تصمیم بگیریم که از هم بدمون بیاد
too many people, too many ideas --
ایده وجود داره، پس ما از
to filter it out a little bit.
حدف بشه استفاده
و چه اتفاقی میفته؟
موافقم
who think just like me.
مثل من فکر میکنن
باریکی داشته باشیم
in our beliefs.
می کنیم.
of anybody who's different than we are.
متفاوت هست، تحمل کمتری داریم
The modern world?
جهان مدرن چی؟
that technology is changing,
میکنه
why I started AllSides.com --
Alisides.com را برای
to free us from these filter bubbles.
از این حباب ها، شروع کردم
technology that identifies bias,
برای شناسایی تعصب بود
perspectives side by side
در کنارهم برای آزاد کردنمون از
bubbles of news media.
of Washington, DC,
با یک گروه کمال گرا
of cross-partisan bridge builders,
the fabric of our communities.
دوباره ببافیم
can be a strength,
قدرتمند بشه
احترام قائل بشیم
رفتم
about the work he was doing
در مورد کاری که میکرد
or do collaborative problem-solving
نذاریم، نمیتونیم حتی صحبت کنیم
to go on a walk,
خواست که باهاش
the way I was thinking about things.
که در مورد چیزها فکی مرکیدم رو
میکنه
information filter bubbles,
حباب های فیلتر
and social filter bubbles.
فکر میکنیم
nearly as smart as we think we are.
فکر میکنیم، با هوش نیستیم
decisions intellectually.
میگیریم
we want to rationalize.
استفاده میکنیم
like Mr. Spock,
ولکان نیستیم
like Captain Kirk,
کاپیتان کیرک هستیم
the new "Star Trek" crew,
خدمه «star trek» جدید
with that kind of optimism?
دوست نداریم؟
is a big deal -- very important.
مهمی هست، بسیار مهمه
is very important.
but relationship diversity.
I mean big "D" diversity,
منظورم یک تنوع زیاد هست
which are very important,
of somebody freeing themselves
خودشون رو از حباب های فیلتر
relationships lost or harmed
صدمه دیده به دلیل
religion or whatever?
داشته؟
این چنین
as they talk about family members
خانواده که از آنها جدا شده اند حرف میزنن
and personal differences.
viewpoints each invite two friends
هرکدام دو دوست را برای
to some simple ground rules:
ساده موافق هست
respect, taking turns --
صحبت کردن به نوبت
in kindergarten, right?
نه؟
the topic you've agreed to talk about,
کردین حرف بزنین، صحبت میکنین
to people we care about.
گوش میدیم
in our own living rooms
متفاوت
and even love people
با ما تفاوت دارن رو
you yearn to have?
