通过创建一个简单的脸书页面......威尔·戈宁在他的国家埃及促成了阿拉伯之春。他说，当革命涌上街头，它从希望变为混乱，接着从丑陋褪为心碎。社交媒体亦跟随这样的倒退。从一个原本宣扬众包、参与和分享的地方，变调为两极分裂的战场。戈宁问到：关于线上行为，我们能够做什么？我们要如何使用互联网和社交媒体来创造文明且有理有据的论辩？

是的，两极化最初是由
08:01
by our human behavior,
137
469187
1835
我们的人性驱使，
08:03
social media shapes this behavior
and magnifies its impact.
and magnifies its impact.
138
471046
4444
社交媒体塑造这个行为
并且放大了它的影响。

08:08
Say you want to say something
that is not based on a fact,
that is not based on a fact,
139
476315
3091
比如你想要说些
并不是基于事实的话，
并不是基于事实的话，
08:11
pick a fight or ignore
someone that you don't like.
someone that you don't like.
140
479430
2712
挑起斗争
或是忽略某个你讨厌的人。
或是忽略某个你讨厌的人。
08:14
These are all natural human impulses,
141
482914
2707
这都是人类天生的冲动，
08:17
but because of technology,
142
485645
2155
但因为科技，
08:19
acting on these impulses
is only one click away.
is only one click away.
143
487824
3424
让这些冲动发酵
只要一个点击而已。
只要一个点击而已。
08:24
In my view, there are five
critical challenges
critical challenges
144
492562
2943
我的观点是，
今天的社交媒体面对
今天的社交媒体面对
08:27
facing today's social media.
145
495529
2318
5个严峻的挑战。
08:30
First, we don't know
how to deal with rumors.
how to deal with rumors.
146
498794
3098
首先，我们不知道如何应对谣言。
08:34
Rumors that confirm people's biases
147
502493
2726
那些展示人们偏见的谣言
08:37
are now believed and spread
among millions of people.
among millions of people.
148
505243
4077
被相信，并向数百万人群传播。
08:42
Second, we create our own echo chambers.
149
510590
3450
第二，我们创建了自己的回音室。
08:46
We tend to only communicate
with people that we agree with,
with people that we agree with,
150
514595
3317
我们往往只和那些
与我们观点相同的人沟通，
与我们观点相同的人沟通，
08:49
and thanks to social media,
151
517936
2164
感谢社交媒体，
08:52
we can mute, un-follow
and block everybody else.
and block everybody else.
152
520124
4601
我们能够静音，取消关注
和屏蔽其他人。
和屏蔽其他人。
08:58
Third, online discussions
quickly descend into angry mobs.
quickly descend into angry mobs.
153
526247
4820
第三，线上讨论
很快演变成愤怒的暴民。
很快演变成愤怒的暴民。
09:03
All of us probably know that.
154
531571
1687
我们所有人可能都了解这些。
09:05
It's as if we forget
155
533833
1794
这就如同我们忘记了
09:07
that the people behind screens
are actually real people
are actually real people
156
535651
3260
屏幕里面的人是真实的人类
09:10
and not just avatars.
157
538935
1515
而不是阿凡达。
09:13
And fourth, it became really hard
to change our opinions.
to change our opinions.
158
541254
4382
第四，改变自己的观点
变得很困难，
变得很困难，
09:18
Because of the speed
and brevity of social media,
and brevity of social media,
159
546309
3284
因为社交媒体快速和简短的特征，
09:21
we are forced to jump to conclusions
160
549617
2934
我们很快跳到结论
09:24
and write sharp opinions in 140 characters
161
552575
3064
在140个字中书写
有关复杂全球时政的
有关复杂全球时政的
09:27
about complex world affairs.
162
555663
2184
犀利的观点。
09:30
And once we do that,
it lives forever on the Internet,
it lives forever on the Internet,
163
558402
3850
当我们这样做的时候，
这些观点永远存在于互联网上，
这些观点永远存在于互联网上，
09:34
and we are less motivated
to change these views,
to change these views,
164
562276
3103
我们缺少改变这些观点的动力，
09:37
even when new evidence arises.
165
565403
2031
即便是在新证据出现的情况下。
09:40
Fifth -- and in my point of view,
this is the most critical --
this is the most critical --
166
568033
3557
第五-- 在我看来，
这是最最重要的--
这是最最重要的--
09:44
today, our social media experiences
are designed in a way
are designed in a way
167
572246
4304
今天，我们的社交媒体经验
被设计为
被设计为
09:48
that favors broadcasting over engagements,
168
576574
2937
利于传播而不是参与，
09:51
posts over discussions,
169
579535
2019
利于张贴而不是讨论，
09:54
shallow comments over deep conversations.
170
582586
2672
利于浅薄的观点而不是深度的讨论。
09:57
It's as if we agreed that
we are here to talk at each other
we are here to talk at each other
171
585764
4050
就好像我们认为
自己是来这里对着他人说教
自己是来这里对着他人说教
10:01
instead of talking with each other.
172
589838
2256
而不是与他人对话。
10:05
I witnessed how these
critical challenges contributed
critical challenges contributed
173
593244
2436
我目睹这些严峻挑战是如何影响
10:07
to an already polarized
Egyptian society,
Egyptian society,
174
595704
3313
埃及这个已是两极分化的社会，
10:11
but this is not just about Egypt.
175
599041
2113
但是，这并不只是关于埃及。
10:13
Polarization is on the rise
in the whole world.
in the whole world.
176
601601
3202
两极化在全球范围内升温。
10:17
We need to work hard on figuring out
177
605325
2574
我们要努力寻找
10:19
how technology could be
part of the solution,
part of the solution,
178
607923
3321
科技如何成为解决方案的一部分，
10:23
rather than part of the problem.
179
611268
2010
而不是麻烦的一部分。
10:27
There's a lot of debate today
on how to combat online harassment
on how to combat online harassment
180
615072
3340
当今有很多争论
关于如何对抗线上骚扰
关于如何对抗线上骚扰
10:30
and fight trolls.
181
618436
1222
以及解决重复宣告的问题。
10:31
This is so important.
182
619992
1468
这很重要。
10:33
No one could argue against that.
183
621818
1853
没人会反对。
10:36
But we need to also think about how
to design social media experiences
to design social media experiences
184
624251
5217
但我们也需要思考
如何设计社交媒体经验
如何设计社交媒体经验
10:41
that promote civility
and reward thoughtfulness.
and reward thoughtfulness.
185
629492
3179
来推动礼貌和回报体贴。
10:45
I know for a fact
186
633512
1370
我知道
10:46
if I write a post
that is more sensational,
that is more sensational,
187
634906
3216
如果我写一个更加耸动，
10:50
more one-sided, sometimes
angry and aggressive,
angry and aggressive,
188
638146
3511
更加一边倒，
有时是气愤和激进的帖子，
有时是气愤和激进的帖子，
10:53
I get to have more people see that post.
189
641681
2771
会有更多人关注到这个帖子。
10:56
I will get more attention.
190
644791
1689
我会吸引更多注意力。
10:59
But what if we put more focus on quality?
191
647726
2264
但是如果我更加关注质量呢？
11:03
What is more important:
192
651149
1225
哪个更重要呢：
11:04
the total number of readers
of a post you write,
of a post you write,
193
652398
2653
你写的帖子的总阅读量，
11:07
or who are the people who have impact
that read what you write?
that read what you write?
194
655075
4621
还是是谁在阅读，谁有更大的影响力
在阅读你写的帖子？
在阅读你写的帖子？
11:12
Couldn't we just give people more
incentives to engage in conversations,
incentives to engage in conversations,
195
660846
4366
为什么不能创造更大的动机
让人们参与对话，
让人们参与对话，
11:17
rather than just broadcasting
opinions all the time?
opinions all the time?
196
665236
2667
而非一直宣传观点？
11:20
Or reward people for reading
197
668788
1398
或是奖励人们阅读
11:22
and responding to views
that they disagree with?
that they disagree with?
198
670210
2356
和评论那些他们不同意的观点？
11:26
And also, make it socially acceptable
that we change our minds,
that we change our minds,
199
674082
4713
同时，让改变自己的观点
变成社会所接纳的行为，
变成社会所接纳的行为，
11:30
or probably even reward that?
200
678819
1692
或者可能的话，奖励这样的行为？
11:33
What if we have a matrix that says
how many people changed their minds,
how many people changed their minds,
201
681343
4149
如果我们有一个模型
可以显示有多少人改变他们的观点，
可以显示有多少人改变他们的观点，
11:37
and that becomes part
of our social media experience?
of our social media experience?
202
685516
3156
成为社交媒体经验的一部分？
11:41
If I could track how many people
are changing their minds,
are changing their minds,
203
689206
3077
如果我能追踪多少人改变了想法，
11:44
I'd probably write more
thoughtfully, trying to do that,
thoughtfully, trying to do that,
204
692307
3701
我可能会写得更认真仔细，
试图更有说服力，
试图更有说服力，
11:48
rather than appealing to the people
who already agree with me
who already agree with me
205
696032
3705
而不是在那些和我观点相同的人那里
11:51
and "liking" because I just
confirmed their biases.
confirmed their biases.
206
699761
2561
获得“赞”，因为我只是在
确认他们的偏见。
确认他们的偏见。
11:55
We also need to think about effective
crowdsourcing mechanisms,
crowdsourcing mechanisms,
207
703512
3656
我们也需要思考
有效地众包机制，
有效地众包机制，
11:59

208
707192

710941
2290
奖励那些参与进来的人。
12:05

从本质上讲，我们需要重新思考
今天的社交媒体系统，

我们没有答案，
12:38
