(笑聲) 故事的重點(diǎn)是 相信自己的判斷力 相信自己站在對(duì)的一邊 是非常危險(xiǎn)的 This internal sense of rightness that we all experience so often is not a reliable guide to what is actually going on in the external world. 我們心中時(shí)常感覺(jué)到的 理直氣壯的感覺(jué) 在真實(shí)世界中 并不是個(gè)可靠的向?qū)А?br /> And when we act like it is, and we stop entertaining the possibility that we could be wrong, well thatamp。39。s when we end up doing things 當(dāng)我們依此行事 不再思考我們是否犯錯(cuò) 我們就有可能 dumping 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, or torpedoing the global economy. 把兩百灣加侖的石油倒進(jìn)墨西哥灣 或是顛覆世界經(jīng)濟(jì) So this is a huge practical problem. 這是個(gè)很實(shí)際的問(wèn)題 But itamp。39。s also a huge social problem. 這也是個(gè)很大的社會(huì)問(wèn)題 Think for a moment about what it means to feel right. “感覺(jué)對(duì)”究竟是什么意思 It means that you think that your beliefs just perfectly reflect reality. 這代表著你認(rèn)為你的信念 和真實(shí)是一致的 And when you feel that way, youamp。39。ve got a problem to solve, which is, how are you going to explain all of those people who disagree with you? 當(dāng)你有這種感覺(jué)的時(shí)候 你的問(wèn)題就大了 因?yàn)槿绻闶菍?duì)的 為甚么還有人和你持不同意見(jiàn)? It turns out, most of us explain those people the same way, by resorting to a series of unfortunate assumptions. 于是我們往往用同一種 思考方式去解釋這些異議 The first thing we usually do when someone disagrees with us is we just assume theyamp。39。re ignorant. 第一是當(dāng)他人不同意我們的說(shuō)法 我們便覺(jué)得他們無(wú)知 They donamp。39。t have access to the same information that we do, and when we generously share that information with them, theyamp。39。re going to see the light and e on over to our
