A Black man goes undercover in the alt-right | Theo E.J. Wilson

譯者: Lilian Chiu 審譯者: 品妤 劉

I took a cell phone

我拿了一支手機，

and accidentally made myself famous.

不小心就讓我自己成名了。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I was just talking about the things that I cared about,

我只是在談論我在乎的事情，

but with the click of a button

但因為按了個按鈕，

and an incendiary viral video

以及一支很煽動的影片 像病毒被傳開，

I propelled myself into overnight stardom.

我就讓自己一夜成名了。

When I say overnight,

我說「一夜」，

I mean I literally woke up the next morning

意思就是隔天早上我起床時，

with so many notifications on my phone,

手機顯示一大堆通知，

I thought I slept through a national tragedy.

我還以為睡覺時 發生了什麼國家悲劇。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

It was the craziest thing, guys,

各位，這件事真的很瘋狂，

but when it came to my influence and my exposure,

但是它帶給我的影響力和曝光度，

I literally took a quantum leap.

真的是大躍進。

So I made more videos

所以我製作了更多影片，

and the subject matter of my videos

我這些影片的主題，

was often the most divisive subject in American life,

通常是美國生活中最會 引發分歧意見的主題，

but it was the way that I articulated race

但，正是我明確表現種族的方式，

that made me somewhat of a digital lightning rod.

讓我成為了一支數位避雷針。

See, being a survivor myself of police brutality

我自己就是警察暴行下的生還者，

and having lost a childhood friend,

且我失去了兒時的朋友

Alonzo Ashley,

阿隆索·艾希利，

at the hands of the police,

他死在警察的手上，

I had a little something to say about the topic.

對這個話題，我有些話要說。

You see, this was at the height of the Black Lives Matter furor

這是「黑人的命也是命」 運動的狂怒高峰，

and people seemed to be turning to me to articulate their viewpoints,

似乎人們會來找我， 來明確表達他們的觀點，

and honestly, it was sort of overwhelming.

老實說，我有點無法招架。

You see, the internet has this interesting quality.

網際網路有種很有趣的特性。

In one way, it totally brought the world together,

從某方面來看，它讓世界團結，

and I remember being a kid

我記得我小時候，

and all of this utopian propaganda was being dumped on us

我們被這些幻想的宣傳給淹沒了，

about how the World Wide Web

都是在說網際網路

was going to span the reaches of people across the globe.

將如何讓人們能接觸的 範圍擴及到全球。

But as it turns out, people are people.

但結果發現，人就是人。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And this magical superhighway

而這條魔法般的高速公路

also took the demons of our nature

也把我們天性中的惡魔喚醒，

and gave them Ferraris.

還給他們法拉利跑車。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

You see, technology, y'all, is a lot like money.

科技和金錢很像。

It just brings out what's already inside you and amplifies it.

它會把你內在已經存在的 特性帶出來並放大。

And so I soon became familiar with the phenomenon of the internet troll.

很快，我就開始熟悉了 「網路白目」的現象。

These guys seem to live beneath the bridges

這些人似乎住在前面提到的

of said superhighway --

高速公路的底下……

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And they also missed the memo about the enlightenment of the internet age.

他們也漏掉了 網路啟蒙時代的備忘錄。

I remember being called

我還記得我曾被在網路上

highly colorful racial slurs

用非常帶種族歧視的字眼辱罵。

by those who use the anonymity of the internet

罵我的人利用網路匿名的特性

as a Klan hood.

做出 3K 黨行為。

And some of them were pretty creative, actually,

其實有些辱罵還蠻有創意的，

but others were pretty wounding,

但其他的則很傷人，

especially navigating the post-traumatic world

特別是在生存者的後創傷世界中，

of a police brutality survivor

我是「黑人的命也是命」高峰期時

in the height of Black Lives Matter,

警方暴行之下的生存者，

with all of these people being killed on my timeline.

我的動態時報上 出現了好多被殺害的人。

To these trolls, I wasn't a human.

對這些白目而言，我不是人類。

I was an idea, an object,

我是一個概念、一個物件、

a caricature.

一個諷刺漫畫。

Did I mention that this race stuff can be kind of divisive?

我有沒有提過，

這種種族問題可能會引起分化？

You see, I'm an innately curious person

我天生就很有好奇心，

and as I drew my sword to engage in epic battles in the comment section --

當我拔出我的劍 去參加史詩般的評論戰役……

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I also began to notice

我也開始注意到

that a few of my trolls actually had brains,

攻擊我的白目當中 有幾個其實是有腦的，

which made me even more curious and what to understand them even further.

這讓我更好奇， 想要進一步了解他們。

And although these supposed morons

雖然這些應該是白痴的人

engaged in what appeared to be original thought,

參與了顯然是原創的思想，

I said to myself,

我告訴我自己：

"Um, these guys are highly misinformed,

「呃，這些人被嚴重誤導了，

at least according to my knowledge."

至少就我所知是如此。」

Where are these guys getting these arguments from?

這些人的論點是從哪來的啊？

比如，是不是有個平行宇宙，

Like, was there some kind of alternative universe

with alternative facts?

裡面有著平行事實？

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Was history and gravity optional over there?

在那裡，歷史和引力是不是選修課？

I don't know.

我不知道。

But I needed to know. Like, I wanted to know.

但我需要知道，我想要知道。

And as it turns out, I had no idea about digital echo chambers.

結果發現，我完全不懂數位迴聲室。

That same target marketing algorithm

那個用來塞一堆

that feeds you more of the products you like to buy

你想要買的商品給你的演算法，

also feeds you more of the news that you like to hear.

也會塞給你一堆你想聽的新聞。

I had been living in an online universe

我一直住在一個線上宇宙中，

that just reflected my worldview back to me.

它只會把我的世界觀反射回來給我。

So my timeline was pretty liberal.

所以，我的動態時報挺自由派的。

I had no Breitbart or Infowars or Fox News.

我沒有極右派的 《布賴特巴特新聞網》、

《資訊戰》或《福斯新聞頻道》。

No, no, I was all MSNBC and The Daily Show,

沒有，我的都是立場中間的 MSNBC 新聞、

惡搞的《喬恩·史都華每日秀》、

CNN and theGrio, right?

CNN、左派新聞 theGrio，對吧？

Well, these trolls were hopping the dimensional doorway

而這些白目跳過了次元入口，

and I needed to figure out how.

而我必須要找出他們如何辦到的。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So what I decided to do

所以，我決定要做的是，

was trick the Facebook algorithm

去騙過臉書的演算法，

into feeding me more news that I didn't necessarily agree with,

讓它塞給我更多 我不見得認同的新聞，

and this worked fine for a while, but it wasn't enough,

這有一陣子還算行得通，但還不夠，

because my online footprint

因為我的網路足跡

already established the patterns that I like to hear.

已經建立了我想聽見什麼的模式。

So with the anonymity of the internet,

所以，透過網路的匿名特性，

I went undercover.

我去做了臥底。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I set up this ghost profile and went crazy.

我設定了幽靈帳號，且大搞特搞。

Now, on a practical level, it was very simple,

就實際面來說，這是很簡單的，

but on an emotional level, it was kind of daunting,

但就情緒面來說，就有點令人怯步，

especially with the racist vitriol that I had experienced.

特別是在我經歷過 種族的辛辣批評之後。

But what I didn't realize is that my trolls were inoculating me,

但我了解到，攻擊我的白目 是在給我做預防接種，

thickening my skin,

讓我的皮膚變厚，

making me immune to viewpoints that I didn't necessarily agree with,

讓我對於我不見得同意的觀點免疫，

and so I didn't react to the same things as I would have several months prior.

所以我的反應就會 和幾個月之前不同。

All right? So I pressed on.

所以，我加緊繼續進行下去。

Noticing that this stuff also worked on YouTube,

我注意到，這種演算法 也有在 YouTube 上運作，

I became Lucius25, white supremacist lurker --

我就變身為 Lucius25， 白人至上主義潛水者……

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And digitally I began to infiltrate the infamous alt-right movement.

我開始以數位的方式 滲透聲名狼藉的另類右派運動。

Now, my doppelgänger

而我的幽靈

was Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter character --

是愛德加·萊斯·巴勒斯的 約翰·卡特角色......

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

a sci-fi hero who was once a Confederate soldier.

他是個科幻英雄， 曾是南北戰爭時南部邦聯的士兵。

And to think, like, years ago, I would have needed acting training

想想看，如果是在數年前， 我還需要受演技訓練、

and, like, makeup and a fake ID.

也要有化妝、假身份證才行得通。

Now I could just lurk.

現在我只要網路上潛水就好了。

And so I started

所以，我一開始

with a little Infowars,

試了一點極右派網站《資訊戰》，

went on into some American Renaissance,

接著來些白人優越主義媒體 《美國文藝復興》、

National Vanguard Alliance,

新納粹組織《國家先鋒》網站，

and, you know, I started commenting on videos,

我開始對影片發表評論，

talking bad about Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter.

說非裔民權運動家阿爾·夏普頓和 「黑人的命也是命」的壞話。

I started bemoaning race baiters like Eric Holder and Barack Obama

我開始酸用種族譁眾取寵的人， 如埃里克·霍爾德和巴拉克·歐巴馬，

and just mirroring the antiblack sentiments

我只是把丟向我的那些反黑人情緒

that were thrown at me.

給反射回去。

And to be honest, it was kind of exhilarating.

老實說，還蠻讓人振奮的。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Like, I would literally spend days clicking through my new racist profile --

我有時會花好幾天一直點擊 我的新種族主義者個人檔案──

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Goofing off at work in Aryan land. It was something else.

工作時到種族優越的 「雅利安」天地偷懶，

真是夠好玩的。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And so I then started visiting some of the pages

接著，我開始造訪一些

先前留言給我的白目的個人頁面，

of my former trolls,

and a lot of these guys were just regular Joes,

這些人當中有不少 都只是一般老百姓，

a lot of outdoorsmen, hunters, computer nerds,

有很多喜愛戶外活動者、 獵人、電腦迷，

some of them family guys with videos of their families.

有些人是有家室的， 有分享家庭的影片。

I mean, for all I know, some of y'all could be in this room right now. Right?

我的意思是，有些人甚至 有可能就在這間講廳中，對吧？

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

But when I went undercover, I found a lovely plethora of characters,

但，當我去臥底時， 我發現了一幫超可愛的人物，

luminaries like Milo Yiannopoulos, Richard Spencer and David Duke.

像保守派的米羅·雅諾波魯斯、

理查德·斯賓塞、 大衛·杜克等傑出人士。

All of these guys were thought leaders in their own right,

這些人本身就都是思想領袖，

but over time, the alt-right movement ended up using their information

但隨著時間，另類右派運動 到頭來利用他們的資訊

to fuel their momentum.

來激發其氣勢。

And I'm going to tell you what else led to the momentum of the alt-right:

我來告訴各位，還有什麼 造成了另類右派的氣勢：

the left wing's wholesale demonization of everything white and male.

左翼大規模地把所有白人、 男性的一切都給妖魔化。

If you are a pale-skinned penis-haver, you're in league with Satan.

如果你是白皮膚又有老二的人， 你就是撒旦的同盟。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Now, would you believe,

你是否相信，

would you believe that some people find that offensive?

你是否相信，有些人會覺得 這樣是很冒犯人的？

And --

且……

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And so, I mean, listen,

我的意思是，聽著，

the fact is that millennials get a lifetime of diet brand history.

事實是，千禧世代的人 一生所見的都是簡化歷史。

I mean, America seems to be hellbent on filling its textbooks

我的意思是，美國似乎 拼命把教科書裝滿

with CliffsNotes versions of its dark past.

CliffsNotes 那種 精簡版的美國黑暗過去。

This severely, severely decontextualizes race and the anger associated with it,

做了嚴重的去情境化， 將歷史相關的種族及憤怒排除，

and that is fertile ground for alt-facts to grow.

那就是另類事實 可以成長的肥沃土地。

Add in the wild landscape of the internet

加上網路如此廣大，

and it's easy to sell rebranded "Mein Kampf" ideas

很容易就能把希特勒那套 《我的奮鬥》的想法重新包裝，

to a generation who has been failed by public schools.

賣給被公立學校辜負的世代。

A lot of these ideas, easily debunked.

很多這些想法，很容易被駁斥。

Alt-facts have that quality.

另類事實有這樣的特質。

However, one theme kept screaming at me through the subtext of those arguments,

然而，有個主題一直透過 這些論點的弦外之音向我大叫，

and that was,

那就是，

why should I be hated for who I cannot help but be?

我無法選擇我的出身， 為什麼我要因此而被痛恨？

Now, as a black man in America, that resonated with me.

身為在美國的黑人， 我對這點有共鳴。

I have spent so much time

我花了好多時間

defending myself against attempts to demonize me

在別人試圖將我妖魔化時 為我自己辯護，

and make me apologize for who I am,

他們想要我為自己的出身道歉，

trying to portray me as something that I'm not,

他們試圖將我描述成 一個並非我的人，

some kind of thug or gangster, a menace to society.

某種混混、幫派份子、 對社會的威脅。

Unexpected compassion.

未預期的同情。

Wow.

哇。

Now, listen,

聽著，

the historical source of the demonization of black males and white males

黑人男性和白人男性 被妖魔化的歷史來源

is highly different,

是非常不同的，

and where you fall on this argument,

而決定你是否會落入 這個論點的時間點，

sadly, tends to be an accident of birth.

很遺憾，通常是你出生時。

Now, you're probably surprised by this perspective,

你可能會對這個觀點感到驚訝，

and so was I.

我本來也是。

Never in a billion years did I think that I could have some kind of compassion

我從來沒有想過，

恨我入骨的人會對我表示同情。

for people who hated my guts.

Now, mind you, not enough compassion like I want to be friends.

請注意，這同情還沒到 讓我想要交朋友的程度。

I don't have infinite olive branches to extend to people

我並沒有無限的橄欖枝 （象徵和平）來延伸到

who, like, would not want to see me on this planet. Right?

那些不想看見我存在於 地球上的人，對吧？

But just enough compassion to understand how they got to where they are.

但這同情的量剛好足以 讓我願意去了解

他們如何走到現在這一步的。

And to be honest,

老實說，

there were a couple of fair points.

有幾點是公平的。

One of them was how liberals have this wide acceptance for everybody

其中一點是，自由主義者對於 每個人都有廣大的接受度，

except for those with honestly held conservative viewpoints.

除了那些觀點保守的人。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Heaven forbid you love God, this country and mean it. Right?

老天，你愛上帝，愛這個國家， 且是真心的。對吧？

And another thing that they talked about was this fear that they had

他們談論的另一件事是他們的恐懼，

of something that they labeled as "white genocide,"

對於他們所謂的 「白色大屠殺」的恐懼，

that diversity would be a force that would wipe them out.

「多樣性」會是一股力量， 足以將他們剷除。

Now listen, I know what it is to fear

聽著，我知道為了 你的族人的命運而感到恐懼

for the fate of your people.

是怎樣的感覺。

Between crack, AIDS, gang violence,

在有著古柯鹼、愛滋、幫派暴力、

mass incarceration, gentrification, police shootings,

大規模監禁、中產階級化， 及警方槍擊的世界上，

black people have more than enough reasons to stay up at night.

黑人在晚上無法入眠是非常合理的。

But if nature is into diversity and you are not,

但如果大自然熱衷於多樣性， 而你卻不熱衷，

you're going to lose that fight, buddy.

你就會輸掉這場仗，夥伴。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

(Applause)

（掌聲）

You see, nature doesn't care about your race. That's man-made.

要知道，大自然不在乎你的種族。

那是人編造的。

Nature just cares about healthy organisms,

大自然只在乎健康有機體，

and your precious ethnic features are expendable to that aim.

就這個目的來說，你珍貴的 民族特徵是不重要的。

So the moment that you let go of that racist identity

所以，當你放下種族主義身份

and relatch onto humanity,

並與人性重新連結的時候，

all your problems go away.

你所有的問題都會消失。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

I'm going to tell you what race ain't about to die out:

我要告訴各位，什麼種族不會滅絕：

the human race.

人類。

Join the party. The water's great.

來玩吧！水很棒！

Until the water gets too hot, but that's another TED Talk.

除非水變得太燙， 但那是另一個 TED 演說了。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

The point is that to get to this point of understanding,

重點是，若要達到這樣的理解，

you have to let go of that fear

你得要放下那恐懼，

and embrace your curiosity,

擁抱你的好奇心，

and sadly, too many people will not take that journey

可惜的是，太多人不願走這趟旅行，

to see the world from the other side.

不願去從另一邊看看這個世界。

And, I mean, let's be honest,

咱們別自欺欺人，

that doesn't just go for progressives,

並不只有改革派是如此，

but also to the right wing and conservatives.

右翼和保守份子亦是如此。

You know, as fair as some of their points were,

雖然他們的一些觀點是公平的，

they were still trapped in their own echo chambers,

他們仍然被困在 他們自己的迴聲室裡，

recycling old, outdated points of view,

回收老舊、過時的觀點，

never getting a diversity in perspective,

永遠不能得到多樣化的觀點，

not making them well-rounded in their worldview.

他們的世界觀也無法面面俱道。

So they're not hearing certain anti-racist and political voices,

所以，他們聽不見某些 反種族主義和政治的聲音，

voices like Tim Wise

這些聲音包括蒂姆·懷斯、

and Michelle Alexander, Dr. Joy DeGruy, Boyce Watkins, Tariq Nasheed.

蜜雪兒·亞歷山大、喬伊·迪葛萊、

博伊斯·瓦特金斯， 及塔瑞克·納希德的聲音。

All of these voices have the answers to the questions that they want,

所有這些聲音都有 他們想要的問題的答案，

but unfortunately they will not hear them due to the power of these echo chambers.

但不幸的是，他們聽不見， 因為迴聲室的力量太大。

We have got to break out of these digital divides,

我們得要脫離這些數位的分歧，

because as our technology advances,

因為隨著我們的科技進步，

the consequences of our tribalism become more dangerous.

我們的部落意識帶來的後果 會變得更危險。

And this whole experience taught me something:

這整個經驗教了我一件事：

our gadgets ain't going to save us.

我們的小玩意兒無法解救我們。

All these technological devices

所有這些科技裝置

are only mastery of the universe out there, not the one in here.

只是掌握外面的宇宙， 而非裡面的這個。

And so that's all IQ, not EQ.

所以，那全是智商，不是情商。

That's a dangerous imbalance.

那是種很危險的不平衡。

Where do you get the emotional intelligence,

你從哪能得到情緒智商、

the character development,

性格發展、

the virtues of patience, forbearance, compassion,

耐心的美德、寬容、同情，

you know, the things that make sure that these devices, however advanced,

也就是能用來確保這些裝置 ──不論多先進──

become a blessing and not a curse?

都只會變成福賜而非詛咒的東西？

Seems to be me that humanity itself needs an upgrade.

就我看來，人性本身需要升級。

Now --

所以──

(Applause)

（掌聲）

That's a big task, understandably,

那是項很大的任務，可以理解，

but I don't believe in any kind of unbeatable monster.

但我不相信有什麼怪獸是打不敗的。

There was no giant out there without perhaps a simple Achilles heel.

不可能有個巨人卻沒有 比如像是個簡單的阿基里斯腱。

And what if I told you

讓我告訴你們

that one of the best ways to actually overcome this

克服這一點，最好的方式之一，

is to have courageous conversations

就是和難搞的人進行勇敢的交談，

with difficult people,

people who do not see the world the same way that you see the world?

也就是和你用不同方式看世界的人。

Oh yes, folks, conversations may be indeed the key to that upgrade,

是的，各位，交談 可能就是那升級的關鍵，

because remember,

因為，切記，

language was the first form of virtual reality.

語言是虛擬現實的第一個形式。

It is literally a symbolic representation of the physical world,

它其實就是物質世界的 一種象徵性表現，

and through this device, we change the physical world.

透過這個裝置， 我們能改變物質世界。

Keep in mind, conversations stop violence,

牢記在心，交談能阻止暴力，

conversations start countries,

交談是國家的開始，

they build bridges,

它們能建立橋樑，

and when the chips are down,

當晶片掛掉的時候，

conversations are the last tools that humans use

交談就是人類在拿起槍枝之前

before they pick up their guns.

所能使用的最後工具。

And I ain't talking about online safe conversations

我說的並不是用筆電在網路上

from the security of your laptop.

做安全的交談。

No.

不是。

I'm talking about in-your-face conversations with real, breathing people.

我在說的是面對面的交談， 和會呼吸的真人交談。

And for me, this looks like running a community forum

對我來說，這就像是 經營一個社群論壇，

called Shop Talk Live.

叫做「Shop Talk Live」。

Now, in Shop Talk Live -- somebody's been there, right?

在「Shop Talk Live」中── 有人有去過，對吧？

In Shop Talk Live,

在「Shop Talk Live」中，

we have the conversations that change lives.

我們有能改變人生的交談。

We meet the community right where they are,

我們直接接觸社區的所在，

and we've done everything from divert gang violence in real time

我們什麼都做， 從即時轉移幫派暴力，

to help find people jobs

到協助人們找工作，

to mentoring homeless youth.

到教導無家可歸的青年。

And the reason why we needed to do this

我們需要這麼做的理由，

is because there was a severe lack of trust in the black community

是因為古柯鹼時代的暴力

due to the violence of the crack era.

造成黑人社區中非常缺乏信任。

And so we ended up taking agency into our own hands,

所以我們最後決定 將代理權收回自己手中，

solving our own problems,

自己解決自己的問題，

not waiting for anybody else.

不要等其他人來做。

And the truth is,

真相是，

from the mayor to the felon,

從市長到重罪犯，

you're going to find them in that barber shop.

你在理髮店都可以找到他們。

And so what we did was just organize what was already going on.

所以我們所做的只是把 已經發生的事組織起來。

And so what I started doing was mining these alternative viewpoints

我開始挖掘這些平行數位宇宙，

from these alternative digital universes,

挖出這些平行觀點，

dissecting them, breaking them down into controversial talking points.

解析它們，把它們分解成 有爭議的交談重點。

Then, with my cell phone,

接著，用我的手機，

I flipped the internet against itself

我翻轉了網路讓它對抗它自己，

and began to broadcast these live conversations

並開始轉播這些現場交談

to my online followers.

給我線上的追縱者看。

This made them want to leave the safety of their laptops

這讓他們想要離開 躲在筆電後的安全感，

and meet us in person to have real conversations

與我們親自見面，

with real people in real life.

和真實人生的真實人類 做真實的交談。

And we did this. Thank you.

我們做到了這點。謝謝。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Sometimes I sit back, and I reflect on the paradox

有時，我會坐下來，思考這個矛盾：

of me just trying to solve the problems,

我嘗試解決問題，

us trying to solve the problems in our own communities --

我們嘗試解決 我們自己社區的問題──

we build bridges to so many other communities,

我們建立橋樑，通往許多其他社區，

from the LGBTQ community to the Arab immigrant community

從 LGBTQ（同性雙性跨性非異性戀） 社區，到阿拉伯移民社區，

and even sat down with somebody with a Confederate flag on their hat

甚至和戴著有南方邦聯旗幟 帽子的人坐下來，

and talked about the things that actually matter.

談論真正重要的事情。

It is time that we stop trying

我們該要停止嘗試

to hack our way around the human experience.

硬砍出一條路來繞過人類經驗了。

There is no way out of each other.

這樣彼此都沒有出路。

Stop trying to find one.

別再嘗試找一條出路。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

We have to understand something.

我們得要了解一件事。

Human beings all want the same things

人類都想要同樣的東西，

and we have to go through each other to get these things.

我們得要透過彼此 才能得到這些東西。

These courageous conversations are the way that these bridges are built.

這些勇敢的交談就是 建立這些橋樑的方式。

It's time that we start seeing people as people

我們該要開始把人當人看待，

and not simply the ideas that we project onto them or react to.

而不是我們投射在他們身上的想法， 或是讓我們有所反應的想法。

Human beings are not the barriers

人類不是阻礙，

but the gateways to the very things that we want.

而是途徑，通往我們所想要的事物。

This is a collective and conscious evolution.

這是一種有意識的集體進化。

My journey began with a terribly popular cell phone video

我的旅程始於一支 非常熱門的手機影片，

and a fallen friend.

和一個倒下的朋友。

Your journey begins right about now.

你的旅程始於現在。

Join the renaissance in human connection.

加入人類連結的文藝復興。

It is going to happen with or without you.

不論有沒有你，它都會發生。

My suggestion: pick a topic, and start a community dialogue

我的建議：選個主題， 在你自己附近的地區，

in your neck of the woods.

開始進行社區對話。

Meet folks back in real life.

回到真實生活去和人見面。

And I'm going to tell you,

我要告訴各位，

when you trick the algorithm of your existence,

當你欺騙了關於你的存在的演算法，

you will get some diversified experiences.

你會得到一些多樣化的經驗。

It is time to grow, people.

該是成長的時候了，各位。

And when we do this, not if,

「當」我們這麼做，不是「若」，

it will be clear that the key to this upgrade

就會很清楚知道，升級的關鍵

was always our inner world, not some device that we create,

一直都在我們的內在世界， 而不在我們所創造出的裝置，

and the doorways to this experience is now,

而通往這經驗的途徑就是彼此，

and will forever be, each other.

現在如此，將來也永遠會是如此。

Thank you.

謝謝。

(Applause)

（掌聲）
