And now we come to the most alarming delusion of all. 现在,我们要讲所有幻觉中最需要防范的一种。 The idea that other people don't matter. Their feelings. Their needs. 这种幻觉就是:觉得其他人都不重要,他们的感受、他们的需求都不重要。 Imagine a cave where those inside never see the ourside world. 来想象一个洞穴吧,这里面的人从来没有见过外面的世界。 Instead, they see shadows of their world projected on a wall. 他们看见的只有投射在墙上的影子。 The world they see in the shadows is not the real world. But it's real to them. 他们在影子中看到的那个世界当然不是真实的世界,但他们就认为这是真的。 If you were to show them the world as it actually is, they would reject it as incompreshensible . 而如果你把真实的世界展示给他们看,他们反而会抵制它,因为他们理解不了这个世界。 Now what if, instead of being in a cave, you were out in the world, except you couldn't see it. 那么现在,如果你不是住在一个洞穴里,而是住在真实的世界里,只是你看不见这个世界呢? Because you weren't looking. You were only looking at what the media has shown you. 你看不见它,因为你并没有在看它,你只是在看媒体呈现给你的东西。 |
