Topics
Barry Weiss: 本期节目探讨了互联网对社会和政治的深刻影响,以及由此引发的公众反抗和精英阶层的应对策略。互联网连接了全球数十亿人,但也带来了信息过载、极端情绪传播等问题,导致社会和政治动荡。特朗普的出现以及各种社会运动的兴起,都是互联网时代更大社会现象的症状。 Martin Gurri: 互联网时代,公众与精英之间的矛盾日益突出。公众利用互联网平台表达诉求,对现有制度和精英阶层表达不满。这些运动缺乏统一的领导、纲领和意识形态,其共同点是反对现存的制度和精英。精英阶层则试图恢复20世纪的秩序,但收效甚微。 Martin Gurri: 互联网时代,传统媒体的地位下降,其商业模式和价值观都发生了变化。公众对新闻媒体的不信任度上升,部分原因是信息获取渠道的多样化,以及媒体对某些事实的隐瞒。精英阶层对公众的反抗采取了防御和反击的策略,但效果并不理想。

The printing press transformed humanity in the 1400s, but Gurri argues that we are now living through a more radical transformation. One that is just beginning. Gurri's prescient book) is recommended by our host more than any other. If you haven't read it, don't wait.
