Topics
Abigail Shrier: 作者回顾了自己的经历，从在名校学习到成为畅销书作家，再到成为众矢之的，她认为这种经历让她获得了自由。她批判了当今社会中，人们的意志受到技术和社会因素的操纵，自由度远低于过去。她以亚马逊、维基百科等平台为例，指出算法和编辑倾向性会影响信息呈现，进而影响用户的观点和自由意志。她还批判了那些要求员工保持沉默的机构，认为这些机构已经失去了其原本的价值。她呼吁大学生们应该夺回表达自己思想的权利，在看到不公正时勇敢站出来，而不是沉默。她认为人生中最值得骄傲的时刻，往往是那些违背既定程序，坚持自我意志的时刻。她鼓励年轻人要勇敢地表达自己的观点，不要被社会压力所裹挟。 Barry Weiss: 主持人介绍了Abigail Shrier及其著作《不可逆转的损害》所引发的争议，并指出在当今社会，人们很容易被贴上英雄或恶棍的标签，这取决于他们所接触到的现实版本。他强调了Shrier在普林斯顿大学演讲时遭遇的阻力和威胁，以及她演讲内容的重要性。

Shownotes Transcript

Abigail Shrier, the author of the bestselling book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” was recently invited to speak at Princeton. But this being a college campus in 2021, you can imagine what happened next. The event was moved off campus. It was limited to 35 people. And the police had to be called in because of threats.

But despite the limited audience, Shrier’s message that night was loud and clear: don’t buckle in the face of the mobs. Don’t become a sock puppet to your institution or employer or social circle. Tell the truth. Speak your mind. Reclaim your freedom.

It’s a speech that deserves to be heard by as many people–especially young people–as possible. So today, we share it with all of you.
