  • A lot of people want to believe in this concept of moral progress.
  • 许多人想要相信道德进步的这个概念
  • But can you reconcile that?
  • 但是这有可能达到和谐吗?
  • I think I understood you to say that you could
  • 我想我了解你所说的
  • reconcile that with a world that doesn't become one dimensional, where we all have to think the same.
  • 不要让世界变得只有一种道德,也不需要大家都只有一种想法
  • Paint your picture of what rolling the clock 50 years forward,
  • 你可以告诉我们,如果我们快转到50年后
  • 100 years forward, how you would like to think of the world, balancing moral progress with richness.
  • 100年后,你希望我们的世界能如何在道德进步和多元文化中找到平衡
  • Well, I think once you admit that we are on the path toward understanding our minds
  • 一旦我们承认我们走在解构理性的路上
  • at the level of the brain in some important detail,
  • 以理解大脑运作的方法
  • then you have to admit that we are going to understand all of the positive
  • 那么你也必须承认,我们将会更明白
  • and negative qualities of ourselves in much greater detail.
  • 我们身上的这些正面和负面的特质
  • So, we're going to understand positive social emotion like empathy and compassion,
  • 我们会理解正面的社群特质,像是同情心、仁爱心
  • and we're going to understand the factors that encourage it -- whether they're genetic,
  • 我们将会了解是怎样的元素,帮助我们有这些特质--无论是基因
  • whether they're how people talk to one another, whether they're economic systems,
  • 是人们对话的方式,是经济体系
  • and insofar as we begin to shine light on that we are inevitably going to converge on that fact space.
  • 我们正要开始发现并无可避免的步向这些事实
  • So, everything is not going to be up for grabs.
  • 我们不能再自由心证
  • It's not going to be like veiling my daughter from birth
  • 为了得到男人的青睐,就让我刚出生的女儿蒙头
  • is just as good as teaching her to be confident and well-educated
  • 或是教导她成为一个自信而有教养的女性
  • in the context of men who do desire women.
  • 是完全不同的两件事
  • I mean I don't think we need an NSF grant to know that compulsory veiling is a bad idea --
  • 我想我们不需要国家科学基金会特别拨款,才能发现强制女人蒙头很不好
  • but at a certain point we're going to be able to scan the brains of everyone involved and actually interrogate them.
  • 到了某种程度,我们可以扫描每个人的头脑并研究它们
  • Do people love their daughters just as much in these systems?
  • 人们真的爱它们的女儿吗,就算在那样的文化下?
  • And I think there are clearly right answers to that.
  • 我想这些问题是有正确答案的。
