Jordan Peterson: 我越来越担心信息格局的破碎使我们实际上已经变得无法管理。超级互联互通和沟通便利性导致了当今的局面，我们不再有共同的故事，文化因此瓦解。我们需要应用旧的标准，因为守门机构也暴露出了灾难性的缺陷。巴别塔的故事警示我们，当文化的目标是人类的自我膨胀时，语言会崩溃，文化会病态化并解体。我们正朝着错误的目标前进，导致语言崩溃，缺乏共同的参考点。 Sam Harris: 我也担心信息格局的破碎，独立媒体也是问题的一部分。一些播客不负责任地为人们提供了平台，让他们不加批判地传播分裂和危险的虚假信息，尤其是在10月7日之后，一些大型播客平台为大屠杀否认者和修正主义者提供了平台。我们培养了一种不在乎事实的文化，人们只想相信符合他们确认偏见的故事。守门人已经放弃了守门，我不相信《纽约时报》印刷的任何东西，我认为大学已经无法挽救。机构失败的解药不是新标准，而是应用旧标准。

Shownotes Transcript

Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris explore the breakdown of institutions in the digital age, and how difficult it’s become to identify what’s true and what’s not. Harris voices deep concern over the role independent media and social platforms play in amplifying misinformation, especially post-October 7th. They discuss the addictive, fragmenting nature of platforms like X, the erosion of trust in institutions, the dangers of AI-generated identity theft — and possible solutions. The result is a sobering analysis of epistemic collapse, digital psychopathy, and the urgent need for institutional structure in a world where mass information fails us.
