Listen line by line

  1. It is really hard to kind of get credible information out there that's also compelling when you're competing in a world where, where there's so much, it's so easy to generate content that is compelling that is not accurate.

    在这样一个竞争激烈的世界里,想要传播既可信又引人入胜的信息真的很难,因为生成那些引人入胜却不准确的内容实在太容易了。

  2. Right, and so you know, just if you do the math, it's like if you say something, it's probably going to be wrong.

    确实,所以你知道,只要算算概率,如果你随口说点什么,那很可能就是错的。

  3. Yeah, unless you take a lot of steps to figure out if it's actually true.

    是的,除非你采取很多步骤去核实它是否真的属实。

  4. What is a health metric you wish people would focus on more?

    你希望人们多关注哪项健康指标?

  5. So I think that we are inundated with health metrics.

    我认为我们现在被各种健康指标淹没了。
