Cass Sunstein has written Going to Extremes for those confounded by a country that remains stubbornly polarized. In clear, precise language, he explains that extremism is a consequence of the company we keep. He challenges not only what we think, but how we come to our beliefs, and he demonstrates that diversity of thought is the one ingredient necessary for both a healthy state and a working democracy

Why do people become extremists? What makes people become so dismissive of opposing views? Why is political and cultural polarization so pervasive in America? Why do groups of teenagers, investors, and corporations take unnecessary risks? What leads groups to engage in such destructive acts as terrorism and ethic cleansing?

In Going to Extremes, renowned legal scholar and best-selling author Cass Sunstein offers startling insights into why and when people gravitate toward extremism. Sunstein marshals an abundance of evidence that shows that when like-minded people talk to one another, they tend to become more extreme in their views than they were before. This point applies to such diverse groups as religious organizations, corporate boards, investment clubs, and White House officials. Sunstein introduces original research to show that when liberals are brought together to debate affirmative action, they end up more supportive of it, while conservatives brought together to discuss same-sex unions become skeptical about same-sex unions. In courtrooms, radio stations, and chatrooms, enclaves of like-minded people are breeding ground for extreme movements.

Sunstein shows that a good way to create an extremist group, or a cult of any kind, is to separate members from the rest of society, either physically or psychologically. This disturbing finding casts new light on the dangers that arise whenever people self-select into niche groups of the like-minded. Sunstein's findings help to explain such diverse phenomena as political outrage on the Internet, unanticipated "blockbusters" in the film and music industry, the success of the disability rights movement, ethnic conflict in Iraq and former Yugoslavia, and Islamic terrorism.

Providing a wealth of real-world examples--sometimes entertaining, sometimes alarming-- Sunstein offers a fresh explanation of why partisanship has become so bitter and debate so rancorous in America and abroad--and of what concrete steps citizens and nations might take to halt the drift towards unjustified extremism.

大意是,一堆想法相似的人凑一起讨论,得到一致意见的时候,这个意见往往比单个个体的意见更加极端。这样的极端思想推动人们做出行动,有时候是好事,比如推动平等,照顾残疾人等等,有时候是坏事,比如恐怖组织。 让意见完全相反的两派人数相似的人按派别一起讨论,可能大家...

几年前看过乌合之众,觉得人群的心理研究很有意思,所以在书摊上看到这本书时,忍不住买了回来。 虽然感觉翻译得不是特别好,但总体说来该书还是有可取之处的。 这里只举几个点: 首先先验的偏见,我觉得不仅适用于人群,对于单个人其实也是这样的...

社会有不同意见是正常的,然而现在很多人对持有相反意见者的对抗心态比以前强烈的多。不只是网络放大了这种撕裂,而是由于我们以错误的方式去使用网络才导致裂痕加深。当中最大问题在于“同温层”,网络时代我们和内容以在网上找到意气相投的网友,造成一种朋友很多的错觉,而...

暂时没有看见什么很新鲜的东西。不过还挺可读的。跟innovation design的书对比度有意思。如何平衡group identity (一般认为是好事)跟group think?跟形成echo chamber呢?看看作者如何处理. 前半还可以,后面怎么好像很多重复的。
