This TED Talk Is Full of Bad Ideas Gabe Whaley

Good morning, everyone. My name is Gabe. I'm a traveling car salesman. So today I'm actually, 大家早上好。我叫盖布，是个四处奔波的汽车推销员。所以今天，其实 大家早上好。我叫盖布，是个四处奔波的汽车推销员。所以今天，其实 I'm here to sell you the keys to this car, this beautiful vintage PT cruiser. I mean, 我是来给大家推销这辆漂亮复古的 PT Cruiser 的钥匙。你们看， 我是来给大家推销这辆漂亮复古的 PT Cruiser 的钥匙。你们看， look at that faux woodside paneling. I'm told it's got turbo. Look, it's a work of art. Trust me. 看看那仿木纹侧板。听说它还有涡轮。看，这就是件艺术品，相信我。 看看那仿木纹侧板。听说它还有涡轮。看，这就是件艺术品，相信我。 Now, when I say that I'm selling the keys to this car, I really mean it. I have 5,000 of these 说卖钥匙，我是认真的。我手里有 5000 把这样的 说卖钥匙，我是认真的。我手里有 5000 把这样的 keys and every single last one of them works to that car. You click the key fob once, it 钥匙，而且每一把都能打开那辆车。按一下遥控钥匙， 钥匙，而且每一把都能打开那辆车。按一下遥控钥匙， unlocks the door, you click it twice, it starts the engine. If you buy any one of these 5,000 keys 车门会解锁；按两下，发动机就启动。只要从我这 5000 把钥匙里买一把， 车门会解锁；按两下，发动机就启动。只要从我这 5000 把钥匙里买一把， for me, naturally you get access to the car, but so do 4,999 other people. Whatever happens 你当然能用这辆车，但另外 4999 个人也能用。接下来会发生什么， 你当然能用这辆车，但另外 4999 个人也能用。接下来会发生什么， beyond that is not necessarily my problem. Like I said, I'm just a car salesman. So you're probably 那就不一定关我的事了。毕竟我只是个汽车推销员。所以你现在可能会想： 那就不一定关我的事了。毕竟我只是个汽车推销员。所以你现在可能会想： wondering at this point, like, is this real? Is this guy just making this stuff up? Well, 这是真的吗？这人是不是在胡编？其实， 这是真的吗？这人是不是在胡编？其实， it is real. My name is Gabe and I'm actually the founder of an art collective based in New York 这是真的。我叫盖布，实际上是纽约一个艺术团体的创始人， 这是真的。我叫盖布，实际上是纽约一个艺术团体的创始人， City called Mischief. These are our logos. Mischief is a bit of a difficult beast to explain 它叫 MSCHF（读作 Mischief）。这些是我们的标志。MSCHF 有点难解释， 它叫 MSCHF（读作 Mischief）。这些是我们的标志。MSCHF 有点难解释， and I'm not going to even try to describe it. Let me give you a couple examples to help paint 我甚至不打算硬解释。还是举几个例子，帮你们理解， 我甚至不打算硬解释。还是举几个例子，帮你们理解， that picture or confuse you even further. Handbags. Handbags are really expensive and incredibly 或者让你们更糊涂。手提包。手提包很贵，而且神奇的是， 或者让你们更糊涂。手提包。手提包很贵，而且神奇的是， the smaller they get, the more expensive they become. So a few summers ago, we actually 它们越小，价格越高。所以几年前夏天，我们真的 它们越小，价格越高。所以几年前夏天，我们真的 endeavored to make the world's smallest handbag, microscopic in fact, and somehow it ended up 开始做世界上最小的手提包，小到显微镜级别。结果不知怎么， 开始做世界上最小的手提包，小到显微镜级别。结果不知怎么， selling an auction for $63,000, incidentally making it the world's most expensive handbag 它在拍卖会上卖了 6.3 万美元，顺便成了按体积算全世界最贵的手提包。 它在拍卖会上卖了 6.3 万美元，顺便成了按体积算全世界最贵的手提包。 per volume. Here's another one. This is nothing like a handbag. You've probably seen those 再来一个。这跟手提包完全不一样。你们可能看过那些 再来一个。这跟手提包完全不一样。你们可能看过那些 Boston Dynamics, Spot Dog robots that do TikTok dances with K-pop stars on YouTube. Well, 波士顿动力的 Spot 机器狗，在 YouTube 上和 K-pop 明星跳 TikTok 舞。 波士顿动力的 Spot 机器狗，在 YouTube 上和 K-pop 明星跳 TikTok 舞。 we managed to get one. Instead of making it dance, we strapped a paintball gun to it and 我们弄到了一只。我们没让它跳舞，而是给它绑上彩弹枪， 我们弄到了一只。我们没让它跳舞，而是给它绑上彩弹枪， we connected it remotely to a website where people could take turns driving it and firing 再把它远程连到一个网站，让大家轮流操控它， 再把它远程连到一个网站，让大家轮流操控它， it in an art gallery that we constructed. Boston Dynamics did not like that one very much. 在我们搭出来的艺术展厅里开火。波士顿动力对这个项目可不太高兴。 在我们搭出来的艺术展厅里开火。波士顿动力对这个项目可不太高兴。 So you've probably figured out by now that I'm not actually here to sell you keys to 所以你们现在大概也看出来了，我其实不是来卖车钥匙的。 所以你们现在大概也看出来了，我其实不是来卖车钥匙的。 a car. Today I'm here to talk to you about bad ideas. The kind of ideas that typically 今天我想跟大家聊聊“坏点子”。那种通常 今天我想跟大家聊聊“坏点子”。那种通常 die on the vine because reason or work colleagues get in the way. But to me, these are the most 还没长成就被理性，或者被同事，挡住去路的点子。可在我看来，它们最 还没长成就被理性，或者被同事，挡住去路的点子。可在我看来，它们最 exciting ideas because you just never know what might happen. Take these crazy looking 让人兴奋，因为你永远不知道接下来会发生什么。就拿这双怪模怪样的 让人兴奋，因为你永远不知道接下来会发生什么。就拿这双怪模怪样的 shoes, for example. I think it was like the spring of 2023. My colleagues and I were 鞋来说吧。我记得大概是 2023 年春天，我和同事们 鞋来说吧。我记得大概是 2023 年春天，我和同事们 sketching out the initial prototypes of the Big Red Boot. I remember us being equal parts 正在画“大红靴”的第一版原型。我记得我们一半 正在画“大红靴”的第一版原型。我记得我们一半 terrified because of course, like, who's going to wear these much less spend money on them, 吓得不行，因为说真的，谁会穿这种东西，更别说花钱买了； 吓得不行，因为说真的，谁会穿这种东西，更别说花钱买了； but at the same time, the moment that we put on the initial prototypes ourselves. We were 但与此同时，当我们自己穿上第一版原型的那一刻， 但与此同时，当我们自己穿上第一版原型的那一刻， filled with such a chaotic sense of glee that we were like, you know what, we just got to do it. 一种混乱又快乐的感觉涌上来，我们就说：算了，必须做。 一种混乱又快乐的感觉涌上来，我们就说：算了，必须做。 So we committed to making a couple hundred pairs. We priced them at $350 and we just prayed that 于是我们决定做几百双，定价 350 美元，然后祈祷 于是我们决定做几百双，定价 350 美元，然后祈祷 there would be a few hundred people out there in the world who would spend money on these crazy 世界上真有几百个人愿意花钱买这种疯狂玩意儿。 世界上真有几百个人愿意花钱买这种疯狂玩意儿。 looking things. So a week before the drop, we leaked this image through a friend's Instagram 所以发售前一周，我们通过一位朋友的 Instagram 账号放出了这张图。 所以发售前一周，我们通过一位朋友的 Instagram 账号放出了这张图。 account. Again, just hoping that people don't hate it or even worse that they don't ignore it. 还是那句话，只希望大家别讨厌它，更糟的是，别完全无视它。 还是那句话，只希望大家别讨厌它，更糟的是，别完全无视它。 In hindsight, we needn't have worried. The algorithm smiled quite fondly upon the Big 事后看，我们根本没必要担心。算法对“大红靴”格外青睐， 事后看，我们根本没必要担心。算法对“大红靴”格外青睐， Red Boot and all of a sudden this thing was everywhere. Like, I don't even, I can't even, 它一下子就铺天盖地。说真的，我都——我都没法—— 它一下子就铺天盖地。说真的，我都——我都没法—— it's basically like a blur. Like, I don't understand what happened. All of a sudden, 一切像一团模糊。我完全不明白发生了什么。突然之间， 一切像一团模糊。我完全不明白发生了什么。突然之间， people were wearing them court side at NBA games. I saw Lil Wayne wearing them in a music video. 有人穿着它坐在 NBA 比赛场边。我还在一个音乐视频里看到 Lil Wayne 穿着它。 有人穿着它坐在 NBA 比赛场边。我还在一个音乐视频里看到 Lil Wayne 穿着它。 I remember my dad calling me and saying, hey Gabe, there's a professional WWE wrestler wearing 我记得我爸给我打电话说：“嘿，盖布，有个 WWE 职业摔角手穿着 我记得我爸给我打电话说：“嘿，盖布，有个 WWE 职业摔角手穿着 your boots on live, pay-per-view TV, and he just curb stomped another guy. 你们的靴子上了现场直播的付费节目，还刚把另一个人一脚跺翻。” 你们的靴子上了现场直播的付费节目，还刚把另一个人一脚跺翻。” It's incredible and yet we almost, we almost didn't do it. This is almost where it ended, 这太不可思议了。而我们差一点，真的差一点就没做它。 这太不可思议了。而我们差一点，真的差一点就没做它。 just as like an internal project on the cutting room floor. People told us it was not a great 它原本差点只成了一个内部项目，被剪掉、丢在地板上。有人说这不是个明智的 它原本差点只成了一个内部项目，被剪掉、丢在地板上。有人说这不是个明智的 business decision and honestly, I get it. But what started as a bad idea ended up becoming 商业决定，说实话，我理解。但一个坏点子，最后却变成了 商业决定，说实话，我理解。但一个坏点子，最后却变成了 a very interesting idea. Here's another one. The idea was an ATM machine, totally normal, 一个非常有意思的点子。再说一个。这个点子是一台 ATM，完全普通、 一个非常有意思的点子。再说一个。这个点子是一台 ATM，完全普通、 functional, operational, extremely legal ATM machine with one catch. Attached to the ATM machine, 能用、能运行、绝对合法的 ATM，只是有个小机关。ATM 上 能用、能运行、绝对合法的 ATM，只是有个小机关。ATM 上 as you see, is a digital leaderboard that ranks people based on the amount of money in their 连着一块电子排行榜，会按照大家账户里的 连着一块电子排行榜，会按照大家账户里的 remaining account balances. I'm glad you guys think it's funny. I thought it was horrifying. 剩余余额给人排名。很高兴你们觉得好笑。我当时觉得这太吓人了。 剩余余额给人排名。很高兴你们觉得好笑。我当时觉得这太吓人了。 So it wasn't enough for us to just make this. We had to put it in the right place. Does it go 所以我们不能只是把它做出来，还得把它放在对的地方。该放 所以我们不能只是把它做出来，还得把它放在对的地方。该放 outside our studio in Brooklyn? Do we put it in Times Square? My colleagues and I conferred for a 在我们布鲁克林工作室外面吗？还是放时代广场？我和同事们商量了一会儿， 在我们布鲁克林工作室外面吗？还是放时代广场？我和同事们商量了一会儿， little bit and we realized there's only one place that this thing can ever go. It's Art Basel, Miami. 然后意识到它只能去一个地方：迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展。 然后意识到它只能去一个地方：迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展。 So we take it to Miami. Somehow we get our way into a gallery and we get into a booth. 于是我们把它带去了迈阿密。不知怎么混进了一家画廊，还弄到了一个展位。 于是我们把它带去了迈阿密。不知怎么混进了一家画廊，还弄到了一个展位。 And on day one, people were actually a little bit hesitant to engage, which I totally get it. 第一天，人们其实有点犹豫要不要参与，我完全理解。 第一天，人们其实有点犹豫要不要参与，我完全理解。 It's a little bit shady. It's a participatory, I understand. But eventually, people would 这玩意儿有点可疑，而且还得亲自参与，我懂。但最后，人们还是 这玩意儿有点可疑，而且还得亲自参与，我懂。但最后，人们还是 muster up the courage to swipe their card. They would clock in at like $100 in their bank account 鼓起勇气刷了卡。有人账户余额显示大概 100 美元， 鼓起勇气刷了卡。有人账户余额显示大概 100 美元， balance, maybe $1,200 in their bank account balance. By the end of the day, however, someone 也有人显示 1200 美元。可到当天结束时，有人 也有人显示 1200 美元。可到当天结束时，有人 ended up swiping and clocked in at $12,000 in their bank account balance. And then things started to 一刷，账户余额显示 1.2 万美元。然后事情开始 一刷，账户余额显示 1.2 万美元。然后事情开始 get a little bit weird. The next day, a famous celebrity DJ named Diplo showed up with his 变得有点怪。第二天，著名明星 DJ Diplo 带着他的 变得有点怪。第二天，著名明星 DJ Diplo 带着他的 entire entourage, pulled out his debit card, swiped it in the machine, clocked in at $3 million 整个随行团队出现了，掏出借记卡，在机器上一刷，账户里 300 万美元 整个随行团队出现了，掏出借记卡，在机器上一刷，账户里 300 万美元 in his bank account and shot to the top of the leaderboard. And honestly, like the rest 直接冲到排行榜第一。说实话，后面的事 直接冲到排行榜第一。说实话，后面的事 is kind of hazy because a crowd amassed so huge around the ATM machine for the following three 我都有点记不清了，因为接下来三天，ATM 周围聚集的人群 我都有点记不清了，因为接下来三天，ATM 周围聚集的人群 days that the art care actually assigned five extra security guards, not to protect the ATM 大到艺博会居然多派了五名保安，不是为了保护那台 ATM， 大到艺博会居然多派了五名保安，不是为了保护那台 ATM， machine, but to keep the crowd from bumping into the artworks of the neighboring galleries, 而是为了防止人群撞到旁边画廊的艺术品， 而是为了防止人群撞到旁边画廊的艺术品， which was actually very funny. But the most interesting thing that I got to observe here was 这其实特别好笑。但我在现场观察到最有意思的是 这其实特别好笑。但我在现场观察到最有意思的是 this unexpected crowd dynamic where when people with astonishingly low bank accounts would swipe 一种意想不到的人群反应：当账户余额低得惊人的人刷卡时， 一种意想不到的人群反应：当账户余额低得惊人的人刷卡时， their cards in front of this captive audience, by the way, and I'm talking really low, like $2, 顺便说，是当着一群围观者的面，而且我说的是真的低，比如 2 美元， 顺便说，是当着一群围观者的面，而且我说的是真的低，比如 2 美元， like concerningly low, they would swipe, they would get ranked at the bottom, and then they would 低到让人担心。他们一刷，排名垫底，然后他们 低到让人担心。他们一刷，排名垫底，然后他们 turn around to face the audience, and the audience would lose their minds. Like they were cheering 转身面对观众，观众就疯了。大家欢呼、 转身面对观众，观众就疯了。大家欢呼、 and screaming and celebrating and clapping and taking pictures, and it was sincere. It was 尖叫、庆祝、鼓掌、拍照，而且都是真心的。那一刻 尖叫、庆祝、鼓掌、拍照，而且都是真心的。那一刻 actually like this wholesome one of us like celebration, which was not anything that we 真的像一种很温暖的“你也是我们一员”的庆祝，这是我们 真的像一种很温暖的“你也是我们一员”的庆祝，这是我们 expected. And then to sort of like wrap up that week, the funny thing is a buyer ended up acquiring 完全没预料到的。那周快结束时，还有件好笑的事：一位买家最后买下了 完全没预料到的。那周快结束时，还有件好笑的事：一位买家最后买下了 the ATM machine as a sculpture for a whopping $75,000. But the funny thing to me is I don't think 这台 ATM，把它当雕塑收藏，价格高达 7.5 万美元。但有趣的是，我觉得 这台 ATM，把它当雕塑收藏，价格高达 7.5 万美元。但有趣的是，我觉得 that person ever realized that the artwork was not the ATM machine. The artwork was the act of 那个人可能一直没意识到，艺术品并不是这台 ATM。艺术品是 那个人可能一直没意识到，艺术品并不是这台 ATM。艺术品是 people engaging with the ATM machine. The actual artwork was the relationships that people developed 人们与 ATM 互动的行为。真正的艺术品，是人们 人们与 ATM 互动的行为。真正的艺术品，是人们 with one another via the ATM machine. See, when we made this thing originally, we were pretty sure it 通过这台 ATM 彼此建立起来的关系。你看，我们一开始做它时，其实很确定 通过这台 ATM 彼此建立起来的关系。你看，我们一开始做它时，其实很确定 was going to reflect all the worst parts of humanity at Art Basel Miami. But we were wrong. It ended 它会映照出迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展上人性最糟糕的一面。但我们错了。它最后 它会映照出迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展上人性最糟糕的一面。但我们错了。它最后 up just being a random crowd of total strangers having a great time together in one big awkward 只是让一群互不认识的陌生人，在一个巨大又尴尬的 只是让一群互不认识的陌生人，在一个巨大又尴尬的 shared moment of financial transparency. Oh, I'm not done yet. I'm not done yet. So when you open 财务透明共享时刻里，一起玩得很开心。哦，我还没讲完。我还没讲完。 财务透明共享时刻里，一起玩得很开心。哦，我还没讲完。我还没讲完。 Pandora's box of bad ideas, clearly the sky's the limit. So let's keep pushing it. I got three minutes. 当你打开“坏点子”的潘多拉魔盒，显然就没有上限了。继续加码吧，我还有三分钟。 当你打开“坏点子”的潘多拉魔盒，显然就没有上限了。继续加码吧，我还有三分钟。 This is a big fruit loop. It's not much else to say. It's real. It's about the size of a dinner 这是一个巨型 Froot Loop 果圈麦片。没太多可说的。是真的，大小差不多像个餐盘。 这是一个巨型 Froot Loop 果圈麦片。没太多可说的。是真的，大小差不多像个餐盘。 plate. It takes a lot of milk to put down, but I assure you it's just as good as the original. 要配很多牛奶才能吃完，但我保证味道跟原版一样好。 要配很多牛奶才能吃完，但我保证味道跟原版一样好。 This is what we call an Alexegate. It's an electronics device armed with seven ultrasonic 这是我们称为 Alexagate 的东西。它是个电子设备，底座上装着七个超声波 这是我们称为 Alexagate 的东西。它是个电子设备，底座上装着七个超声波 speakers at its base that blasts white noise into the mic of any Alexa device to keep it from 扬声器，会把白噪声打进任何 Alexa 设备的麦克风里，防止它 扬声器，会把白噪声打进任何 Alexa 设备的麦克风里，防止它 eavesdropping on you when you're not using it. And then this one is a life-size sculpture that 在你不用的时候偷听你。再看这个，这是一座等身雕塑， 在你不用的时候偷听你。再看这个，这是一座等身雕塑， keeps track of and counts the number of times anyone has touched it. Because if you ever go to a 会追踪并统计任何人触摸它的次数。因为如果你去过 会追踪并统计任何人触摸它的次数。因为如果你去过 gallery museum, you know, you're not supposed to touch the art. So this is supposed to discourage 美术馆或博物馆就知道，艺术品是不能摸的。所以它本来是用来阻止 美术馆或博物馆就知道，艺术品是不能摸的。所以它本来是用来阻止 people touching the art. Right. Oh, actually, I wanted to wrap up the story about the car, 人们触摸艺术品的。对吧。哦，其实我还想把那辆车的故事讲完， 人们触摸艺术品的。对吧。哦，其实我还想把那辆车的故事讲完， because it is real. It's actually, if you take a second later, it's parked outside. It's here on 因为那是真的。事实上，等会儿你们出去就能看到，它就停在外面。就在 因为那是真的。事实上，等会儿你们出去就能看到，它就停在外面。就在 the loop, so go find it. The car was real. The 5,000 keys were real. We released this to the world 环道上，去找找吧。车是真的，5000 把钥匙也是真的。我们把这个项目 环道上，去找找吧。车是真的，5000 把钥匙也是真的。我们把这个项目 in the fall of 2022. And for the following nine months, we actually got to watch this thing change 在 2022 年秋天放到了世界上。接下来的九个月里，我们亲眼看着它 在 2022 年秋天放到了世界上。接下来的九个月里，我们亲眼看着它 hands hundreds, if not thousands of times, mostly via like very peaceful communal meetups 易手了数百次，甚至数千次，大多是通过非常和平的社群聚会， 易手了数百次，甚至数千次，大多是通过非常和平的社群聚会， and the occasional Grand Theft Auto, which I can't really talk too much about here. 偶尔也有几次“侠盗猎车”，这部分我在这里不能多说。 偶尔也有几次“侠盗猎车”，这部分我在这里不能多说。 Over that nine months, it started in New York. It made its way down to Philadelphia. 那九个月里，它从纽约出发，一路到了费城。 那九个月里，它从纽约出发，一路到了费城。 It stayed in Philadelphia for a few days, Grand Theft Auto. And then eventually made its way 它在费城待了几天——“侠盗猎车”——然后终于继续 它在费城待了几天——“侠盗猎车”——然后终于继续 across the Midwest to the West Coast, where nine months later, I mean, the GPS stopped. We kind of 穿过中西部到了西海岸。九个月后，GPS 停了。我们有点 穿过中西部到了西海岸。九个月后，GPS 停了。我们有点 assumed that the project was over, which is okay. It had a glorious life. But then one day, 以为这个项目结束了，也没关系，它已经活得很精彩。但后来有一天， 以为这个项目结束了，也没关系，它已经活得很精彩。但后来有一天， I get a call and it's a call from a tow pound. And the tow pound is saying, hey, we're pretty 我接到一个电话，是拖车扣押场打来的。对方说：“嘿，我们基本 我接到一个电话，是拖车扣押场打来的。对方说：“嘿，我们基本 sure that we have your car, because it is registered under your name, but it's such a weird thing, 确定你的车在我们这儿，因为登记在你名下。但这事太奇怪了， 确定你的车在我们这儿，因为登记在你名下。但这事太奇怪了， because people keep showing up and claiming the car, and they all have keys that work. 因为不断有人跑来认领这辆车，而且每个人都有能用的钥匙。” 因为不断有人跑来认领这辆车，而且每个人都有能用的钥匙。” So we ended up taking the car back. It was no longer functional. And we decided to place it in an 于是我们最后把车取了回来。它已经不能开了，我们决定把它放进 于是我们最后把车取了回来。它已经不能开了，我们决定把它放进 art gallery in Los Angeles. And at this gallery, actually, I got to attend the opening. And at the 洛杉矶的一家艺术画廊。那次展览开幕我也去了。在 洛杉矶的一家艺术画廊。那次展览开幕我也去了。在 opening, I observed something that I totally did not expect to see, which was purchasers of the key 开幕现场，我看到了完全没想到的一幕：买过钥匙的人 开幕现场，我看到了完全没想到的一幕：买过钥匙的人 had flown in from all over the country, not just to see the thing that they had touched and, you 从全国各地飞来，不只是为了看看那个他们曾经触碰过、 从全国各地飞来，不只是为了看看那个他们曾经触碰过、 know, interacted with show up in a gallery, but they were actually there to meet each other for 互动过的东西出现在画廊里，他们其实是来 互动过的东西出现在画廊里，他们其实是来 the first time. Right. Like I watched them taking photos and sharing stories of their own individual 第一次见彼此的。真的。我看着他们拍照，分享自己 第一次见彼此的。真的。我看着他们拍照，分享自己 escapades with the car. And I took a step back and realized this project was never about the car. 和这辆车有关的各种冒险故事。我退后一步，意识到这个项目从来不是关于车。 和这辆车有关的各种冒险故事。我退后一步，意识到这个项目从来不是关于车。 It was never about the keys. It was about the people. Like it really was about the friends you 也从来不是关于钥匙。它是关于人的。说真的，它就是关于那些 也从来不是关于钥匙。它是关于人的。说真的，它就是关于那些 make along the way. And now if you see the car, you'll see it outside. I mean, it looks nothing 一路上结识的朋友。现在如果你看到那辆车，就在外面。它看起来已经完全 一路上结识的朋友。现在如果你看到那辆车，就在外面。它看起来已经完全 like it did when we started out. The faux wood paneling is gone, regrettably. But now it's covered 不像我们一开始的样子了。很遗憾，仿木纹饰板没了。现在它浑身都是 不像我们一开始的样子了。很遗憾，仿木纹饰板没了。现在它浑身都是 in paint drawings, scribbled messages from complete strangers to total other total strangers. 颜料、图画，还有陌生人写给另一些陌生人的潦草留言。 颜料、图画，还有陌生人写给另一些陌生人的潦草留言。 It's no longer a car. Now it's a rallying point for this weird little random community that sprang 它不再是一辆车。现在，它成了一个奇怪小社群的聚点， 它不再是一辆车。现在，它成了一个奇怪小社群的聚点， up out of nowhere and gave this thing a life of its own. And with that, I'd like to invite each 这个随机出现的社群不知从哪儿冒出来，赋予了它自己的生命。说到这里，我想邀请 这个随机出现的社群不知从哪儿冒出来，赋予了它自己的生命。说到这里，我想邀请 and every one of you to reach under your seat because I've placed sorry, sorry, sorry. 在座每一位把手伸到座位下面，因为我放了——抱歉，抱歉，抱歉。 在座每一位把手伸到座位下面，因为我放了——抱歉，抱歉，抱歉。 They told me not to do that. I did it anyways. This is my first and last TED talk, whatever. 他们叫我别这么干。我还是干了。反正这是我第一次也是最后一次 TED 演讲，随便吧。 他们叫我别这么干。我还是干了。反正这是我第一次也是最后一次 TED 演讲，随便吧。 Anyways, we all know that keys, they start cars just like ATM machines are supposed to dispense 总之，我们都知道，钥匙是用来发动汽车的，就像 ATM 应该吐出 总之，我们都知道，钥匙是用来发动汽车的，就像 ATM 应该吐出 cash just like big red boots are supposed to be shoes. But in the case of the bad idea, 现金，就像大红靴理应是鞋子。但对坏点子来说， 现金，就像大红靴理应是鞋子。但对坏点子来说， none of these ended up being what they appeared to be on the surface. They ended up taking a life 这些东西最后都不再是表面看起来的样子。它们最终拥有了 这些东西最后都不再是表面看起来的样子。它们最终拥有了 of their own and they all became something else entirely for better or for worse. And to me, 自己的生命，并且不管好坏，全都变成了完全不同的东西。对我来说， 自己的生命，并且不管好坏，全都变成了完全不同的东西。对我来说， that's the most exciting thing about it all. I'm not necessarily saying that bad ideas are good 这就是最令人兴奋的地方。我并不是说坏点子一定就是好 这就是最令人兴奋的地方。我并不是说坏点子一定就是好 ideas. All I'm saying is give yourself a chance to explore the thing that makes you uncomfortable 点子。我只是说，给自己一个机会，去探索那个让你不舒服的东西， 点子。我只是说，给自己一个机会，去探索那个让你不舒服的东西， because you just never know what might happen. All right, thank you. 因为你永远不知道会发生什么。好了，谢谢大家。 因为你永远不知道会发生什么。好了，谢谢大家。
