The speedy advance of technology, from AI to robotics, is amplifying an existing tendency: the Great Introspection.

从人工智能到机器人技术，科技的飞速发展正加剧着一个既存趋势：大内省。

Humans are antisocially avoiding human interaction wherever possible. In San Francisco, people will now wait longer and pay 50% more to get a driverless cab. Japan has a special name for those who stay pathologically alone in their flats: hikikomori. Most Britons say their social circle has got smaller. Nearly half of all Britons now socialise with family and friends just once a month.

人类正在以反社交的方式，尽可能回避人际互动。在旧金山，人们如今宁愿多等候50%的时间、多支付50%的费用来选择无人驾驶出租车。日本为那些病态般独居公寓者创造了特定称谓：蛰居族（hikikomori）。大多数英国人表示自己的社交圈正在缩小。近半数英国人现今每月仅与家人朋友社交一次。

Perhaps there is a deep streak of misanthropy in human nature, and the idea that we are social animals is a polite fiction. As Sartre put it as far back as 1944, ‘l’enfer, c’est les autres’.”

或许人性中本就深藏着厌世情结，而'人类是社会性动物'的说法不过是个礼貌的虚构。正如萨特早在1944年所言：'他人即地狱'。"
