To understand which commodity producers stand to win and lose from a green transition, we construct a simple scenario for the use of ten “energy-linked” commodities in 2040, assuming that global warming by 2100 stays below 2°C.

为了摸清大宗商品生产商在绿色能源转型中是否能获益,我们为2040年10种“与能源有关的”商品的使用构建了一个简单的场景,假设到2100年全球变暖可以控制在2℃以内。

The marketing tactics have been labelled “predatory” by watchdog groups, who argue they “oversimplify” health conditions and encourage misdiagnosis. Recent complaints have prompted both TikTok and Instagram owner Meta to remove some ads from SoftBank-backed Cerebral — which launched in January 2020 and was recently valued at $4.8bn — on the basis that they constituted harmful medical misinformation.

市场监管组织认为这属于“掠夺性的”营销策略,认为它们“过度简化”了健康状况,并诱发了误诊。最近的投诉促使TikTok,以及Instagram的母公司Meta撤下了软银投资的Cerebral网站上的一些广告,理由是这些广告包括了有害的医疗谣言。这个网站于2020年1月发布,最近估值达到了48亿美元。

Cerebral told the Financial Times it would start reviewing its ads more closely in future and that it had “removed all ads of concern” at the time. “We are listening to the feedback received from the media and the market,” it said.

Cerebral向《金融时报》表示,未来将开始更仔细地检查网站上刊登的广告,并表示当时已“删除了所有让人担忧的广告”。“我们正在听取媒体和市场的反馈,”该公司表示。

Advertising aside, the phenomenontaps intoa pandemic-fuelled explosion of mental health content. Peppy influencers sharing their checklists of symptoms have increasingly filled my feeds over the past two years,centring onconditions such as OCD, dissociative identity disorder andautism. Sizeable subcultures of sufferers have bubbled up: on TikTok, the hashtag ADHD has 10.6bn views, anxiety has 13.1bn, neurodivergent has nearly 3bn.

除了广告,这一现象表现了疫情引发的与心理健康有关内容激增有关。翻译划线句,长按文末小程序码打卡,答案下期公布~一时间涌现出大量患有多动症的亚文化群体:在TikTok上,“多动症”话题的浏览量为106亿次,“焦虑症”的浏览量为131亿次,“神经发散症”的浏览量近30亿次。

These communities have forced more open discussions around mental health, helped todestigmatiseconditions and increased awareness of diagnoses, particularly among those who may have little access to healthcare. But in thefreewheelingsocial media space, there are also huge challenges. Research published recently in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, analysing the top 100 most popular videos on TikTok about ADHD, found that 52 per cent of the videos were “misleading”.

这些社群迫使人们围绕心理健康开展更开放的讨论,有利于症状的去污名化,增进人们对疾病的了解,尤其是那些可能很难获取医疗资源的人。但在随心所欲的社交媒体空间上,也面临着巨大的挑战。最近发表在《加拿大精神病学杂志》上的一项研究对TikTok上最热门的100个与多动症相关的视频进行了分析,发现其中有52%的视频是“有误导性的”。

In some

cases, the videos mistakenly suggested that symptoms such as anxiety, anger and mood swings were specific only to ADHD. Others provided incorrect information on the causes of ADHD or how to test for it. At its most harmless, self-diagnosis may spring from a teenage urge to rebel from the norm, or find common ground with a new peer group.But more concerning are the implications for those who wrongly identify as having a particular condition.

在某些情况下,短视频会误把焦虑、愤怒、情绪波动等症状认为是多动症所特有的症状。另外有些视频提供的关于多动症病因或如何测试多动症的是误导性信息。最无害的情况是,进行自我诊断可能来自于青少年想要打破平凡的冲动,或想要在一个新的同龄人群体中找到共同点的冲动。但更令人担忧的是那些误认为自己患有某些疾病的人,会对自己造成什么影响。
