My mom's a psychologist, and I think that has influenced me on a personal level. Plus, I'm just generally interested in visualization and humanity, social activity and technology, and what happens in aggregate.
I was really intrigued by the idea of using live streams of data that's relevant to real people, and that would allow us to reflect and learn about ourselves.
我对使用与真实人群相关的实时数据流的想法非常感兴趣，这将使我们能够反思和了解自己。

I've found that when everyone rallies behind a cause, and when they learn their effort can contribute something bigger, they get engaged.
It's so hard for me to wrap my head around the concept of truth, I don't even know what people mean by it.
我很难把头脑绕在真理的概念上，我甚至不知道人们的意思。

As we get more transparent with data sets about infrastructure and systems management, I have a feeling we'll see big changes in how we think about complexity and our relationship to our actions.
The possibilities for creation and insight are endless. We're constantly collecting more data, and it's starting to be very relevant to our lives.
创造和洞察的可能性是无穷的。我们不断地收集更多的数据，它开始与我们的生活息息相关。

The trouble with progress is that it tends to happen slowly and quietly. It's not necessarily going to shout about itself, or make the nightly news like a disaster or a scandal would.
进步的问题在于它往往缓慢而安静地发生。它不一定会大声疾呼，也不一定会把晚间新闻当成灾难或丑闻。
