左京研討會第九篇
效率與放鬆
現代社會的人們
比以往更加重視效率
最近我讀了一本關於聽力學習的書
作者強調並建議讀者們
可以用兩倍速或三倍速聽節目
因為我們的耳朵
有能力捕捉高速的聲音訊息
然而這是不是也有可能
會對大腦帶來一些負面影響呢?
很多人現在看影片
都用二倍速在看
這可能會導致過度刺激交感神經
而出現一些症狀例如
變得沒有耐心或是容易失眠
當人們專注在工作或類似的事情時
總是容易忽略身體傳出的警訊
這也許對完成一些短期目標是有幫助的
但長期來看
這樣的生活型態
很可能導致身心失衡
人都有從眾的本能
這種本能有時可以幫助我們
逃離獅子的捕捉
不過有時也會導致盲目的跟從行為
如果你已經有了明確的目標
知道自己想去哪裡
那麼為夢想而燃燒是沒有問題的
不過如果你只是看著別人跑
自己也跟著跑
那麼也許停下來想一下
自己真正想要的生活
或許更加重要

Efficiency and Relaxation
In today’s society, people strive to be more efficient than in the past.
Recently, I read a book about studying through listening. The author emphasized efficiency and recommended that audiences listen at double or triple speed because our ears can catch information at high speeds. However, doesn’t this have some negative effects on our brains?
Many people now watch videos or movies at double speed, which can over-activate the sympathetic nervous system, potentially leading to issues like reduced patience or insomnia.
When people focus primarily on work or similar tasks, they tend to ignore signals from their bodies. This might help achieve short-term goals, but it is probably not beneficial for long-term well-being.
People have an instinct to follow others, driven by peer pressure that sometimes helped us escape from lions. However, this same instinct can lead to blind conformity.
If you have a clear goal and know where you want to go, then pushing yourself for your dreams is fine. However, if you are simply running as others do, it might be more important to spend time considering what you truly want.
