Time perspectives
A good 10-minute coffee break video on the perspectives people have on time, the impact it has on our education system and youth, and family structure.
I believe it’s good to be future oriented, but it is also good to know when to shift to a present orientation and enjoy life for a few hours/days/weeks before getting back to the grind of future orientation.
I also generally agree with the view that the “digital re-writing of minds” is happening, but it won’t characterize itself in society the way that most people think it will.
I always thought what would happen if everybody was given an “encyclopedia chip” in their brains that contained a continuously up-to-date version of Wikipedia, and anybody with this chip can also “update” it by just thinking mentally. I still think society will be committing gross errors based on things they think are “facts” but are really not. One example would be the mistaken impression that a pedophile lurks around every elementary school playground, but when enough people think (or mention) something, it slowly evolves to become “fact” even when it is not.
