Information in and of itself is simply not enough. It's not enough and what we need in addition to our information highway is a transformation highway. Transformation high way,
信息本身還不夠 還不夠 而我們除了信息高速公路外還需要轉(zhuǎn)變高速公路 是在轉(zhuǎn)變高速公路
Or transformation back roads, to come through the fast increasing pace. Because as we'll talk about next time,
還是轉(zhuǎn)變鄉(xiāng)村小道上 來經(jīng)歷快速增長的步伐 因為就像我們下次課會說到的那樣
Rates of depression are on the rise, rates of anxiety are on the rise, not just in this country, globally.
抑郁率呈上升趨勢 焦慮率呈上升趨勢 不只是在這個國家 是全球化的現(xiàn)象
It's literally global epidemic. And to deal with it, more information will just not do.
簡直就是全球傳染病 而為了應對它 更多的信息也并不夠
Just not enough. Here is Archibald macleish. He was a poet, was a Harvard professor,
并不夠 下面是Archibald MacLeish的話 他生前是一位詩人 是哈佛的教授
"What is wrong is not the great discoveries of science-- information is always better than ignorance, no matter what information or what ignorance.
"錯的不是科學的重大發(fā)現(xiàn) 有信息永遠比無知強 不管是什么樣信息和什么樣無知
What is wrong is the belief behind the information, the belief that information will change the world. It won't."
錯在于信息背后的信念 認為信息會改變世界的信念 但它不會"
Just adding it and filling up our containers with more and more stuff. More and more information, more and more data. It's just not enough.
往我們的容器里增加 裝上越來越多的東西 越來越多的信息 越來越多的數(shù)據(jù) 還是不夠
We need more than that. This class will take a humanistic approach. Let me read you a quick excerpt by Abraham Maslow who talks about this approach,
我們需要更多 本課程將采用一種人性的方法 我來給你們讀一小段Abraham Maslow的話
"If one took a course or picked up a book on the psychology of learning, most of it, in my opinion, would be beside the point -
"如果有人上了一門關(guān)于心理學學習的課 或者看了一本這方面的書 大部分內(nèi)容 在我看來 是與重點無關(guān)的
That is, beside the 'humanistic' point. Most of it would present learning as the acquisition of associations, of skills and capacities that are external and not intrinsic to the human character,
也就是 與人性無關(guān) 大部分內(nèi)容把學習展現(xiàn)為獲得聯(lián)想 技能和能力 這些對于人的性格 人的個性
To the human personality, to the person himself." External refers to information. Internal refers to the transformation,
人本身來說只是外在而并非本質(zhì)的" 外在是指信息 內(nèi)在是指轉(zhuǎn)變
The changing of the form. And when we talk about transformation, actually mean it quite literally--
形態(tài)的改變 當我們談到轉(zhuǎn)變時 實際上是非常字面的說法
Changing of the form, changing of the brain as we'll talk about. We'll talk about meditation for instance.
形態(tài)的改變 大腦的改變 我們一會就談到 比如我們會談到冥想
We know our brain today can actually change through MRI studies since 1998. A new concept came up which is Neurogenesis or Neuroplasticity, meaning our brain actually changes and transforms.
1998年通過的核磁共振研究我們知道大腦可以被改變 一個新的概念叫做神經(jīng)形成或者神經(jīng)可塑性 是指我們的大腦實際上會改變和轉(zhuǎn)變
