Andrew Huberman: 本期讨论的核心问题是如何为地球和未来世代做好准备,这需要我们学会将当前的决策与对过去和未来的理解联系起来,克服现代社会和科技带来的短期奖励机制的影响。我们的大脑能够思考过去、现在和未来,但现代社会和科技,特别是手机通知,缩短了我们的时间视野,让我们更关注当下而非长远未来。我们需要每天抽出时间,摆脱刺激-反应模式,思考我们更大的愿望,以及如何将当前的思维和行为与未来和过去联系起来。 Ari Wallach: 人类擅长精神时间旅行,能够将自己投射到未来,设想不同的可能性,并合作实现目标。现代社会和科技缩短了我们的时间视野,让我们更关注当下而非长远未来。我们需要培养跨代同理心,从自我同理心开始,进而扩展到对过去和未来世代的同理心。自我同理心意味着接纳不完美,并认识到你在当时所做的都是尽力而为。对他人和未来世代的同理心,应该超越认知层面,而应该在情感层面上产生共鸣,从而指导行动。积极的情感(如同理心、同情心和爱)能够帮助我们更好地为未来世代创造积极的影响。我们应该像种植不会结果的树木一样,为未来做出贡献,即使我们无法亲眼见证成果。这需要我们培养“大教堂式思维”,从事那些我们无法亲眼见证成果的工作,为未来做出贡献。我们对未来的影响力,更多地体现在我们对孩子的行为示范上,而不是我们个人的成就上。我们需要超越“生命周期偏差”,将自身融入更长的时间线,思考我们对未来世代的责任。未来思维(Futures Thinking)关注的是我们如何创造未来,而不是预测未来。我们需要重新思考我们作为物种的终极目标(Telos)。写信给未来的自己,能够帮助我们更好地思考未来的目标和愿望,并制定实现目标的计划。我们需要创造“原型”(Protopia)的故事,描绘一个并非完美但不断进步的未来,以激励人们为更好的未来而努力。传统机构(如宗教、教育和家庭)的瓦解,导致了短期行为的增加。我们需要审视自己行为背后的原因,并重新书写那些不再服务于我们的故事,从而创造一个更积极的未来。

Deep Dive

Chapters
In this chapter, the discussion revolves around understanding time perception and the importance of projecting our current decisions into the future to create a better world. Ari Wallach and Andrew Huberman explore how technology affects our ability to think long-term and how societal changes have influenced our perception of purpose.
  • The human brain is capable of mental time travel, allowing us to think about past, present, and future scenarios.
  • Modern technology and societal structures often lock us into a present-focused mindset, reducing our ability to plan long-term.
  • Transgenerational empathy and understanding of our place in the timeline are crucial for fostering long-term thinking.

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, my guest is Ari Wallach), adjunct associate professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and host of a new TV series titled A Brief History of the Future). We discuss the importance of learning to project our understanding of ourselves and our goals into the future, both for our own sake and for future generations. We also explore how this fosters a sense of unity and community within our species.

We examine how technology and modern society influence our perception of time and our ability to make decisions in a fast-paced, reward-driven environment that leads to our best possible future. Additionally, we discuss how the dismantling of traditional institutions has altered people's sense of purpose. We outline protocols to cultivate long-term thinking, connect with core values, and define a deep sense of purpose. This episode provides listeners with actionable tools to merge short- and long-term thinking in ways that create a positive, lasting impact on ourselves, society, and the planet.
