Justin和Howie分享了他们个人经历的认知能力下降,并探讨了导致这种现象的潜在原因,例如年龄增长、生活变化、压力、社交媒体的过度使用以及被动地接收信息。他们认为,持续被动地接收信息会导致大脑处于昏迷状态,削弱大脑的思维能力。他们还讨论了人们不愿意承认自己认知能力下降的原因,这与人们对自身安全感的缺乏以及对他人评价的担忧有关。他们分享了一些改善认知能力的方法,例如大声表达想法、写下想法、进行批判性思考、减少对他人评价的担忧以及使用脑波调谐器来提高专注力。他们还探讨了现代社会流行的一些概念,例如正念、习惯养成和现代育儿方法,并质疑这些概念的有效性。他们认为,这些概念可能是时代的泡沫,但同时也承认这些方法可能对个人有所帮助。最后,他们鼓励人们意识到自己日常生活中可能存在的僵化模式,并尝试改变,以改善自己的情绪状态。 Howie分享了他个人在认知能力下降方面的经验,包括脑雾、记忆力减退以及言语能力下降。他认为,这些问题与持续被动地接收信息、缺乏批判性思考以及生活节奏的单调重复有关。他尝试了一些方法来改善这种情况,例如在通勤时不戴耳机,不听播客,而是观察周围的环境并进行思考;大声思考来巩固自己的想法,并形成更强的个人观点;以及使用脑波调谐器来提高专注力。他还讨论了人们不愿意承认自己认知能力下降的原因,这与人们对自身安全感的缺乏以及对他人评价的担忧有关。他鼓励人们不要将暂时的弱点与自身认同联系起来,并积极采取行动来改善自身状况。

Shownotes Transcript

Today we talk about brain fog and cognitive decline.  We share our personal experience with feeling dumber and discuss what might be the reasons behind it, and what we can do about it.  We talk about why it's so hard to speak up about intellectual weaknesses or to even admit experiencing temporary ones.  We talk about daily routines and addiction to screens and phones.  We discuss if global society has gotten dumber as a whole in the last few years, if ignorance is bliss, and what we should be doing to regain our cognitive fitness.​
