Mexico’s attitude for time beats the rat racing: Tamanna Tag

I have been listening to a lot of talks about the arrival of AI I recently created. Bill Gates has publicly stated that within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers and that humans do not need “most things.” Many famous people predicted it Centenary Not far away. In fact, Gates and other key technical chief executive, the biggest tendency to define the next decade is more than trade wars and geo -politics. Whether or not We hope that AI will progress quicklyThere is an intriguing question in front of us: If AI work enough to free us to do other things, what will we do that extra time?

I wanted to see Jerry Seanfeld; It is still never old. I was always very interested because he took the value and definition Time. He said, “The secret of life is to waste time in the ways you want.” He uses the words “waste time” and remember that “not spending time”. When most people think that our life is very low, I have heard he says that he does not agree with him and that life is really too long. Seenfeld argues that the concept of “quality time” is defective – all the time quality time. In fact, useless moments such as eating grain late at night or sounding in bed are very valuable, he says.

This news has always been conspiring to me, but contradictory, I really have no time to open it up until recently. To commemorate this concept, I first needed some empty space in my entire brain. I had to create that place in a time of time to reduce the space, giving my brain to the additional ability to reflect and process it. When I went to Mexico, the time was limited.

I needed this place to go to my childhood, adolescent and middle age-hood memories. When I was young, the time passed very slowly. I am bored and always hurried to the next thing of life. As I get older, the time seems to pass too fast, and I feel like the time is running. As a result, I am very safe to spend time. For a long time, I realized that my relationship with time was not fluid and linear. I explain.

In my Americanized adult brain, time is linear. It moves relentlessly, which creates an urgency to increase each moment before losing each moment. Time is something that needs to be captured, to be captured and used more, because it does not come back. This is an object, an precious defined resource, so the goal is to pass over time. It is learned to monetize time in Western culture: “Money.” This is a token, which should be converted into a achievement or wealth. Workers are paid for hours, lawyers charge within a minute, and the ad sells the second. The value of the time is related to the economy rather than experiences. The mood of that shortage over time is difficult in my brain.

Over the past few years, watching how Mexican spend time with each other – at work, eaten, holidays, night or with friends and family – I think they don’t value time as I taught. In Mexican culture, it seems that time is not valued for its production capacity, but rather in the environment of quality and experience. Even at work, one often sees the time to smile, laugh, walk and eat a coffee. Somehow, human experience is intertwined with timelessness.

“The concept”Now”(Ie” “right”) explains this concept around the circular nature of the time. When a Mexican says “Now“It does not mean that something really happens right away, means that” no now. “Some other time, perhaps, that is certainly never.

This concept can be found at festivals that celebrate Mexican traditions and life and death. For example, the day of the death of the Monark of Monark, with the advent of butterflies, refers to the connection between seasonal changes and ancestor’s memory. Such Mexican traditions strengthens the notion that the opinion of time is similar to the circulation of life.

Living in Mexico has questioned me for the first time: Why is it time? Do we have time to enjoy life or a token that needs to be transformed into things? When an experience is valued beyond the “money” environment, the idea of ​​”waste” (for the quotation of Seanfield) changes dramatically. I think the Mexican concept of time is intertwined with the basic questions of the meaning of the meaning. Time is not a token for exchange. On the contrary, the Mexican culture considers it as a rhythm; A rhythm is intertwined with agricultural rhythms and is attached to spirituality through birth and death cycle.

Let me leave you an example to explain what I mean. The other day was an event that recalled Jesus on the cross at San Miguel de Alende (The Lord of the column). My Mexican friend Gladia He told me that he had planned to stay all night with his family, friends and neighbors who celebrated the festival. Upon hearing that, at this age I rolled my eyes, thinking that there was no way to pull an all-knitar-the next day I would be stupid, and I would like a good night’s sleep. In fact, the last time I pulled an all-Naiter, and when I was 20 years old, I continued to looked at two sunrise and was drinking a lot of beer in between. Claudia is in her 50s, but he pulls an average of eight to 10 all-Nitters per year-Siller is with his 80-year-old mother-eating, dancing, speaking, laughing at celebrations or participating in social activities.

I have added some photos of what happened that night at San Miguel de Alende a few blocks from our home. When I looked at them, I understood what I missed by choosing to stay at home. I was married to my custom and I was very worried about getting tired the next day, and as a result, I missed the magic.

Now, I am not recommended that I do what Claudia is doing about all-knitters. But with reflection, I challenge my own definition of time, and its value in experiences and experiences.

As a professional, in a workplace, “I agree that I will not do the idea of” I will not do better. “Now. “However, since I am old, I felt a difference between doing and being, and I could certainly benefit from this concept from a very uniform view of my life.

So – in the next decade (or less), if humans do not need to do most things, what will we do? I hope that asking some basic questions around our identity and existence, rather than looking for the passage over time. We will have to understand the difference between “cost” and “waste” time. Do you know that you would like to waste time? As for my brain, this will take some re -wiring, which will discuss the second part of this article next Saturday.
