We can't empathize.
We struggle to feel them because we're just racing through the world instead of actually connecting with other human beings in it.
And then if you look at the workplace, there's libraries full of studies showing that too much speed, too much hurry, too much distraction is the enemy
productivity and creativity people start making more mistakes they can't join the dots their imagination falls off a cliff so there are all kinds of reasons to slow down that we can feel intuitively but the science is they're telling us the same message which is that actually in a world addicted to speed slowness is a superpower isn't some of this though a bit individual personality driven that some people just seem to do better at a faster rpm than others
Oh, absolutely.
I think each of us has our own personal internal metronome, and some people have it set a little higher than others.
I'm a naturally fast person myself, so I love speed.
I'm quite comfortable at a speedy rhythm.
But what you discover, especially if you're a fast type A kind of person, is that you can fall into that trap
of having only one speed, having only one mode, and that mode is turbo, and no one fits into that category, right?
No matter how much of a Taipei person you are, you still need to sleep.
You still need to rest.
You still need time to pause, reflect,
contemplate, mull things out.
It doesn't make sense to be turning every moment of the day into a multitasking mania.
So yes, some people will find it harder to slow down than others, but we all need slow.
Exactly.
I mean, I'm not an extremist of slowness.
I love speed.
Faster is often better.
