David Brooks gave a talk last week in Aspen that inspired me and that I can't stop thinking about. Note that it comes in three parts. His book is due to come out in the fall of 2009.
Brooks discusses an intellectual revolution that brings together neuroscience, sociology, psychology, behavioral economics, genetics, and a variety of other fields in an effort to shine a light on non-cognitive skills --- that which cannot be counted by IQ scores, but is important to success. He addresses the importance of the action that takes place in the human mind below the level of the awareness, in the unconscious; how emotion is the central core for giving value to thinking - it’s the central organizing process of the brain; and the permeability of the human mind. Brooks speculates: How do you talk about the unconscious or love at a Congressional Hearing? We tend to focus on what we can easily measure. Yet, what really matters is extremely emotional, unconscious, and relationship-based and, for that, we need a new vocabulary. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on Brooks’ talk. If you have the time, there are a number of talks worth viewing on the fora.tv site from the Aspen Festival of Ideas. |

David Brooks在上周Aspen的讲话给我很多启迪，让我不禁开始思考。分三部分。他的新书将在2009年秋天出版。 Brooks讨论了一次智力革命，将神经科学、社会学、心理学、行为经济学、遗传学以及各种其他领域结合起来，从而提出非感知技巧——这种能力不包括在智商体系内，但对于成功与否非常重要。 他解释了这种发生在人类头脑中感知层次之下的行为的重要性，是潜意识的；情绪如何成为赋予思考价值的中心——它是头脑的中心组织过程；以及人类头脑的渗透性。 Brooks还推测：你如何看待国会听证会上的潜意识和好恶？我们总是会把重点放在容易量化的事情上。是的，真正至关重要的是那些极度情绪化的、潜意识、基于关系的某种东西——我们需要一个新词来表述它。 我很想听一听您对Brooks讲话的看法。有时间您可以去fora.tv看看Aspen思想节上的讲话，很多值得一看。 |
