What is the value of slowness, or for that matter, speed? How do we best understand slowness in the context of cultural and social norms, technology, and our own inner-lives? Trying to answer these questions can send you down vast and labyrinthine wormholes. We tied-on our tiny spelunking gear and jumped in.
Some stuff we talked about:
- Slow Food Manifesto
- Manifesto for Accelerationist Politics
- Italian Futurism Manifesto
- Darley, J. M., and Batson, C.D., "From Jerusalem to Jericho": A study of Situational and Dispositional Variables in Helping Behavior". JPSP, 1973, 27, 100-108. What Steve referred to as the High-Hurry study. Summary of results: Overall 40% offered some help to the victim. In low hurry situations, 63% helped, medium hurry 45% and high hurry 10%.
- Carl Honoré, In Praise of Slowness, and his TED talk.
- Fast Yoga
