Pratica di Shadowing: The computer will turn society upside down | Krishnamurti - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
The computer can do everything that man can do.
2
It can learn.
3
It has been programmed as our brain is programmed – to be a Catholic, to be a Protestant, to be a Hindu, to be a Buddhist.
4
You understand all this?
5
Of course, your brain is programmed, whether you like it or not,
6
you have to observe it, otherwise you wouldn't call yourself a Hindu or a communist.
7
Christ, your brain has been cultivated through time,
8
and through that time which is the acquisition of experience,
9
knowledge and so on, that brain has been programmed,
10
has been conditioned to respond according to certain reactions, this is inevitable.
11
That brain is now being given over to the computer.
12
Please realise this, the computer is becoming your brain, the human brain.
13
The computer plus the robot are already operating in manufacturing things,
14
like cars, all kinds of things are happening in about ten, fifteen years, you will be unemployed.
15
You have to face all this.
16
Society is going to be turned upside down, it is coming, whether you like it or not,
17
it is at your door.
18
Now, do you understand the seriousness of all this?
19
I wonder if you do.
20
that your brain, which has been so extraordinarily capable,
21
suffered innumerable sorrows, lives in great anxiety,
22
frightened, insecure, the whole psychological world which is the result of thought.
23
That thought, with all its knowledge, is being transferred to the computer and the robot.
24
So man, then what is he – you understand my question?
25
If the computer can do everything that you can, your brain can, which is it can learn,
26
it can correct itself, it can foresee much more than human beings can,
27
its responses are instantaneous, because it is programmed that way,
28
then what is man?
29
You understand all this?
30
The computers say, I believe in God – oh,
31
you people laugh, you don't see this seriousness of all this happening to all of us.
32
The computer can compose a poem,
33
can compose, can diagnose better than any doctor.
34
You understand?
35
And then we ask, one asks, what is man, what are you?
36
If the machine can do everything even better than you, what are you?
37
Which is, our brains have operated mechanically,
38
it believes, it doesn't believe, it creates its own gods,
39
its own philosophies, the computer can create a philosophy, better than any philosopher.
40
So what have we left?
41
You understand my question?
42
If the machine can take over everything that man can do, and do it still better than us,
43
Then what is a human being, what are you?
44
Your belief in God, the machine has a belief in God, it will do rituals better than you can do,
45
it can invent theories better than any philosopher.
46
Do you understand all this?
47
So what have we left?
48
What we have left is our psychological world.
49
You understand?
50
Our sorrow, our fears, our pleasures,
51
our anxieties, our immense loneliness.
52
You understand all this?
53
That is what we are going to be left with.
54
Not with your gods.
55
The gods have been invented by man, by thought.
56
You have shaped gods according to your desires, your fears.
57
So computers can do all that.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
