レッスンを作成中...
1
The biggest misconception about information is that information is truth.
2
And information isn't truth.
3
Most information is not truth.
4
The truth is a very rare and costly and expensive type of information.
5
If you want truth, you need to invest a lot in getting it.
6
I'll give an example, a historical example.
7
Let's think about images and portraits.
8
What is the most common portrait in the world?
9
What is the most famous face in the world?
10
It is Jesus.
11
Over the last 2,000 years, people have created billions and billions of portraits of Jesus,
12
and they are hung in countless churches and cathedrals and private homes and so forth,
13
and not a single one of them is an authentic depiction of Jesus.
14
They are all, 100% of them, are fictional depictions, because we have no idea how Jesus looked like.
15
There is not a single portrait made during his lifetime.
16
There is not a single sentence in the Bible that tells us whether he was fat or thin, tall or short, black hair, blonde hair, nothing.
17
So all these images, they're fiction.
18
And it's very easy to create fictional information.
19
You don't need to research anything.
20
You don't need evidence.
21
You just come up with something and draw it.
22
If you want to paint a truthful picture of anything, of a person, of an economy,
23
of a war, you need to invest a lot of time
24
and effort and money to research to make sure that you get it right.
25
If we just flood the world with information and expect the truth to float up, it will not, it will sink.
26
The more we flood the world with information,
27
unless we make the effort to construct institutions that invest in truth,
28
we will be flooded by fiction and illusion and delusion and junk information.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
