itself is made up of distraction may seem like an exaggeration, but if we think about how we live our lives experiencing 'moments of losing focus' that come several times a day, the definition of 'a life filled with distraction' may not be so wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the 23rd issue of \"New Philosopher,\" we find philosophical and realistic suggestions for modern people

sit quietly in a room.”\u003cbr\u003e It makes sense to add the condition 'without consuming information' to this sentence from the French philosopher.\u003cbr\u003e Pascal was acutely aware of the human tendency to think and to be extremely reluctant to be left alone. \u003cbr\u003eSo he also said this.\u003cbr\u003e “Humans, unable to solve death, misery, and ignorance, decided not to think about such things in order to become happy.”\u003cbr\u003e ---p.10 From \"News from Nowhere\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Social media releases dopamine, also known as the \"happy drug,\" into our brains, but its effects don't last long.\u003cbr\u003e That's why you don't feel satisfied even if you keep posting photos, getting likes, and gaining new followers.\u003cbr\u003e We are constantly searching for the next stimulus.\u003cbr\u003e Some studies have even shown that the brains of social media addicts resemble those of drug and gambling addicts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---p.28 From “The Courage to Delete Social Media _ Clarissa Seebeck Montefiore”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First, you need to know what's going on. \u003cbr\u003eWe need to understand what research says about why we often feel so distracted and whether all this technology is designed to exacerbate our problems.\u003cbr\u003e … …Finally, you need to maximize the time you focus your attention.\u003cbr\u003e Think about when you really focused during the day, and at the end of that day when you were so focused, you felt like, “Wow, I really got a lot done today.\u003cbr\u003e I want you to remember feelings like “I feel good.”\u003cbr\u003e The more this happens, the more distraction will lose its power and recede.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---p.45 \"Focusing in a World Where Immersion is Difficult _ James M.\u003cbr\u003e Among \"Lang\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e People with good concentration are said to experience relatively less fear, irritation, and sadness in their daily lives, and this result may be partly due to their ability to divert attention from the negative aspects of life. \u003cbr\u003eOn the other hand, people with attention deficits have difficulty feeling \"flow,\" the sense of fulfillment that comes from pouring all your energy into solving a problem.\u003cbr\u003e Without the conductor of attention, the symphony orchestra played by the brain would degenerate into dissonance.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.58 From \"In a World of Over-Connection _ Maggie Jackson\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since distractions are essential for maintaining long-term concentration, we need to be more proactive about accepting them.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes you need to let your brain's attentional networks loose.\u003cbr\u003e However, most people still do things that require attention even while they are resting.\u003cbr\u003e This could be going on social media or taking a walk outside while listening to a podcast.\u003cbr\u003e I feel that I absolutely must have time to let my thoughts wander during the day.\u003cbr\u003e This is because distraction allows the attentional network to re-energize, further enhancing focus.\u003cbr\u003e

half hour flight, in a society where first class is at the front of the plane and economy class is at the back, the desire to continue heading forward is unlikely to subside easily.\u003cbr\u003e Because everyone wants to be more comfortable, in better condition, and go further.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How much of a carbon footprint will I leave on this flight, choosing business class over

Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A few years ago, there was a psychology experiment.\u003cbr\u003e It was an experiment where subjects were placed in a room with an electric shock device and left alone.\u003cbr\u003e What's surprising is that most of the subjects shocked themselves after about 12 minutes of being left alone.\u003cbr\u003e This experiment shows that humans would rather try external stimulation than stay in one place alone and lose themselves in thought.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, it has been confirmed that the human brain is a being that cannot help but move towards distraction and stimulation rather than concentration and stagnation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This issue of New Philosopher focuses on the keyword ‘distraction.’\u003cbr\u003e If you look at the dictionary definition of 'distraction', it means 'something that interferes with concentration', but it also means 'something that cools the head'. \u003cbr\u003eIt may seem ironic that a single word carries both negative and positive connotations, but after reading the various thoughts on distraction contained in \"The New Philosopher,\" you will realize that the emotion of distraction actually possesses both beneficial and detrimental aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is difficult to deny that the popularization of smart devices has led to a universal change in human nature: distraction.\u003cbr\u003e Not only is there the constant buzz of notifications and the temptation of social media to constantly check other people's daily lives and thoughts, but the viewing time for a single video is also steadily decreasing, to the point where videos longer than 5 minutes are no longer popular.\u003cbr\u003e Smart device developers will continue to come up with ideas to keep consumers holding onto their smart devices as often and for as long as possible. \u003cbr\u003eThis has already been proven by the way short-form videos, which are under a minute long, are becoming huge winners in terms of views, and the way they make viewers scroll endlessly on one screen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The authors of \"New Philosopher\" urge that if we have already entered an age of \"distraction,\" that is, an age in which we have access to a vast amount of information but have become short on ultimate immersion and concentration, then we should not lose the minimal amount of time we have left to focus in our lives.\u003cbr\u003e The era of smart devices is inevitable, but we have no choice but to make an effort to unplug and find some time for ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “What can I do to increase mindfulness and reduce distraction in my life?” My answer is… …to maximize opportunities for flow and enjoy as many focused moments in life as possible. \u003cbr\u003eSo don't worry too much about occasionally looking at your phone, standing in line, or sprawling on the couch at the end of the day.\u003cbr\u003e However, you must definitely have time during the day to focus your attention.\u003cbr\u003e (Page 38)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIf distractions cannot be avoided, minimal immersion is essential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the degree of distraction and concentration will certainly vary from person to person, each person at some point in their life, or at some time of the day, will undoubtedly have to contend with the enemy of distraction.\u003cbr\u003e Whether you're a student preparing for an exam, an audience listening to a boring lecture, or an office worker facing a deadline due tomorrow, you can't avoid the onslaught of distractions that mercilessly disrupt your ability to focus at the very moment you need to. \u003cbr\u003eAmerican philosopher George Santayana defined distraction as “an alien force that hinders the human will to exercise freedom of its own free will.”\u003cbr\u003e Distraction was seen as an external attack, not a personality trait.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, the characteristic of distraction sometimes changes its clothes to 'distraction' or 'attention diversion' and serves a beneficial purpose for humans.\u003cbr\u003e Just as an accident can occur when you focus on one thing without looking around, the human power of 'distraction' allows you to avoid danger by constantly looking around and sensing your surroundings.\u003cbr\u003e Just as work requires rest, the power of distraction, which allows us to shift our attention to other thoughts and actions, is also essential when we focus on one problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHowever, it is important to utilize the feeling of distraction to one's own advantage, and even if we fully embrace the characteristics of modern life that make it inevitable to tolerate a certain amount of distraction, time for concentration and immersion is still absolutely and essential for humans.\u003cbr\u003e The authors of \"The New Philosopher\" urge us to dedicate at least a small amount of time each day to focus, remembering that it is the act of focus that ultimately advances both us as individuals and the world.\u003cbr\u003e Although Europe has a relatively liberal educational climate, the Netherlands is currently embroiled in a heated debate over how to regulate smartphones and social media. \u003cbr\u003eIt's certainly not easy, but the battle against distraction will be a constant throughout our lives, knowing that we must not give too much of our lives to the quiet, yet all-too-frequent, forces of distraction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Humanity has always been surrounded by too much information… … The brain has to select information, and this selection is called ‘attention.’\u003cbr\u003e What has changed from the past is that the competition for people's attention has become incredibly fierce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Attention is allocated to only one location at a time.\u003cbr\u003e This means that in order to convey a message to someone, you must first attract their attention.\u003cbr\u003e Unlike before, countless people and businesses have realized this, and the ease of access to devices people always have close at hand, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, makes it much more effective at capturing their attention.\u003cbr\u003e (Page 90)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe world of prose serialized by domestic writers\u003cbr\u003e -

Unlike the writings of foreign authors who fill pages with a single topic, the prose of domestic authors aims to deliver honest essays in a serial format in their own unique field, where they can most

addition to the subject and philosophy of the issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heo Yeon, a poet who won the Contemporary Literature Award and currently works as a reporter for Maeil Business Newspaper, meets readers through the series “Novels Read by Poets” with an attitude of insight and factual delivery that encompasses both poetry and non-fiction. \u003cbr\u003eIn this issue, we bring the renowned work [The Stranger] by Albert Camus to readers through the author's unique interpretation and reading of the world, rather than through anyone else's critique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contemporary artist Park Bona, who combines video and performance to create works that embody human narratives, will present a meaningful time of 'thinking through pictures' with the basic context of 'how art views and expresses the world.'\u003cbr\u003e In Park Bona's writing, we can see the process by which an artist's sincerity is calmly implemented in his or her personal daily life and in his or her work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lim Irang, who plays bass guitar and creates music in the band 'Dear Cloud', is also an
