Philip ZimÂbarÂdo, a longÂtime StanÂford psyÂcholÂoÂgy proÂfesÂsor, is perÂhaps most well known for the famous StanÂford Prison ExperÂiÂment conÂductÂed in 1971. But, more recentÂly, he pubÂlished a book called The Time ParaÂdox (2008) that makes some pretÂty intriguÂing arguÂments about how our attiÂtudes toward time, often unconÂscious ones, can strongÂly shape our perÂsonÂalÂiÂties and the kind of lives we lead. The video above takes one of ZimÂbarÂdo’s lecÂtures about the Time ParaÂdox and syncs it with some aniÂmatÂed drawÂings. Great find by Yann. Feel free to send tips our way. Just click here.

IntriguÂing. I cerÂtainÂly hope that we aren’t going to try to conÂvert peoÂple to future-oriÂentÂedÂness. Those peoÂple have their place, for sure, but I hate to think of an exisÂtence where everyÂone is like that.
I’m not sure what the impliÂcaÂtions of the 6 time zones are for eduÂcaÂtion. ChilÂdren are by and large present hedoÂnisÂtic, and we can catch glimpses of the time zone that they will embrace in their matuÂriÂty.
I’m not sure how we got from 6 time zones to a need for a tech-based eduÂcaÂtionÂal curÂricuÂlum. I agree. I just missed the conÂnecÂtion.
Thanks. This is interÂestÂing. I think my boyfriend is present-oriÂentÂed whereÂas I’m maybe more future-oriÂentÂed, and this explains some of our disÂagreeÂments.
I often think he’s being impaÂtient, but then at the same time when he wants to get someÂthing done, he doesÂn’t stop until it’s done. He’ll go withÂout sleep and food, whereÂas I like to just plans for how I’ll do stuff gradÂuÂalÂly, and everyÂthing stops for dinÂner so far as I’m conÂcerned.
He is a few years younger than me and has played a lot more video games.
video itself highÂlights mulÂtiÂple intelÂliÂgences. hearÂing the speakÂer and seeÂing the ideas come to life, realÂly well made comÂpoÂsiÂtion.
i find the geogÂraÂphy of time a fasÂciÂnatÂing conÂcept, dependÂing on where you live, you live at a cerÂtain pace -> this conÂcept and its relaÂtionÂship between workÂer satÂisÂfacÂtion is interÂestÂing as well.
time is amazÂing:

So doesÂn’t it folÂlow that peoÂple in the Artic cirÂcle would be present oriÂenÂtatÂed thinkers and not future, simÂiÂlar to the equaÂtor, cliÂmate being the same.… Best part of the lecture/video, the digÂiÂtizÂing of the younger mind. Worst part, sumÂming up peoÂple based on their geogÂraÂphy, what’s next the colÂor of their skin?
i thought i was going to learn someÂthing
This was an aweÂsome video! I loved every secÂond.
It’s the real use of the net. Great!
