Anti-robotization

Hearing vs Listening

Vegetating vs Living

in 'vegetating'

WHAT

• What is it for?
• What does it do?
• What is its colour, shape, weight?

in 'living'

WHY

WHY

• Why is she there?
• Why does she do it?
• Why does she live?
• Why does she die?

Listening means focusing on WHY

What vs Why

If we choose to be 'what'

and we'll lose, as robots never get tired

and we'll lose

If we'll hear without listening

and like machines we'll lose our uniqueness.

We're born as excellent listeners

then, little by little

Why?

We tend to accumulate data

and without even realizing it

and we become ''if,then'' animals

''If,then'' animals

• If you're black, I'm scared
• If you're white, I'm comfortable
• If you say A, I think B
• If you're aggressive, I'm too
• If you're shy, I think you're weak

We'll become ''If,then'' animals with short future

Hungry for data

Data are sterile, data are food for robots

THE REAL INFORMATION !

we accumulate data

we accumulate data

PEOPLE

Is there no chance, then?

We can stop the robotisation process

1

Reserve a time budget to listen

• When meeting someone, consider a time frame
• It won't take 0 seconds to interact with him/her
• Reserve a time that is different case by case
• It can be a minute, ten minutes or ten seconds
• Take it as an investment, it'll come back worth

2

Ask yourself about the other's mental status

• Is he/she angry, sad, happy, depressed, entusiasthic
• Is he/she in hurry?
• Is he/she worry for something?
• Is he/she open?
• Is he/she looking at you while talking?

3

Capture the hidden meaning

• What does he/she want to mean behind the surface?
• Why is he/she communicating to you?
• What can you say to make him/her feel good?
• What shouldn't you say? (to preserve him/her)

If we want to remain human

LISTEN

Three tricks to help you listen

• Reserve time
• Ask yourself about the other's feeling
