It is hardly surprising [that we struggle with the notion of how long we will be here]. At first, life seems quite endless. At seven, it feels like an eternity till Christmas. At eleven, it is almost impossible to imagine what it might be like to be twenty-two. At twenty-two, thirty feels absurdly remote. Time does us a disservice in seeming so long, and yet turning out to be so resolutely short. Typically, people only become gripped by the idea of mortality at a few select points in their lives. Turning forty or fifty can bring a sudden reversal of perspective. We panic or become morose. We buy a new car or take up a musical instrument. However, [what this really indicates] is a dramatic failure of                              . The extraordinary aspect is not that we’re dying, but that the reality of the nature of existence did not get fixed firmly enough in our brains at an earlier, more appropriate, moment. A mid-life crisis is not a legitimate awakening; it’s a sign of being shamefully ill-prepared.

* do ~ a disservice: ~에게 해를 끼치다 ** resolutely: 단호하게 *** morose: 침울한

The never-ending flood of facts and data <in our contemporary world> has caused a paradigm shift in [how we relate to information]. Whereas at one time information was community-based, slow to retrieve, and often the domain of experts, information is now global, instantaneous, and often in the public domain. We now want information and content in our own hands and on our own terms. We maintain an underlying belief [that it is our fundamental right to have access to wellstructured and organized information]. As a result, information design is exploding as organizations and individuals scramble to manage an overwhelming quantity of content. is now a principal concern. According to professor of information design Dino Karabeg, “Informing can make the difference between the technologically advanced culture which wanders aimlessly and often destructively, and a culture with vision and direction.”

Co-dependency in adults exists [when two psychologically dependent people form a relationship with each other for the unconscious purpose of completing their early bonding processes]. Their co-dependent relationship appears to be made up of two half-persons attempting to create one whole person. Because both partners lacked secure bonding in early childhood, neither is free to feel or act independently of the other, so they stick together like glue. The focus is always on the other person, not on oneself. Each hopes the other person will provide what he or she never got in early childhood: intimacy and secure bonding. Their relationship cannot grow, because this goal is never conscious or spoken. As a result, each looks to the other to make the necessary growth happen. When it doesn’t, the partners try to control each other and expect the other person to always behave in certain ways to bring them closer together. [Because each one is focused on the other person], both are able to avoid looking at themselves and focusing on their self-development. In co-dependent relationships, the focus is                        .

 

① always outward, not inward            ② strictly on one’s self-growth

③ on establishing independence        ④ on a diverse range of elements

⑤ clear to everyone on the surface

Despite his tarnished reputation among neuroscientists, Sigmund Freud was right about many things. Looking back through the history of science, he identified three ‘strikes’ against                  , each marking a major scientific advance [that was strongly resisted at the time]. The first was by Copernicus, who showed with his heliocentric theory that the Earth rotates around the sun, and not the other way around. With this dawned the realisation that we are not at the centre of the universe; we are just a speck somewhere out there in the vastness, a pale blue dot suspended in the abyss. Next came Darwin, who revealed that we share common ancestry with all other living things, a realisation that is — astonishingly — still resisted in some parts of the world even today. Immodestly, Freud’s third strike against human exceptionalism was his own theory of the unconscious mind, which challenged the idea that our mental lives are under our conscious, rational control. While he may have been off target in the details, Freud was absolutely right to point out that a naturalistic explanation of mind and consciousness would be a further, and perhaps final, dethronement of humankind.

* tarnish: (명예 따위를) 손상시키다 ** abyss: 심연 *** dethronement: 권좌에서 몰아내기, 폐위

① the oppression of the social class system

② fear caused by the supernatural power of God

③ academic conditions causing uncertainty and stress

④ the perceived self-importance of the human species
