これは孤独の流行ではなく、親密さの危機だ | Justin Garcia | TEDxKC

現代の「孤独の流行」は、つながりの不足というより親密さの深みの欠如として捉えるべきだと、進化生物学者のジャスティン・ガルシアは論じます。脅威に敏感な神経系が、本物の親密さに伴うリスクを取る代わりに、近さを模倣させてしまう可能性にも触れています。キンゼー研究所の研究を踏まえ、人々が再び深い関係を築くために何が必要かを考察する講演です。TEDxKCでの講演で、TEDxは独立して運営されるイベントです。

• 孤独を、つながりの欠如ではなく深みの欠如として再定義する
• 脅威に敏感な神経系が模倣された近さを好む仕組みを説明する
• 深い親密さを築くために必要なことを考察する

Evolutionary biologist Justin Garcia argues that we've misdiagnosed the modern "loneliness crisis." It's not a lack of connection — it's a lack of depth. Drawing on research from the Kinsey Institute, he explains why our threat-wired nervous systems are simulating closeness instead of risking real intimacy, and explores what it takes to go deep again. Dr. Justin Garcia is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships. Since 2019, he has served as the Executive Director of the world-renowned Kinsey Institute, where he is also a Senior Scientist. He holds an appointment as the Ruth N. Halls Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University and is a Founding Co-Director of Human Sexuality and Health at the IU School of Medicine. Dr. Garcia holds a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology and M.S. in biomedical anthropology from Binghamton University and an Executive Certificate in Public Leadership from Harvard Kennedy School. An award-winning researcher and educator, Dr. Garcia has consulted with a variety of industry partners, and he is currently the Chief Scientific Advisor to Match, where he provides expertise for the annual Singles in America study. His research has been featured widely in the media and focuses on people’s romantic and sexual lives throughout the life course, especially on integrative biopsychosocial models of variation in courtship, intimacy, and sexual behavior. He has co-authored over 100 academic articles and book chapters, and is co-author of Evolution and Human Sexual Behavior. His latest book, The Intimate Animal, explores the science behind why we live and die for love. https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/intimate-animal.html This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
