Stvarnost nije nešto što percipirate, to je nešto što stvarate u vašem umu. Isac Lidsky ovo je naučio iz prve ruke, kada su nepredviđene životne okolnosti donijele vrijedna shvaćanja. U ovoj introspektivi, osobnom govoru, on nas izaziva da odbacimo izlike, pretpostavke i strah, i prihvatimo nevjerojatnu odgovornost kreiranja vlastite stvarnosti.

In her mind, it was a fact
as true as any other.

Our lives are full

Naši životi puni su riba

We make assumptions

Zadržavamo predrasude.

We know that we are right,

Znamo da smo mi u pravu,

00:46
We fear the worst.
14
34400
1616
Bojimo se najgoreg.
00:48
We strive for unattainable perfection.
15
36040

Težimo nedostižnoj savršenosti.
00:50
We tell ourselves
what we can and cannot do.

In our minds, fish swim by in reverse

U našim umovima, ribe plivaju
unatrag mašući glavama

00:58
and we don't even notice them.
18
46000

i mi ih ni ne primjetimo.
01:01
I'm going to tell you
five facts about myself.

Which fact is not true?

1200
Koja činjenica nije istinita?
01:35
Actually, they're all true.
27
83880
1360
Pa zapravo, sve su istinite.
01:38
Yeah. They're all true.
28
86240
1280
Da. One su sve istinite.
01:40
(Applause)

01:44
At this point, most people really
only care about the television show.

U ovom trenutku,
većinu ljudi zanima samo tv serija.

01:48
(Laughter)
31
96360
1680
(Smijeh)
01:51
I know this from experience.
32
99680
1560
Znam to iz iskustva.
01:54
OK, so the show was NBC's
"Saved by the Bell: The New Class."

33
102320
3336
Ok, serija je bila NBC-jeva
"Spasilo ih zvono: Novi razred."

01:57
And I played Weasel Wyzell,
34
105680

A ja sam bio Weasel Wyzell,

who was the sort of dorky,
nerdy character on the show,

što je za mene bio veliki
glumački izazov,
glumački izazov,
02:11
for me as a 13-year-old boy.
37
119120
1496
jer sam imao 13 godina.
02:12
(Laughter)
38
120640
1520
(Smijeh)
02:15
Now, did you struggle
with number four, my blindness?

39
123320
2920
Da li ste se mučili s brojem četiri,
mojom sljepoćom?
mojom sljepoćom?
02:19
Why is that?
40
127120
1200
Zašto je to tako?
02:21
We make assumptions
about so-called disabilities.

41
129280
2976
Radimo pretpostavke
o takozvanim invalidnostima.

02:24
As a blind man, I confront
others' incorrect assumptions

Kao slijepac, susrećem se
sa netočnim pretpostavkama

02:27
about my abilities every day.
43

02:30
My point today is not
about my blindness, however.

44
138640
2536
No, ja danas ne pričam
o svojoj sljepoći.
o svojoj sljepoći.
02:33
It's about my vision.
45
141200
1200
Pričam o svom vidu.
02:35
Going blind taught me
to live my life eyes wide open.

46
143480
3800
Oslijepivši, naučio sam živjeti
život širom otvorenih očiju.

02:40
It taught me to spot
those backwards-swimming fish

47
148200
2376
Naučilo me da uočim te
ribe koje plivaju unatraške,
ribe koje plivaju unatraške,
02:42
that our minds create.
48
150600
1496
koje naš um stvara.
02:44
Going blind cast them into focus.
49
152120
2160
Oslijepivši, te ribe su došle u fokus.
02:47
What does it feel like to see?
50
155760
2080
Kakav je osjećaj gledati?
02:50
It's immediate and passive.
51
158720
1640
Neposredno je i pasivno.
02:52
You open your eyes and there's the world.
52
160800
2136
Otvorite oči i svijet je tu.
02:54
Seeing is believing. Sight is truth.
53
162960
2096
Vidjeti je vjerovati. Vid je istina.
02:57
Right?
54
165080
1200
Zar ne?
02:59
Well, that's what I thought.
55
167120
1680
Pa, to sam i ja mislio.
03:01
Then, from age 12 to 25,
my retinas progressively deteriorated.

56
169520
4920
Onda, od 12 do 25 godine
rožnice su mi propadale.
rožnice su mi propadale.
03:07
My sight became an increasingly bizarre
57
175280
3016
Moj vid postajao je sve čudnija

Prodavač kojeg sam s
radošću pronašao u trgovini

03:16
was really a mannequin.
60
184000
1200
bila je zapravo lutka.
03:17
Reaching down to wash my hands,
61
185880
1496
Pokušavajući oprati ruke,
03:19
I suddenly saw it was
a urinal I was touching, not a sink,
a urinal I was touching, not a sink,
62
187400
3216
shvatio sam da sam ruke
stavio u pisoar, a ne umivaonik,
stavio u pisoar, a ne umivaonik,
03:22
when my fingers felt its true shape.
63
190640

kada su moji prsti osjetili stvarni oblik.
03:25
A friend described

64
193160
2136
Prijatelj mi je opisao fotografiju

03:27
and only then I could see
the image depicted.
the image depicted.
65
195320
2120
i tek onda sam mogao vidjeti opisanu sliku,.
03:30
Objects appeared, morphed
and disappeared in my reality.
and disappeared in my reality.
66
198720
4320
Predmeti su bili izobličeni
i nestajali su u mojoj stvarnosti.
i nestajali su u mojoj stvarnosti.
03:36
It was difficult and exhausting to see.
67
204080
2440
Bilo je teško i iscrpljujuće gledati.
03:39
I pieced together fragmented,
transitory images,

68
207600
3256
Spajao sam fragmentirane,
prijelazne slike,
prijelazne slike,
03:42
consciously analyzed the clues,
69
210880
1976
svjesno analizirao tragove,
03:44
searched for some logic
in my crumbling kaleidoscope,
in my crumbling kaleidoscope,
70
212880
3080
tražio smisao
u mom kaleidoskopu koji se raspadao,
u mom kaleidoskopu koji se raspadao,
03:48
until I saw nothing at all.
71
216840
1286
dok nisam vidio ništa,
03:51
I learned that what we see
72
219600
1656
i naučio sam da ono što vidimo
03:53
is not universal truth.
73
221280
2360
nije univerzalna istina.
03:56
It is not objective reality.
74
224200
2200
To nije objektivna stvarnost.
04:00
What we see is a unique,
personal, virtual reality
personal, virtual reality
75
228000
4696
Ono što vidimo je jedinstvena,
osobna, virtualna stvarnost
osobna, virtualna stvarnost
04:04
that is masterfully
constructed by our brain.
constructed by our brain.
76
232720
2120
koju naš mozak vješto konstruira.
04:07
Let me explain with a bit
of amateur neuroscience.
of amateur neuroscience.
77
235560
2334
Dozvolite da vam objasnim nešto
o amaterskoj neuroznanosti.
o amaterskoj neuroznanosti.
04:09
Your visual cortex takes up
about 30 percent of your brain.
about 30 percent of your brain.
78
237918
3240
Vaš vizualni korteks zauzima
oko 30 posto vašeg mozga.
oko 30 posto vašeg mozga.
04:13
That's compared to approximately
eight percent for touch
eight percent for touch
79
241560
3456
To je u usporedbi s otprilike
osam posto za dodir
osam posto za dodir
04:17
and two to three percent for hearing.
80
245040
1800
i dva do tri posto za sluh.
04:19
Every second, your eyes
can send your visual cortex
can send your visual cortex
81
247600
3736
Svake sekunde, vaše oči mogu
poslati vašem vizualnom koreteksu
poslati vašem vizualnom koreteksu
04:23
as many as two billion
pieces of information.
pieces of information.
82
251360
2160
do 2 milijarde komada informacija.
04:26
The rest of your body can send your brain
only an additional billion.
only an additional billion.
83
254360
3440
Ostatak tijela šalje samo još milijardu.
04:30
So sight is one third
of your brain by volume
of your brain by volume
84
258680
4216
Vid je jedna trećina mozga
u volumenu
u volumenu
04:34
and can claim about two thirds
of your brain's processing resources.
of your brain's processing resources.
85
262920
3320
i može zauzeti dvije trećine
resursa za procesuiranje vašeg mozga.
resursa za procesuiranje vašeg mozga.
04:39
It's no surprise then
86
267040
1216
Onda nije iznenađujuće
04:40
that the illusion
of sight is so compelling.
of sight is so compelling.
87
268280
2096
da je iluzija vida tako privlačna.
04:42
But make no mistake about it:
sight is an illusion.
sight is an illusion.
88
270400
2400
Ali ne griješite: vid je iluzija.
04:45
Here's where it gets interesting.
89
273920
1816
Ovdje postaje zanimljivo.
04:47
To create the experience of sight,
90
275760
2096
Kako biste stvorili iskustvo vida,
04:49
your brain references your conceptual
understanding of the world,
understanding of the world,
91
277880
3536
vaš mozak referira se na vaše
konceptualno shvaćanje svijeta,

04:53
other knowledge, your memories,
opinions, emotions, mental attention.
opinions, emotions, mental attention.
92
281440
4056
drugo znanje, kao sjećanja,
mišljenja, emocije, pozornost.
mišljenja, emocije, pozornost.
04:57
All of these things and far more
are linked in your brain to your sight.
are linked in your brain to your sight.
93
285520
4560
Sve te stvari i puno više
povezani su u mozgu s vašim vidom.
povezani su u mozgu s vašim vidom.
05:03
These linkages work both ways,
and usually occur subconsciously.
and usually occur subconsciously.
94
291040
3416
Ove veze rade u oba smjera,
i najčešće se javljaju podsvjesno.
i najčešće se javljaju podsvjesno.
05:06
So for example,
95
294480
1856
Na primjer,
05:08
what you see impacts how you feel,
96
296360
2136
ono što vidite utječe na to kako se osjećate,
05:10
and the way you feel
can literally change what you see.
can literally change what you see.
97
298520
2600
i to kako se osjećate
može doslovno promijeniti što vidite.
može doslovno promijeniti što vidite.
05:14
Numerous studies demonstrate this.
98
302040
1720
Brojne studije demonstriraju ovo.
05:16
If you are asked to estimate
99
304600
1856
Ako vas pitaju da procijenite
05:18
the walking speed of a man
in a video, for example,
in a video, for example,
100
306480
3176
brzinu čovjeka u videu, na primjer,
05:21
your answer will be different if you're
told to think about cheetahs or turtles.
told to think about cheetahs or turtles.
101
309680
4120
vaš odgovor će biti drugačiji ako vam kažu
da mislite o leopardima ili kornjačama.
da mislite o leopardima ili kornjačama.
05:27
A hill appears steeper
if you've just exercised,
if you've just exercised,
102
315120
3296
Brdo je strmije ako ste upravo vježbali,
05:30
and a landmark appears farther away
103
318440
2216
i znamenitost izgleda dalje
05:32
if you're wearing a heavy backpack.
104
320680
1680
ako nosite težak ruksak.
05:35
We have arrived
at a fundamental contradiction.
at a fundamental contradiction.
105
323960
2880
Stigli smo
do fundametalne proturječnosti.
do fundametalne proturječnosti.
05:40
What you see is a complex
mental construction of your own making,
mental construction of your own making,
106
328160
4416
Ono što vidite je složena
mentalna konstrukcija vaše izrade,
mentalna konstrukcija vaše izrade,
05:44
but you experience it passively
107
332600
1776
ali ju doživljavate pasivno
05:46
as a direct representation
of the world around you.
of the world around you.
108
334400
2400
kao direktnu reprezentaciju
svijeta oko vas.
svijeta oko vas.
05:49
You create your own reality,
and you believe it.
and you believe it.
109
337680
2600
Stvarate vlastitu realnost
i vjerujete u nju.
i vjerujete u nju.
05:53
I believed mine until it broke apart.
110
341560
2240
U svoju sam vjerovao dok se nije raspala.
05:56
The deterioration of my eyes
shattered the illusion.
shattered the illusion.
111
344920
2440
Propadanje mojih očiju razbilo
je tu iluziju.
je tu iluziju.
06:00
You see, sight is just one way
112
348720
2296
Vidite, vid je samo jedan način
06:03
we shape our reality.
113
351040
1680
na koji oblikujemo svoju stvarnost.
06:05
We create our own realities
in many other ways.
in many other ways.
114
353280
2600
Stvaramo vlastitu stvarnost
na razne načine.
na razne načine.
06:09
Let's take fear as just one example.
115
357160
2960
Uzmimo strah kao jedan primjer.
06:13
Your fears distort your reality.
116
361440
2840
Vaši strahovi iskrivljuju vašu strvarnost.
06:17
Under the warped logic of fear,
anything is better than the uncertain.
anything is better than the uncertain.
117
365880
4176
Pod iskrivljenom logikom straha,
sve je bolje od nesigurnosti.
sve je bolje od nesigurnosti.
06:22
Fear fills the void at all costs,
118
370080
2456
Strah ispunjava prazninu pod svaku cijenu,
06:24
passing off what you dread
for what you know,
for what you know,
119
372560
2136
mjenjajući ono čega se bojite
za ono što vam je poznato,
za ono što vam je poznato,
06:26
offering up the worst
in place of the ambiguous,
in place of the ambiguous,
120
374720
2776
nudeći najgore u zamjenu
za ono nejasno,

Zar ne?
06:37
Fear replaces the unknown with the awful.
125
385560

Strah mijenja nepoznato užasnim.

Now, fear is self-realizing.

drowning your capacity

07:19
It was the end of achievement for me.
139
427360
1880
To je bio kraj postizanja za mene.
07:22
Blindness meant I would live
an unremarkable life,

Sljepoća je značila da ću
živjeti nedojmljiv život,

1200
i najvjerojatnije sam.
07:30
I knew it.

This was a fiction born of my fears,

07:36
It was a lie, but it was my reality,

just like those backwards-swimming fish
in little Dorothy's mind.

Kao one ribe koje plivaju

If I had not confronted

Može ju se naučiti. Može se vježbati.

I will summarize very briefly.

09:44
They exact a toll in missed opportunities

Naplaćuju vam putarinu u promašenim
prilikama i neostvarenom potencijalu,

and they engender insecurity and distrust

where you seek fulfillment and connection.

10:06
For me, going blind
was a profound blessing,

Za mene je sljepoća bila
istinski blagoslov

jer mi je sljepoća dala viziju.

I hope you can see what I see.
