About The Slow Gaze

You are invited to linger with these contemplative aphorisms. Emerging from the space between the heartbeats of constant stimulation that we’ve mistaken for progress. In a society that values constant performance and production, where we have become addicted to optimising ourselves, The Slow Gaze offers no advice, seeks not to comfort or console, and makes no attempt to inspire. It is the fruit of slowing down and the audacity to forgo the allure of popularity and quick fixes. Here, we examine the wounds of our disenchanted age. Not to heal them. But to truly see them.

Episode 1: Befriending Boredom

Episode 1: The prevailing cultural narrative suggests that boredom is an enemy to be defeated. In our hyper-stimulated culture that constantly demands our attention and money, perhaps boredom is a way of saying ‘no.’ This episode examines our collective aversion to boredom, and explores related issues: the commodification of experience, the tyranny of choice and the knowledge-wisdom gap.It concludes with a paradoxical hypothesis.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
