about

現在の社会は生産性の社会である。しかし、生産性を理解するために、測定が必要だ。最低限の費用で物を作るために生産性を受け入れ、測定を中心化したのだ。

この活動で世界中の生活水準が上がっているのだ。これは確実にいいこと。しかし、生産性や測定、これは生きるための哲学ではない。

現在の社会は高速の社会である。仕事、余暇、恋愛でも、人間の人生は今データ化されて、測定されている。そして、生産性や効率のためにどんどん早く動くことになっている。我々のマインドも高速化されていると言えるのだろう。

この現象で時間と空間の経験が曲げられている。終わりのない作業の流れで反省する時間がない。このような状況では暇の時間が無駄遣いになってしまう。反省は測定できないので、生産ではない。効率的ではない。このような考え方に飲み込まれたら、自分を速めるしかない。

しかし、自然の美しさを味わうこと、人を愛すること、自分を深く理解すること、このような経験は測定できないのだ。効率を高められない。人生の大事なことは時間が必要だ。生産性の時間ではない。生き物の時間である。

現在、梅レコードは、「カナダ」の西海岸の Lekwungen と Cowichan 先住民族の土地に在留している　PJS のアルバム "Malahat" をリリースする。

Our society is now a society of productivity. But to understand productivity, measurement is necessary. In order to create things for the lowest possible cost we have embraced productivity and made measurement central to our society.

This activity has raised the standard of living worldwide. This is undoubtedly a good thing. However, productivity and measurement - these are not a philosophy for life.

Our society is now a high-speed society. In work, leisure, and even romance, our lives are being turned in to data and measured. And as such we begin to move faster and faster in the name of productivity and efficiency. Perhaps we can even say that the working of our minds is being sped up.

Through this phenomenon, our experience of time and space is distorted. In the endless flow of tasks we have no time for reflection. In such a condition, free time becomes wasted time. Contemplation cannot be measured, and thus is not productive. It is not efficient. If one accepts this way of thinking, then speeding oneself up is the only option.

However, appreciating the beauty of nature, loving someone, understanding oneself deeply - these are not measurable experiences. We cannot increase their efficiency. The essential experiences of life require time. Not productive time, but living time.

Umé Records presents the album "Malahat" by PJS, who reside on Lekwungen and Cowichan Tribes unceded territory on the West coast of "Canada".
