話す言葉は考え方を変えるのか？ (Does the language you speak change how you think?)

アイデアの歴史 - マナー (HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners)
- There is unwitting cruelty and political subterfuge in the defence of natural manners which suggest we are all equal when we are not, or which allow one gender to pester another. There is a fine line between being natural about things and being bothersome to others, a line we are continuing to explore, often at great cost to all concerned. There are no doubt many behaviours which many of us subscribe to now, which at a later age may come to see as no less vulgar than Catherine de' Medici found a meal without a fork. The aspiration to be well-mannered shouldn't be seen as pretentious or fake. It should be generously interpreted as always belonging to a highly important wish not to cause other people distress through one's impulses and needs. The history of manners goes on.
私たちが平等でないにもかかわらず、皆平等であるかのような自然なマナーを守ったり、ある性別が別の性別に干渉することを許したりすることには、知らず知らずのうちに残酷さや政治的な裏工作がある。物事に対して自然であることと、他人に迷惑をかけることの間には微妙な境界線があり、私たちはしばしば関係者全員に多大な犠牲を払いながら、その境界線を探り続けている。カトリーヌ・ド・メディチがフォークなしで食事をしたのと同じように、後年、下品な行為と見なされるようになるかもしれない。礼儀正しくありたいという願望は、気取ったり見せ
- The aspiration to be well mannered should not be seen as pretentious or fake.

TikTokのウェルネス詐欺を見分ける方法 - What in the Worldポッドキャスト BBC World Service (How can you spot a TikTok wellness scam? - What in the World podcast, BBC World Service)
- So it's kind of easy to say like, oh drink more water or eat a more balanced meal, but a lot of people have kind of tried this before or are already doing it in their life, so it doesn't kind of seem like something you can really easily latch on to. Whereas when you say cut out all carbs, that's like a new thing that you can bring into your life that feels like you're really changing something. So trends tend to be something that's new, kind of strange sounding, and something that you can easily latch on to that people think may improve their life. Now we should point out that in terms of the wellness industry, not everything is a scam. As you said up top, it's a massive industry and there are indeed products that are backed by scientific evidence. My question for you is this though, where is the line? When does it become problematic? It's really tough to draw that line sometimes because you've got most of the trends that I see tend to be kind of in this middle area where they don't work, but they don't cost you money, so it's not really an issue if people want to try them. It may lead to something, it may make you happier in some way, but it kind of is this middle ground where, oh it is a lie, but at least there's no direct harm being caused. And then you have the next step, which is selling a product that may not have any harms, costs a lot of money, but also doesn't work. So that's actually ripping people off. Then you've got the next step where someone tries a wellness trend or believes in these products so much that they don't then seek mainstream medical care. That's really problematic because it delays treatment, it can delay prevention, which is really the most important point in medical care, and it can cause people to have a bit of distrust in mainstream medicine and think that this maybe natural solution that an influence is selling is better than a pharmaceutical or doctor recommended treatment. And then there's the last step where influencers recommend products or regimes that are actively harmful. So this is when they recommend disordered eating habits or a product that has a high concentration of some chemical or some, I don't know, byproducts that can actually cause harm. Now I think it's easy for people to watch this and say, oh how could people fall for these scams? But the fact is there are a lot of vulnerable people. Perhaps they have consulted a doctor, they haven't found a solution, and they sincerely want that solution. Do you think that plays in to this becoming so popular, this trend taking off? It's so easy to be swept up when you're seeing video after video after video from these beautiful influencers who've changed their lives and look at that and be like, wow, I want to feel like, I want my gut to be healthy, I want my hormones to be balanced. These terms are meaningless and gut health, for example, is so complex. An influencer on TikTok is not going to know how to solve it. We talked about aspiration, we talked about people seeking a solution. Are there any other reasons that these online trends go viral, that they're so effective for the influencer in promoting themselves? I think one thing that these viral trends tend to do really well for influencers is to be a successful influencer, you need to have a story, you need to have a character arc. These wellness trends are a really easy way to create a character arc for yourself. You could say, come with me on my journey to heal my cortisol levels. It's one of those things where, okay, well now I'm going to tune in and see if this influencer does heal their cortisol. Even if they're doing completely separate things. One trend that people may have seen is cortisol face, which is when there's just like a bit of fat in your face.
だから、もっと水を飲むとか、もっとバランスの取れた食事をするとか、言うのは簡単なんだけど、多くの人は以前にも試したことがあったり、すでに生活の中で実践していたりするから、簡単に取り入れることはできないんだ。一方、炭水化物をすべて抜くというのは、自分の生活に新しいことを取り入れることができ、何かを本当に変えているように感じられる。だから、トレンドというのは、新しくて、ちょっと奇妙な響きがあって、人々が自分の生活を向上させるかもしれないと思うような、簡単に取り入れることができるものになりがちなのだ。ウェルネス
