Last Thursday, at The Marmorosch Bucharest, during a special edition of the Excellence Series organized by Rotary Club București Excelsior, Professor Mircea Miclea spoke about one of the great paradoxes of the contemporary world: why, in an era in which we have access to more information than ever before, we feel increasingly uncertain, anxious, and stuck.
The conference “How the brain reacts to ambiguity and how we regulate purselves emotionally”started from an essential idea: ambiguity is not anxiety. Anxiety appears when uncertainty is not managed.
And the solution is not the obsessive accumulation of information or endless analysis. On the contrary, excessive reflection can itself become a form of paralysis.
The real mechanism of regulation, Professor Mircea Miclea argues, is an assumed direction, a plan, a concrete sense of purpose that reduces that feeling of “I don’t know what to do next.”
A conference about the brain and the mechanisms of anxiety, but also about lucidity, decision-making, and the need for meaning in a world that is becoming increasingly difficult to interpret.
