Üsküdar Üniversitesi Founding Rector Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, was a guest at the Art of Happy Living Symposium organized by News Academy PDR. Making evaluations on the topic of “The Revolution of Psychology and Our Present Day”, Tarhan stated, “To catch the industrial revolution, one must be productive. All power, capital, and dominance are gathered in the hands of those who achieve this. We have not yet established this balance. Priority must be given to science and innovation.”
“For something to be perfect, a chaotic order is necessary”
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan emphasized that for there to be order in the universe, there must be a chaotic order. Tarhan said; “People who say they understand quantum have not understood it. Quantum actually means chaos, chaos theory, and chaotic order. There is a chaotic order in the universe; errors, flaws, mistakes, and evils are part of perfection. For something to be perfect, there must absolutely be a chaotic order. There are also consciousness studies within chaotic order.”
“To catch the industrial revolution, one must be productive”
Tarhan, pointing out that priority should be given to science and innovation, said; “The Ottomans missed Industry 1.0 and 2.0. Unfortunately, we also missed 3.0 in the 20th century. Currently, Industry 4.0 is being experienced; at least let's not miss this one. If you are an object rather than a subject of a process, and there is only consumption, it becomes impossible to catch the industrial revolution. To catch the industrial revolution, one must be productive. All power, capital, and dominance are gathered in the hands of those who achieve this. We have not yet established this balance. Priority must be given to science and innovation. A synthesis of religion and science has now begun. In Industry 4.0, young people can do great things with supercomputers; the important thing is that there should be no state obstacle in this regard. The state will pave the way for R&D. Amazon invests 80 percent of its revenue in R&D. China and South Korea invest more than 10 percent in R&D. Turkey still could not exceed 3 percent. We invest in mountains and stones, but because we don't do R&D, we cannot produce anything new.”
“It is necessary to approach the young generation with digital models”
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, stating that research has shown that young people are lonelier than the elderly, said, “In 2018, a study on loneliness was conducted in the UK. The study found that young people aged 16-24 were lonelier than those aged 75 and over. We see this in our students as well. When they gather, they always have their phones in hand. When you ask young people 'Do you want to get married?', they say 'I won't marry.' When asked why, they say they see marriage as a hindrance. Currently, young people question everything. They need a good guide. We cannot educate children and young people by scaring or angering them. This generation's learning model is different. We need to approach the young generation with digital models.”
Six questions to remember!
Tarhan emphasized that reading is a good thing, but new thoughts should be generated after reading; “If you generate new thoughts, it creates new networks in the brain. The best way to explain how the brain works is the network model, and creating new networks here means being able to stop brain aging. That's why reading books is good, but you should either try to put what you read into practice or apply the 5W1H method to it. A Canadian psychologist discovered the 5W1H method and called it the six loyal guardians of memory. Therefore, ask these six questions to remember something.”
