What cricket can teach us about the mind's experience of time – and how to deal with anxiety

If one side’s bowlers cannot capture all ten wickets in one day, they must toil on into the next.

Key Points: 
  • If one side’s bowlers cannot capture all ten wickets in one day, they must toil on into the next.
  • Each of the five test matches in this series last for a maximum of five days.
  • Australia’s men’s team won their first Ashes Test with only minutes to go in the final session of the fifth day.
  • To reach these overarching goals, we must experience short periods of extreme pressure and anxiety.

The ABC of time

    • This is followed by our attention being snatched from us to focus on a real or imagined threat.
    • In cognitive behavioural therapy, this is captured in the alarm-beliefs-coping model of anxiety (ABC).
    • Their beliefs (B) about whether the upcoming ball is a threat or not lead to an initial anxiety wave.
    • Research has found that each ABC process literally activates a different part of the brain.

Taking control of time

    • We also try to help the athlete cope by figuring out what level of control they have over various actions.
    • Bowlers, for example, only have control until they release the ball.
    • Batters, meanwhile, have very little control since they have to react to the bowling, ball by ball.
    • A CRT-based thought pattern would be: “I can control the fact that I need milk (X), but I cannot control the shop’s milk stock (Y)”.
    • The most helpful process here is accepting that you only have some control, then using CRT to allocate efforts accordingly.

How teachers can stay true to history without breaking new laws that restrict what they can teach about racism

Retrieved on: 
Friday, June 2, 2023

Since 2021, at least 28 states have adopted measures that restrict how teachers can teach the history of racism in the U.S.

Key Points: 
  • Since 2021, at least 28 states have adopted measures that restrict how teachers can teach the history of racism in the U.S.
  • Some observers have posited that the wave of new education laws will have a chilling effect on how history is taught.
  • But a close look at these laws shows that they are generally written so broadly that they can’t effectively stop teachers from teaching history in a way that’s fair, accurate and true.

Weaknesses seen

    • Critical race theory is a concept that holds that racism is not just something that takes place among individuals, but rather has been embedded in American law and policy.
    • Some, such as law professor Jonathan Feingold, go so far as to say most of the laws actually call for more CRT, not less.
    • However, I do see a lot of leeway and loopholes in the laws.

Focus on the free market

    • To make this more relatable to children, teachers could discuss something that every child understands: food and hunger.
    • Teachers can point out that for all the prowess of America’s free market, before the Civil War, that free market was largely dependent on the violence and forced labor that slavery involved.

Examining the concept of liberty

    • So were most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, which famously describes liberty as an “inalienable” God-given right.
    • Teachers could also examine the starkly different visions of liberty that developed over time.

Paying homage to freed men in battle

    • This serves as a great reason to teach about formerly enslaved men – including those who were awarded the Medal of Honor – who joined the Union army and helped defeat the Confederacy.
    • By studying these men and the reason they received these medals, students will learn the role that Black people themselves played in the abolition of slavery – the largest expansion of liberty in American history.
