- And yet that is not talked about or held up as a perfectly viable alternative or living alongside marriage.それでも、それは話題にもされず、結婚と同等の選択肢として認識されていません。2:01
- So I wanted to talk to you about that.だからあなたと話したかったのです。2:09
- Yeah, no, no, there's a lot there.ええ、本当に、いろいろありますね。2:11
- I think most people can't conceptualize that it is possible to be that close and that committed and have such an enduring relationship with someone who you aren't romantically involvedほとんどの人は、そこまで親密で献身的で、恋愛関係にない人と長く続く関係を持つことが可能だと想像できません2:13
- in.。2:25
- I mean, even if the question was, have you had an enduring relationship in your life or what is the most devoted relationship in your life?つまり、質問が「人生で長く続く関係を持ったか」「最も献身的な関係は何か」だったとしても。2:25
- It sounds like you have an answer.答えがありそうですね。2:34
- It's just that the term relationship now is has been monopolized by romantic relationships and that the only kind of relationship that is considered legitimate for the kinds of questionsただ、「関係」という言葉は今、ロマンティックな関係に独占されていて、人が問う唯一の正当な関係は2:35
- people are asking would be a romantic relationship.ロマンティックな関係だけです。2:44
- And otherwise it just doesn't count.そうでなければカウントされません。2:47
- And, you know, absolutely what I'm trying to show is that there are other kinds of really abiding relationships that matter and that for reasons that I don't think peopleそして確かに、私が示そうとしているのは、重要な本当に深い関係があり、人々が疑問を持たなかった理由で2:49
- have really questioned that they've privileged romantic coupling over the other kinds of ways that we can be bound to other people where your romantic partner or your spouse is彼らがロマンティックなカップリングを、他の人と結びつく他の方法より優先させたことで、あなたのロマンティックパートナーや配偶者が2:58
- supposed to be your confidant and your lover and your best friend.あなたの信頼できる人、恋人、親友であるべきだと考えています。3:08
- And that only in the last like 70 years or so have we expected that the only kind of relationship where you can discover deep emotional intimacy is within aそして、ここ70年ほどの間だけ、深い感情的な親密さを見つけることができる唯一の関係は3:13
- marriage as opposed to with friends.友人ではなく結婚の中だと期待してきました。3:24
- And in the past, people saw their friends as the most important relationship in their life as, you know, the way that ancient Romans would talk about their friends as過去には、人々は友人を人生で最も重要な関係として見ました。古代ローマ人が友人について話すように3:26
- the greater half of my soul.「私の魂の大半」と。3:35
- So if you go really far back, it starts to look quite different in terms of how people valued platonic versus romantic relationships.だから、本当に遡ると、人々が友情とロマンティックな関係をどう評価したかで、かなり異なって見えます。3:37
- Your work on friendship is a common theme.あなたの友情についての作品は共通のテーマです。3:45
- What specifically got you on this path?具体的には何があなたをこの道に導きましたか?3:48
- Like, why did you find yourself so interested in in friends?つまり、なぜ友人にそこまで興味を持つようになったのですか?3:52
- What set me on the path for writing about this is personal, but in a kind of different way of falling into a friendship that really scrambled to me whatこれについて書く道に導いたのは個人的なもので、本当に私の考えを変えた友情に陥ることで3:56
- the definition of friend is.友人の定義が。4:06
- So this is a friend who I write about and refer to as M.だから、これは私が「M」と呼ぶ友人です。4:07
- And she and I like, I felt like I'd fallen in love with her in a way that was not different fundamentally from how I'd fallen in love with my彼女と私は、彼女に恋をした方法が、夫に恋をした方法と本質的に異ならないと感じました4:12
- husband.。4:19
- It just didn't have a sexual component.ただセックスという要素がなかっただけです。4:19
- So I had so many questions that came up from that friendship around how do we decide which relationships matter the most?だからその友情から多くの質問が生じました。どの関係が最も重要かをどう決めるか?4:22
- Why do we set certain limits on friendship?なぜ友情に制限を設けるのか?4:29
- Why don't we have more terms to talk about the closest of friendships?なぜ最も親しい友情を説明する言葉がもっとないのか?4:31
- And once I started asking questions about our specific friendship, I found myself asking questions about all kinds of friendships and, you know, have an interest in men's friendships and自分たちの友情について質問を始めると、あらゆる種類の友情について質問するようになりました。男性の友情にも興味があります4:35
- why, you know, it's especially hard for them to get the kind of intimacy that I was able to find so easily.そしてなぜ、特に彼らが私が簡単に見つけられた親密さを得るのが難しいのか。4:45
- So a lot of the writing came from like this specific relationship that then made me look more broadly at friendships.だから執筆の多くは、その後、私が友情をより広く見るようにしたこの特定の関係から生まれました。4:52
- And then you went and the piece I found you was you wrote about the legal rights of friends where they have none.そしてあなたが行った記事で、あなたが書いたのは、友人が法的権利を持たないことについてでした。4:58
- Yeah, I mean, the point for me is not that we need to create like new categories for friendship in the law, which I think might be one one routeええ、つまり、法律で友情の新しいカテゴリーを作る必要があるということではなく、それが一つの方法かもしれません5:04
- to go.。5:11
- But instead to say, on what basis are we designating some types of relationships significant and others insignificant and invisible?しかし代わりに、どのような基準で私たちは関係の特定のタイプを重要で、他を軽視し、見えないものにしているのか?5:12
- And when you look at friendships that have lasted 50 years, and these are people who are there for a year's worth of cancer treatments for their, you know, forそして50年続いた友情を見ると、彼らは1年分のがん治療を支えた人々です5:21
- their friend and who are executor of their friends of state and have medical legal power of attorney rights, the kind of broader point that I'm interested in is how友人の遺産管理人で医療に関する権限を持つ人々です。私が知りたいのは5:32
- we are so set on certain kind of categories for creating this hierarchy of which relationships matter and don't and are paying less attention to what is actually happening within関係にランクをつけるため特定のカテゴリーに縛られていて、実際に何が起きているか見落としています5:41
- the relationships.その関係の中で5:49
- And can we be more, more expansive and open minded about how people set up their lives and who they're turning to?人がどう人生を作っていて誰に頼っているかについて、もっと広くて柔軟に考えることはできませんか?5:50
- I think it's such an interesting conversation about categories, right?カテゴリーについての会話は本当に興味深いと思いますね6:00
- Because we're talking about marriage is a category and friend is a separate category.結婚はカテゴリーで、友人は別のカテゴリーと考えているからです6:02
- And we're not talking about that friendships should necessarily have the same legal rights as marriages is not what we're saying.友情が結婚と同じ法的権利を持つべきだと言ってるわけではないんです6:06
- But but rather like, why can't for me, it's a fascinating conversation from a societal pressure thing, which is I found great relief in catharsis in reading your work thatむしろ、なぜできないのか、社会的プレッシャーの観点からの興味深い会話で、あなたの作品を読んで大きな救済感を感じました6:12
- there's nothing wrong with me, right?私に何も問題がないということですね6:21
- And I find the intense emotional intimacy from some of my friendships satisfying and shouldn't that be enough?友情からの深い感情的な親密さで満足できるし、それで十分じゃないですか?6:24
- But in the talking of categories, you know, Europeans make fun of Americans, because in America, everybody you meet is your friend.カテゴリーの話では、ヨーロッパ人はアメリカ人をからかいますね、アメリカでは会う人みんなが友人だから6:35
- My friend, this my friend that you've like met them once, you know, and I do think there is the need for more, at least more categories of friends.友人、この人友人、一度会っただけなのに、もっと多くの友人のカテゴリーが必要だと思います6:43
- I don't like to use.使うのが好きではありません6:52
- I like the term acquaintance.知人という言葉が好きです6:53
- Like, do you know this person?この人、知ってます?6:55
- Yes, they're my acquaintance, or I know them.はい、その人は私の知人です6:57
- They're my work friend, because I'm it's helping me delineate intimacy or an emotional intensity, because I don't you know, from the language, from the category, I have no intimacy仕事の友人です、なぜなら親密さや感情的な強さを区別するのに役立つからです。知人とは親密さがない6:59
- with an acquaintance.知人とは7:10
- And so I do think that the categories of friend is should be normalized, like that we should use the word acquaintance and other words more than we do, atだから友人のカテゴリーは一般的になるべきだと思います、知人などの言葉をもっと使うべきです7:13
- least in America, everyone's a friend, which then blurs the lines, right?特にアメリカでは誰もが友人だから、区別がなくなります7:22
- I mean, it makes the word almost meaningless.友人という言葉をほぼ意味なくしてしまいます7:27
- And I think it's, you know, this was one of the issues for me with my friend M that even the term best friend felt like it didn't actually describe私の友人Mとの問題の一つは、「親友」という言葉でさえ実際に説明できていないことでした7:29
- how close we were, where we were spending, you know, four or five days a week, we would stop by each other's houses.どれくらい近かったか、週に4、5日も一緒にいて、お互いの家に行き来してました7:39
- And we were the default plus ones to each other's parties and were very intimately involved in each other's lives.パーティーではいつも一緒だし、お互いの人生に深く関わっていました7:46
- And I know people who talk about their best friend who they see twice a year, or, you know, they have, you know, not that frequent phone calls, but they年に2回しか会わない親友の話をする人も知ってます、電話もそんなに頻繁ではありませんが7:53
- have a lot of affection for them, but it's not the same.彼らを深く愛していますが、それは違います8:00
- And, you know, and to say we were best friends felt like it wasn't actually conveying what we meant to each other.親友だと言うだけでは実は伝わっていないと感じました8:04
- So I think there is something about having more precision, because you, you know, you want people to understand.もっと正確な言葉が必要だと思います、人に理解してもらいたいから8:12
- I mean, one way this came up was, you know, I did an interview about my book and the interviewer talked about how he's described someone as his best friend,例えば、本についてのインタビューをしたとき、インタビュアーが誰かを親友として説明してました8:19
- but people and had to move away, move across the country from his best friend.でも彼は親友から引き離されて、国中引っ越さなくてはいけなくなりました8:30
- But nobody got it because it's his best friend, not a spouse.でも誰も理解しませんでした、配偶者ではなく親友だから8:34
- So maybe if he had another term, like this was my platonic partner, this was, there was some kind of legible category that maybe people would have understood.もし「プラトニックパートナー」という言葉があれば、人々は理解したかもしれません8:38
- Oh, this is actually really devastating that, you know, you aren't in the company of this person who you have, have really built your life around and best friend, let人生を一緒に作ってきた人と関係を失うのは本当に悲劇的です、親友であっても8:46
- alone friend is not communicating that.単なる友人では伝わりません8:56
- I do think language matters because language creates the, the, the category of possibility.言葉が大事だと思います、言葉は可能性の枠を作るから8:59
- Even if a failed romantic relationship, it allows a new category.たとえ失敗した恋愛関係でも、新しいカテゴリーを作ることができます9:06
- If, you know, let's just be friends is like, oh my God, that's like a death sentence.友人でいましょうっていうのは、ああ、最悪のことですね9:10
- You know, when somebody says, I want to just be friends with you.「友人でいたい」と言われるとき9:14
- I mean, that's like seven levels of demotion.つまり、すごい降格ですね9:16
- You know, and so it does need a new word.だから新しい言葉が必要ですね9:20
- Well, let's just be best friends.では、親友でいましょう9:22
- Even that, that just sounds like, you know, ego stroking.でもそれは、ね、自分を甘やかすみたいです9:23
- That's, you know, it's awful.それは、最悪です9:25
- The thing that I found so interesting about my, my friendship with M is that it, it had some of the kind of flutters, like infatuation that I associated withMとの友情で興味深いことは、恋愛と関連した熱狂や興奮があったことです9:27
- romance.恋愛9:36
- But again, there was no sexual component.でも性的な部分はありませんでした9:37
- And I've heard many people talk about it.たくさんの人がそれについて話しているのを聞きました9:39
- I was talking to these two women last night who were saying they experienced love at first site and their friendship.昨夜、友情の中で一目惚れを経験したという二人の女性と話していました9:41
- So I was interested in how within a platonic relationship, it is actually possible to have these feelings of excitement that we've been told are only possible within a quote,プラトニックな関係でも、恋愛関係でだけ可能だと思われている興奮の感情を持つことができて、カテゴリーの区別がなくなります9:47
- unquote romantic relationship and that it, it blurs categories that are really seen as distinct.ロマンチックな関係とされていますが、実は区別されたカテゴリーをぼかしています9:59
- But if you think even about romantic relationships, so there's a whole spectrum for the emotional experience people have, some people have very passionate romantic relationships and others have more恋愛関係でも感情経験はいろいろで、情熱的な人もいれば、共生的というか家族のような人もいます10:05
- companionate ones where it does, it might feel more like a familial relationship.より家族的に感じる関係もあります10:16
- It doesn't feel kind of out of place to me that we could both be talking about really close friendships, but the, the kind of emotional experience might be a深い友情でも感情経験が違うのは自然だと思います10:20
- little bit different.少し違う10:30
- Let's change tax lightly.話題を軽く変えましょう。10:32
- We see an increase of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and in some demographic suicide in the United States and actually indeed around the world.アメリカや世界中で、孤独感、不安、抑うつ、自殺が増えています10:33
- So you can have friends and be lonely or depressed.友人がいても孤独や抑うつを感じることはあります10:44
- You know, why are we struggling?なぜ私たちは苦労しているのですか?10:48
- Why are we struggling to make the kinds of friends that we could call in darkness and say, I need you or who would be aware enough to, to, to夜中に電話できて、何か困ってることに気づいてくれる友人を作るのが難しいのはなぜですか10:50
- show up and say something's wrong?現れて『何かおかしい』って言う?11:00
- Like what, what's happening in our society today that we're struggling to make those kinds of friendships that you write about?今の社会では、あなたが書いたような深い友人関係が作りにくいのはなぜですか?11:02
- I'm thinking of the, you know, one of your first comments about how you are scrutinized for, like you have been scrutinized for being single, essentially, like, if you don'tあなたの最初のコメントを思い出すのですが、シングルでいることで批判されているというか、相手がいなければ11:12
- have this one kind of relationship, then what's going on in your life and what's wrong with you?この一つの関係性がなければ、あなたの人生で何が起きているのか、何か問題があるのかということですね11:21
- And I think there's this phenomenon of what's called compulsory couple dome, like that there's so much pressure to be coupled, which means, you know, you're putting so much effortそして「強制的なカップル文化」という現象があると思うのです。つまり、パートナーを持つことへの大きなプレッシャーがあり、多くの努力が必要になる11:26
- toward this one relationship.この一つの関係性のためにね11:37
- And we're not saying what does a good life look like?でも私たちは良い人生とは何かを問い直していないのです11:39
- A good life looks like one where you have a community, where you have a bunch of friends who you are investing in.良い人生というのは、コミュニティがあり、投資している友人たちがたくさんいる人生なのです11:42
- And I think that, you know, we get into these sort of feedback loops where we don't open ourselves up to other people and then think, okay, there's just this私たちは他者に心を開かないというフィードバックループに入ると思うのですが、その結果、友情には限界があると思ってしまう11:48
- limit to how close a friendship can be because I've never felt any closer rather than understanding that maybe what we refuse to give over to what we refuse toでも実は、私たちが明かさないこと、拒否していることこそが、友情のより深い親密さを不可能にしているのだと理解する代わりに11:57
- show makes it impossible to have the kind of closest that actually is there's potential to have within friendship.示さないことが、友情の中で本来持つ可能性のある最も深い関係を不可能にしているのです12:07
- And I, you know, recently was kind of witnessed a friend, she was going through a real crisis and she let me into her home.最近、友人が本当の危機を経験していて、彼女は私を家に招き入れてくれました12:13
- And like, I just held her as she heaved for several minutes and she's the most together person I can think of and having getting to see her in that彼女が数分間呼吸をしているのをそっと抱きしめました。彼女は私が知っている中で最も落ち着いた人なのに12:22
- messy state brought us so much closer.そんなボロボロの状態を見せてくれたことで、私たちはずっと近くなりました12:33
- And I'm not sure that many people would have the courage to let someone in at that moment and would instead wait until everything is all tidied up and then多くの人はその瞬間に誰かを受け入れる勇気を持たず、すべてが片付くまで待ってから12:35
- they can tell them what happened after the fact.何が起きたかを後から説明しようとするのだと思います12:42
- So I think that that's, you know, probably a phenomenon that's going on for a lot of people that they don't want to let people in when when there's soだから、多くの人が経験しているのは、すべてがまだ整理されていないときに人を受け入れたくないということだと思います12:44
- much that's that's not all pieced together neatly yet.そうしたことがまだすべて整理されていないからね12:51
- What's interesting as you're explaining that, you know, the thought that came to mind was its goal setting in some weird shape or form, which is when I was aあなたの説明を聞いていて思い出したのは、目標設定のことです。私が若い起業家だった頃12:55
- young entrepreneur and I just started my business, every networking, anything I did, I felt like I had to close a deal like in that in the first meeting, like,ビジネスを始めたばかりの頃、ネットワーキングをするたび、最初の会議で取引を成立させなければならないと感じていました13:03
- you know, I had to like the first phone call I needed to like get a deal.最初の電話で取引を取らなければならないと思っていたのです13:14
- And obviously I got none because I showed up guns of blazing and so much pressure that I put on myself because I thought a successful entrepreneur was somebody whoもちろん、何ももらえませんでした。強気で乗り込んで、自分に多くのプレッシャーをかけていたから。成功した起業家は13:19
- closes all the deals.すべてのディールをまとめちゃう13:28
- So I was just trying to live up to this image that I had of of what it needed to do.だからただ、そのイメージに応えようとしていただけなんです13:29
- And it wasn't until I completely changed the goal of an initial interaction.最初のやり取りの目標を完全に変えるまでね13:34
- So for example, if I have a first meeting or a first phone call with somebody new, my my only goal is to create an environment in which if I例えば新しい人と初対面の会議や初めての電話をするなら、僕の唯一の目標は13:39
- call them back, they'll take the call.彼らに電話をかけると、出てくれるような環境を作ることなんです13:48
- That's it.それだけです13:50
- That's it.それだけです13:52
- I don't care about closing a deal, getting anything just and and and I think about that really relative to what we're talking about, which is, you know, we go取引を成立させることや何かを得ることは気にしません。そして、これを今話していることと関連付けて考えるのです。つまり13:53
- on dating apps, we're set up on a date, our friends that we have the societal pressure, we have the pressure from ourselves, pressure from our parents, you know, allデートアプリを使い、デートが設定され、友人関係、社会的プレッシャー、自分からのプレッシャー、両親からのプレッシャー、すべてが14:00
- of the things that make the interactions that the goals are too much too soon, and they're not allowed to evolve and gestate.そのやり取りの目標を多すぎるし、早すぎるし、進化する時間や成熟する時間がないのです14:06
- And so what a magical thing to go on a first date and say, I hope I make a friend.だから、最初のデートに行って「友人ができればいいな」と言うのはすてきなことだと思います14:14
- You know, I think the goal setting is part of the problem.目標設定は問題の一部だと思うのです14:18
- But how we show up profoundly changes if we simply downgrade our ambition for this new relationship, taking the pressure off is what it is.しかし、この新しい関係への野心を低くするだけで、どのように現れるかは大きく変わります。プレッシャーを取り除くことなのです14:21
- Yeah, I mean, I feel like maybe I'm reacting a little bit to downgrade because of the way that people think of friendship as itself a downgrade from the real友人関係を本当の関係のダウングレードと考える人たちの考え方に、少し反応しているような気がします14:29
- thing, which is romantic.それはロマンティックな関係ですね14:38
- I don't like the term.その言い方は好きじゃありません14:39
- But what you're getting at is that we conceive of only one kind of relationship that can be container for the many things that we might be looking for inでも、あなたが言っているのは、私たちが人生で探しているであろう多くのことを入れられる唯一の種類の関係を考えているということです14:41
- our life, like somebody who is going to be there to talk to you at the end of a hard day, who knows when your plane lands, who's going to大変な一日の終わりに話を聞いてくれる人、あなたの飛行機がいつ着くか知っている人、茶を14:50
- hand you a mug of tea, and that if we could can understand that there might be other kinds of relationships like friendships could be a sibling relationship.渡してくれる人。そして、他の種類の関係、例えば友人関係や兄妹関係などがあることを理解できれば14:58
- I've also encountered a number of lifelong sibling relationships where that is the anchoring one.私はまた、その関係が中心となっている生涯の兄妹関係を見たことがあります15:07
- Then we could just be thinking about what what a loving relationship is, because otherwise it feels like there's only one form of success and that that's what you're drivingだから、愛情のある関係とは何かを考えることができます。そうしないと、成功には一つの形しかないように見えて、それが15:11
- toward.あなたが目指しているものになってしまいます15:19
- And otherwise it's a failure and this sort of success success failure dichotomy rather than starting from a place of curiosity of like, who do we want to be toそうでなければ失敗です。この成功と失敗の二項対立ではなく、好奇心から始めて、私たちは互いに15:20
- each other?どんな存在でありたいのかということね15:28
- And how might that the answer to that question change between the first time we meet a year from now, 10 years from now, and it might be we don'tそしてその答えが、今、1年後、10年後でどう変わるかもしれません。もしかしたら15:29
- want to be anything to each other.互いに何の関係でもあることを望んでいないかもしれません15:37
- Like we never clicked, whatever.最初からウマが合わなかった、みたいな。15:38
- But I think the like the impulse toward curiosity could solve a lot of problems here rather than trying to box people in.しかし、人々を箱に入れようとするのではなく、好奇心への衝動がここで多くの問題を解決することができると思います15:40
- There's an there's an eerily and uncomfortable similarity here when you talk about the definition of success of a relationship, which is even the definition of success of a career関係の成功の定義について話すときに、キャリアの成功の定義さえも、奇妙で不快な類似性があります15:50
- or a life, which for too many years was associated almost entirely with rank or money.または人生の成功の定義は、長年にわたってランクやお金とほぼ完全に関連付けられていました15:57
- And we're having that conversation now.そして、今はその会話をしています16:04
- COVID, I think, was a catalyst, but that conversation was already beginning of what are the other definitions of success?COVIDは触媒だったと思いますが、その会話は成功の他の定義は何かという話で既に始まっていました16:06
- And I may want to pursue a different kind of success.そして、私は異なる種類の成功を追求したいかもしれません16:13
- You know, my parents may still put pressure on me to make more money by a house, but I am exploring a different definition of success that works for me.両親はもっとお金を稼いで家を買うようにプレッシャーをかけるかもしれませんが、私は自分に合う成功の異なる定義を探索しています16:16
- And I think that's where your work lies.そしてそれがあなたの仕事の場所だと思います16:23
- It's I think it's very contemporary that we're exploring different expectations and different definitions of what is required of a good life.良い人生に必要とされることの異なる期待と異なる定義を探索しているのは、非常に現代的だと思います16:26
- And this different definition, these new definitions of what success in relationship looks like, which is it's not always, you know, the metaphor carrying over money, you know, marriage, youそしてこの異なる定義、関係における成功の新しい定義は、常にお金やお金のメタファー、結婚、16:32
- know, tradition.伝統ではないのです16:44
- I find very interesting.非常に興味深いと思います16:46
- And I wonder I wonder these challenging of all these definitions of what's expected of our lives from our careers, our friendships, our romances.そしてキャリア、友人関係、ロマンティック関係から私たちの人生に期待される定義のすべてに対するこの挑戦に疑問を持ちます16:47
- I wonder what the common thread is that we're pushing against all of these definitions.これらすべての定義に対抗してる共通点って何だろう。16:57
- I think that the common thread here is intentionality and that we have been put on a kind of conveyor belt in different areas of life where we've been told共通点は意図性だと思うんです。人生のいろんな領域でコンベアベルトに乗せられてきた。17:04
- that there is one type of success and that a lot of people, you know, hit a point where they're like, I've tried this and it's not working or I'm成功は1つのタイプだけだって言われてきて、多くの人はあるポイントで「これやってみたけどうまくいかない」って感じる。17:13
- starting to question for the first time the thing that I've been told to do and that if you instead, you know, look at the ladder you're climbing without having初めて自分にやらされてきたことに疑問を持ち始める。その代わりもし登ってるはしごをよく見もしずに。17:22
