Chapter 623: Chapter 575: Psychological Issues? Or Just Too Full—Get to Work with Me for Two Days and All Your Problems Will Be Gone!Mo Kai felt fortunate to have smoothly passed the sudden knowledge check earlier, and now he was nodding repeatedly. He genuinely believed that this senior brother, who had just courageously participated in the master’s exam, indeed had extraordinary knowledge accumulation.
However, the method Nan Zhubin mentioned, which involves using busyness to improve one’s inner state, is generally only applicable to the level of ‘psychological issues’. More severe mental illnesses and psychiatric disorders involve deeper elements, possibly even physiological changes, which are not as easily resolved.
And even at the level of ‘psychological issues’, it is rare for busy work to ‘heal’ one effectively.
“More likely, it just temporarily suppresses the problem, which will resurface after the work is done,” Nan Zhubin said. “It might even bring new issues like ‘physical and mental exhaustion’ or ‘avoidant coping’ at that time.”
“After all, mental discomfort is itself a kind of bodily warning, a subconscious cry for help.”
“Just wait, after the New Year, there will be a surge in consultations.”
This is not only Nan Zhubin’s personal deduction but also the work experience accumulated over previous years.
Mo Kai quietly noted down what Nan Zhubin said, even taking out a notebook to write something.
“Next time I encounter such opinions online, I can use your words to debate those people…”
Nan Zhubin chuckled softly, “You’ll definitely fail. They probably won’t understand your academic explanations. Even though what I just told you has been proven in papers, they wouldn’t bother to look at them. If they did, they still wouldn’t understand.”
Heading towards the tea room, intent on getting a second cup of coffee: “They would likely claim they or someone they know had a problem, and ‘got busy’ and then they were ‘cured’—using that to support their belief as if there’s a single solution to all problems of the world.”
Hasty generalizations are one feature of online disputes that shouldn’t be missed.
…
There wasn’t much work at the company, allowing Nan Zhubin and other consultants a short break.
But things were different in the university research groups.
By the time one reaches the graduate level, standard vacations basically don’t apply to them anymore.
Graduate courses are few. But sometimes, graduates even hope the school would schedule a few compulsory classes during the week to rescue them from their supervisors.
Of course, Bai Qinghua’s research group isn’t that harsh. Within the group, he is still a teacher rather than a boss.
But once in a high-level group mentored by someone like Bai Qinghua, even the students themselves won’t allow themselves to indulge in so-called campus life.
When Nan Zhubin had some free time, he could always find senior mentors to help him with learning data analysis or mastering experimental instrument operations in the research group.ted cap for Nan Zhubin to wear.
The cap was attached with several wires, and Senior Brother Haoyun explained, “This is an EEG device; I’ll need to use it to record your brainwaves later, essentially reflecting your thought activity level.”
Using Nan Zhubin in the experiment also served to help him familiarize himself with the experimental equipment operations.
The junior sister sitting to the side had been staring at Nan Zhubin without moving. On hearing Senior Brother Haoyun’s words, she showed an expression of ‘finally getting to do this’ and raised her hand to put the EEG cap on Nan Zhubin’s head.
Nan Zhubin could feel his hair being moved, while watching Senior Brother Haoyun plug the wires from the cap into the main device nearby, “Senior brother, will this read my brainwaves?”
Senior Brother shook his head, “We still need to apply a special gel on your scalp to reduce resistance—it could get rather messy, but don’t worry, there’s a special cleaning room nearby to wash your hair.”
It was known beforehand that the experiment might become quite chaotic, but Nan Zhubin didn’t nod to express understanding, as his head was still being manipulated.
Senior Brother Haoyun quickly commanded again, “Junior sister, you apply the gel on Zhuren!”
Nan Zhubin blinked.
Why does it sound a bit off?
He saw the junior sister fetch a plastic container from the fridge and insert a syringe to draw some milky-white viscous substance.
The junior sister then carefully inserted the syringe through the mesh gaps of the EEG cap and slowly pushed the plunger.
Nan Zhubin suddenly felt a coolness on his scalp, steadily growing colder, colder…
“Senior brother, it seems to be dripping down to my neck,” Nan Zhubin suddenly reminded.
Senior Brother Haoyun quickly stopped the junior sister, “Oh dear, why did you get Zhuren’s head all covered! Stop, no need for so much gel! Clean the excess gel from Zhuren’s head first!”
The junior sister immediately fumbled awkwardly.
“She’s an undergrad, and it’s also her first time doing experiments, so her handling is not very skilled,” Senior Brother Haoyun apologized with a smile to Nan Zhubin.
Then he turned his head, glanced at the computer screen, and suddenly exclaimed, “Wow, junior brother, your waves are really beautiful!”
Nan Zhubin twitched the corners of his mouth.
