Why does life sometimes feel like it's constantly accelerating? We want to build careers, relationships, friendships, experiences and futures, often while feeling that everyone around us is moving just as quickly. But is faster actually better? When does speed create excitement, progress and opportunity, and when do we move so quickly that we stop noticing where we're going? Join Edward, a geological engineer and motorsport enthusiast, live from Manchester, for a discussion about the different speeds at which we move through life, using the extraordinary world of motorsport as an unexpected backdrop.

From Formula 1 and MotoGP to the Isle of Man TT, we'll look at people and machines built to move fast and use them to think about something much closer to home: our own relationship with speed. Why are humans so attracted to going faster? Do different stages of life require different speeds? When should we push harder, and when is slowing down actually the smarter move? You absolutely don't need to know (or care!) about motorsport to join; Edward will introduce the stories and examples you need as we go. Come ready to talk about careers, relationships, ageing, ambition and the pressure to keep moving forward, and perhaps reconsider whether the fastest route through life is always the best one.

为什么生活有时候感觉就像在持续加速？我们想拼事业、谈恋爱、交朋友、攒经历、奔未来，而且常常觉得身边所有人都在以同样的速度狂飙。但快真的就更好吗？速度在什么时候能带来兴奋感、进步和机遇，又在什么时候会让我们快到根本注意不到自己要去哪儿？快来曼彻斯特现场连线地质工程师兼赛车运动爱好者 Edward，以酷炫的赛车运动为背景，一起聊聊我们在生活中穿梭的不同速度。

从 F1 到 MotoGP，再到曼岛 TT，我们将剖析那些为了极速而生的勇士和机器，并以此来反思一个与我们切身相关的话题：我们自己与速度的关系。为什么人类总是对追求更快如此着迷？人生的不同阶段需要不同的速度吗？什么时候该加大马力，什么时候减速反而才是更聪明的手段？你完全不需要了解（甚至不需要关心！）赛车运动就能加入；Edward 会在活动中介绍你所需要的所有故事和案例。带上你对职业发展、人际关系、衰老、野心以及不断向前推进的压力的思考来聊聊吧，或许你会重新审视，人生中最快的路线到底是不是最好的那一条。
