I cannot say much about the Supreme Court's decision on marital separation.

Because I recognize a name as an "object identifier".

This is because I believe that everyone should be able to change both their "last name" and their "first name" to any identifier they want, of their own free will, at the age of legal majority (18).

I think the closest way to think about this is the "self-discriminating function" of trademarks.

From a system engineer's point of view, the "family register" is a very well-designed system.

From the point of view of the controller (state power), it is very convenient to be able to manage the individual as a component in the box (structure) of the family.

As long as there is a framework of the family, the roles of patriarch, protector, and protected are created, and even if left alone, the individual will be managed within this framework.

# At the same time, we are creating harm by generating abuse, sexual violence and domestic violence.

The biggest advantage of this system is tax payment. It is a very convenient system because it allows you to roughly calculate the total amount of tax payments in units of households.

If you think about the fact that students are grouped into "classes" until high school, it is easy to understand.

----------

If you're asking, "Well, how do we manage individuals? I can answer that "My Number Card" already exists.

Younger people may not know this, but the "My Number Card," which exists today as a matter of course, is a system that was called the "Total National ID Number System" until about 2000 A.D. Every time the government proposed this system, it was crushed by the people.

Of course, I was on the side of the "crushers" -- I believed that if the state had such system, the world of George Orwell's "1984" could appear easily.

But, you know, in the end, the crimes have been identified by surveillance cameras and located by GPS phones. And nobody doesn't say anything about them.

On the contrary, those images are usually broadcasted on the news, aren't they?

At the end of the day, we have chosen a "safe society with mutual monitoring of crime" over "invasion of personal privacy.

I'm sure we've been given plenty of time to complain.

Let's be more specific.

All of the neighborhood and community associations that filed lawsuits against Google Maps Street View have withdrawn their lawsuits.

This fact alone is sufficient.

This is a bit off topic.

We have voluntarily accepted to be "controlled by the state with numbers".

Then, we should be managed by numbers, as the state expects.

If the system is managed by numbers, we don't need for households, or even for surnames and first names (although they will remain in a formal sense).

If it used to take several days to mobilize a large number of government workers to look up a family register, today's computer system would complete the job in seconds.

If the computer manages the individual, it will undoubtedly be less expensive, faster to process, and reduce the dynamic of labor costs.

If the state tries to interfere with the computer, the evidence will remain, and if it tries to erase the evidence, the evidence of the erasing process will remain.

Arbitrary intervention by the state would also be more difficult and troublesome than ever before (though not impossible, if the state power gets serious).

-----

So, back to the subject at hand, I think that

"Why are the courts and the Diet in such a mess over the "handling of identifiers"?"

Separate surnames for married couples? -- On the contrary, why don't we just use "my number" to accept marriage registrations?

The right to change one's name? -- After termination of parental rights, it is my right to decide my own name, isn't it?

Forcing the legislature (Diet) and the courts to make decisions for each other? -- That's just because you have some kind of illusion about the "symbol" that is your name.

That's what I usually think about.

-----

On the other hand, I know that there are probably no people who would agree with such a thorough "name = symbol" approach.

In fact, I think there are many people who are reading this diary today and cannot understand my idea.

That's why I keep my mouth shut (just writting).
