2020-12-14 'If that's the case, it's better to use "young" as an excuse, as it will be more popular with the audience' [長年日記]

I often have watched variety shows featuring so-called "young talents," such as programmers in their teens and entrepreneurs in 20s.

I don't know about "entrepreneurs", but I can understand most of what "programmers" do.

What I feel uncomfortable about the way MCs (Master of Ceremony) conduct these programs is that they say,

"You are young, so you can do it"

-----

This is quite a "rude" statement.

It doesn't mean we can do it because we are young, and it doesn't mean we can't do it if we are seniors.

In short,

"The people who don't do it, just don't do it"

To be honest, I am uncomfortable with the attitude of justifying one's "not doing" by creating a special category of "young people" for it.

For example, "programming" is difficult, depressing, and hard, but I don't think it's impossible.

At least, I believe that we can manage better than English.

Because no matter how many times you make a mistake in the code, if you keep correcting it, it will eventually start working.

(When I told that, my wife told me, "English is much easier than programming")

-----

When I was complaining to my junior daughter about this, she said, "You don't understand, Dad".

'Most people in the world don't try. But they don't want to accept that reality"

'If that's the case, it's better to use "young" as an excuse, as it will be more popular with the audience'

'Of course, the MC must be 'well aware' of such things'
