_

When I read a newspaper article titled "The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will not file criminal charges against the former Unification Church for facilitating adoptions," I was so outraged that I almost lost control of myself, but

"First of all, calm down, me.

-----

- Assessing the situation and

- Checking the background.

- Reading the rationale (legal text).

- constructing a logic that makes sense (regardless of whether the case is won or lost, litigation has the effect of revealing the factual background, etc.).

Then I can begin the attack in earnest.

------

Emotional attacks do not work on the executive branch -- in my experience, especially the bureaucracy that is the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.


2023-02-02 So today, when I went to the university to take a course, I was asked many questions by international students about this "method of measuring traffic volume using a smartphone". [長年日記]

After going through the above process, I completed my homework report and submitted it that day.

The deadline is in mid-February, but I had to take an incentive leave at that time, so I finished it ahead of schedule.

So today, when I went to the university to take a course, I was asked many questions by international students about this "method of measuring traffic volume using a smartphone".

That's why I added the English lines to this page on the fly today (I just put it into a translation engine).

-----

The problem is that the interface of this application is in Japanese.

I'm sure there are other apps with similar functions in English if they look for, but after thinking about it, I had a lot of trouble finding this one.

So I though of making my own.

Well, this time I was lucky and was able to find a suitable application.

I don't know if they can find an English app, or if they will use this Japanese app.

However, I would like to support these international students who are trying their best to acquire Japanese, which has been and will continue to be completely useless as an international language, as much as possible.


2023-02-03 "I will not say anything that contradicts the claims of my master (e.g. the prime minister), no matter what I think" [長年日記]

A secretary (55) from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) said on the evening of March 3, "I don't even want to look at sexual minorities (LGBT, etc.) and same-sex marriagem", and "I would also hate it if I lived next door".

"Not again"

I thought that.

-----

There are two issues.

(1) It is difficult for us old geezers and old ladies to understand sexual minorities (e.g. LGBT) and same-sex marriage, as we have not been used to such things.

So if you can't understand it by feel, then you have to gain knowledge and understanding from news, documentaries, and content (ranging from comics to papers).

Over a long period of time, by continuing to study, even gradually, you can change the sensibilities (including "prejudices") that you have.

I (Ebata) think I did it (only in this case).

Conversely, those who don't do it and continue to cling to their own sensibilities -- they are not studying.

-----

I do not believe that anyone should have to learn the hard way.

However,

"Secretary to the Prime Minister of Japan"

is one of those who must continue to study tirelessly.

Hence, his continued "ignorance" is "harmful".

-----

(2) He spoke his mind on the premise of "off the record," but to be honest, I thought he was a bit naive.

Even I, a just businessman, do not believe in "off the record".

For example, we do not write the truth in questionnaires conducted by the company.

As an example, at JMI (periodic mental health checkup), I answer 'yes' to the question 'I can hear voices from the universe' every time.

Criticism of company policy is out of the question -- well, I'm glad to say that many of the company's policies are relatively acceptable to me.

----

He was exposed to his own feelings of "I don't even like to look at them and I would still hate it if I lived next door", through my lack of study. To tell you the truth, I had to think,

"He was a little boy"

-----

"I will not say anything that contradicts the claims of my master (e.g. the prime minister), no matter what I think"

This is the golden rule for businessmen.


2023-02-04 "A large company is sued by a start-up venture for technology theft, but fights off the venture's patent rights, then its trademark rights, and finally forces the venture into bankruptcy" [長年日記]

I just went downstairs to the living room and my wife was watching a drama.

The content seemed to be a program for students preparing for the bar exam.

In that scene, the students were solving a case problem: "The wife of a husband who fell to his death at a job site with inadequate safety management takes the company to court.

The students seemed to be discussing the issue from the perspective of 'how to pursue responsibility against the company and win the case.

Well, it's a drama.

-----

I, for a time, attended a private law seminar at my own expense.

Each time I was asked to solve a case study there, the content was very practical.

The setting is the opposite of the above drama.

For example,

"How to dismiss a lawsuit by the wife of a husband who fell to his death at a site with inadequate safety controls"

It was like, "Discuss this from the perspective of a 'lawyer hired by the company'.

In addition to this, I remember the following case.

"A large company is sued by a start-up venture for technology theft, but fights off the venture's patent rights, then its trademark rights, and finally forces the venture into bankruptcy"

-----

In this law seminar, I was taught that the job of a defense lawyer is to "protect and maximize the interests of the client," not to "achieve justice.

(Incidentally, this law seminar is not special, but this is what the study of practical application of law is generally like.)

-----

"Knowledge is power" is not just a philosophy. It is extremely realistic.

I feel comfortable, at least, in paraphrasing "Knowledge is violence.

For example, to me, knowing how the law operates is "violence".

Being able to set up a simulation program is also "violence," and being able to use trigonometric functions as an everyday tool is probably "violence".

In addition, I think that "English", "Sociality", and "athletic ability" are also "violence" -- I am painfully aware of this one as a victim.


2023-02-05 "Under the Table" can be implemented in the time it takes to have a drink while complaining to your colleagues, "My boss is an idiot..." [長年日記]

As noted above, it is very difficult to implement an idea if you have a different idea than your own boss.

This is because the company organization has a superordinate form of command.

The proper approach is to "persuade the boss," but this rarely succeeds, and even if it does, the cost (time and effort) becomes enormous.

That is why I am implementing "Under the Table(*)".

(*) The most commonly used word is "bribe," but here it means "in secret".

So-called "late-night researchers" or "weekend researchers.

I am a member of an organization, but late at night and on weekends, I am an individual who has nothing to do with the organization (or so I think).

In my daily life, I don't watch movies, baseball, soccer, or dramas on TV, and I spend most weekends and long vacations for "under the table".

If you say, "You're spending all your money on columns and diaries", I can't be helped.

-----

Well, in my case, it may only be possible because of the "scope of research I can personally perform".

This may be difficult to do in cases such as projects that involve huge amounts of money and human resources.

Still, I think you can do a desk study (simulation) and wait with bated breath for the chance to bring it to the surface.

-----

"Under the Table" can be implemented in the time it takes to have a drink while complaining to your colleagues, "My boss is an idiot..."

However, if you seriously try this, your network of contacts in the organization will be in tatters, your boss's value of yours will be to the bottom, and your career will be doomed.

Excessive doing of this at home can also lead to family breakdown and divorce.

If you are hoping to get married, your marriage may be far away.

When you think about it -- "activating 'under the table' depending on the situation" might be about right.


2023-02-06 -- Schrodinger's parents [長年日記]

In the tree burial service here, a hole about 15 cm in diameter and 60 cm deep was dug and the remains were placed in the hole.

Since my father died first, then my mother, the plan was to place my father's remains first, and then my mother's on top of his.

However, the person in charge had removed the markings on the urn, and just before the bones were delivered, it was impossible to tell which remains were which.

My sister and I had a conversation for about five seconds, saying, 'This is that,' and 'Yes, I agree that", and we decided which is which on the spot.

It is currently unknown in which order the bones were delivered and will remain unknown.

That is why I call this cemetery of my father and mother as follows,

-- Schrodinger's parents


2023-02-07 "Mr. Ebata's small talk '94 'The Tragedy of Shibuya Station'" [長年日記]

The other day, my daughter apparently did something similar to what I did.

"Mr. Ebata's small talk '94 'The Tragedy of Shibuya Station'"

"We are a parent and a child..."

I realize that.

-----

However, in my daughter's case, it seems that "people around her helped her and were kind to her," and in summary, she was able to "come in contact with the kindness of people in the city".

The 'results' are definitely different from my case.

I'm not convinced of that.


2023-02-08 "I will continue to cheer myself forever" [長年日記]

My column, published yesterday, was the first one I published in my life.

I put this out to a mailing list of my peers in the company, and after receiving rave reviews from my peers -- I was in a good mood.

And then, I've been writing ever since.

In other words, 'getting on a roll' or 'feeling good' can be a turning point in one's life.

-----

Of course, this kind of thing (being praised by others) does not last continuously.

Eventually, they will stop being acclaimed and even criticized.

Then you get depressed -- everyone does.

-----

This phenomenon is most noticeable in secondary novels.

As far as I know, only 1-2% of all second novels are completed to the end.

There are so many people who give up creating in the middle of the process.

Of course, the secondary creators are 'self-satisfied', 'for their own amusement', and done 'for free'.

I think it is "harsh" -- or even "unfair" and "impolite" -- for others (readers) to criticize this.

Still, I do feel "sorry for the work" if you start a story with grand foreshadowing and never retrieve it or complete it.

-----

They can't keep writing if they don't get cheesed off -- I 'support' this sentiment.

But, after all, strangers are strangers. Strangers are freaks.

There are few (or rather, "no") people who will keep you constantly cheer for you.

Hence,

"I will continue to cheer myself forever"

is very important for me.

-----

(The following is an excerpt from "Japan's highest blockchain was that system that boasts of being the world's longest.)

Ebata: "It doesn't matter. I just want my columns to reach just one reader."

Junior: "What is that? I've never heard that before. That's the first time I've heard such a meaningful word. Who is the one person to whom you want to convey your "feelings"?"

Ebata: "It's me"

Juniors: "What?"

Ebata: "So, "It is me". I like to reread my columns. Every time I reread it, I think, 'I was thinking such great things at that time,' or 'Oh, I like this way of thinking, it fits well, I like this person.


2023-02-09 It is nice to be able to hear the audio wherever I carry the radio (for example, I am programming in my study on the 2nd floor while "listening" to the NHK special). [長年日記]

The Ebata family uses an FM transmitter + radio system to bring the TV sound to their hands.

Two of the above "bumper radios" are now in operation in the Ebata household.

However, the following, fixed station FM transmitters (except for in-vehicle use) do not appear to be available for sale.

Well, the Ebata family still has two of them in reserve, so we are fine (we recently retrieved one from my parents' house).

-----

I recently saw a news story about a study that found that the inability to recognize speech sounds can lead to progressive cognitive impairment.

Early wearing of "hearing aids" was recommended, but I think this kind of radio-based system is also effective.

It is nice to be able to hear the audio wherever I carry the radio (for example, I am programming in my study on the 2nd floor while "listening" to the NHK special).

-----

However, such products seem to be sold quite well, so there may be no need to force the creation of such a system.

However, I think it is quite "good" to sell only a "transmitter (FM transmitter)" and any radio can be used with it, but perhaps the integrated type is better suited to the needs of the elderly.

-----

I am also creative with my radio batteries.

I am taking various chiseled energy-saving measures, such as making it work with only two batteries.


2023-02-10 I (Tomoichi) will wear jeans, sneakers and prayer beads. [長年日記]

I frequently upload short programs on my blog because I don't know how to use the API even after reading the manual.

I have no idea what I'm doing by reading these manuals, and the sample programs are out of sync with what I want to do.

So, as shown in the following

In reality, I try to keep a small code that I have written and worked with.

Whether it is useful to others is secondary.

If I had to give a name to this method, it might be called "concrete example-based.

Aside from that.

-----

In invitations to events, you may see the phrase, "Please attend in plain clothes.

If you ask me, this is hospitality at its worst.

In other words, he/she is simply saying, 'Please don't wear formal wear,' and you are forced to judge the level of casual wear. This is an extremely irresponsible request.

Guests (invitees) may be embarrassed at the venue because of the wrong level of casualness -- but I rarely see a host (organizer) who takes such considerations into account.

-----

I recently sent out information about the event laying their ashes to rest for my father and mother.

In it, I have defined the dress code precisely in the following sentence.

I hope you will consider stopping by in plain clothes if it is convenient for you.

I (Tomoichi) will wear jeans, sneakers and prayer beads.

In this way, the host can reduce the burden on the guests by providing them with a specific dress code for themselves.

It is "concrete example-based".

-----

In the future, I will email the URL of this blog to hosts who do not provide specific examples of "plain clothes".


2023-02-11 I knew that prescription drugs were great. [長年日記]

- Feels tired throughout the day

- Wake up at night with a cough.

- Phlegm in throat. Pain when cutting phlegm.

- Violent chills before going to bed at night.

- Sweating profusely at night

- Water is consumed regularly.

- Over-the-counter medications were ingested "Kaigen" and "Contac EX", but no improvement was seen

-----

I went to the clinic today after making the note.

I thought it might be corona or influenza, but since my fever was 36.6 degrees, I thought it could be neither.

Still, I was treated as a fever patient and made to wait outside the examination room -- it was cold in the hallway with the windows left open.

-----

I got the medicine and took it immediately.

An hour later, I was in a state of fatigue where I could not move a finger, but now I am able to write this sentence (I still have the fatigue).

I knew that prescription drugs were great.


2023-02-12 However, I leave this diary to remember that I am now 'weak and unable to do anything about this situation', which is my default. [長年日記]

I think I have been very busy since the second half of this year.

Still, I managed to get by, so I thought, 'I guess I can get by'.

However, things have not been going as planned due to a series of dental pain, back pain, and general fatigue caused by a cold that has been occurring in rapid succession for the past two weeks.

I have often experienced the "I can't perform" → "I can't get the work done" → "I'm in a hurry" phase. However Now the situation is as follows.

'I get nauseous when I try to think about anything'

When this happens, there is nothing more that can be done.

In situations like this, when I look down on my normal,

"What in the world was I working so hard every day for?"

This is the feeling I have now

-----

Maybe when I recover from this condition, I will start talking about myself and others as if I have forgotten all this.

However, I leave this diary to remember that I am now 'weak and unable to do anything about this situation', which is my default.

To remind myself once again that I will never make me a person who only says, "Hang in there," to people who have been affected by the disaster, who have been afflicted, who are broken, exhausted, and unable to stand up.


2023-02-13 Currently I am part of three projects and all three project leaders are women. [長年日記]

Currently I am part of three projects and all three project leaders are women.

I realize that now.

Of course, they are all younger than me -- or rather, I am simply a "senior".

I don't have a problem with my work, or rather, I can't recognize a problem.

The possibility that I am being unfairly given careful consideration -- no, I don't think so.

I have absolutely no discretionary authority over personnel matters.

-----

By the way, I am not interested in the gender or age of the leader, as long as they make me feel good about working for them. I don't mind being directed by a machine (AI?).


2023-02-14 It is common for people to say, "What I consider to be the best thing for me is out of the question for others". [長年日記]

I recently reviewed the movies "Hakkoudasan" and "Nihyaku san Kochi" and marveled at what a great movie they are.

The power of the analog live action, as well as the blood-curdling performances of the exhausted actors and extras, probably under the poor conditions of the location, are honestly 'scary'.

I wonder if the reason why movies these days are not as interesting as they used to be is because of the digitalization of images.

-- is one hypothesis.

However, I have another hypothesis.

It is, 'I am simply brainwashed by the images I am familiar with from my youth.

-----

There was a celebrity who said, "007 other than Shon Connery is scum," but I think "Roger Moore's 007" is more interesting.

Also, when I went back home, my father tried to show me halid films from the 1950s and 1960s, but I never found them interesting.

"The memories (of films) imprinted on a person, especially during his or her impressionable years, become the standard of value thereafter", in other words, "slip-in".

It is common for people to say, "What I consider to be the best thing for me is out of the question for others".

-----

I don't know if my grandchildren will exist 20 years from now -- but I get nervous thinking about what they will think of "Steins;Gate" when I show it to them.

If my grandson says 'that's great' I will probably give him a lot of New Year's money.


2023-02-15 For example, when I was in my 20s, people said I was stupid or an idiot, but when I do it now, they say 'You are a brilliant person!" [長年日記]

I have always said, 'I hate people who hang their life theories on others,' so basically, I don't do that.

Even if there is a person in front of me who is certain to fail in the future, I would not advise him.

"Keep smiling and watch that guy sink"

That is my stance.

And, well, I have "sunk" many times in that way, and I am glad that I did.

Because I believe that I have the 'right to fail.

Even my own children, I take the same stance -- except when it comes to their lives and property.

-----

So, for the most part, I don't talk to my daughters about it, but they do ask me for advice (mainly my seior daughter).

To summarize her consultation,

"I want to work well with multiple perspectives"

Ebata: "Don't worry. Just getting older will give you a 'multifaceted perspective' even if you leave it alone. After all, we all are living in vain.

She: "Right now, I want to be 'so'."

Ebata: I don't know it is easy. Because 'young' is destined to be 'licked' regardless of ability.

She:"Isn't ability appreciated?"

Ebata: "Ability is difficult to evaluate. For example, when I was in my 20s, people said I was stupid or an idiot, but when I do it now, they say 'You are a brilliant person!"

She:"..."

Ebata: "So, I think it's good that you should just 'let other people's evaluations slide".

-----

'The most ridiculous thing you can do is stop yourself from doing what you want to do because of the opinions of others.'

Many people said that, however, I am afraid that they don't say

"You don't realize it until the last inning of your life"


2023-02-17 To see this and still have the courage to press the doorbell of the Ebata family is something to look up to. [長年日記]

When the doorbell rang this morning, I thought it might be a delivery, so I answered the doorbell on the second floor to respond and heard a strange first voice that put me on alert at once.

"Hello. My name is XX."

(Silence lasts 5 seconds)

"It's gotten a little warmer lately, and..."

The moment I said that.

I said, "I'm sorry," and hung up the doorbell.

-----

This method can also be used for sales calls.

"Are you Mr. Ebata? May I interrupt you?"

"Yes"

"Would you have a time to talk?"

"No. I am busy to death"

With this response, I will not receive a second call.

-----

It is important to 'terminate the conversation unilaterally without listening anything'

A person who is unilaterally intervened on his or her own time has the right to terminate such intervention unconditionally.

-----

Come to think of it, I have these things posted around my house.

To see this and still have the courage to press the doorbell of the Ebata family is something to look up to.


2023-02-18 I would like to give them a big pat on the back with saying "How wonderful you could stop the system at the moment!". However, could all we not share the same emotion? [長年日記]

"A real-time checking program consisting of hundreds of sensor data and their combination automatically shut down the engine ignition before the rocket lifted off"

If one has a proper understanding of the scientific process, one would say,

"That is not generally called a 'failure'"

If I call this a "failure" at the company I work for, I will be almost 100% treated as "crank".

Or I feel like I'm going to get yelled at by executives -- "If you've got time for using the word, get me an estimate of the work, manpower, and time needed!

-----

Currently, the system monitoring logs and the monitoring program should be being checked at a furious pace.

This can be expected to increase the safety of the next launch by one or more steps.

-----

As an engineer involved in a system, I can say that the last minute system shutdown looks like a "rare and spectacular success story.

I would like to give them a big pat on the back with saying "How wonderful you could stop the system at the moment!". However, could all we not share the same emotion?


2023-02-19 However, I am struck by the struggle of the protagonists who continue to search for "loopholes in the rules of the space-time world" that I had never thought of by "going behind" and "combining" those strict rules. [長年日記]

Both "Summertime Render" and "Steinsgate" are, to put it bluntly, science fiction with ridiculous settings.

Still, I'm still fascinated by these two pieces for a reason.

"Strict space-time rules imposed on the entire story"

That's because of its setting.

Against beings who can control space-time at will, we, who are bound in three-dimensional space, must surely be doomed to defeat.

However, I am struck by the struggle of the protagonists who continue to search for "loopholes in the rules of the space-time world" that I had never thought of by "going behind" and "combining" those strict rules.

I'm so happy to be able to amaze with saying "I didn't know there was such a way to do that!"

-----

I have a favor to ask of you all (Warning: jump to Youtube)

Can I get a copy of this Shinpei Ajiro's notes? (Warning: jump to Youtube).

If the comic is mentioned, I will buy it.

Thank you for your cooperation.


2023-02-20 "They felt so happy that they wanted to call out to all the people on the street and share this happiness with them" [長年日記]

I recently took a trip to Kanazawa with my family.

The whole family can no longer gather together on rare occasions.

This trip may be the final one, but that's okay.

-----

Since we are all adults now, there are no longer any restrictions on the stories we can tell in the pub.

I heard some naked stories about how to use matching apps.

Well, I just sat back and listened while drinking my non-alcoholic beer (I was sick and my throat was crushed).

-----

This is when the topic turned to a story about 'Have you ever been dazzlingly happy in your life?'

I told them that I sometimes felt happy when I was in graduate school continuing my own favorite research, however,

My wife and senior daughter chose "love affair" only and said,

"They felt so happy that they wanted to call out to all the people on the street and share this happiness with them"

They both said, 'Yes! Yes!!!' ' and they were so excited, so it seems to be an objective fact.

My junior daughter seemed to be "I don't really understand," and I didn't understand at all either.

-----

And then I suddenly remembered this

If a cult is something that makes them 'so happy that they want to call out to all the people on the street and share this happiness with them', then maybe it's worth it....

For a moment, I almost thought that, but I immediately withdrew the idea.

I felt like I was 'tarnishing' the precious memories of my wife and senior daughter.

-----

The next time someone on the street asks me, 'Are you happy right now?'

"I'll punch him/her in the face in no time"

I have come to think that.


2023-02-21 My work history seems to be able to be listed under "anger" instead of "results". [長年日記]

In March, I have been instructed by my supervisor to have three lecture sessions for university students.

This also seems to be a necessary requirement for course credit.

And now, I'm working on converting the Japanese of the business history into English as a preparation for that.

"Every time I remember the old days, my anger comes back"

"I remember that time when they made me work on a presentation with a crazy schedule"

"I remember that "The bastard (researcher) in that country has not moved a millimeter, and yet he erased my name from the research report and replaced it with his own name"

e.t.c

-----

My work history seems to be able to be listed under "anger" instead of "results".


2023-02-22 So, today, for the first time in about 40 years, I have had a "buzz cut". [長年日記]

The only time I go to the barber is -- "when I feel my head of hair is annoying".

The phase of "caring about appearance" has long since ended.

My current hair style standard is 'short to the limit allowed for working people'.

The objective is to reduce headcount time and costs.

-----

"Keep it as short as possible. Combed as much as possible"

I have been saying this for almost 10 years, but there are not many barbers who can give me the don't-short hair I want.

Especially female barbers often don't seem to match my need for a 'buzz off'.

This is not a difference in values between men and women regarding barbering, but rather a mismatch with female barbers who have to deal with "people who do not value barbering even a millimeter".

The correct answer is 'take care of yourself,' but unfortunately, hairdressing and illness are two of the most difficult things to self-implement.

That is why I have chosen to use "crew cut" for the past few years.

But even that "crew cut" has a number of parameters that I have to choose from.

For example, "fir," "kariage," "top," "side," "collar," etc., are nothing short of annoying.

-----

Looking back on it now, I feel like, "I didn't even notice what was right in front of me".

There is, isn't there? The ultimate, best hair style with "zero" request parameters, and a win-win situation for both me and the barber.

It is "buzz cut".

It was quick.

It was over in a matter of minutes.

The work took 4 minutes at the station barber shop.

The barber showed me a mirror and said, 'Is this okay?' but is it possible to recover a "buzz cut"?

-----

So, today, for the first time in about 40 years, I have had a "buzz cut".

I had sent a picture of it on the family social networking site right after the haircut so that the family wouldn't be giddy, but the wife didn't see the picture -- she was speechless.

Wife: "Do you like that?"

Ebata: "Well, I'm glad I won't have to go to the barber for almost six months now.

Wife: "You are not going to keep the 'buzz cut' . That's a relief."

-----

Incidentally, as for "buzz cut", when I was in junior high school, I almost caused an incident (using my authority as president of the student council) that would have involved the entire school.

The advisor of the student council, who was aware of my movements, stopped me just before I left. Even now, I still feel ashamed and regretful.

I would like to discuss this later.

Since yesterday, every time I stand in front of the mirror, I am surprised to see former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo appear.

But this could be an chance.

Cosplay..., cosplay sounds good!

Ebata: "I want to buy reading glasses with round glasses and a military uniform. I will apply for a special budget."

Wife: "Rejected."


2023-02-24 "How to have students who do not know programming practice the AI calculation process in a "classroom" setting, using "hand calculations" and "calculation paper" [長年日記]

In March, I have been instructed by my supervisor to have three lecture sessions for university students.

I had a variety of ideas, but I thought, well, "'AI' would be popular these days," I replied to the professor.

Now, the "preparation for lectures" is giving me a headache.

-----

I think I can keep speaking bullshit English for about an hour of the lecture.

That training was completed 20 years ago.

The problem is "practice problems".

AI is basically 'violent forced computation' using computer programs.

"How to have students who do not know programming practice the AI calculation process in a "classroom" setting, using "hand calculations" and "calculation paper"

This is unimaginably difficult.

Frankly, I don't know where to start.

In addition, the restriction of 'only one hour of lecture time' has been a pain for me.

For example, I would like at least "5 hours" to explain the AI techniques of Bayesian and fuzzy reasoning, but currently I have only 15 minutes each.

I have a feeling that if I go into the lecture as it is, 'it will be the most boring lecture imaginable'.

This is why I have been keeping my head in the sand for the past few days.

-----

I think I understand a piece of "why math education can be so boring".

It was here that I came to the realization that 'to make math education fun, we need at least five to ten times as much time as we have in our current frames.

Is going out once a day worth 2,000 Yen? Let's estimate the loss that "loneliness" brings.

(Click on the figure to jump to the article)

In this issue, I read a paper analyzing "mobility" and "wellbeing".

The conclusion I came to was, "If you want to avoid loneliness and be happy, go outside every day".


2023-02-26 "I guess my value is much less than 1/1000th of the value of a patent search engine" [長年日記]

I went to the patent search site again today to prepare documents.

However,

I am now in trouble because I received th above message.

Maintenance is a must, so it is inevitable.

However, it is troubling when 'things that we take for granted to be moving stop.

-----

In this column, I wrote

Ebata: "Oh, I understand that. We usually know very well that 'even if I suddenly disappear, society will not be troubled one millimeter,' but when we face that fact, it makes a dent, you know."

So, now, I am thinking

"I guess my value is much less than 1/1000th of the value of a patent search engine"

And I am depressed on my own.


2023-02-27 "Come to think of it, I've come a long way" [長年日記]

In high school, I vaguely wanted to major in applied physics.

I studied electronics in college and electrical engineering in graduate school.

Then, afterwards, I was involved in the operations described in the following diagram.

So, the following card arrived today.

-----

"Come to think of it, I've come a long way"

I am deeply aware of this.


2023-02-28 Is it OK to live in evasion of these things? -- it's OK (Rakuten Card commercial style). [長年日記]

One word that is no longer heard these days is "self-discovery.

"Who I am"

This is a philosophical question, but I know the best and shortest way to find the answer.

Becoming a Party to "Childcare" and/or "Caregiving"

That's all.

-----

I can already "see" myself that I didn't recognize.

Especially when I reach my physical and mental limits, I can see nakedly the "black emotions" that lurk within me -- I am surprised at myself.

It is said that "the nature of a person is revealed on the battlefield under extreme conditions.

"In this sense, "childcare" and "caregiving" could be described as a quasi-battlefield situation.

-----

Of course, you do not have to go to the battlefield by preference.

Is it OK to live in evasion of these things? -- it's OK (Rakuten Card commercial style).

-----

However, speaking personally -- I think that people who have been "involved in "childcare" and/or "caregiving" are "trustworthy".

On the other hand, we are also aware that this "experience-history principle" has become a breeding ground for so-called marriage harassment, childcare harassment, and caregiver harassment.
