2024-04-18 I would like to start my contribution to the world by "licking my wounds with black history, [長年日記]

I watched "Last Days Sakamoto Ryuichi Sakamoto's Last Days."

In my reflection, I realized that

"I only have a little over ten years left."

Even if I can live a little longer, "10 years left" is a very realistic figure if I include various disabilities (including cognitive disabilities).

Nevertheless, like Ryuichi Sakamoto, I have no accomplishments to leave behind for posterity, nor do I have life lessons to share with my future colleagues.

I still wonder if this is how I would sum up my life.

-----

I do not believe that, for one millimeter, "history" will create the next better generation.

What I have learned from history,

(1) We fail to apply the lessons of our predecessors.

(2) We make the same mistakes over and over again.

(3) We cannot learn from anything but our failures.

-----

The only thing I can leave behind is many failures?the so-called "black history."

The significance of this "black history" is to "comfort" or "lick each other's wounds" by saying, "In the end, you and I are just human beings of this level, so you should live your lives without overreacting.

Well, I think I can do that much.

-----

Therefore, I will actively disclose my "black history" frequently.

Today, as the first installment, I disclose the following,

"I bought a book called 'Exercises for growing taller and taller,' which came with Shonen Jump magazine.

It was a costly purchase for me, a junior high school student at the time, but I bought it.

So I imitated the strange dance-like gymnastics diagrams and continued for about two weeks, but then I got bored.

I realized, "Can I grow taller by doing gymnastics?

These kinds of dubious booklets and tools use two approaches to fool the dim-witted teenagers.

(1) "Surprised comments"

They list many "testimonials" from successful people whose sources are unknown, which will attract buyers.

However, we do not know if this alleged "successful" person exists.

(2) "Recommendation comments from university professors."

Add a comment that a professor at a university (sometimes the name of a foreign university), which may or may not exist, recommends it.

To begin with, it is unclear whether the professor exists (usually accompanied by a photo of a senior citizen in a suit).

Of course, now I would do all sorts of investigations, targeting, and retaliation (involving the government and judiciary, if poorly done), but teenagers are an essential buying group, the so-called "suckers," in that they do not and cannot know such things.

I will not say, 'Don't be fooled by this advertising.

On the contrary, I say, 'Of course, they will be fooled,' I even think it's better that way.

I believe teenagers must develop "distrust" and "hatred" toward society and adults through this kind of process.

It is a very inexpensive tuition for training by evil men and women and scams before you become an adult.

-----

So, although I can't match Ryuichi Sakamoto's feat of "changing the world with music," and in fact, my vector is entirely different,

I want to start my contribution to the world by "licking my wounds with black history.
