In these days, I have noticed that my following advice is reasonable.

(1)Don't use characters as far as possible.

(2)Add pictures as best you can.

(3)Reduce pages

(4)Avoid difficult expressions.

Fill your messages in your presentation material before.

I think that the count of SNS posting is a kind of audience rating.

In the above rules, the audience rating is going down dynamically if I neglect the "Reduce pages" especially.

I think both "Oh, I am a great adviser am not I?”

and "Why don't I do what I have presented. Am I foolish?"

-----

This year’s challenge is a dieting.

It is not only my weight but also "shorten my writing".

But that is a hard work for me.

I have a bad habit of "long writing". For example, when I notice, I have already written more than 20 pages. As far as I am concerned, it is almost asceticism if I reduce less than 3 pages from the 20 pages.

Disposing of "simulation results", "calculated statics", and "new logic I made" are hard works for me. They are so called “To make a costly sacrifice in course of justice".

I do my best, because both the readers and I will be happy.

I sent a mail to my second daughter from my country house.

The following conversation a my country house in new year's holiday.

Ebata:"The other day, I wrote that "Chuuni-byou"(behaving in a way characteristic of teenager) is needed for our society in my diary"

Daughter:"Yes"

Ebata:I thought that "Chuuni-byou" is an behaviour that younger begin to speak issues of politics and philosophy boastfully, as if they noticed the truth of politics and philosophy for the first time"

Daughter:"Well"

Ebata:"But does the younger call "Chuni-byou", who believe that they are a real prince of the demon king of the world empire of the magic, and they happen to be transmigrated by chance and live their life in the existing world as a junior high student"

Daughter:"Yes"

Ebata:"I can support the former, but deny the later. I don't need the younger.

Daughter:"Huh"

Ebata:"Why are these different medical conditions classified into must one disease?"

Daughter:"O.K. I can understand it"

-----

Daughter:"Let me say, that "Chuni-byou" is not to appear for subjective symptoms"

Ebata:"?"

Daughter:"It is defined from the viewpoint of whether or not the person's talk is painful"

Ebata:"Painful talk?"

Daughter:"When I hear the person's talk, I have to feel pain, helpless, shame"

Ebata:"In detail, please"

Daughter:"If I were the person, I would rather kill myself in shame. That is the painful person"

Ebata:"Well, well, I am O.K... No! I am not O.K.!!"

Daughter:"?"

Ebata:The diary of the day is a cheer message for the younger who comes to be interested in politics and philosophy.

Daughter:"And?"

Ebata:"I don't have an intention to protect the younger who believe that they are a real prince of the demon king. They must die.

Daughter:"You are too extreme"

Ebata:"Please stop the definition that Chuuni-byou means the younger who talk painful issues", That annoys me.

Daughter:"To hell with that"

I'm reading the TL (Timeline) of other people on Twitter as a holiday in the New Year holidays (though the definition is now fluctuating in me).

I can see that a lot of people, really continue to criticize, against the whole world of the world, like "never be careless"

However, those criticism seems be "elimination" with "one shot".

-----

Understanding that criticism is the basis of a democratic society,

in addition, knowing well that it is really "it's none of MY business", however,

"Why don't you try to dig deep and continue only one criticism (with being patient with other things) for a year ?" "It will become "good""

I think that you can lead to the real bottom of the problem (or, you can feel like that), if continuing it for a year,

"Good" is not only for the person, but also it become "good" for us.

Criticism that I continue to consider many times over for a long time in myself - is strong.

-----

Any subject is good for us.

Even if it "diet", "one under", while continuing criticism (including surveys and interviews) from various aspects,

I can feel changing the view of mine, and

I'm really surprised by myself.

We adults are completed as "devices that destroy children's dreams".

Moreover, we adults destroy children's dreams as descriptable state orderly, objectivey, logically.

However, we adults do not want to destroy their dreams for bullying purposes.

We know that letting them give up their dreams can send the most costly life, especially if the dreams seem to be diffucult and hopeless.

-----

Many dreams will not come true.

In additon, many of their dreams cause a great inconvenience to irrelevant others.

For example, some of those who were called "baby-boomer generation" were shouting "Revolution !, Revolution!", continuing to destroy social infrastructure, and believing it as "social justice"

When that movement failed, they did not complete the summary (loss analysis), and left silently

They were just irresponsible children (young people).

We adults "crushes" the dreams of these children.

naturally.

-----

Therefore, peolpe who are thinking of being supposed to make their own dreams come true, without annoying to anyone and with having them understood,

have no qualification of "tell a dream".

Although it may be cruel to say this to children, "When you tell a dream at the moment, you need to be prepared to become an enemy all over the world."

(To be continued)

Yesterday, I talked about 'melancholy drinking party', however I will add another talk.

The reason why I hate "drinking party", when I talk with a person who

"appeals that he/she is amazing",

he/she annoys me, and it cannot be helped.

-----

To the contrary to yesterday's punch line,

It is "annoying" which I have to hears the story of "a person who can not keep silent about what the person knows".

It is "annoying" to argue that "I have know such a thing"

It is "annoying" to kill time with such a story.

-----

To give a concrete example of "annoying" things,

- Show off the website of the company's products that they have worked on

- Show things (paintings, desks) that they made with my hobbies

- Talk about the topic of the scope of work in your specialty field (such as control LAN or real-time kernel)

- Talk about the topic in the range they know (religion, politics, social problems)

Finally,

- Show a picture of their child

Even for me, it is impossible to say that "the face of that child is in the range I can guess, if I look at your face isn't it."

(To be continued)

In my office, telework is working seriously.

To be precise, it's just "conference calls" as a part of "telework,"

I think "speakerphone" that can be easily connected to a personal computer has become cheap enough to be purchased by individuals.

-----

However, problems have come to light.

"Faceless meetings are difficult"

No, this is not a new story, however, the important thing is that not only we come to see , but we come to feel

Facial expressions, gestures, and behaviors are important "languages" in meetings.

So,

"If you are silent during a conference call, I will be in trouble"

If I don't know what you're thinking, I can't do the next thing.

-----

"So "conference calls" is no good" is really no good.

It is time that we have to talk without expressions, gestures, and behaviors.

If you ask how to speak without such a language, I can say an answer.

It's "logic", that everyone hates.

-----

Of course, I don't think everything needs to be told in logic.

If the conversation between family members, lovers and friends is spoken in logic, a rather disgusting society is likely to emerge.

At work, I've seen a lot of situations that a person who drives people with one-sided logic, is resentful,, breaking the team and isolating from the organization finally.

While keeping away from such humans, I see the person with feeling

"Serve you right"

-----

Ah. It is me?

If I like the content (movies, novels, comics, etc.), I will want to recommend it to others.

This is because it makes me very happy to be able to share my favorite content with others.

However, "content that I like" does not necessarily become "content that others like".

In order to get people to try out the content, you need to pre-process it by "taking up someone else's valuable time".

And you've "taken up someone else's valuable time" and "someone else's unfavorite content"...

You should consider that

this is already the subject of damages.

Recently, this kind of "harassment" of forcing "your favorite content" on people who are in weaker positions than you is becoming a problem.

For the sake of convenience, we will refer to it as "content harassment".

-----

I have been a victim of this "content harassment".

I remember painfully when I was forced to read more than 50 manga that my seniors liked.

It was hard for me to lie and say "I had a good time" to that senior.

On the other hand, I am also aware that I was a perpetrator of this "content harassment".

In particular, I have been hurt when I introduced a book that I thought was "very good" and was told that it was not interesting at all.

In this case, you are both the perpetrator and the victim, a situation that is hard to ignore.

-----

So, I thought, what about "content funding"?

For example, if you like a movie very much, instead of going to see it two or three times, you can donate that amount of money to someone who is not interested in that movie.

This is going to have a very interesting effect.

- Buy the time of people who are not interested in that content.

- Hopefully "empathize" with people who are not interested in the content.

- By disclosing the total amount of funding, we can get a "numerical" evaluation of the film, which is less influenced by the pure evaluation of the film (x advertising scale, x marketing strategy, x personal taste).

-----

So, if it's "Violet Evergarden the Movie", I'm willing to invest (or is it "donate", since there is no return) the cost of one time to that fund.

One of the best movies starring Sylvester Stallone is called "Rambo".

This is a battle-action film about a Vietnam War veteran who is unreasonably discriminated against in his home country, battles with sheriffs and pursued by the National Guard, and finally strikes back.

As a film dealing with a very serious social issue in the United States, it was quite a hit in Japan at the time.

In this series, there is "Rambo 3: The Angry in Afghan".

It was about Rambo supporting the Mujahideen (meaning "those who carry out jihad"), a resistance group against the Soviet Union (now Russia) that was invading Afghanistan at the time, and challenging them to fight against the Soviet army.

In the film, the line "A country with patriotic guerrillas cannot be conquered. We experienced it in Vietnam" appears in the film.

At the end of the film, there is a message that says, "This film is dedicated to all Afghan warriors

To sum it up quite roughly, the movie "Rambo 3" can be described as "a movie in which Rambo, an American citizen, supports the Taliban in Afghanistan.

I just checked, and you can also watch this movie on Amazon Prime.

Apparently, I am the only one who has a twisted perspective that links Rambo to the Taliban.

-----

Meanwhile, in the real world as well, Soviet troops have withdrawn from Afghanistan.

However, the resulting conflict between the Mujahideen led to a civil war and the rise of the Taliban.

The U.S. government is a country that has repeatedly had its security threatened by nations that it has previously supported militarily.

Whether it is the Vietnam War or the Gulf War, there is no shortage of cases where the U.S. has been attacked by its own troops because of the huge amount of weapons it has given to that country.

In that sense, Japan has been fortunate to have avoided this kind of situation because of its slow political decision-making (especially regarding the Self-Defense Forces).

"Isn't Japan the only developed country that hasn't had a domestic terrorist attack carried out by Islamic fundamentalists?"

So, I did some research.

U.S.A. -> (naturally) yes, France -> yes, U.K. -> yes, Germany -> yes, Italy -> yes, Italy -> yes, Canada -> yes (last June)(*)

(*)Source: International Terrorism Handbook 2021 | Public Security Intelligence Agency, etc.

However, I am afraid that my 30-minute research on the Internet above will be spread as "fact", so if I have misunderstood or misrepresented anything, please point it out to me by e-mail.

-----

My wife once scolded me for saying that the Ako Roshi incident (Chushingura) was like a "riot of local samurai.

Since then, I have tried to refrain from saying such expressions even if they come to my mind.

Last night, I was watching NHK's 2004 Taiga Drama "Shinsengumi! Special" (compilation), which was aired on NHK in 2004. and I thought,

""Shinsengumi" is like the Taliban of Edo Shogunate fundamentalists."

In the first place, it is more vicious than the Taliban in that it is an organization that carries out killings based only on the judgment of a private department without the approval of the authority (Edo Shogunate).

The Shinsengumi was a private military company (PMC) that was formed by those who resisted the Shogunate's order to disband the group and was funded by the private fortune of the Aizu domain lord, Matsudaira Yoho.

In that same sense,

""Rurouni Kenshin" is also a member of the PMC taken over by the Satsuma and Choshu clans, a terrorist with rare abilities."

-----

However,

If I mention the above interpretation of "Shinsengumi", my wife will stop talking to me.

If I mention the above interpretation of "Rurouni Kenshin", my senior daughter will not be able to talk to me.

This is a sure thing. Hence, I won't say anything they don't want to hear

From the start of this year's New Year's vacation to now, I can confidently say that I have not skipped an hour.

The only TV program I watched this New Year's was the recorded "Celebrity Ratings Check! 2023 New Year's Special".

Why, then, is the planned schedule delayed by 2.5 days?

I know -- "lack of information gathering in advance" and "overconfidence in one's own abilities".

I am now feeling a bit overwhelmed, thinking that these two will probably put me in a tight spot this year as well.

When I worked for less than a few years, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck, and although I was only there for three days, I volunteered.

Even now, some 30 years later, I do not feel that the number of victims has dramatically decreased or that the efficiency of evacuation centers has significantly improved.

Even now, just as it was 30 years ago, the news is explaining how to use cardboard boxes and newspapers to beat the cold, and so on.

Technology such as "a new exterior coating that stops buildings from collapsing" or "a rocket that sends large quantities of supplies to isolated evacuation centers" has yet to appear.

-----

We have been exceptionally "passive" regarding natural disasters throughout history.

We can only recover from a natural disaster that has completely overrun our daily lives.

It is very frustrating.

At this point, I have lived without encountering a direct hit from a natural disaster, but there is no guarantee that such good fortune will last until my death.

-----

I am sure that my body, head, and energy will deteriorate, and I will be unable to live my daily life.

In such a situation, I am unsure if I would survive if I were hit directly by a natural disaster. Even if I stayed, I am skeptical I could maintain the energy to live afterward.

It is frustrating that all I can do is pray to God, saying, "I want to escape my life without encountering war or disaster.
