I believe that the worst property of human being is "pain".

If "God" makes "human being" with the property of "pain", I think that the "God" is the worst guy

I also believe that human being may allow any type of "run away" from any pain. For example "suicide" is also O.K.

-----

Before I wrote the column about "gender identity disorder", I tried to check the suicide rate. And I was really surprised at the highest ratio.

This is a clear evidence that "gender identity disorder" is unsupportable pain.

If the surgical operation against "gender identity disorder" come to be palliative care, the operation should be recommended, and the change of sex in census register should have been admitted promptly.

-----

When I try to interpret the phenomenon, I try to use a science-based approach (observation -> hypothesis -> experiment -> verification)

However I could not reach to the pain of "gender identity disorder" by a science-based approach, and I was irritated about it.

So I tried an experiment, and I asked my wife's advice.

-----

Ebata:"So, I will try to disguise me in woman's clothes. How do you think about?"

Wife; "If you act funny, I will be inflamed with rage"

Ebata:"This is "serious talk" seriously"

Wife: "Go ahead"

Ebata:"I think that both the sex of my body and the sex of my mind is same"

Wife:"And ?"

Ebata:"In order to understand the pain of "gender identity disorder" for me, I think I come to make the "disorder" enforcedly."

Wife:"...."

Ebata:"I know well that I cannot reach to the pain perfectly. However, I think I can re-create the pain of the sense of discomfort."

Wife:"I am afraid that you are wrong."

Ebata:"Is there something to fail?"

Wife:"Your idea is wrong that you can make a same condition if you make a same distance from "order"."

Ebata:"So wrong?"

Wife:"It is wrong. Wrong method, wrong idea and the approach by using logic is the worst"

Ebata:"So many "wrong"..."

Wife: "Normally thinking, the experiment will make persons who suffer from "gender identity disorder", will annoy more."

Like that, my idea was criticized terribly by wife, and the experiment was stopped.

-----

Certainly, if I want to really understand the unsupportable pain of "gender identity disorder", I should have tried the s urgent operation, not to disguise me in woman's clothes in a half-way manner.

I mean, it is not thorough

I remember now that my wife's phrases were on target.

-----

However, I am searching how to understand the pain of others.

So now I am studying brain-science or IT technology(neural network e.t.c.) in order to reach the pain everyday.

During the consecutive holidays, I kept myself in my house, so I often watched TV during the day.

And I was surprised at the low quality of daytime news programs compared to nighttime news programs.

First, the newscaster's ignorance and no study. -- Maybe I want to believe that they are acting "incompetently".

In addition, in the program,

- (Including items for which no results have been obtained), blaming the government policy, and guiding everything to the responsibility of the Prime Minister and the Minister

- A desperate misunderstanding of statistics(in particular, no understanding of "hypothesis test" regarding RPC test numbers)

- Fawning behavior comment by the person who is said to be an "expert"

Also, I remember the name of the person who is said to be an "expert" and search on the Web. However some people are completely anonymous, and some do not even write a paper in worst case (of course, some people do not).

When I evaluate a person's performance, I'm not interested in that person's educational background, but I try to read the content of the person's papers, columns, anything else, except SNS. --- It's kind of troublesome, though.

Somehow, I feel that they are borrowing a person named "Professor" at a cheap price, and pulling him/her out to the news program.

So, I didn't watch TV in the daytime and only watched NHK news at 19:00.

-----

Even for the NHK news programs, I sometimes feed the line.

The phrase "security is broken by "hackers"" is a level that can't be fixed anymore,

The same goes for the phrase "○○ was realized by"AI"" (I no longer have the power to complain).

So this time

The phrase "the gene" RAN "..." came out.

"May I call "RNA" a gene? It's not DNA"

I looked it up.

"There are many viruses that have RNA as a gene," and I found an explanation about the microRNA gene.

-----

I realized, "I'm not good at things that aren't my specialty."

""What do you think, is there any possibility of a future where only COVID-19 related patent rights are opened on a special international basis, and a COVID-19 joint front is developed?"

In the column, I thought that the possibility of

Trips Article 31, "Compulsory License" or Article 93 of the Patent Law, "Ruling on the Establishment of a Non-exclusive License in the Public Interest.

is coming finally.

However, the "temporary abandonment" of the new coronavirus patent in the recent news seems to be different from the "license" story above.

Today, I would like to talk a little bit about "abandonment of patent rights".

-----

It may not seem strange to many people, but the phrase in the news, "temporary abandonment of patent rights," is a strange term.

"What is a "'temporary' abandonment" of patent rights, anyway?"

I believe that this "temporary abandonment" is a misnomer because once a patent right is abandoned, it cannot be regained.

However, patent rights are also effective in each country based on the territorial principle (meaning that they are effective only within the territory and territorial waters of the country).

Therefore, "abandonment of patent rights" can be done on a country-by-country basis.

For example, it is possible to " abandon patent rights only to poor countries."

It is possible -- but there is nothing that can be done when patent rights are abandoned in poor countries that do not have pharmaceutical manufacturing plants or equipment.

This is because the country does not have the means to produce the vaccine.

-----

Anyway, I don't really understand this "abandonment of patent rights for the Corona vaccine".

I'll have to look it up again and come back.

(To be continued)

Programming that I have never done before excites me.

I've never played games (I mean it's computer games) seriously , but probably in the same direction.

I think that "I make a program that I want to execute" is equal to "I defeat the last boss."

If there is a difference,

I think programming is a great way to pass on know-how to third parties.

In contrast, the know-how to defeat the last boss is not protected as intellectual property, nor can it be transferred to a third party.

-----

The Ebata family is a typical family of ordinary people, I think. However we had never used the following phrase of

"Don't play games all the time, study!"

To begin with, the culture of gaming has not taken root in my family.

The last game words I heard were "Nintendo-DS" and "Wii".

It is amazing to think that my daughters have spent their high teenage years playing "No Game".

Return to the topic.

------

Conversely, gaming talent cannot be transferred to a third party, and therefore strong differentiation can be achieved.

Professional game players are one example.

Games could be the subject of school education if they are properly systematized, manualized, and curricularized.

This can easily tag-team with current programming and STEM education.

In addition, e-sports have a high potential to contribute to the health of the elderly in that they are less likely to be affected by age, gender, or physical size.

It is also, in fact, one of the solutions to "loneliness" and "isolation".

One negative effect of education may be the creation of a new paradigm, that of "game aversion".

Just like the "English haters" and "math haters" that are prominent in our country, the building of a tendency to dislike games could be a solution to problems such as "game addiction".

------

Well, in fact, the current introduction of programming education is also likely to generate "programming aversion".

I can honestly say, 'It will definitely occur,' I believe.

"The ear where there is No IT system in companies". --- I am not kidding.? The era had existed in the old days.

It was natural just before 20 years ago.

If I failed to submit my time and attendance, a person in the general affair department called me in an angry voice. When I delayed vouchers to the accounting department,? I kept my head down and sometimes I give them souvenirs periodically.

The paperwork was managed through a casual relationship.

In that sense, the so-called "cheerfulness," "cherry," "frights," and "down on their knees", were superior interfaces to keep our paper management in my company.

-----

However, IT system doesn't care of them at all.

Even if the deadlines pass through over 70 days, the IT system doesn't put any alert message. As a result, on the day of the end of the fiscal year,? my company came to be in a fuss.

IT system rejects to get a report even if I delay submitting it by just five minutes.

On the contrary, even if the IT system is down for access concentrations, they have no apology, reimbursement, compensation, or grace, and just reject my submission.

Therefore I used to avoid submitting any materials on the deadline day. Because I decide the day is "The system down day".

In short, regardless of AI technologies, with IT management by computer, we have already become

"Slavers of the IT system"

-----

My company orders us to change my "password" several times a year for the company work system.

When we don't do it, the sanctions from the systems are simple and brutal.

"All accesses to all work systems are suspended".

Not only the work systems, but also e-mail, chat, IP phones, and everything else will be out of service.

-----

However, when I try to change my password, the change must be admitted by another system. This is a seriously complicated status.

As a result, what will happen? It is a "deadlock".

When I try to access a work system, I need to use the new password. However, the system also needs the new password.

In short, the situation of "changing password makes me not access any work system" occurs.

In order to avoid the deadlock, I have to start the system before being spread the changing password to the system. Anyway, it is an annoying process I have to.

In a sense, I am not just a slave but,

"Servant of the System"

I believe that it would not be an exaggeration.

It is beyond infuriating, but it is true that this is one of the worlds that eliminate "cheerfulness," "cherry," "frights," and "down on their knees".

Still, it is also very difficult to escape from the world when we are caught by the system deadlock.

-----

The next-generation AI technology might be something to understand the interfaces of "cheerfulness," "cherry," "frights," and "down on their knees".

However, with the AI technology, a computer might respond with "Shut up! Stop yelling!!" against your loud claims.

Every time I see a headline for a book or movie called "How You Live."

"It's none of your business."

I mutter to myself.

-----

A holiday weekend of coding, debugging, and reading papers is ending.

No, to be precise, I have to take two more days of planned annual leave, so this is continuing.
