For my wife and daughters, I sometimes broach the subject of such philosophical aporia.

However, I don't pose as the maieutic method of Socrates, I arrange my thought with using them.

My father cannot remember the conversation several minutes ago now.

Even if I take out father to a mountain and the river, he cannot remember it until night.

Still his everyday life does not have the big trouble, and, seeing from the side, it looks like a common old man's life.

At the time that he kept on setting fire of cooker, my sister and I changed it for an electromagnetic kitchen utensil in a hurry.

-----

According to my thought of yesterday diary, the conclusion is

"What we do not remember is what we do not live"

Then it is right my father lives in his life only as for several minutes.

However, he said "You are home aren't you?" whenever I return his house.

As the aspect of my information, he lives now.

However, the day that he could not recognize me, might come.

He could keep sleeping, having for his daily life.

I ask myself.

Could I say "father lives" then?

(To be continued)

Now I am ordering a software to a software house now,

This time, we agreed that the base language is "python".

Because of the background, I have started the language since the agreement, however,

To tell you the truth, it becomes hard for me.

to learn a new computer language, and felt complicated.

Am I also older so?

-----

Next weekend, I am going to attend niece wedding ceremony, and be an attendant of my father in all day.

So I had concentrated to writing my column about for more than twenty hours in the last weekend, because I was afraid not have enough time to make it.

This time, I would make a weight predictive simulator by MATLAB/Simulink, however, I was tired to study them. After all I had made it by C/C++.

- Only three times of compile error.

- I could confirm the simulator worked well in 20 min.

-----

"Well, No-No"

It is not that I can not accept something new, but I can adapt something with old methods or tools.

Yes. I can understand your opinions, for example, "what is "the pointer" and "release memory", on earth, Ebata-san?" I know you are right.

But I want to send a rest of my life with C/C++.

No good ?

(Continuation from yesterday)

On the other hand, recently I think there are many immature executives who cannot "control softening the situation". That's a pity.

I am afraid that an air cleaner is still more useful than them.

-----

Above and beyond this

I have an proposal if you really want to know the opinions of corporate underclass.

How do you think to make a system that displays the anonymous comments of corporate underclass on the presentation screen like the way of "Niko-Niko movie",

"Stop talking about allocation of mere trash in a sloppy way"

"Are you dummy? Do you really believe that we can achieve such a fairy-tale sales ?"

"You are really a typical evil of elder, You may die"

The meeting that the screen become full of such above messages,

tingles me, with just the image.

-----

Come on! Would you try this way, if you think that you can put up with these disrespectful message in the meeting ?

At least I can assume that you could get bottom lines of corporate underclass perfectly.

If I am asked who I have respected in Japanese history, I will answer

"Mr. Mitsuhide Akechi"

at once.

-----

I know that historical fact is not exactly true, and I have not experimented proper historical research activities before.

My background information is historical novels and television dramas of NHK, at the best.

However, He was

cleaver, logical, conservative and bureaucratic,

and a revolutionist at the same time.

when it came to a showdown, he could not be a charismatic governor and could not grab public minds.

Well, how to say,

"I am a incarnated him, am not I ?"

-----

I am sorry.

Just an office engineer, who cannot go against boss's order "Make the material by tomorrow morning"

said rude things to the historical great figure.

I can't apologize enough for this to Mr. Mitsuhide Akechi and you.

(Continuation from yesterday)

There is a problem that is a target of "Google opinion poll".

Needless to say, the opinions of people who cannot use blog and SNS, are not be recoreded as digital contents. So the opinions will be not reflected by the "Google opinion poll".

Even if not all persons who use PCs, cells and smartphones, say something by blog and SNS.

In addition, I know that there are many people who cannot use PCs, cells and smartphones (I had already simulated the ratio before)

Moreover, I said before that many persons in authority cannot use them.

In the way, "Google opinion poll" is not suitable as a method of "opinion poll", because the target is only for digital winners.

-----

However, recently I come to think,

"So what?"

To begin with, there is no perfect "opinion poll" in the world.

General opinion polls show the result of people who come out (In the telephone survey of NHK, valid respondents to a questionnaire are nearly half.

Therefore, there is no problem to think that both the behavior of the people of general opinion poll and of the people who open their opinion in blog and SNS are almost same.

-----

To tell you the truth, I think that the merit of "Google opinion poll" is, for example,

Which is more popular "fried rice" or "dumpling"

that is relatively trivial matter, but this often become "violent row"

"Ruling of Google" can avoid troublesome affairs like above.

I know there are a lot of people who feel more tired and pain than me.

As compared to the people, I am nothing.

However, I also feel tired and pain.

-----

"Why does this system work as I have excepted ?"

"The system behaviors are different between same hardwares and softwares. Is this harassment by someone who hate me?"

Today all day, I rebooted the system again and again at the office near the experimental test site with my head between my hands.

-----

For this two month, I have no recollection to take a whole day off.

I have cheated my body into working with vitamin drops and cold medication.

I also know there are a lot of persons like me in the world at the present.

-----

At least, now for me, I am one of the persons who can think

"I don't mind if a black hole crash-dives the sun tomorrow(*).

However, in order to realize "Japazon" (Japanese government) services at the level of Amazon, the users (Japanese citizens) need to have a certain level of literacy.

Amazon is maintaining its services by eliminating front-of-house operations altogether.

In order for Japazon to provide the same level of service as Amazon, all Japanese citizens should be able to use IT devices (PCs and smartphones) as normal.

In addition, Japazon needs to have the same level of interface as the current human counter service, however, I want to know when the "AI" front service starts?

Aside from that.

I'm getting used to ebooks. It's convenient.

In my case, I have a Kindle on my phone or tablet, and the fact that I don't have to "carry around a book" is a huge advantage.

Some books are available for free (books on Dazai, Ogai, Soseki, etc.).

I read about a page or two a day while waiting at the train station, etc., so I might be able to read through it at least once before I die (and I already know the story).

On the other hand, it's a shame that I can't get comics like used book prices of "Book-Off".

-----

I don't buy a lot of ebook comics, but I still buy some of them.

Today, I'm going to recommend

"An old man becomes a junior school girl".

(To be continued)

I once calculated the "price of a child".

Also, I've made an estimate that the more children there are, the more money the government will make.

The calculation is quite simple: the ratio of average lifetime tax revenue to the amount invested per child by the state (13.68 million yen).

With a return of 1.56 times the investment in child care (if that is true), a child is a good investment property.

At least it's much better than keeping your money in the bank.

However, it is the state that can recoup this investment, not our families.

We can also look at it in a malicious way that we are taxed out of our meager household budgets by the state through our children.

-----

And well -- I've been doing a lot of these calculations.

I don't have to feel 'unfair' about the proposal by the Komeito Party to uniformly provide 100,000 yen in cash to people under the age of 18, which was a pledge made in the lower house election regarding support measures in response to the spread of the new corona infection.

To be honest, I'm thinking, 'Even one million yen per person won't pay off.

Parents are mysterious creatures that want to live life with their children, even though they will lose money if they have children.

-----

However, my second daughter turned 19 years old this year.

"Bummer!"

I have the feeling.

Believe it or not, there were no TV program recording devices in the past.

In other words, TV broadcasts were only available for real-time, one-shot viewing, and moreover, "one TV per family" was the norm.

So what happened was,

"Channel disputes led to murders"

Many were within families (especially among teenages).

-----

With video recorders, HDD recorders, and smartphones, the concept of "channel disputes" has disappeared, but at the same time, the culture of "sharing content with family members" has also disappeared.

In my case, watching the NHK news every morning or evening and watching NHK's historical dramas are habits I inherited from my father and mother.

Unfortunately, however, this custom is likely to disappear in my generation.

Well, to begin with, family meals disappeared after our second daughter graduated from high school.

Now I don't know what my children are doing or where they are doing it.

-----

I believe that a family is a loosely autonomous decentralized system that can rally for one purpose or disperse for another, so "this" is fine.

Children must jump on the current family as a springboard to create another new autonomous decentralized system (family).

And I, as a component of the present last system, must live and die in solitude, alone, after separating from my partner.

I believe that only those who are prepared to do so are qualified to be called "parents".

-----

Therefore,

The "Unification Church," which considers the family as an absolute value, the "late former prime minister," who advocated family supremacy, and "Sazae-san," which is out of touch with the current family style

are not accepted by me ABSOLUTELY.

I was working on YouTube, playing clips from NHK's epic drama series.

It sounds good to say "warring feudal lords," but I now realize that they are antisocial forces (gangs, etc.) after all.

Well, it is a malicious view.

First, there is no concept of the "rule of law," so it is no wonder that "violence" has been the only means of governance.

However, if I dare to look at this from the rule of law perspective, it goes like this.

- A Sengoku Daimyo is a "yakuza boss," and a princess is a "Sis."

- The helpless people who are not part of that yakuza group are always the victims of genocide, humiliation, and robbery.

- What could have opposed the yakuza called "daimyo" would have been the "armed religious cult group" called the Ippou Brotherhood.

In general, NHK's historical dramas can be summed up as dramas depicting the lawless days of antisocial forces with no other means of mediating their interests than "violence.

-----

For example, the Battle of Sekigahara (1600) --,

- Not the Tokugawa family, but with the Kanto designated gang "Tokugawa-gumi" and its subordinate gangs,

- Not the Toyotomi family, but some administrative bureaucrats (the Ishida clan), led by the Mouri clan, a Shikoku-designated gang, who saw merit in the survival of the "Toyotomi clan" rather than the Toyotomi family,

Armed power struggle between the above two forces.

It is easier for me to grasp that.

-----

With this in mind, it seems to me that the current operation of what is called "democracy" or "rule of law" is a "miracle."

I hope this continues -- no, it is enough for my lifetime.

What happens after I die is not my concern.
