I think I've written a little bit in this column about how "ageing itself becomes a 'power'".

Even if they are not capable or have no achievements, the elderly come to get the power -- this is the negative side of the Confucian concept of respect for the elderly.

No one can resist an elderly person who is capable and has a good track record.

It is natural.

In addition, the older we get, the harder it is to change the paradigm -- and of course, the harder it is for me.

As I mentioned before, it took me several years to get "marital separation" and more than ten years to get "gay marriage".

The self-learning (self-study) to understand these things was long and painful.

If you don't know how hard this is, imagine yourself and your family in a realistic way.

"Blood marriage (brother marriage, sister marriage, brother-sister marriage, sister marriage, parent-child marriage)"

Try to simulate them in your mind how much time and study you will be able to accept them.

(Is that a good example? )

Anyway,

- The elderly have power.

- Paradigm shift for the elderly is as difficult as accepting "real blood marriage".

Can't you think of it that way?

Yeah, you can't do that.

I understand.

If we assume that,

- The concept of "mutual understanding based on the premise that the elderly cannot change their minds.

and

- Technology to naturally remove elderly people from the top of the organization.

I believe that these will be the social solutions of the future.
