2022-09-09 I realize that I am now required to make an effort to "not understand each other. [長年日記]

Lately, I realize that I am standing on the side of the old man, that menas, problems caused by the elderly (esp. gerontocracy, and elderly people's control over the young)

I am trying not to touch youth ideas and sensibility, however, it is hard for me.

As you know, one of my businesses is to make questions against the social and political correctness.

So I continue to write a series of columns with the aim of using "numbers" to to turn the correctness and common sense upside down.

It means,

"I have a lot of logics to knock down the ideas that young people tend in my mind"

To make the worst, I can show them using many specific numbers.

-----

I am not trying to brag.

"Getting older" menas that I have had "more time" to have these experiences and calculation. That is all.

Senior is stronger, because of their life time. This is power.

-----

When I was youth, several ideas and ideals of mine had been broken by seniors.

Their logics were always perfect, and I had to continue to lose.

Therefore, it took me a long time to arrive at the cencept of "the ability not to listen to others".

Flexible, smart, and communicative young people, the so-called "competent young people", tend to be easily preyed upon by the "old".

I know this reality from the side of 'crushed side' and the 'crusher side'.

-----

So, I think that what I have to have is

'The ability to remain silent about what I know.'

And the easiest approach to maximize that ability is to 'not argue'.

I realize that I am now required to make an effort to "not understand each other.
