Cultural screws are broken

「 Apple 3 colored 」 2020 tempera

A small museum in the Netherlands、The Van Gogh painting I was borrowing was stolen.、news that。Due to the coronavirus pandemic、Apparently it was temporarily closed due to government request.。

Rather than being angry at a time like this、I feel like applauding this thief.。At a time like this when we are depressed due to Corona、At the very least, instead of opening a museum and devising ways to heal people's feelings,、I feel like the very idea of ​​simply closing the museum is being criticized.。Almost all large-scale events have been canceled、The big contradiction is that the date for next year's Olympics has also been decided.。They say it's for athletes, etc.、The real intention is to recover the money spent on the Olympics.、Everyone knows that the strong request from the business community, which wants to use this as a catalyst to give momentum to business, is the top priority.。At such times、The stolen painting all by myself、When I imagine myself excitedly looking into it up close,、I feel like the culprit is a much more noble person.。

Freelance musician/performer、stage actors etc.、In addition, instructors of various culture classes etc.、Life is no longer possible due to the cancellation of concerts and events.。Can we, as a cultural nation, just leave this situation alone?、There is a debate that。We want to respond to this by expanding the scope of conventional unemployment measures.、There is a raw reply from the administration that。However, the reality is that many people don't even really understand the meaning of the word "freelance".。The only translation of the word “live” is “source of infection.”、It doesn't seem to apply to them。To those who only know famous people、What path did the famous person take to get there?、It seems that the ability to imagine is completely lacking.。

people working as freelancers、Unemployment relief funds will be used to cover temporary hardships.、During that time, ``I go to Hello Work etc.''、find a job as much as possible。This is the kind of aid that will only go so far.''。Are you an idiot?、All I can say is。``This will stabilize my life.、Don't you think the idea is to work hard at composing and practicing until the time is right? Should I work somewhere? What about practice? A painter has a solo exhibition for one week.、Suppose sales are 1 million yen.。1 million yen per week、There are 55 weeks a year, so you can probably earn about 50 million yen.、say it calmly。When do you think you'll start painting?。no imagination。Of course it's not good to steal pictures.。But、I'd rather talk to this idiot、I'm sure you can have a deeper conversation with the criminal.。

Corona holiday

「 Green apple 」 2020

right now、Approximately one-third of the world's people、It seems that movement is restricted.。Even in Europe where Covid-19 is raging、Some places have strict restrictions on walking your dog within 10 meters of your home.、Enjoy a meal with friends in the garden or park、Countries where physical contact such as sports is OK (as long as you are careful overall)、There are also regions。Not everyone is panicking。

Restrictions on going out、Telework (work from home using a computer)、School closure、Closing of shops other than those selling daily necessities, such as restaurants、Prohibition of gatherings of more than three or five people、Cancelation of almost all events、Closing of cultural facilities such as art museums, museums, libraries, theaters, etc.、In other words, I am forced to take a day off at home.。What is different from normal times、Not knowing when the holidays will end。And、It seems like it will last a long time。

The number of students taking online correspondence courses at Yale University in the United States has increased by 500,000.。on this occasion、Positive news such as starting studying to obtain a new qualification、Running across the screen of a smartphone or computer。``It's no use being anxious.。I feel like I'm being pressured to be positive and do something useful (if you have time to complain).、It's actually stressful。Positive is fine too、There's nothing wrong with just resting your body.。

lost at sea、When drifting in a rubber boat, etc.、People who die early are more likely to lose their physical strength、It is more likely due to the stress of not being able to see the future.、I heard somewhere that。Because it was a long time ago、I still don't know if that's true。But、先の見えないのが大きなストレスになることは確かだ気を紛らす術を知っている方が絶対にいい図書館から100冊くらい借りておけばよかったが(実際は10冊までしか借りられないが)真っ先に休館されたのは残念だった

Look at Covid-19、How to think about “Japan”

「Snickers 2」 2020 is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake

The new coronavirus (Covid-19) has spread to Europe and the Americas.、more australia、is spreading to Africa。In Asia, China and South Korea seem to have passed their peak.、Taiwan、The brink of whether Singapore will succeed in taking control。Similar to Japan in other Asian countries、It seems that many people are saying that the infection is spreading.。All countries around the world want to prevent the spread of the virus within their borders.、In terms of specific examples such as entry restrictions, Japan is almost on par with other countries.、In this process, Japan is a country whose way of thinking is completely different from the rest of the world.、It made me feel deeply。

Prime Minister Abe said, ``I will not listen to the advice of experts'' (it is my own judgment).、As far as I can see、Prime Minister of each country、The president said he would "constantly listen to the opinions of experts"、The stance of appealing to the public ``based on professional and scientific knowledge'' is in stark contrast.。surely、If you recall, he has confidently responded several times in his parliamentary speeches, saying, ``I (Abe) am the Prime Minister who ``is in charge of all things...''、I can nod my head that such an attitude makes sense.。Everyone thinks, ``If I could control all things, I wouldn't have caused COVID-19 in the first place.''、habit of lying、delusions of grandeur、Prime Minister's words that he is suffering from a serious condition called memory loss、It's a waste of time to worry about it now。

But、Don't underestimate Mr. Abe。He is a political genius、I think。I feel that I have a humanity that is extremely close to Hitler.。Geniuses are usually "pure hearted"。What is “pure heart”?、Doing things that only you can secretly profit from?、It means that there is no such calculation in the world (elections are different)。The purity of his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi's desire to risk his life to achieve his dreams (similar to the religious spirit of believing that it will benefit everyone)、That's、It will also be a force to unite the many simple and innocent (≠innocent) members of the Liberal Democratic Party who have no policy whatsoever to begin with.、I also think that it can represent the militaristic aesthetics (religion) of some people who praise things like the "Kamikaze spirit" as sublime (just to be safe)、It is impossible to believe that the members of the special attack corps in the former Japanese army were the only ones with such a simple spirit.、I don't think much about dew。Rather, the "Kamikaze spirit" is based on people who don't have to go on a special attack.、(I think it's just inflammatory language.)。

For those who share such aesthetics (religion)、Hit Japan against covid-19 with only the “hit and crush” spirit of the “Yamato tribe”、Moreover, there is probably a belief that ``we will definitely win''。want to put scientific evidence on the back burner、Such a divine idea compels the people to make ``Isagiyoi'' sacrifices.、I think this may be connected to the tendency to simply dismiss everything as ``one's own responsibility.''。
