north wind and sun

"Dried flowers, etc." Pen

Many people are familiar with Aesop's fable, ``The North Wind and the Sun.''、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。The north wind and the sun do not compromise on which is stronger.、Pointing to a traveler walking wearing a thick coat.、``Let's compete to see who can take off his coat.''、That's the story。

Looking at the international community、The sun has gone far away and is missing。Only the north wind rises several times、We only compete with each other's strength。The strength of the north wind、Coldness has evolved far since Aesop's time.、Through a carefully planned strategy that makes full use of AI、The traveler freezes in an instant。

Who will take off their coat first?、The weak north wind says that should have been the rule.、``I don't need such rules,'' says the strong north wind, changing the rules on the spot.。I wanted to change the tyranny that was common in Aesop's time.、The fable he created has instead returned to its previous state.、what words will he say。

Strong winds were blowing all day today。Bicycle walking has recently become a daily routine.、I tried to go out, but a strong headwind forced me to leave quickly.。However, hotokenoza swarm and fill the edges of the road.、Daffodils are swaying here and there.。It doesn't seem like it's going to freeze anymore。The day before yesterday was a total lunar eclipse。I completely forgot about it、The sun, which was thought to remain far away,、I suddenly showed my face in such a place.。

Where the “hand” ends up

"Hand" Watercolor

Hands may be the most physical symbol that separates humans from animals.。Some people say it's the "brain"、Of course many mammals、Arthropods such as centipedes also have proper brains.。molluscan、In particular, octopuses are well known for their high intelligence.。In jellyfish and anemones、There are nerves, but there doesn't seem to be a specific part of the brain.。

It's a ``hand'' that we usually use without even thinking about it.、Once it becomes difficult to use even one finger due to injury etc.、You will notice that your quality of life will deteriorate over time.。Conversely、How much has civilization developed through the use of hands?、You can expand your imagination to。

Dogs and cats' front paws are not "hands"。The definition of "hand" is not clear、"Grab something、Do you agree that it is a part of the body that has the ability to operate tools?。The front paws of dogs and cats、The function of the front legs (scratching)、to hold down)、You cannot operate tools etc.。In that sense、The hands of great apes and many monkeys are fine hands.。
With that hand、Humanity has many benefits、develop civilization、At the same time, I have acquired a lot of knowledge.。The “ability to operate tools” is、On the other hand, they always create weapons that kill people.、That knowledge has led to the extinction of many plants and animals.。

And、From now on, we will enter an era in which AI will take over humanity's "hands and knowledge."。already、The hardships humans have in creating things with their own hands and brains、There is no need to study to absorb new knowledge.。Such beautiful "hands"、I don't have to hurt myself anymore due to work.。Follow your instinctual (animal?) desires、You no longer need to use it other than to press a button.。
The era of science fiction manga has truly emerged。A small number of "rulers" let computers control computers.、machines create machines、Computers will accumulate new knowledge from each other (without using complicated human language)。
What does a human being kept in a computer do? There's nothing more to do than war games or hunting games。You won't even be able to commit suicide.。

Leaning “justice”

The war with Iran has finally begun.。Joint pre-emptive strike by the US and Israel。It was announced that the United States and Iran were negotiating over their nuclear program.、Until the attack is ready、There are also accusations that it was just a way to buy time.。

With the obvious “use of force against other countries”、Violation of international law (regardless of whether it actually works or not)。on the other hand、Women whose human rights had been suppressed rejoiced、Even in the streets, videos of people cheering for a direct attack on the regime (although it is unclear whether this is fake or not) are being spread on social media.、For example, Australia welcomed the attack.、expressed support。About their relationships and values、International response also seems to be divided.。

(Although it has not been confirmed) It is an attack as "justice" for the "massacre of 35,000 civilians."、and Trump justified the reason for starting the war.。on the other hand、Many civilians were tortured to death in Ukraine.、We can only show deep understanding (maybe respect) for Putin, who has been indiscriminately invading the foundations of citizens' lives for over four years.。Does “justice” have a different meaning there?。The accusation of “arbitrary” justice cannot be avoided。
Trump also said, ``The United Nations can't do anything.、Trump has also publicly stated that the United States will do it for him, and that international law has nothing to do with me.。In short, the one with the weapons and money is the best.、Just follow it、That would be the logic。If Iran has nuclear weapons, my position will be shaken.、If Israel has nuclear weapons, we will become an ally.。“NPT = Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty” also、It seems like it's there for America's arbitrary use.。

But、"Justice" and "fairness" are predicated on "impartiality"、It seems that the only people who think that way are Japanese people.。For Americans, favoritism towards America is justice.、It seems fair、It seems to be the same for other countries as well.。
A lot of dissatisfaction arose during the scoring competition at the recently concluded Milan-Cortina Olympics.、An investigation was also launched for this purpose.。In figure skating, competing for a one-hundredth point difference、It has been announced that there are a number of referees who gave particularly high marks to players from their own country, giving them 8 or 9 points.。According to researched scientific data、Apparently the fairest judge was a ``Japanese referee.''。What attracted particular attention was the judgment, which was said to be ``rather harsh on players from their own country.''。Not only the performance of the players、It is said that it is highly rated by those as well.。That's fine too、I think many Japanese would agree with this.。
