“Safety and security” and “O・Mo・ten・na・shi”

Japanese white radish

Even with beautiful words、Why does it seem so dirty when politicians say it?。

The word Olympics itself is not a particularly beautiful word.、I never felt as if I had fallen to the ground as much as I do now.。Former Prime Minister postponed the Olympics for a year, calling for the Olympics to be held in a perfect manner.。Prime Minister Suga, who has declared that he will inherit that direction as faithfully as possible, is particular about the Olympics.、It's only natural that it's a public promise, so to speak.、The Prime Minister himself once said that he was moved by the Olympics.、Drag down what should be、Trampling、The person who is making it unclean is the person in question.、They probably don't realize that "safety and security" is repeated like an idiot's memorization.。In order to hold the event, we will not look back on “peace of mind” or “safety.”、Unusually unsympathetic、empty words。

“O・Mo・T・Na・Shi” is、A beautiful newscaster who can speak French、This is the word used in the Olympic bid campaign speech.。I remember that the message was that "hospitality" is a beautiful part of Japanese culture.、In modern Japan, ``hospitality'' means ``only superficiality'' or ``even if you have the desire, you don't have the money.''、It's a bunka (=cultural?) way of saying it.、most people feel。There was no way we would have known about the current coronavirus pandemic at the time.、If this disaster didn't happen、If many foreigners were visiting Japan、What is the “O・Mo・N・Shi” culture?、lots of、It will definitely be a memory that will never disappear。Ever since I heard her speech, I thought it was a bad way to say it.、It's so embarrassing that it's now a word that ordinary people can't use.。

Opening ceremony in 3 weeks、I don't remember it until I hear it on the news.、The Olympics in Tokyo are both near and far away.。more than done、Regardless of the past、It's a natural feeling to want players to do their best.。But、If the athletes perform well (in other words, if they win a lot of medals)、Our points will go up for holding the event.、If there are politicians who take a dismissive view of the players and the people,、I want to remind you that that is wrong.。The goal of an individual athlete may be a medal.。But、which country、to any player、I want them to demonstrate their abilities (I don't care about medals)、Many people honestly desire。Even those honest feelings、It seems like politicians are trying to take advantage of it again.。Be wary of both “safety and security” and “O・Mo・ten・na・shi”、Be careful。

violence of many

prominence sunset。It's like the end of the world (2021/06/21)

There is a judging process for art exhibitions.。According to the “common sense” of the world (Japan?)、It seems that many artists are "insane" people.、I'm a bit reserved and people say I'm a "weird person"。if、If such common sense is correct、Works selected by such people、It's funny to see people with common sense nodding their heads in agreement.。
In the past, there were even cases where there were no artists at all to judge large-scale art exhibitions.。Aren't you showing favoritism to an artist you know?、I think it's because they don't want the public to think that they're doing something wrong (though I don't know why they think it's only true for artists).、novelist、critic、museum director or curator、Sometimes politicians join in。
Although the examination results (text) are plausible,、what are you looking at、I can't trust you easily。Of course, I'm not saying it's absurd to say that novelists and politicians can't understand pictures.、It's no use protesting against it。This is because the opinion of an insane artist cannot become the majority.。

Is the majority always right?、If you ask me, many people will say that's not the case.。But、followed by “but”。"but、Isn't that true in most cases? ”。in this case、The words "correct" and "common sense" are very close together.、I think。
Common sense can be insane depending on the time and place.。Until relatively recently, urinating standing on the roadside was "common sense" in Japan.。According to books, this was true even for adult women in the Edo period.。Watching historical dramas、There are often many bamboo sticks leaning against the walls of houses.。そこにできる三角形の空間が一種の臨時トイレとして利用されていたらしい。小さなノズルで肛門まで自動的に洗うようになったこの国で、is。
　立小便が常識だったから、それを禁止する法律や教育で「正しさ」を「多数にする」ことが必要になったのだった。

多数派工作とは、自分（たち）の考えが正しいことを数で示そうとして、賛成してくれるよう他人に働きかけること。わたしたちは小学生の頃から、例えば学級会などでも多数決でいろんなことを決めてきた。多数派の意見が採用されるわけだから、考えがある人はそれを論じて他人を説得し、自分の意見、アイデアに賛成してもらう、つまり多数派を形成しようとするわけだ。あるいはその意見に与することで多数派の傘の下に入ろうとする。それをどこかで、民主主義という語に半分くらいすり替えられて教わってきたのだが、実は「数は力」という「実力行使の別の顔」の使い方を繰り返し学習してきたのだった。

　「でも、多くの場合正しいんじゃない？」とやっぱりわたしも思い、それに従ってきた。but、最近は「多数」とか「常識」ということを脅威に感じるようになってきた。
　芸術の世界では「個」以外に存在の価値はない（そもそも芸術家と自認する画家などいないのだが）。100人の画家がいても、みんな同じなどと考えている画家はいない。that's why、「多数という実力行使」＝暴力にはまったく無力である。そのことはコロナ禍にあって際立ってきたが、ことの本質はコロナがあろうとなかろうと、「多数が正しい」と信じる一種のカルト宗教が世間を支配していることに気がつかないか、気づかないふりをして多数派でいようとしている人々が圧倒的多数だという現実である。

Thoughts from one day's CG diary

2005Diary of December 31st

About 20 years ago, CG picture diaries looked like this (copied from data)。Before that, my picture diary was drawn in a sketchbook.)。Up until then, I was a lazy writer when it came to writing diaries.、Until my son was able to write his own diary.、It was a picture diary that I, as a parent, started to write down.。
It was a quick way to show it to the person who couldn't read yet, but it was a quick way to show it every morning.、When I tried it, I realized that there was no extra pressure on myself to create a "diary" where I didn't write about myself.、A homepage and picture diary with him as the main character、From just before he entered kindergarten until he graduated from junior high school、I was able to keep it interesting beyond my expectations.。
An artist friend of mine、I have an administrative contact book for my son's kindergarten.、Only one book in the world、Have fun、interesting、I was shown how it had been dramatically re-created as a precious record of growth.、It all started when I received a lot of inspiration.。

My son is ``born?'' good at computers.、When he was an older child in kindergarten、It is true that he was already my "computer teacher".。Due to the need to input Roman characters、I was the one who taught him the alphabet, ``Aiueo''、From there, he searched the internet on his own.、I absorbed more and more necessary knowledge.。

“Press any key” When the words appear on the computer screen、As a kindergartener, he immediately said, ``This means press a certain key,'' and I listened again.。Computers at that time were Windows. 3.0 mosquito 3.1 It should was。windows exploded 95 3 or 4 years ago。Even though I don't even know a single English word yet.、I can already understand the meaning of many English sentences just by feeling.、What I was using was、I think it's amazing even now that I think about it。
but、In fact, there are probably many parents who have had similar experiences.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、In fact, I think most parents are like that.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Children's abilities are extraordinary。They're like human-sized IPS cells.。You can be anything、Never over。Even on our parents' side、I'm sure it was like that when I was a child.。
-but、Why was this ability not developed? One of the reasons is the parents' responsibility.。The other thing is society's responsibility.、It is meaningless to consider these two separately.。In other words,、This means that it is the social environment, including parents, that deprives children of their abilities.。
however、It's not just about the immediate environment,、history、From things that include a time axis such as folklore、Humanistic environmental axis such as ideology and education、A huge space that includes all the spatial axes such as the natural environment in which you were born and raised.、it's mighty。I wrote "parental responsibility"、While struggling within such a huge thing, we can change the environment just a little.、This is too difficult for the parents individually.。

That's why、“It can’t be helped” is not enough.。including those of us who are already elderly.、Because the future of all people's ability to become anything depends on it.、It is true that there is no other way but to change things little by little.。
Although I am close to powerless, I believe that I am not zero.、Taking an ant's step towards a distance that seems infinite。
The fact that the space probe "Hayabusa" spent more than six years traveling back and forth to the asteroid "Ryugu" located 150 million km away touched many people.。Hayabusa is already heading toward a new asteroid for the next decade。If you accidentally、We may no longer be in this world before Hayabusa changes it to Earth again.、It is also true that people change things little by little.。The road to Rome begins with a single step。Rome is closer than Ryugu。
