The point of no-return「 帰還不能点」とは、たとえば飛行機が飛び立った空港へ引き返すには燃料が足りず、もう戻れない（その先で解決するしかない）という点（位置）のことだという。何だか人生にもそんな点があるような気がして、心に残る語だ。

2021年4月16日の今なら、「東京オリンピック」はもう帰還不能点を過ぎているだろうか。過ぎているとすれば、それはいつからだったのかを振り返り、そのときどんな判断が可能だったのか検証してみることはけっして無駄なことではないと思う。今のオリンピックへの進み方は、かつて中国北東部で関東軍が次々と戦線を拡大し、政府も国民もそれに引きずられるようにして、やがて悲惨な結果に陥った状況にどこか似ている気がする。

「帰還不能点」は当然ながら計算可能である。飛行機に積める燃料の量は決まっており、その半分を過ぎれば帰ってこれないことくらい小学1年生でも解る。帰還不能点を過ぎて何かトラブルが起きた時、問題をそれ以上拡大させないためにはどんな方法があるか、航空会社ならば当然考えておくべき責任がある。もしも考えていないならば「想定外」という言葉の使用を許すことはできない。「トラブルは必ず起こると想定する」ことが常識だからである。

東京オリンピック開催か中止かが、すでに判断の帰還不能点を過ぎているとすれば、当然これから起こること（トラブル）への回避策は、国家プロジェクトでもある以上、二重三重に考慮されているはずである。航空会社同様、「想定外」の使用は許されない。なぜオリンピックが1年延期されたかを知らない人はいるまい。But、現在の政府のバタバタぶりを見る限り、結局は鎌倉時代の「蒙古襲来」での「神風」のような僥倖を信じているのではないか、という気がしてならない。Moreover,、これまでも事あるごとにそのような気持ちにさせられてきたのだからなおさら。

A farce called "Torch Relay"

The "Torch Relay" campaign for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which is one year behind, began at J-Village in Fukushima Prefecture.。I started in Fukushima prefecture、The former Abe administration, which advocated the "Reconstruction Olympics,"、This is to appeal to the inside and outside that the influence of the nuclear power plant is all Under Control (actually, even after 10 years.、It does not stand even the prospect of taking out the debris, but)。

I watched the video of the "Torch Relay" event in Fukushima Prefecture on the Internet.。The beginning is a huge bus of Coca-Cola Company。Behind them, the buses of sponsor companies line up one after another.、Employees or volunteers dressed in red waving their hands along the road and running around、Distribute PET bottles to people who line up and applaud。I don't know where the essential runners are。What on earth is this "mere stupid fuss"?。Why this happens。Why aren't NHK and other major media outlets reporting this as it is?。

There is only one reason。The Olympics and Paralympics are not for athletes and sports lovers、Not at all for "proof of overcoming corona"、Because it's all in the interests of sponsors and IOC officials.。More than half of the people question or oppose the current Olympics、While some countries have withdrawn from participating in the event under Corona as it does not benefit the health of the athletes.、With the departure of the "Torch Relay," which can be said to be a push、This is the first event of a sponsor company。Awareness of sponsor companies that "at least want to pay for advertising expenses"、The true intention of the IOC, who wants to get a huge broadcasting rights fee, is clearly revealed.。

Drop the beautiful sound of "the torch" on the ground、This ugly event that tramples even more double and triple、It can be said that it is an act of desecrating sports as much as possible.。The IOC will take the lead in waving the flag、It is nothing but the philosophical suicide of the IOC itself。Oh dear、You probably realize that such a philosophy has no meaning other than the advertising effect.。The biggest victims are the players。Organizing Committee and Sponsors、Between the people、I think I'm in a situation where I can hardly say what I really mean。The word "torch" is appropriate for athletes。Don't let the money dead。Not a "torch relay"、At best, it should be called something like "Olympic sponsorship relay"。Under such circumstances、How to enjoy the Tokyo Olympics、I have no choice but to throw my brain into muddy water。

10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake

Model for March 11th

10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake。I started this blog right after the earthquake ("Aoi Kamome" itself started as a homepage).、3rd generation on this blog。(Already over 20 years) It will also be 10 years。

Everyone sympathizes with (and not only) the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.、Have a desire to help as much as possible。it can be believed。But、Touching on disaster reports from various places、Every time I think about it, I feel like the pain in my chest increases.。The forces of nature that are beyond the control of disaster victims、The poverty of the aid system there、That's the essence of pain。

The phrase ``Japan is a disaster-prone country'' also spills from the corners of politicians' mouths every time.。Rescue goods and medical technology are advancing.。But、The system is basically the same as it was in the Edo period.。Evacuation centers have changed from temples and shrines to gymnasiums.、Old clothes have been turned into blue sheets and disaster blankets.。So pitiful、I feel sorry for you、It ends at the emotional level of patience (though of course it's better than not having any friction at all)。In addition to playing innocent words such as "snuggling" and gentle music,、Is it not possible to come up with a way of thinking that will lead to more concrete results?。Consideration for human rights, etc.、In fact, it seems that it has deteriorated since the Edo period.。

engineer、Not only natural scientists、We need active opinions from experts in all fields.。現状では政府や首長たちの諮問を待つ少数の専門家だけが、彼らの意向に沿うような方向性を述べるだけのように見える。わたしたちももっと考え、発言し、彼らを動かさなくてはならない。そういう意識を持つことが大切だ、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。「復興」という言葉を聞くたびに、それが「人を呼び込む」とか「経済の活性化」とか、まるで選挙運動か商店街の寄り合いのような言葉に置き換えられているのを感じる。ゴールの具体的な姿への議論がないまま、「復興」という感情的なイメージだけが先行しているように感じる。「これが復興という意味だったの？」という絶望に変わらないことを。
