How to be a critical thinker

「Green apple and a book(unfinished)」  2021 tempera on canvas

The title means something like ``How can I become a person who thinks things through?''。Critical means "critical"、Japanese-like、Rather than feeling like I'm against it、"I don't trust people's words easily.、Don't take things for granted. Don't pander to others.、The nuance of "thinking for yourself" seems to be stronger.。In Europe and America、Apparently they are trained to do this since childhood.。

"Think for yourself"。That's obvious、Even Japan is doing it、I think so。But、The current situation is that it is difficult for people to get to the point where they can ``present in public'' what they have come up with.。If you announce it, there will be reactions.。Not all things are positive。Both the presenter and the critic deepen their thinking.、The “content” of what you think with your head will deepen.。that's why、Publishing is a very important process.。

It is difficult to give presentations in Japanese schools.。Even if there is、Biased only in a certain direction、I also hear that people tend to have only favorable opinions.。Under such circumstances, it takes a lot of courage to dare to express an opposing opinion or question.。Teacher too、Are they afraid that children who express opposing opinions will be isolated?、Gather it in the right place。It would probably take some strength on the part of the teacher to take it a few steps further.。For example, NHK's "thorough discussion" is always far from "thorough".、I always think that it's probably because a similar psychology works.。

refute your opponent、Those who were able to persuade、In other words, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person who wins the argument is right.、That doesn't mean it's a good opinion.。反対意見によって自分の見落としや考えの足りないところを考え直し双方ともよりよい意見になることが良い討論でありそういう謙虚な姿勢があれば最終的に意見が一致するしないに関わらずそれぞれより深い考えに発展する

その意味で反対意見は貴重で大切なものだ。But、当然ながら発表することがなければ反対意見など出るわけはないこうした発表と討論の訓練を経ることで発表する前によく考えるようになり発表した後にもさらによく考えるようになる日本では選良中の選良であるはずの大臣ですらこのことがよく出来ていないのではないかと思うことがけっして少なくないのが残念である

Coffee mill

7I've been grinding coffee beans since the end of the month。Is this word "brewing" something that can be used for anything other than coffee? Regardless of the question、I always thought that the elegance of grinding beans and drinking them was great.、I didn't feel that way。

I've been spending my time alone instantly、So I wasn't particularly dissatisfied、Perhaps the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic made me feel that way。It's not a problem just because you grind beans。For now, I'm just brewing it all in the morning。Oh dear、I think it's a practice to see if it lasts for a long time。2It's been about a week but、It's getting a little more troublesome。

It's time to prevent chad gae this year too

「Apple and Book 」 2021   Tempera On Canvas

The day before yesterday morning、I felt it would be a little cooler、I checked camellia in the garden that I was interested in.。The purpose of inspection is to find the "Egg mass of Chaddum moth"。Carefully examine each leaf's front and back.、Find the egg-laided leaves and put them in a bag.、To throw away。If you do this, you can generally prevent the second outbreak in autumn (September to October).。

At first it seemed to be cool、30After all, sweat will bleed。Chadukga is、Even egg masses are surrounded by poisonous hairs.、Never touch it with your bare hands or skin。To do this, I wear a layered long sleeve shirt、If possible, wear thick rubber gloves.、Securely hold the cuffs。hat、Glasses、mask、Towels around the neck are also available。The legs are long rubber。It's hot just to wear this outfit in the middle of summer、You have no choice but to be prepared for this as a combat uniform。

Chad moths are probably the most "human damage" pests in garden trees.。Even though I think I'm completely vulnerable、He is a powerful enemy who has been forced to go to dermatology clinics many times before。After inspecting for about an hour and a half, about 10 leaves were cut out, including some suspicious ones.。If all of the eggs are Chad-Google, it means that the hatching of 7 to 800 to 1,500 larvae was prevented from hatching.。It's a pain if you miss the time when these hatch all at once。Not only will the leaves be eaten up in no time、家の中に飛び込んでくる成虫の蛾の毒毛の危険にもさらされることになる

汗びっしょりになった体を強いシャワーで流す万全の態勢で作戦を実施したつもりだったが袖口周りがヒリヒリと痒いどこからか毒毛が入り込んだに違いない注意したおかげで赤い発心はぽつぽつと小さいが痒みは鋭いずっと薬を塗り続けやっと今日になって落ち着いてきたチャドクガの卵塊排除はツバキサザンカ茶ノ木が庭にある人なら必ずやった方がいい時期は春先と今頃の2回必ず見落としがあるから、1週間ほど開けて、2~3回は点検する
