chaos

「Green Apple」 2020 is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake

"Chaos" is usually translated as "chaos" or "disorder"。This word is often used to mean "I can't find the answer" or "it's random."、here、It is used with a slightly mathematical meaning.。

Everyone can predict the future。Calculate how long it would take to go to a certain place by car at 30km/h、I call a friend to give me the estimated arrival time, including traffic jams.。In mathematics, things that can be predicted simply by calculation are called "linear."。1If you sow 100 kg of seeds on a hectare of land, you will get a harvest of 500 kg.。Then, if you sow 200 kg of seeds over 2 hectares next year, you can expect a harvest of 1000 kg.。This is also a kind of future prediction.。However, the price of seeds is unstable.、Not sure how many seeds you can buy、The relationship between planted area and yield cannot be easily predicted in conditions where the climate is unstable and heavy rain can uproot the crop.。In this way, various conditions are intricately intertwined.、(Predicting the future is not simple) This kind of thing is called "nonlinear" in mathematics.。This means that many things in daily life are nonlinear.。

Well then、Does chaos mean nonlinear?、That's what I'm thinking, but it seems a little different.。For example, let's say there is a weather forecast that says "light rain tomorrow afternoon."。Then I'll do the laundry tomorrow.、I'm thinking of going out the next day in the morning.。The weather map also confirms this.。The next day will be a laundry day as predicted.。But the day after next、The rain that was supposed to start in the afternoon started in the morning.、And even though it was raining heavily, I went out with an umbrella.、The rain stopped in the afternoon。Everyone has had such an experience.。Calculated from the weather map、I can predict it、The result is not what I expected。“The results may not (necessarily) turn out as expected.”。That's chaos (in a mathematical sense)。

Although the situation is similar、A small difference can make a big difference in the results。This is "chaos theory"、This is a mathematical theory published in 1961 by a meteorologist named Lorenz.。I think this theory is a good representation of the reality around us.。In the beginning, my drawings got better each time I drew.、It was fun and I was able to take on more and more challenges.、For some reason it's not fun these days。I have the technical ability to draw anything, but the results are inconsistent.。around the same time、I'm jealous of my friends who started in the same way and are drawing with Runrun...Isn't this chaotic?。If we change the conditions a little、I might be able to make a particularly wonderful picture tomorrow.。This is also chaotic。But、Just because you keep doing it hard doesn't mean you can produce great works one after another.。Everyday life is "nonlinear"。

Masks don't just cover your nose and mouth.

「Green apple」(unfinished) 2020

One month has passed since it was reported that patients with pneumonia caused by a new virus appeared in Wuhan, China.。At first, there were 5 to 6 people involved in the wet market.、I was hospitalized all at once.、A video was shown of people disinfecting the area to suspect that the infection may have come from food.。

It quickly became popular、A metropolis with over 10 million people living in it、Wuhan’s de facto “lockdown”、Ban on travel from Hubei province。Not only within China, such as refusing entry to each country for those staying in the province.、international issues, including human rights issues;、It seems to be causing an almost emotional reaction.。radio、On TV (although the way it is reported is a bit unusual)、Related news such as masks being sold at abnormally high prices online、Reported on the top every day。

Regarding the cruise ship “Diamond Princess” calling at Yokohama Port and quarantine、The Japanese government's inability to manage crises is gradually becoming clearer.。I am saddened by the fact that the prime minister and other ministers lack the ability and imagination to grasp the situation.、I'm really surprised。The phrase "leaving it to the field" is still a favorable opinion.、The point is, all you have to do is maintain a posture that says, “We are dealing with it.”。I don't feel any seriousness there.。Some critics defend it by saying it's because they're not used to it.、Japan dispatches medical teams around the world whenever an emergency arises.。The experiences and lessons learned from that、I realized that it would not be utilized at all in my own country.、As a taxpayer, should I readily accept this?。

Cruise ships, etc. where people from various countries board、We need to be particularly sensitive to international human rights issues.、That should be the reason why politicians exist.、Leaving the countermeasures meeting after 3 or 6 minutes (afterwards)、Prime Minister having a 3-hour dinner with businessmen, minister absent (to attend a support meeting), etc.、People who cannot judge national priorities、This means that they are forming a cabinet that advocates "national interest."。Originally, Japan is a country where awareness and knowledge of "human rights" is extremely low.、The government is proving this ``naturally.''、I can see the pathos of a previous era.。

But、If you think about it, it's all our responsibility.。choose that person、I continue to support such a government.。But、But、But、It is also a ``bad'' educational effect that has been repeated over a long period of time.。For example, under the slogan "Develop individuality"、Contradiction between “expected human image” and “cooperativeness”。A teacher who cannot distinguish between “criticism/criticism” and “blame”、education committee、presence of politicians。"freedom of expression"、Limit the meaning of "freedom" to as small as possible、Expressions that only old people can understand are lumped together and viewed as ``selfish''、Our "extremely small amplitude" society。ah。somehow、In order not to go astray、It's like I've actually closed off the road.。by the way、Masks also have the ability to restrict breathing.。

I want to go fishing

「Green Apples」 2020 water color

It's been many years now、I haven't gone fishing in the river or the sea.。Both river (lake) fishing rods and sea fishing rods.、Some sleep in the space under the stairs.。There are many types that do not use lures (fish-shaped baits) or worms (insect-shaped baits).。Fluorescent float with lithium battery for night fishing、headlight、life jacket、Shoes for the beach... (probably) all ready for immediate use.。

The owner of the Chinese restaurant I used to frequent when I was a student (of course the prices were for students) loved fishing.、People mistook my sketching backpack and easel set for fishing gear.、“Where did you go fishing today?” over and over again、I asked questions from behind the counter every time.。Thinking about it now, ``that's the good thing about fishing.''、I'll give this person a special service.。Isn't it good? ” I think he was hinting to the other customers in the store.。What kind consideration。At that time, I couldn't take such consideration seriously.、“I can’t believe I don’t even know the difference between fishing tools and sketching tools.、I thought maybe my eyesight is bad.。It's embarrassing though、I can finally understand it now。

In England at one time、It is said that the ``duty of a father'' that he must convey to his son is ``fishing'' (manners).。“(Trout) fishing” and “(Fox) hunting” are、It was a ``required subject'' that every ``noble boy'' must master (apparently).。in isolation、To the successive shoguns of the Edo shogunate, who were disconnected from European culture.、There is a fact that ``Falconry'' was made a required subject (there are many cases that cannot be described as ``coincidence'').。I don't necessarily approve of that, but、Why “fishing”?、I really wanted to know what it meant.。so、I read Walton's ``Encyclopedia of Diaoyu'' (this is a masterpiece).。

If someone says, ``There's no need to learn from Britain,''、I have no choice but to be silent。But I'm angry、Please show me the ``reason'' to assert that ``there is no need for that.''、It is normal to say about。
