On the day my father died, my father came back home for the first time in a month.

That night, I slept together next to my father's body.

I had to keep candles and incense until the wake, however, the funeral company had said "Before going to bed, please turn off the fire", for fire preventation.

On that day, a huge typhoon called typhoon 12 was supposed to hit the this area, but it was not a low temperature, and a hot night.

The person in charge said to me that "please keep turning on the air conditioner all day.

In this hot weather, air conditioners are essential not only for living people, but also for dead people.

It is because I must prevent deterioration of the body.

That night, I set the temperature of the cooler considerably low, and I felt a bad cold feeling.

(I was pointed out by my relatives at a later date, "you should have used a futon for winter")

-----

I understood that my father's face gradually changed over time.

When I saw his face for the first time, he had a mild face that really felt asleep,

The next day, the carving of his face got deeper, and became a fearless face,

The face with death makeup was like an actor in Takarazuka (probably, I thought the impact of lipstick was great)

"No way"

"His face is not like this"

"This face is not his. I don't want anyone to remember my father with this his face".

-----

In the room, there was a picture when my father celebrated my birthday in the facility of day service,

I insisted that "No matter what I think, there is only this picture. The background is a light colored pink gradation", and I had my sister convince you.

My father's life was wild, and often struggling. I am afraid that there was few fun time for his life.

However, I believe that he was a person who can smile like this, and there were a lot of happy times that such a smile can happen.

(1)Greetings of my father's wake

"Thank you very much for your time, even you are busy today"

"I really appreciated it that you had a close relationship with my father, Kazuo Ebata"

"Here, I would like to let you know a little story about my father's final appearance"

"My father quietly took his last breath at 6 AM yesterday.

"Is not he just sleeping?" It is hard for me to believe it ... He was a healthy face and did not seem to suffer... "

At this time, I remembered that I arrived at the hospital yesterday morning, I cried out loudly, hugging my father's death face, decided to be "only one minute".

I was unable to put the following words out, and kept choking up for more than 10 seconds --- For me, I got rare experiences.

I am a non-typical Japanese who can continue talking by several presentations at conferences or ceremonies. However, as long as I remember, I had "interrupted my speech" for the first time in my life.

-----

After that, I took a deep breath a couple of times, I resumed my greetings.

"I was very sorry that I showed you something ugly"

"I will tell you here that my father never suffered seriously and he took my breath. I would like to have peace of mind for you"

"It is easy, however I would like to express my gratitude and greetings to you"

"Thank you very much for today"

When I finish my greetings and raise my face, many participants got misty-eyed, relatives also held a handkerchief to their eyes, and my family were --- more than me

-----

After the evening, as a mourner, I had to stay at the funeral hall. Before that, I put my family on the car and sent it to my parents' house.

At that time, from the wife, she pointed out

"Not a "healthy face" but a "peaceful face"

From my daughter, she said

"I really was surprised because I did not think you would cry in public"

During my assignment to the US, "Mike" who was next to my partition, died, and I experienced a funeral in the United States.

There was a hall like a little concert venue in the church, and a lot of people, as if all people in the town.

Several people talked about memories of the deceased at the stage of the hall, and the participant listened to the story and was raising

"very loud laugh"

-----

In the story when the deceased was playing tennis,

"When it became a final match, when the opponent's smashed came in at the end of the court, and we got a sorry sigh. But He shouted out loud - "Just!" (*)

(*) In general tennis, we play games with such a self judge.

In other words, he said "he was a funny and fun guy that the deceased is vulgarious about winning", and he was inviting the laughter of the venue.

I have been in the US for two years, and I feel that "there are about half a wonderful culture and a non-wonderful culture in the United States"

Among them, I think that the funeral "to remember the deceased with smiling" goes into the top class of a wonderful culture.

(However, you need to think a little, that among the United States, "Fort Collins" in Colorado, had large IT companies and a state university and most people were intellectual people)

-----

In comparison, to review the funeral in our country

- Odorless meaning Unknown senescence, smell of incense sticks

- Participants who can not do anything other than burning incense by walking

- Buddhist sermon, we do not know what they were talking about, and worse than our newcomer presentation.

- With ordinary, no substitute greetings by the mourner

"What on earth is it for anyone?"

"Is not the funeral to remember the deceased?"

I always think it again and again.

-----

I was self-evaluating "Speech Failure" on the previous evening's greeting, and I was planning to recover from the mourning greeting at the main funeral.

It is not a story of "people like everywhere". I will talk about my father's story with my feelings and in my words (and within a minute)"

-----

At the venue in the late night night without anyone, I was continuing to elaborate the contents of my speech, by myself in front of my father in the coffin.

(2)Greeting from the mourning of the funeral

"Thank you very much for your time, even you are busy today"

"I really appreciated it that you had a close relationship with my father, Kazuo Ebata"

"Now I am looking your faces today, I think that all of you are almost my family. So from now, I would like to feel free to remember father with you"

-----

"My father seems to have been quite active, even from his son's view"

"For example, when I was a primary school student, my father pulled me through deep snow and brought me to the point of fishing around a river, and let me fish in the extreme cold, Though I was a child, I thought "what on earth is he thinking ?"

"However I knew well that he was overflowing with is mind, "he would like others to enjoy what he felt fun".

"If there is a word to express the father, it must be "honesty",to try to deliver his thoughts straight to the others --- sometimes it was annoying. I think that was the essence of my father.

"To be honest" is often a lot of losses. Especially for my father who had operated the company, I think that it was not all good for him.

"However, in my life, I have come to know that "honesty" is never inferior to "not honesty"

"And I think that my father's life that has been honest, is the utmost proof of what he got friendly from all of you.

"I will burn it strongly to my heart now, I think I will keep it in my future life"

-----

"Well, I would like you to see the father's face after my greeting, I am afraid that my father 's face feels "cool" than before, and I feel a sense of incompatibility"

"So, I would like to ask you that you will take my father's memory with this father's picture, not that of the coffin.

"My father with smile full faces, I have rarely seen.

Please remember this father's smile"

-----

"It is easy, however I would like to express my gratitude and greetings to you"

"Thank you very much for today"

I worked as "mourners" for the first time in my life, but most preparations were done by a funeral service company.

I felt like I was "canned" moving over the factory's production line, but honestly I was relieved with my heart.

The persons of the funeral service company advised what I should have done, and the preparation for the funeral progresses. S I was given a lot of ease.

For researchers in the system, which are pushed down to the brain's mind, to speed up, to increase efficiency, to save costs usually, I think,

"There are so many things to learn from this structured funeral system"

-----

Well, I think that this is due not only to my job, but also to my mind.

I don't care about sects, family crests, relatives, attendees social status at all.

I am not interested in funeral hall location, design, flower arrangement, telegram, monk's sermon, etc.

To be honest, I just wanted to do a "farewell party with my father", but the others were out of my scope.

-----

Nonetheless, my father is not my personal possession.

My father had walked with others for his life.

So, I do not think I should go behaving selfishly, and I think that providing the opportunities for farewell to his father is the work of the mourner.

-----

In addition, the funeral is a place to objectively show the status of the deceased and its relatives - I cannot deny the fact.

A big venue, many flowers, and many participants will show the credit of the deceased and a pride of the family.

Especially for asset owners, politicians, executives of companies and shops, where blood-related relationships have important meanings, there may be implications of "showcase of successors".

This is the same in wedding ceremonies as well.

These thoughts are based on as individualism's assertiveness, or rooted in customs in the regional culture. So I don't think that we make them poor.

-----

Even so, I still do not think that all of them will go beyond the will of the deceased.

The funeral against "the intention of the deceased" should not be forgiven.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Well, on this occasion, now I declare "I will not do my funeral".

This does not means,

"I decline my funeral"

but

"I refuse to implement my funeral in an absolute sense"

Of course, I will feel very happy, a people I want to meet, comes to meet me.

However, although it is a really small number, there are

"the persons who I don't meet even after my death"

I cannot bear, the person will say condolences and look down on me (because I will be in a coffin), even if it is an imagination.

Anyway, I will not able to shout from inside the coffin,

"Go home! Idiot! Why did you come here?"

This is really frustrating.

In addition, the guy is subject not to notice that "I hated and hatred him from the bottom of my heart"

They guy might say that "I was dependent on Ebata" and "We are real best friends" with saying a lie in peace.(Because I will hate or hate them).

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

The existence of such a person can cause the crush of my family.

-----

Initially, I also thought that it would be good to prepare a "black list" in advance.

However, I am sorry to have such a troublesome task as a mourner of my funeral(It will be a fuss in the funeral hall)

Also, most participants will fear and decline attendance, because of the black list.

After all, the "funeral" will not be established.

-----

In addition, this black list is ironically returning to me like a boomerang.

"Where is the guarantee that you (Ebata) is included in the black list?"

For me, I think "I do not want the guy like me, to come to the funeral."

As a matter of fact, I think that people who are preparing for the black list or who want to prepare it in their mind, are not zero.

However, it is impossible for the mourner to guess the black list in the hearts of the deceased.

The conclusions drawn from these studies are that I have to make a reasonable effort by myself with a strong will, about my own death. that means,

"Rejection of funeral practice"

-----

When I told this story to my wife, she said

"it is a "direct burial" isn't it?"

(*)A ceremony with a few close friends, omitting wake and funeral

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

When I look it up on the net, I will have plenty of information about "direct burial".

The reason why people can choose "direct burial",

(1) Economic circumstances (there is no money)

(2) Changes in the view of religion (I do not have to call a monk as there is no faith in particular)

(3) Dilution of human relations (Since there is no participant, it is not necessary to do a funeral)

And, each is a good reason.

In my case, it is (2) (3).

As in (1), money may be gone, even if I have money, I will recommend going an overseas trip and learning a language and culture of the country with the money for my family

Many people in the city center seems to choose "direct burial". Because urban areas tend to avoid such "disturbance".

Conversely, in rural areas it will be hard to do "direct burial". There are complaints from neighbors as well as relatives.

"Do not something" may require the same or even more energy than "doing something".

Even if I am alone, I will accept a challenge to a quarrel. However in this case, the target will not be me but my "survivor".

-----

All these stories are acknowledged by family members - although conditional.

My family has ordered me that "Make it clear by handwriting for our safety" (Because it will annoy me, I will tell them that digitally sign for blogs in the last few days, is enough.

In the end of the sentence, I will add the following sentences.

"The reason I decided not to do my a funeral, is YOU, who annoys my family. I don't want you to come to me"

"After reading this, go away"

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Before I realized, I seem to have become a materialist.

However, I think that I am not someone like an atheist. but I also think

"Both people who claim "God exists" and people who claim "God doesn't exist" might insist on their intention (even if it is a waste of time)

"I do not care whether there is a God or not, (I am not interested in it , I do not know it, and I do not expect it).

"However in my case, I think that it is easier to understand, if there is no God

It is a loose material historical view (however I like a Bible or myths as stories).

-----

I wonder when I started my this unique materialism historical view. It was the time I met "Neural Network Wah" and "Genetic Algorithm (GA)".

In my era of graduate students, it was really dramatical impact for me that even more simple Neural Network with seven nodes, could realize nonlinear separation of space (XOR problem).

If nonlinear separation (high dimensional grouping) was possible with only seven neurons, we, human beings who has

- Human brain with 100 billion neuros and 150 trillion synapses,

- A 0.75GB DNA map describing a perfect human blueprint,

- Natural selection process of natural environment

"even if we do not have a god, we could make us "as is""

I came to think that.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Besides this, there is also the idea that "the soul after death" is "the mind of life".

However, if you know that medicine that you give from a psychosomatic department can changes the state of the human mind easily,

you will think that the human mind is only one of the states of "chemical change" that it can easily be controlled with medicine.

So, I am thinking about this fact.

"human soul after death" is easy changeable even by medicine?"

Well, no way. I can not even deceive me by myself.

If such a thing is "human soul"

"The soul floating in the air can be rested in peace by insecticide"

I think that.

-----

I come to think that "there is no big difference between the death of a human being and the shutdown of a personal computer."

If there is a difference, it is the point that human death is "there is no restart"

It is important that only one point "I can never meet a deceased person"

"we had lots of things", "I am lonely" "I want to see you again if I can, and

"That's all"

I don't need unnecessary things like, "God" or "religion" or "Buddhist service" at all,

-----

I returned to my parents house once two months and 3 consecutive holidays a year (my sister frequently went to my father)

In the kitchen, I liked the time writing the manuscript with a personal computer, with looking at my father who was sitting in front of the TV all day in the living room

"I liked the time to think about the menu of my father's dishes,"

I liked the time to eat together with my father without a single word of conversation (and when my father completed the dish, I made a small guts pose)

-----

I liked that time I had with my father, and I feel very, very lonely that I can not have that time again,

Only this feeling is my pleasure.

That is enough.

Previously, I wrote a diary saying "Ms. Miyuki Nakajima of the singer should be given a national honor award."

-----

Even for just this week, I was

teared by the phrase of "Mayuri Shiina" of Stein's Gate Zero 17th episode

burst into laughter by the shout of "red blood cell" of "working cell" the 5th episode.

Therefore, I think that,

Ms. Hanazawa Kana, voice actress who has continued giving breath to countless animated characters,

should be given a national honor award.

-----

I think that animation in Japan is already on a stage, to remove "sub" from "subculture"

How do you think that this a good chance ?

I think that you can leave my name in history > M. Prime Minister of Japan.

After my father's death, both my sister and I have to do the procedure about his account and insurance for my mother. However mother is at a home for the old.

So we had to work as agents of my mother just after my father's funeral.

Though, Many people had already written it, the most difficult procedure is to prove that "we were real father's children, and we have proper qualify as my mother's agent.

-----

How can we prove that we were real father's children at law ?

This is not so difficult. We can show the copy of my father's family register, and deacquisition of both my sister and me. In addition, we can show the copy of my family register and I have already made a new census register.

The problem is to prove "my father was himself"

In order to prove this fact, we have to gather all document of his census register as his birth records.

The next day of the funeral, my sister and I went to the city hall to remove my father's name from the register.

Next, I had to go the city hall of my father's family home, and get his census register for his birth certificate.

I borrowed the from my sister, and drove the car, given into smartphone GPS and Google map and arrived at the city hall after one-half hour.

As is to be expected, the office seemed to be used to their works. I came to know an unexpected fact here.

The place where the city hall manages was not my father's birth place(that means. my father had moved before)

Ebata:"You said that I have to go another city hall from now, don't you ?"

The office:"Yes, it is"

Ebata:"Can you assure that the next city hall will be the terminal ?"

The office:"No, we can't. If you find the new information of register, I am sorry but you should go the next city hall"

Ebata:"Can you check the information here"

The officer:"No we can't. We have just information that belonged in the competence of this city hall"

I thought that it was natural.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

After calling my sister, and telling "might be impossible to finish it", I restarted the cruise.

In order to find my father's birth place, I drove the car to arrive at the next city hall, through a wooded area, along a coast, and in an industrial zone.

The cruise was done under the killing shining in the murderous heat, however I could enjoy driving in the air-conditioned car.

-----

I thought

"My father had lived his life, watching these landscapes"

with driving as following his tracks of his life.

-----

Fortunately, the cruise was terminated at the next city hall, however when I read the copy of family register, I was really surprised.

There was over ten people names in the copy, I felt in suspense that it was almost impossible to find my father's name. (Finally I could find it at the bottom lines.)

I understood that

There were three families in the same place, and one of the families had several children.

There were almost "class" or "colony" not "family"

At least, in the copy, I could not find the concept of "declining birth rates".

-----

After all, I continued the cruise about four hours and drove around the peninsula of his birth place. And I could start on my return home.

This time was scant rather than the period of my father's life, however,

I could enjoy the cruise because I had a feeling that I could play back his life quickly.

In the past, I failed to park the kindergarten where my daughter passed, and I had destroyed the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

It was a long time, about years ago, but it was still in the middle of a hot summer.

I got pale.

"In this intense heat, if children were inside a classroom with no air conditioner, they definitely die"

From the moment of the accident, I contacted the insurance company as fast as possible, using objective insurance. I requested "replacement" instead of "repair" of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

At the moment, I thought that the fastest operation of the air conditioner was the top priority.

-----

Of course, I kept asking the insurance company for maximum pressure, and I also contacted the kindergarten headmaster and also asked him the insurance companies to put the pressure.

Head: "I do not need to do that."

Ebata:"Pardon me?"

Head: "Even without air conditioning for about a week, children should bear them."

Ebata: "No, no, if the child is a heat stroke, the possibility of death ..."

Head: "Our children can do it."

Even if I answered the question five times, at last the director never changed his opinion.

"Oh, this man is useless even if I talk"

I though him as one phrase,

"Uncorrectable stupid"

I felt a bottomless fear of the fact of a person who never tried to study the recent trend of climate change, the change of the constitution of children, and had anachronism who misleaded psychology and education

If this idiot is still doing the kindergarten headmaster, the life of the kindergarten's child is seriously dangerous.

-----

If you personally know me, and who lives near me, and if you would like to know the name of this kindergarten, please contact me.

I will teach you loudly.

If you can, please spread in the word of mouth.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

After I judged that the kindergarten headmaster was "uncorrectable stupid", I started negotiations, not battle with the insurance company.

-----

Insurance company:"At the moment, there is a possibility of "repair", so we can not make a decision on "exchange" right now."

Ebata:"I see. I understand that "your company will bear the damages entirely" about the inaction of infant death if the infant dies due to the delay in setting up the outdoor unit. You can agree can't you?"

Insurance company:"..."

Ebata: "I understand now that" I was warned against infants hospitalization due to heat stroke and death, so I will be totally exempted from this matter. You can agree can't you?"

Insurance company:"..."

Ebata:"Now I will record this conversation from now."

Insurance company:"..."

Ebata:"Since I will do the same question again, please answer the same. Also, in a conversation, I will ask your name and today's date and time, so please also answer that. "

Insurance company: "... I will consult my boss soon"

Ebata:"That is fine, but if the child fails or dies during the consultation, I will testify in court "Because of your negligence in the business of omission, not "your company's negligence "

-----

On the next day, parts exchange was completed and the air conditioner was ready for use.

"I want an AI agent that can help procedures of pension, insurance, and inheritance for an deceased"

"Bon holiday" that is Japanese traditional about one week summer holiday, is the best period to make a progress for the procedure, because most Japaneses companies will set the holiday, and city offices and banks is in business.

I stay at my parent house and continue to the procedures. And I feel fatigue very much.

-----

Everyday is "traveling salesperson problem", including, city halls, polices, post offices, hospitals and banks.

In addition, I realize that the solver (solving algorithm) is just a toy using mathematical models and computers.

That means,

(1)I cannot know the waiting time of each point, before(Sometimes, it is surprisingly fast, or disgustingly late)

(2)In the traveling, I notice that I have to add a new point to visit.( The conditions are changeable dynamically)

Moreover,

(3)More than two player should be added in this problem, and resources(persons and time) are changeable everyday

In conclusion, "the condition of problem will not be fixed"

-----

Question: If we enforce to make this "AI agent", what will happen?

Answer; It is useless.

Reasons: No method to mediate several persons intention, No mechanism to set exceptions, and need several days just to install initial condition.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

By the way,

This time I have used the Shinkansen ticket reservation system "Smart EX", and deeply moved.

First of all,

(1)The whole ticket-vending machine is coming to my PC.

And

(2)I can pass the Shinkansen ticket gate by IC card of commuter pass.

This should be "emotional experience", I think.

I know that this is just one-stop ticketing service, and doesn't have any special innovative technical point as a system.

Of course, I know well that there are a lot of difficult solutions for system management, backup and several trouble-shooting methods."

-----

Some the stupid , who come to use the word "AI", referring to this "Smart EX", appear in mass media.

So in this staying period, I had to change the TV channel again and again.

For me, when the AI agent who can manage the inheritance for an deceased, I will discharge "the stupid"

I studied the word "personification" with wikipedia.

"A method of metaphor giving human nature and characteristics with things other than humans as people"

Well, although I understand so far,

"The pencil flew from the hand"

"The tree jumped on the way in front of my car"

"U.S. Defends Sale of Ports Company to Arab Nation"

Looking at the above examples, I know "personification I have thought" is quite different from them.

(I also wrote personification columns of "Japan", "artificial intelligence" or "EtherCAT"),

-----

"Personification I have thought" is about characterization for me, and I have introduced them well until now repeatedly.

Recently,

- Standing modern history

- Working cells

make me fun very much, I am crazy for comics, based on "Characteristics of the people of a prefecture"

"At the place where I live"

-----

Some people think that "giving a character for each prefecture" might be

a danger of misunderstanding, as same persons who believe that "blood type and personality are related"

The author's "Mogura" is sufficiently explained that "the person's personality is not determined by the place of origin" (The way of this explanation is also pretty good).

Based on that, "giving a character for each prefecture" feels good for me.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Basically it is 4 comic manga, and as for me, the special reading which appears in the second half of each volume really can cry.

I love all the stories, but I dare to pick up my favorite story,

- World heritage registration of Iwami Ginzan (Volume 3)

->The other day, the reason why I am crazy is this at Izumo Taisha.

- Four bridges between Honshu and Shikoku, and Hanshin Awaji Great Earthquake (Volume 1)

->I remembered participating in the earthquake volunteer

- Fireworks festival in Akita (Volume 4)

-> The story of Berlin Wall is masterpiece

- Elimination of Strange Disease (Volume 4)

-> moved to the story as an engineer

- History of Japan-US friendly goods doll (Volume 5)

-> Stupidity of myopic international hatred

- Yosakoi Festival (Volume 2)

-> Masterpiece to ask about regional development and the significance of living

I think that this is also due to personal preference (the second daughter says "the story of a doll is the best").

-----

I can look at the enormous amount of study by Mr. Mogura who is the author, and stacked materials like mountains, reading these books

I think that it is the ability to be a little away from humans, with assembling a story of "personification", from these enormous information.

-----

It is very easy for me to accept because of each person's preference, thought some people (my wife) say "personification content".

Many of my knowledge are obtained by the efforts of those who are doing their best with "personification content" like this. When I think so, I will be full of gratitude.

Today, new my column is released, so I take a day off.

Over the AI (24) Extra edition：This is the seriousness of a engineer

"Steins Gate" and "BEATLESS". Let me verify the feasibility of the AIs in animations

-----

For me, the biggest result of writing this column is that I was able to understand the effect of "Analog Hack" from the bottom of my gut.

"Analog hack" is used to mean "machines hack humans", however, I think that it might be O.K. to use in the sense that "humans hack humans".

- Briefly bowing to the latter person, before reclining the seat of Shinkansen.

- When a car approaches while walking on a pedestrian crossing, trying to pretend to "trot" as I noticed the car

- Do not criticize, pretend to be in sync on the surface, even if it is a foolish opinion of an urgent boss

-----

There is no problem that these are not your flattering, but

"You are doing "analog hack" against others"

No extra "kindness", "sincerity", "courtesy", or such things are necessary for these actions.

Even if you do not want to "take power", the implementation cost of "analog hack" is scary "cheap", considering "insurance to avoid troubles in advance"

For example, the content of this column I wrote before, is a typical "analog hack".

"Everyone does cool to IT system". For example,

(1)"My wife suspected an affair of me" by error detection from GPS system of the smartphone.

(2)"I was shaken out of bed in the mid night" by an accident warning audible signal from emergency earthquake alert system

(3)"I was ignored by the other" by delivery delay of e-mail and SNS.

By the above case, not a few people come to be inflamed with rage.

However, I think that this accidents are inevitable because malfunctions occur and performance come down in any system. If anything, I think "they are natural".

-----

(1)Location detection functions of GPS go out of order, if the system lost the GPS satellite. The errors extend to more than ten kilometer.

(2)The emergency earthquake alert system is useless against inland earthquakes, and the alert should sound, even when the existence of earthquake is not fixed.

Above all, most message communication system don't guarantee the arrival, and never in realtime.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

To begin with, "system" should repeat the failures and there is no way except for learning many things from the failure.

Especially, social infrastructure system, sometimes run into big accidents, killing many people, in order to realize "ideal situation".

So, I believe that nuclear power plants will come to change "Super-Ultra safety system" through more than from several to over ten times of big serious accident (classes of "level 7" ), like Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant, Chernobyl nuclear plant and in Fukushima.

-----

There is no system that never causes an accident in the world.

Any system should be managed with being regarded "an accident will occur"

Please tell me the perfect-safe system from the beginning. even if the system works.

If there is such a system, I will change my mind in three second, as "going over" or "turnabou",

By the way, after the accident in Fukushima, the voice of technicians who had repeated self-criticism has not been heard recently.

-----

In any case, the GPS system, the Earthquake Early Warning System, and the SNS, even if they cause problems, should not have done as much as "to kill you".

Please look them, based on generous-hearted vision.

Recently I enjoy reading the manga comic whose title is "howling a local woman (be Setoguchi Mizuki-san)"

Three comics has already been released until now, however for me, this might be the first time to buy all comics within 5days.

In these comics, there are a lot of keen and wit phrases and I will steal.. no, way quote them in my columns.

For a "ridiculous" question from a boss, like, "Who is close to me, if I had been a warring lord?"

"You were an infantry weren't you?"

"You are really shameless because you are not even a president. Much less to liken a warring lord to you "

the man who gave out and was demoted to Shizuoka pref.

and

"Drinking party is a labor without allowance for overtime work, however we can endure to think it is a work"

the woman who gave a toast and returned her local(Shizuoka) from Tokyo,

and the mannerist others make a daily life in Shizuoka pref.

In these comics, "Mt.Fuji" and "Tokugawa Ieyasu (the original general of Edo Period)" come to appear anywhere, and they make me enjoy very much.

And the above is a prolegomenous.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Relatively cool days have continued for about a week, but recently the heat days has come back again.(However I did not think that I called the day of temperature 30 degrees "cool" in my life)

Frankly speaking, I cannot sleep well without air-conditioner. If not sleeping well, it might be no problem. However, I have to exchange for life.

The person who has a creed of "Nuclear Power Plants are needed and we have to keep and manage them, should argue his/her article of faith with this "blistering heat" in this summer.

However I have never read such arguments before.

(To tell you the truth, it is not unknown thing, but) the present Japan is in trouble handling power surplus. This is the normal knowledge for our engineer. (I will write the column about this issue)

So, unfortunately, this "blistering heat" might not be a "value of hostage"

Set it aside,

-----

Recently I have done a thought experiment.

When I bring Tokugawa Ieyasu to the present age (tropical night with high humidity) and ask him,

Choose either "the position of the highest authority of the Edo shogunate" and "the day with the air conditioner"

Which will he choose ?

In my case, I absolutely choose "air conditioner"

Even if he knows a comfort of air-conditioner, he might think that "power" is appeal to him more than "air-conditioner". I have thought nonissue for a long time.

-----

At the period, "Losing power" reaches to "instant death", so this comparison might be nonsense.

We, nowadays, are seldom killed unduly by others, even if we have no power. However, nobody knows in our future.

For example, nobody knew that the armed services ignored Japanese government by the reason of invasion of supreme command( civilian control was broken perfectly) when Imperial Constitution of Japan was established.

Nobody also knew territorial defense by the Self-Defense Forces, and the possibility of amendment of the Constitution, article 9, when Constitution of Japan was established.

-----

Well let me forget all annoying things,

In view of the past period, I was just a "foot soldier" that was lower class of "infantry"

"A warring lord who cannot use air-conditioner" or "a foot soldier who can use air-conditioner". I think I like to be the latter.

- When you arrive at the airport (especially many international flights), there are a lot of people who post on the SNS (especially men) and it is annoying.

When I knew the opinion (certainly I think that it was an opinion of a woman)

I think, "Apparently it's so"

-----

Today, getting on an airplane and going abroad do not boast of themselves, and it is not about "unusual".

Where is it coming out from that the feeling that we want to let people know about these self-portrait pictures.

A "semi-unusual"

will make us feel happy.

The opportunity to board an airplane is less than the number of rides on a train, and when we come to the airport, we become excited without reasons.

That is such a strange place.

However, if you look at the picture from the "show it" side, I can also understand the feeling that you want to say "What do you want to say".

Especially, just before the delivery date of the job, or at the time of semi-frenzy in response to customer complaint, the discomfort will be greatest to be shown such a photograph full of "feeling of excitement"

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

I am interpreting good faith. I believe that the persons who post these pictures as "memorabilia" for themselves, and remain on their own SNS, and there is no other intention except it.

"A picture of a meal" is the typical example.

Initially,

"Why do I take care of your food ?"

"SNS is bonds? You must not be sleepy"

People like me who think that, are not suitable for SNS.

As I develop this theory,

"Why do I care about your clothes ?"

"Why do I care about your enjoy being with a costume of a mouse character ?"

"Why do I care about the scene of your conference presentation ?"

And the target of "Why do I care about" is expanding, and the significance of existence of SNS collapses.

-----

"However now, Ebata, you. Every day you are updating my diary (blog)"

I heard the voice is coming.

"Is that the same as SNS? "

I think that I can clearly answer "different", if asked.

For me, I have no intentions of "I want to connect with someone", "I want to be committed", "I want to stay warm".

"I do not want to hear anyone's comments and I do not expect any feedback from anyone. I do not need cheering or criticism". I am keeping this diary with the stances.

In short, it is a

"street preaching"

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

"A mad man preaching on the street above the heads of an audience"

It is me, and it is good for me.

-----

I think "SNS" look like "neighborhood association(NA)"

And, both

"To be shown the posted picture from the SNS"

and

"To be listened a song of an amateur in the drinking party of NA"

are almost same.

To be honest, "to be listened a song of an amateur" is nothing but pain.

I always want to ask someone "What guilt of mine?",however, we have no future after the query.

"The less said about it the better."

It is irrelevant to blame the singer.

You are wrong, because you have no guts to be absent from the drinking party.

-----

I think that "SNS" is a information broadcasting system with anyone's convenience.

So I also think, after joining the system, blaming the picture like this(in an airport) is

"to behave dishonestly ?"

Previously, I have memories that I wrote.

"I went to various countries"

"I could like some country but not all"

"I think that I can love the place if I can keep living forever"

Both living in a certain place and living with someone are easy to loving the place or to loving that person,

I think that is one of the wonderful qualities of human beings.

-----

In other words, "patriotism" can only go so far.

So I think

"Patriotism" is easy.

The feeling of loving your place of living, occurs spontaneously, with no arbitrariness or intention, and that is "all".

I think that it is "good thing" because it is "all".

I believe that guys who often use the word "patriotism" are stupid, and they are really stupid.

As far as I know, they can not talk in logic, reach a boiling point, and become be emotional in a moment.

-----

For me, I do not know the concept of "teaching patriotism" thoroughly.

It's kind of like teaching that "you shold love this woman / men, because he/she has a value you will"t," I feel feel sick to my stomach at the bottom of my heart.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Conceptualizing "Loving the place where I lived" as a word "patriotism" means, I think, that there are persons in need, who want to include the concept in the process of primary school education.

In fact, before the Pacific War, our nation was eager to develop consensus-building systems by the education based on "patriotism".

This was really good approach.

If our child say about "national honor" or "pledged loyalty", the parents should have kept silence.

I am bloviating the above, however, this is a typical stereotype opinion of a person who is called "liberalist". and this is not novel at all( I agree with these opinion ).

-----

However, recently I sometimes think the following.

Would the "patriotism" education continue, as a effective education system, if Japan won the Pacific War finally ?

To tell you the truth, the "patriotism" education has a beneficial effect.

For China and the USA, this system with using "patriotism" is managed in the field of education and law.

For example, the elementary education leads on hate against the past and present potential enemy, and the law to impose punishment on a person who insults their nation.

However, these two countries have the multiethnic population, and the statism of them doesn't work well.

Therefore, from the view of statims, "patriotism" education is a good strategy for the cost effectiveness.

-----

Not only "patriotism", but also "company spirit" is the first process of "black company", so called, and "school spirit" also has many troubles. They has been reported about in the media.

"patriotism", "company spirit" and "school spirit" are same in that respect "being enforced to love"

However, the difference between "patriotism" and the others, is that we can run away from "being enforced to love" in the frame of nation.

Especially nations can make a law ( for example, military-draft system) and take us by the collar.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Recently, I write a series of "Working reform", I come to know that our nation (especially Japanese government) is in serious trouble.

Particularly, the burden of youth is dynamically increasing, I am amazed at their patience from my view. It is not hard for me to think that

"No wonder if they band together and precipitate a civil war"

----

Compared to the conflict against "Japan-U.S. Security Treaty" in the 1960's or 70's, I think that the present period is more pressing earnestly.

It's only a matter of time that the youth come to reach the concept of hate to the nation.

More over, they had overcome the stage of "civil war", and then might have already reached to resign themselves.

-----

An antonyms of "patriotism" is not "hostility", but, maybe "apathy".

For the person who can not have a concept of "nation" or "homeland", it might be difficult to show emotion of "hostility".

-----

To begin with,

"Has this nation given me something that pushes me to love this nation ?"

Even I think it normally.

"This feeling of smothering and hard life is better ?"

"Should I accept the situation because of the present assured life and existence?"

I have thought it again and again (almost everyday)

-----

The nation that has a lot of "apathy" people, will make the government feel the maximum fear.

Even I also think that "the nation that the people lose sense of belonging in, has no future"

That means,

The "patriotism" education might be one of the national strategies against the "apathy".
