1.01 Female Brain and Male Brain
It is very problematic to divide humans into two types, female and male, based on the difference in genitalia. As the recent LGBT issue shows, the essential answer is which way the heart is going. The women and men shown in this report are not necessarily related to the presence or absence of biological genitalia. Naturally, due to the influence of hormones brought about by the reproductive organs, the proportion of Homo sapiens with ovaries has a female brain, and Homo sapiens with testes has a male brain. This hormone is most affected when the fetus is in the mother’s womb, and the fetus with the male brain is exposed to intense male hormones for a long time. The fetus, destined to have a male brain, develops a fetus in the male fetus’s gonads (the part that later becomes the testes) at about 6-7 weeks of gestation. They begin to secrete male hormones and are exposed to tremendous male hormones for more than 6 months out of 10 months of growth. It is easy to estimate that it cannot not have an impact on the development of the fetal brain. However, despite the fact that a considerable number of overseas researchers have reported on its effects, Freud’s theory is still the only one that can be said with certainty. However, I will say here that it can be said that a newborn born after a long-term biological abnormality cannot be born with an equal human being. Naturally, this suggests that the owners of female and male brains are born with completely different personalities.
Therefore, regardless of the difference in genitalia or the presence or absence of genitalia, we will proceed with the story as “female” for people who have female brains and “men” for people who have male brains.
Biologically, there are many organisms that can produce offspring only by females, but it is common for them to start producing males when there is a change in the environment. There are many organisms in which the male or female changes depending on the environmental temperature at which the fertilized egg hatches. When the female disappears, the male changes into a female and some organisms begin to produce offspring. The reason why males are born is that they need disposable, short-term organisms as a group, so to speak, that generate a variety of offspring, give one of them a chance to survive against bacterial infections and environmental changes in the group, and that they themselves fight and bring food and other spoils into the group.
Thus, humans with male brains excel at certain tasks (hunting and fighting skills), while humans with female brains have the ability to handle multiple tasks at the same time (group maintenance ability). It is a common perception that it is excellent. However, as soon as an infant is born, he or she begins to receive milk from his mother, and from that point the growth of the third brain begins. Just as this mother’s religious views and lifestyle cover the second brain, which is the biological brain necessary for survival, the third brain develops and the male brain also creates a mind. It is only natural that the more advanced the education society, the more the male brain becomes the female brain. However, if children who do not receive any education or protection grow up as they are, they will end up with what is called in Japan, “girls play with dolls under trees, and boys play toy gun.” It is the same all over the world, and on the contrary, Japan is one of the few countries with advanced education where the male brain has become the female brain.
What I would like to say out loud here is that in recent years, Japan the increase in the number of herbivorous men and the feminization of men have become problems, but although the birth rate may decrease somewhat, it is very desirable that the male brain (second brain), which enjoys fighting and slaughter as a sport, will become a female brain.
On the other hand, in recent years, the emphasis on diversity and equality between men and women has been emphasized, and even research papers have begun to publish that there is no difference between the male and female brains. However, if we face reality, there is a clear difference in the thinking of men and women. The thesis that there is no difference in the thinking of such men and women is like watching a TV commercial, and it is even painful.
1.02 Games that have a strong influence on the male brain: Go, Shogi, and War
Most games are first-movers. Even in a game called Go, where players compete for the number of moves they have acquired, it is almost certain that the first black move wins the second move. Therefore, the first hand is to give some handicap, and the second hand is to give. This is called inclusion. When you play Go at the Go Club, the one who raises the “inclusion” often takes the first move, but I try to take the first move even if I make about 10 moves. Since it’s the first turn, you can start with an attack, and it feels good from start to finish, and even though you’re almost always going to lose, you can feel “I did it” or “I lost,” but it’s “exhilarating.” Is it because Go is not a game of winning or losing, but a game of competing for the number of rolls? In that respect, shogi does not have the handicap of “Go” like Go. Of course, there is such a thing as the right to be set first, but that does not mean that the probability of winning is high. It’s really a magical game. There are professional shogi players in this game of Go and Shogi. In the amateur world, there are so many women that it seems that there are so many women who play Go and Shogi (although most of them are “just watching”), but there are surprisingly few women in this professional Go player. In the world of professional go, about 1~2% are women, but in the world of professional shogi, there are none at all. There was also a chance to create a female professional shogi player with this step, but despite the fact that most shogi fans are looking forward to it, it was not possible this year.
It is sometimes pointed out that the reason for the lack of female professional shogi players is that there are few articles that mention historical, cultural, and social factors, and that there are not enough role models, that is, there are few role models for young women to enter the world of shogi, and there is a lack of motivation to take on challenges. However, all of them seem to miss the mark. In short, I think that Go and Shogi are not interesting games for ordinary women. Women can’t beat men, they don’t know how to lose or how to play Go, shogi is a sudden death game (sudden death game, that is, a comeback game), and it is a game that hurts pride when you “lose”. If it’s a game you’re constantly losing, and you’re losing every time, then it’s generally not interesting at all, and most women don’t point it out, they just watch. (He seems to admire a handsome Go player).
There is a word for watching. It seems to refer to shogi fans who mainly enjoy watching shogi games. They rarely play shogi themselves, and they enjoy broadcasting games on TV or the Internet. However, I am also a general who watches Go.
As a watcher, the most interesting part of Go and Shogi is the endgame. In the case of Go, it is necessary to look at the board widely in every corner of the game to see where the weak points are in this endgame. In the case of shogi, you have to read not only the board, but also the situation under the board when you hit different pieces in the same place many times, and then hit the pieces you took after that. The number of eyes in shogi is smaller than in go, but when depth is added, shogi becomes a three-dimensional space that cannot be seen. I think it’s quite natural that finding out the weaknesses of the hole in an instant will be favored by the owner of the male brain who has been good at hunting. However, in the case of Go, I think that if you have a female brain with excellent logic even if the plane is wide, you can compete with the male brain (there are quite a few professional Go players), but in Shogi, which requires the ability to imagine and recognize invisible spaces, I can’t help but think that the female brain cannot compete with the male brain.
On the other hand, why are people with male brains more interested in Go and Shogi? In recent years, the number of professional Go and Shogi players playing against AI has increased, and the reality of the situation has become clear. AI uses deep learning (*) to analyze past game records to calculate which move has the highest probability of winning, and points to the move with the highest value. Therefore, the AI is so quick to say “Are you making fun of me? “There are also many moves that make opponents resentful. At the end of the game, there are a lot of moves, and human players get lost, and most of them can’t beat the AI. The AI is not looking for the opponent’s weaknesses, it is just calculating, but the calculation speed is much faster than AI. However, it is interesting to note that in recent years, there have been many cases of semi-professional players who aim to become professional players winning against AI. Of course, there is no “game record” because it is officially prohibited to compete with AI, but the information that everyone wants to know about how to beat AI is flowing. They all have their own characteristics, and they all win in the hands of “”. As expected, in the case of Go, there is no detail of the hand because there is an absolute rule of the beautiful way of the player, but in the case of shogi, it is a hand that says, “Well, there is”, and if you consider it carefully, it is “disgusting” and there is no beautiful hand. AI is extremely strong against “tricks” and “bluffs” (there are always hundreds of thousands of stations), so AI is unlikely to get caught. However, it seems that it is difficult to analyze “” as an AI (it has no connection to past data. I don’t think you can calculate which move to take.) “Damn it” should not be understood as “”, but in the form of a “winning hand”. Unlike Go, in shogi, the game of semi-professional leagues is a mass of “”. This “yakuza” aspect may be one of the reasons why women are kept away. In the case of Go, there is only one example of beating the AI in “Yakkeshi” (it is listed in the official records), but the content is so “” that no one has pursued it after that. It may be the way of the Go player. A mathematics professor at the University of Tokyo once said that “deep learning” is “the least squares method (RMS).” This is the essence of “”. I sincerely hope that one day there will be a Go player who can go head-to-head with AI.
As mentioned above, finding out the opponent’s weaknesses and winning them brings great excitement and pleasure to the male brain. I think that is the reason why people with male brains are addicted to Go and Shogi. The closest thing to that is war. Historiography is the history of war itself. Alexander the Great asked, “Why did you go on an expedition to Eastern Asia?” In history, we are taught that it was because we were looking for someone to fight against. War was a “man’s sport” that delighted the male brain. It was not until around the 10th century that the state was formed, and war became one of the purposes of the state. Of course, it is true that even 10 centuries ago, wars were often waged not as a sport, but for the purpose of creating resentment. In other words, if the “feeling of winning” and “losing” in a war are quite different in the male brain, the two are quite different. When a soldier (male brain) wins over the enemy, he kills the enemy, rapes his wife and daughters, and then kills them, and only then becomes in a state of “victory over the enemy,” whereas a person who has murdered his wife or daughter is in a psychological state of “not being able to admit that he has lost and has a grudge.” The stronger the grudge, the stronger in war, so the commander does not limit unless there is a special reason. Since the 10th century, war has become the purpose of the state, and victory has become the goal itself. Resentment began to be brought into the war. Even Genghis Khan in the 13th century took great pleasure in insulting the princess and queen of a defeated country, and because he knew the resentment of the enemy country, not a single citizen, including livestock or animals, allowed him to survive. However, we did the exact opposite to the countries that surrendered. This thoroughness shook the European countries at the time. As a man, I find that explanation convincing. It even seems to me that the outright massacre was right. War was a “real sport” for Genghis Khan. However, in today’s world, “war was a sport” has become a thing of the past. Genghis Khan’s children, unlike their fathers, embarked on the management of the fiefdom. That must have been the trend of the times.
Today, no one professes that war is a man’s sport, but there are many leaders (no women) of the great powers who inflame their territorial ambitions when they see their opponents as weak. It’s a big country, but what are you going to do with more territory? The question arises, but it is true that there are major countries that are actually invading. Therefore, as long as there is a male brain, it is impossible to eliminate war (Freud).
If war is made a man’s pleasure, a small country is irresistible. Norway is leading the world in its diplomatic offensive with women at the forefront, while also preparing for invasion from a major power by making a military alliance with NATO and mandatory “women’s military service” and adhering to the universal military.
What is deep learning?
It is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses large-scale neural networks to learn features and patterns from data. Neural networks mimic the structure of the human brain and consist of multi-layered nodes (neurons).
- Key Elements of Deep Learning
(1a) neural networks; The foundation of deep learning is a multi-layered neural network. Each layer is responsible for processing the input data and passing it on to the next layer.
(1b) feature extraction; Deep learning has the ability to automatically extract key features from large amounts of data. This reduces the need for manual feature engineering.
(1c) learning algorithms; Deep learning uses learning algorithms, such as backpropagation, to learn patterns from data. This improves the performance of the model.
(2) Application examples of deep learning
(2a) Image recognition: Deep learning excels at recognizing objects in images. Examples include facial recognition and object detection.
(2b) Speech recognition: Voice assistants and voice input systems on smartphones use deep learning to recognize speech with high accuracy.
(2c) Natural Language Processing: Deep learning is also used to understand and generate text. Translation, summarization, and sentiment analysis are typical applications.
(3) Advantages and challenges
(3a) Benefits: High accuracy, feature extraction from vast amounts of data, automated processes, etc.
(3b) Challenge: Deep learning requires large amounts of data and computational resources. In addition, the results can be difficult to interpret.
1.03 Oedipus Complex
In the previous chapter, I mentioned that Homo sapiens with a male brain considered war to be a “man’s sport,” and I would like to outline it in the Oedipus complex, which is the content of the first lecture in cultural anthropology, which is unavoidable due to the relationship between the male brain and war. It is a compulsory liberal arts subject at most universities, so I think that quite a few people have knowledge, but I dare to mention it. Freud discovered that every savage group has an unwritten rule of “incest” (*), and as stated in his letter to Einstein, he concluded that war will not go away as long as there are people with male brains.
Are boys born with a love of fighting? In fact, that’s right, about three years after birth, they start to behave differently from girls. The TV programs they watch also tend to favor war anime, where they fight to protect the earth with their friends, and their play tends to be like chanbara or field games. Therefore, if the development of the third brain, which nurtures memory and intelligence, is not good, and the period of sudden increase in libido overlaps, it will naturally become a “rapist killer”. Also, no matter what kind of religion or maternal or paternal love you grow up with, you will have a latent Oedipus complex, so your aggressive nature will not change. Therefore, in order to create a peaceful society without war and genocide, it is essential to turn the male brain into a female brain, and while the responsibility of mothers is significant, it is also a social responsibility.
(1.03a) The gist of the Oedipus Complex is
When a normal male toddler grows up without any religion or education in the family, it means that the boy will eventually become a “rapist killer.”
(1.03b) Textbook description of the Oedipus complex
The Oedipus complex is a concept based on Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, which refers to the sexual affection and attachment that boys have for their mothers in early childhood, as well as their competitive feelings toward their fathers. The name comes from King Oedipus in Greek mythology. King Oedipus is a person who was destined to kill his own father and marry his mother.
According to Freud, this complex is something that children naturally experience in the process of development, and when properly resolved, it promotes healthy mental development. However, if it is not resolved, it can cause various psychological problems in adulthood.
(1.03c) Main elements of the Oedipus complex
a. Sexual affection: A strong affection or attachment to the mother.
b. Competitive feelings: Competitive or hostile feelings toward the father.
c. Castration anxiety: The feeling of fear of retaliation from the father.
This theory is a controversial topic in psychology, and there are also different opinions among modern psychologists. However, Freud’s influence is still great, and many study his theories.
Taboo
A taboo is an action, word, or object that is prohibited in a particular society or culture. These are supposed to be avoided for social or religious reasons, and breaking them can entail strong condemnation and penalties. Because taboos vary from time to time and culture to culture, behaviors that are normal in other cultures may be taboo in another.
a. Examples of taboos
A1 Religious taboos: Certain foods and behaviors may be prohibited in a religion. For example, Islam forbids eating pork.
A2 Social taboos: Some taboos are based on social norms. For example, behaving against etiquette and manners is taboo in many societies.
A3 Cultural taboos: Different cultures have different taboos. For example, in Japan, it is taboo to hold chopsticks vertically in food because they are reminiscent of funerals.
Taboos reflect the values and beliefs of that society and culture, and respecting them is important for building good relationships with others.
1.04 War will not go away as long as there is a male brain
It is often said that “who wants to start a war?”, but the male brain always tries to take its friends along the line of “let’s all fight together”. Even in children’s TV programs, “Let’s unite and fight to protect the earth~” and “Wow~” are often done in anime. Don’t think of this as an anime thing. In reality, “our pro-Russian people in the Crimea are suffering from repression by the Ukrainian government” “Let’s save! Under the slogan, Russia completely defeated Ukraine and made the Crimean peninsula its own. After that, Russia invaded Ukraine again, following the advice of a senior Russian military official who asserted that if Ukraine invaded now, the Ukrainian government would collapse in one week and Ukraine would become its own territory. However, this time, as expected, Ukraine could not remain silent and resisted, leading to the current situation.
The question is, why do we say “woohoo” when we talk about getting territory? I think the answer to why a country with a vast territory with a population of less than one person in a place similar to Yokohama City, where I live, would want to expand its territory even further.
The male brain reacts when his child is in danger. He reacts to his wife’s crisis and to his family. They also react to national crises, but the problem is that the level of reaction is the same level of crisis as the crisis of one’s own children and the crisis of the state. The crisis level decreases in the order of wife>parents> region, but as soon as it becomes a nation, the crisis level jumps. However, as I will explain in detail in a later chapter, people in the areas dominated by Confucianism, Vietnam, South China (around Guangzhou, Fujian, and Zhongshan) and the Korean Peninsula have a problem with the formation of the concept of the state itself due to the religious law of “parental orders are absolute” and “children are for sale”, and Confucianism is a cult of personality that considers the individual who commands parents to be the “state”. Naturally, the bond between “parents” and “admirers” is weak, so when a crisis occurs, it is normal to flee with parents and children.
According to AI, “The reasons why a powerful man starts a war are complex and many factors are intertwined,” but in fact, it is simple: “A young man with a burning sense of justice confronts the enemy alone to help those in need.” A war can be waged by one person. The male brain always wants to fight.
I’m very sorry for my own example, but my brother is a “genius who can recognize a self-proclaimed genius.” And in my brother’s opinion, I’m a genius, and in that sense, I have an absolute obligation to support the whole family. Therefore, since I was a child, I have not been allowed to make any errors, and I have been slapped for making errors in baseball and for not getting 100 points on a test. “What is this that supports the family?” he yells at and slaps me. And after being slapped, you must always say, “Thank you.” It’s exactly the same as Antonio Inoki’s slap. What Antonio Inoki’s slap procession shows is that this is still a practice that is widespread all over the world. In the military, where hierarchical relationships are important, or in groups where the status of women is very low, it is common for fathers and older brothers to slap those below them. The person who slaps does it because he loves it, and the people who are slapped are also grateful. The ultimate expression of affection is slapstick. You can’t slap something you don’t love.
This tendency is very common in people with male brains, and it is not at all unjust to those in power who wage war, but to act in war because they are loving.
The question is, how can a righteous man stop a war that he has started because of his outpouring of love? A war can be started by one person, but a ceasefire must involve a ridiculously large number of people. That’s the crux of what this blog is about: Norway manages the war with a female brain. It’s a strange word, but “a ceasefire can only be done by a thorough villain with a female brain and a kind face.”
I digress a little, but it seems that there have been a lot of middle-aged divorces recently. If it is judged that the owner is worthless other than bringing in a salary, the wife will abandon the host at the same time as the retirement age. Women’s judgments are always generally correct.
1.05 As long as there is a female brain, trouble will not go away
Here, I mentioned the female brain, but since the male brain appeared in the previous chapter, I said the female brain correspondingly, and the female brain means the human brain, including the general male brain. Homo sapiens with this human brain are born with a biological program installed in the body.
This human biological program has almost certainly been activated by fatigue (fatigue associated with activity) and aging (cellular deterioration over time) and eventual death. There are organisms that will continue to live forever if the environment does not change, but since the environment is constantly changing, those immortal creatures will also die due to environmental changes. A typical immortal organism is “cancer cells created by humans themselves”. Cancer cells are organisms that “do not die naturally” if they are removed and cultured before the main body dies (Currently, cancer cells that live for 40 years after the death of the main body are cultured and stored in a laboratory in the United Kingdom). However, these cancer cells are very gluttonous and must eat 6 to 10 times more sugar than normal cells to continue living. In addition, it is known that administering weakening drugs causes fatigue. Interestingly, sperm produced by the testes that secrete male hormones is also one of the immortal creatures. Proliferating cells that produce sperm are normal cells that cause fatigue and aging, so they deteriorate with age, but the sperm produced is young sperm no matter how many men there are. It has been reported that the length of the inactive DNA at the end of the DNA, called the terramere, affects the cell division, but it is also an unsolved problem at present.
This biological program that “humans will die someday (about 100 years)” creates an advantage for humanity that it will not last more than 100 years no matter what kind of tyrant or dictator appears, and at the same time, it can be seen that dying organisms are resistant to environmental changes. Immortal organisms have a very high probability of dying out in one fell swoop due to a single cause (DNA is not dispersed, and it is easy to form one and the same group), while organisms that always die someday leave a variety of offspring and increase the probability that someone will survive no matter what environmental changes occur. However, on the other hand, as described in Richard Dawkins’ “Selfish Gene”, it seems that “bullying” and “jealousy” cannot be erased from Homo sapiens, which has a human brain.
This “bullying” and “jealousy” strengthens solidarity within the group, but also causes friction between other groups. Therefore, in the human organism, troubles do not disappear. Since “bullying” is built into the human biological program, it is impossible to eliminate “bullying” unless humanity disappears. Since it is a biological program, the problem is that it is a very normal behavior as a human being, and people who are “bullied” do not think that they are “bullied”. People who have been “bullied” usually say that they were just working hard to keep the group united and have fun. There was a junior high school student who committed suicide due to “bullying” in Kawasaki. The student who was allegedly “bullied” said during the interrogation, “I never bullied him. He was on me and having fun, he was happy,” she said.
When the joint activity begins, the biological program “bullying” begins to operate in any group. I feel that “bullying” is an indispensable program for human survival. I’ve been reading a magazine called “The Joy of Mathematics” for 10 years, and there was a story about “ants that don’t work” in the column series. Even hard-working ants work well in a group, 80% of them work well, but 20% do not work at all, and sometimes they interfere with the worker ants. Therefore, if only 20% of ants that do not work at all are collected and made to build a nest, 80% will start working and 20% will still be lazy. At that time, the conclusion was that it was inevitable that there would be about 20% of lazy people in any society. According to a report 10 years later, the 20% of ants that do not work will enter the mouth of the foreign enemy when a foreign enemy appears, bite it, and even if it dies, it will rush one after another, preventing foreign enemies from invading the nest. Also, when a new nest is built, it seems that it kills the queen ant who gave birth to it and works to give birth to a new queen ant. In other words, there is a meaning to ants that do not work. Therefore, there may be a meaning to the “bullying” of biological programs that seem to be harmful to humanity. I think it is impossible to eliminate “bullying” unless we change the biological program.
However, it is easy for schoolchildren and ordinary adults to escape from “bullying”. It’s about getting away from that group. However, in the case of schoolchildren, the parents are the problem, and in the case of ordinary working adults, the family and spouse are the problem. Parents’ selfish assumptions that children who cannot play with others will be crushed if they go out into society, or that they cannot afford not to go to school because it is compulsory education, drive schoolchildren into a corner. Also, if you are a member of society, you should say, “Don’t say anything arbitrary! How are we supposed to live! With the words, the spouse corners again. If you think about it, leaving the group is not a big deal.
This “bullying” of the human brain naturally works a little differently in the male brain. In a state where the third brain is underdeveloped, before the male brain grows socially, “bullying” is still a kind of sport. When the human brain realizes that the enemy is crying because it is inhibited, it means the safety of one’s own group, and it is satisfying. On the other hand, in the immature male brain, there is a period of troublesome state of “not being satisfied unless the enemy dies”, and the desire to kill remains in the subconscious even in adulthood, just as it reminds us of the time when war was a sport. Therefore, when the person who was “bullied” commits suicide, it is considered “successful”. However, the other male brains that are watching it will enjoy the male brain that drove them to suicide in the hope that they will be killed again in revenge for the suicide victim. It is said that the period during which the second brain of the male brain is active, such as war is a sport and killing each other is joy, is long or short depending on the parents’ awareness of life, but it has little to do with school education.
I’m very sorry that this is my own problem, but I was very “bullied” in elementary school and junior high school. It may be the era, but it was a time when the Nichikyogumi had absolute political power among the teachers. There was a time when he brandished a red flag and gathered his class students in the courtyard. At that time, my mother was a leader in the community because she had a very rare high education in the sciences and was a person who spoke up clearly. My mother thought it was wrong for a teacher to openly wave a red flag in class and shout revolution, so she strongly protested to the principal and the school board (which had little authority at the time). Each time, he would say, “Your wife is too smart and will cause trouble!” Be more stupid.” The teacher who was waving the red flag made me stand in the middle of the courtyard and threw a piece of crushed chalk at me to all the students. At that time, there was no such thing as a sprechkol, but “No to security! Kill the shore! My name is Kishimoto, so kill Kishimoto! “That was the perfect watchword, and my whole body went blank. However, the 10 or so people who were said to be “bullies” at the time (whom we met again decades later) were happy to obey the teacher’s orders and threw chalk as much as they could. However, the other students threw it gently so that it would not hit their bodies. Most of the students were tasked with picking up fallen chalk. I didn’t tell my mother about it. I thought it would make my mother, who works hard, sad. In this era, “bullying” the weak and those who did not have money was like a kind of sport, and children from families with family problems or children with poor grades at all used to “bully” happy or smart children to distract themselves. However, there was not a single house where I was “bullied” and committed suicide. It was also a time when the spirit of “endure, persevere, someday” was popular, reflecting the situation in Japan at the time, such as programs in which Jigoro Kano, who grew up with a small body and “bullied”, created a technique called “Nanixo” and threw a big man down by gritting his teeth and throwing down a big man, and Rikidoyama, who was kicked out of Kakukai, took down the big man “Shark Brother” with a karate chop in professional wrestling. I think it was also influenced by the fact that there was still a lingering feeling of “enduring the unbearable, enduring the unbearable,” and that it was a time when there was a conviction throughout Japan that “tomorrow will be better than today.” I also used to work at a bookstore, saving up for two days’ worth of lunch and borrowing a book. Once I got used to it, I would read the other two books before borrowing one, and then I would borrow one. Eventually, I was “banned” from the bookstore. I muttered “Nani” in my mind many times. At that time, my dream was to become a bookseller and read my favorite books to my heart’s content. I think this “Nanixo” is a dirty word, but I think it is a very useful word when you feel like your heart is about to break. Words such as “ganbare” can only be seen as making fun of people. Everybody is “gamba”. It’s “Nanixo”.
Recently, the term “death from overwork” has come out that is beyond my comprehension. It is said that excessive working hours put a heavy burden on the body and mind, pressure at work, and mental loads, and they take their own lives because they cannot withstand the mental load. Why don’t you leave such a group? It may seem a little off topic, but it is often said around the world that Japan has achieved a miraculous recovery after the war. It’s not a miracle, it’s just the result of hard work. As a result of the war, the low-level layer disappeared considerably, and the postwar period came in a state of increased level, and as a result of the “surviving generation with high abilities and skills to feel sorry for the dead” working hard for reconstruction, Japan’s postwar reconstruction was only accelerated. Of course, it is true that the United States was complicit in all of the most costly military expenditures, and coincidentally in the vicinity of Japan, it was helped by the Korean War, which had a large amount of industrial products that Japan excelled in. Therefore, overtime work was a kind of longing, bringing dreams and income for tomorrow. In the recent “Showa boom”, there is often a scene where everyone is drinking “fruit milk, which looks like it is just a mixture of Watanabe’s juice and skim milk powder” after a public bath, but that was a “reward” for the workers who worked a lot of overtime to “work overtime and managed to meet the deadline”. Everyone looked at the drinkers with envy. Even in an era when monthly salaries are paid in 20 installments several times, it is impossible for work to end one’s life. It would be a shame to take one’s own life.
However, among them, those who emphasized the continuation of the “national defense” (a state system in which everyone is close to each other centered on the emperor) that had continued since before the war easily took their own lives under the reform of the system. I think that the spirit of national self-defense is the current death from overwork. The family is not one with the company, nor is it close. If you get tired, quit your job, protect your family. Why don’t you think again about what makes you happy and what makes you happy for your family?
I went to junior high school, which is commonly referred to as “cross-border admission,” and did not go to a designated junior high school. It was my mother’s consideration. However, the “bullying” started again, and even when I went to school, I was a truant student who read books on the riverbank. However, for some reason, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and technology were interesting and I listened to them “quietly in class.” At that time, as long as you had good grades on the exam, it didn’t matter whether you attended or not. In the summer of my third year of junior high school, the situation changed completely. We are now in an era where the level evaluation of junior high schools changes depending on how many students can be admitted to famous high schools. I was able to take “past questions” intensively in extracurricular classes, and I was able to go on to a preparatory school as planned in junior high school.
Since high school was a preparatory school, there was no “bullying” at all because the student’s goal was to go to university. I encountered a lot of chaos, such as the elimination of the University of Tokyo entrance examination due to university disputes, but I was able to enter a top university for the time being. What surprised me was when the classes were divided into different languages and I started talking to about 50 students. Many of them were truants in elementary school and junior high school. It is also the fact that many of them were “bullied”. On the other hand, if you are not a child who encounters “bullying”, you may not be able to enter a top university. I had a daughter, and as I expected, she was also bullied. I said, “You don’t have to go to school. It’s okay,” I told my wife with a laugh, but she was angry and appealed to the principal and the parents of the “bullied” child to prevent the recurrence of the “bullying”. The cause of the problem of “bullying” may be hindered by parents.
When a child is bullied at school, parents often yell at the teacher in charge. What they have in common is a one-sided statement that the child is acting correctly and sincerely, but there is a “person” who is “bullying” and the teacher is not giving any guidance. Usually such parents have problems, and of course their children have problems. As soon as the teacher starts talking about “Your child has a little problem ~”, some parents will yell at you. When you hear that there has been “bullying”, the first thing to do is to have the teacher explain, “It seems that my child has caused trouble, please tell us what the situation is”, and listen carefully to what the teacher says to understand the situation. In most cases, after consultation with the teacher, the problem can be alleviated at once if you take measures such as leaving the group or not going to school.
“Bullying” of schoolchildren and working adults can be solved by leaving the group, but the most serious case of “bullying” is “bullying” in the home of “daughter-in-law” and “mother-in-law”. It is a “bullying” within the same group, so to speak, it is a struggle for survival. Leaving the group is also very difficult in reality. Of course, there are cases of “male” vs. “female” or “male” vs. “male”, but overwhelmingly there is a lot of “bullying” in the case of “daughter-in-law” vs “mother-in-law”, and it is better to say that this is a “female brain” rather than a human brain. It is described in detail in “Dawkins’ Selfish Gene”, so please re-read it.
However, in the case of Japan, the problem is that the “female brain,” which should be the human brain, is pushed into the Taliban-type system because it is a woman, and because the system that favors the state of being pushed into it is spread over laws, tax systems, rules, wages, etc. (women also enjoy the preferential treatment system), it is a “female brain” that cannot act freely or come up with ideas. Therefore, the “daughter-in-law” vs. “mother-in-law” issue has become very serious, which will be discussed in a later chapter.
