"Doubting whether something is really okay is called philosophy." "Believing implicitly is called religion."

I recorded it and watched it every week.
The program "Hayashi Sensei's Encyclopedia of Life" will be the last episode next time.
Apparently, the boom may be over now.
His intelligence is apparent, and there are many quotes that I can relate to.
I used to watch it all the time.
There were some words I don't want to forget.
I would like to write it down.
"Doubting whether something is really okay is what we call philosophy."
"Implicit belief. This is called religion."
This also clearly expresses how I have felt since I was a student.
I thought, "I don't have the opportunity to study philosophy in compulsory education in Japan."
This itself may be the main reason why Japanese people have stopped thinking.
In the words of philosopher Yoshimichi Nakajima
"I hate weak people who don't think about anything."
In explaining this term
"We are unconsciously the majority, the majority creates common sense.
"I think we've created a society that excludes people who are not like that."
People stopped thinking about anything, stopped voting, and the LDP was free to do as it pleased.
I thought this was a perfect example of the current situation, where we are trying to eliminate different ways of thinking.
Also, as the famous quote by Shogi player Toshiyuki Moriuchi states:
"In a competition, a second mistake can be fatal."
The word was also introduced.
This also hit me hard.
That's exactly what happens when you replace the word "competition" with work.
When working with customers, the first mistake is not a big deal.
No. But making a mistake the second time or later can be fatal.
I thought they were the same.
It is the end.
"It's fun to think about it.
It is important to teach your children from an early age that what they think is interesting.
It’s important.”
"There are basically three ways to think.
Analogy: A and B are similar
Contrast: A and B are different
Causation: A causes B
It is important to continue training these habits from a young age.
It’s important.”
I think this is absolutely true too.
I want to keep these things in mind so that I don't forget them in the future.
