A life without being particular or attached
Today I had an interview in the morning, and in the afternoon I had a manager-level interview with someone from LIXIL.
Three of them came to give talks in Osaka and Kyoto in June and July.
We had a meeting.
The fact that I was approached in this way was a great opportunity for me to give a lecture in Tokyo recently.
I was a little relieved that it wasn't a failure.
In addition to this, I have received a request to give a lecture from LIXIL in northern Kanto in July.
It looks like I'll be relying on LIXIL for a lot of things.
Today's theme is "Living a life without being particular or attached."
Since 3/11, debate has been taking place among Japanese people who are not very good at discussing things.
I think there are more opportunities to do that.
In that situation, it's fine to stick to your own way of thinking,
If you are too particular, it can turn into obsession.
I'm starting to get curious.
For example, in the debate over nuclear power, once you become an opponent, you will find that people who are on the same side as you are
I started to look only at books about how to think and information on the internet, and
Examples include them no longer even paying attention to books.
This happens because we have a tendency to think, "I like this way of thinking" or "I don't like this way of thinking."
Since then, I have only opened my eyes to things that fit that direction.
I think that this is the cause.
On the environmental front, I agree with the thinking of anti-nuclear power activist Tetsuya Iida.
However, when it comes to economics, I like Nobuo Ikeda's thinking.
However, Nobuo Ikeda has criticized Iida to his heart's content.
Both are intellectual giants beyond my reach, and both are voracious readers.
If anti-nuclear power becomes everything and you don't pay attention to anything else, then "Nobuo Ikeda is wrong."
However, the conclusion you reach will vary depending on what you place emphasis on.
It's not the same as Professor Sandel's "The 100th Anniversary of the 1960s," which was popular a while ago, but it is a
In this case, things are not always completely black and white.
The mindset of thinking, "Maybe I'm wrong," and "the willingness to at least look at literature that argues the opposite"
I want to continue to have the flexibility to "give it a go" no matter how old I get.
This is something I always pay attention to when I design.
Even if you think you are right, admit that you are wrong.
If we find something, we will improve it... That's what I want to do all the time.
However, there are some things that seem strange no matter how you look at it, such as the disparity in the value of one vote.
Some people try to justify these things by making various excuses.
Even if you know what is right, you may be in a difficult position and are still being influenced by your current vested interests.
I think they are unable to escape from their obsession.
Only those around him will benefit, and society as a whole will suffer a great loss.
I think Japanese people should be more angry about this.
It is good to be particular, but it can also make you blind.
I don't want to live my life in a way that makes it an obsession.
I also have a habit of thinking succinctly, so as I get older,
I want to keep the softness forever.
I wrote about my thoughts on "living a life that is not obsessed with things but not attached."
