In 2019 actor and comedian Volodymyr Zelensky ran as the peace candidate winning the Ukrainian presidency with 70% of the vote. As Benjamin Abelow observes in his brilliant book, “How the West Brought War to Ukraine,” Zelensky almost certainly could have avoided the 2022 war with Russia simply by uttering five words — “I will not join NATO.” But pressured by NeoCons in the Biden White House, and by violent fascist elements within the Ukrainian government, Zelensky integrated his army with NATO’s and allowed the U.S. to place nuclear-capable Aegis missile launchers along Ukraine’s 1,200-mile border with Russia. These were provocations that senior U.S. diplomats like post-WWII foreign policy architect George Kennan, former U.S. Defense Secretary Bill Perry, and former U.S. ambassador to Moscow Jack Matlock had long described as “red lines” for Russian leadership. Let’s face it, the Neocons wanted this war with Russia, just as they wanted war with Iraq. Listen here to NATO Supreme Commander General Wesley Clark describe how White House Neocons justified the Iraq invasion:

2019年、俳優でコメディアンのウォロディミル・ゼレンスキーが平和候補として出馬し、投票の70%でウクライナ大統領を獲得しました。ベンジャミン・アベロウが彼の素晴らしい著書「西側がウクライナに戦争をもたらした方法」で述べているように、ゼレンスキーは「私はNATOに参加しない」という5つの言葉を発するだけで、2022年のロシアとの戦争をほぼ確実に回避できたはずです。しかし、バイデン・ホワイトハウスのネオコンと、ウクライナ政府内の暴力的なファシスト分子による圧力を受けて、ゼレンスキーは彼の軍隊を NATO と統合し、米国がウクライナとロシアとの 1,200 マイルの国境に核搭載可能なイージス・ミサイル発射装置を配置することを許可した。これらは、第二次世界大戦後の外交政策立案者であるジョージ・ケナン、元米国国防長官のビル・ペリー、元モスクワ駐在米国大使のジャック・マトロックなどの米国の上級外交官が、ロシアの指導者にとって「レッドライン」と長い間述べてきた挑発でした。率直に言って、ネオコンはイラクとの戦争を望んでいたのと同じように、ロシアとのこの戦争を望んでいました。 NATO最高司令官のウェズリー・クラーク将軍が、ホワイトハウス・ネオコンがイラク侵攻をどのように正当化したかを説明しているのをここで聞いてください。

ぼく：
How were you implemented? Is it deep learning-based?
I am a language model called GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) that was developed by OpenAI. It is a deep learning-based model that uses a type of neural network called a transformer, which was trained on a large dataset of text to learn patterns of language.
GPT-3 is trained using a technique called unsupervised learning, where the model is given a massive amount of text data and uses this data to learn patterns and relationships in the language. This allows GPT-3 to generate human-like text when given a prompt, and to understand and respond to natural language input.
The training process of GPT-3 involves a technique called pre-training, which means that the model is trained on a massive dataset before being fine-tuned on a smaller task-specific dataset. This pre-training allows GPT-3 to have a good general understanding of the language and to be able to adapt to specific tasks more easily.
The GPT-3 model has 175 billion parameters, which is one of the largest language models to date, making it able to generate very human-like text and to understand context in a very natural way.
ぼく：
How does GPT-3 have a knowledgebase like an ontology? As it is deep learning-based, the knowledgebase like an ontology would not be implemented explicitly, but the structure should be designed with an expectation of having such a knowledge about hierarchy of concepts.
GPT-3, like other deep learning models, does not have an explicit knowledgebase or ontology built into its structure. Instead, it has been trained on a large dataset of text, which allows it to learn patterns and relationships between concepts.
However, the training data that GPT-3 was exposed to, likely contains a wide range of concepts and hierarchical structures. As GPT-3 learns patterns in the data, it can begin to understand the relationships between different concepts and ideas, and how they are related to each other. This allows the model to generate text that is more coherent and semantically meaningful, making it possible to understand the context and hierarchy of concepts, but it does not have an explicit ontology like a knowledge graph.
It can be said that GPT-3 has a certain level of "implicit ontology", in the sense that it has learned the relationships between concepts in a way that is similar to how a knowledge graph or ontology organizes information. However, it's important to note that GPT-3's understanding of concepts and relationships is based on the patterns it has learned from the training data, which is not a structured and explicit knowledgebase like an ontology.
ぼく：
Then how does GPT-3 handle the long-term or short term memories? Can it remember information about the on-going chatting? My name is Masuda, can GPT-3 keep it in the memory? Furthermore, can it learn and understand the new information from the Q-A queries, and use it in the future queries?
GPT-3 handles long-term and short-term memories differently. When it generates text, it uses a technique called attention mechanism which allows the model to focus on certain parts of the input while generating the output. This allows GPT-3 to keep track of previous information and context when generating text, which can be thought of as a form of short-term memory.
Regarding the on-going chatting, GPT-3 can keep track of certain information, like the name you've provided, Masuda, during the conversation and use it in future responses. However, it's important to note that GPT-3 is a stateless model, which means that it doesn't have a permanent memory that it can refer to after a conversation ends.
Regarding learning from Q-A, GPT-3 is trained on a massive dataset of text, and it learns patterns and relationships between concepts from this data. It can generate text that is semantically meaningful and coherent, but it does not have the capability to learn new information from Q-A sessions and use it in future queries. However, OpenAI has developed another model called DALL-E, which uses GPT-3 and it is capable of learning from Q-A sessions and use it in future queries.

Is ChatGPT superior to the Google search? Previously people used Google to search for their questions. Now a days, ChatGPT can answer to those questions. What are pros and cons of ChatGPT over the Google search?
ChatGPT and Google search are different technologies with different capabilities and strengths.
Google search is a powerful web search engine that can quickly find relevant information from a vast amount of web pages and documents. It uses complex algorithms to rank and sort search results based on relevance, popularity, and other factors. Google search is very good at providing factual information and is an excellent tool for researching a wide range of topics.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, is a natural language processing model that can generate human-like text. It is trained on a large dataset of text and uses this knowledge to understand and respond to natural language input. ChatGPT can generate text that is more coherent and semantically meaningful than a simple information retrieval engine like Google search. ChatGPT can also be used to generate text that is more engaging and human-like, such as in chatbots and virtual assistants.
One of the main advantages of ChatGPT over Google search is its ability to understand and respond to natural language input in a more human-like way. ChatGPT can also generate text that is more coherent and semantically meaningful, which can be useful in many applications. However, Google search is better at providing factual information and searching for specific pieces of information.
Another disadvantage of ChatGPT is that it doesn't have the ability to retrieve information from the web, it can only generate text based on the patterns it has learned from the training data. That's why it's not a replacement for a web search engine like Google but it can be used as an additional tool to help people to find the information they are looking for.
In summary, ChatGPT and Google search have different strengths and capabilities. While Google search is better at providing factual information, ChatGPT is better at understanding and responding to natural language input in a more human-like way.
ぼく：
Why don't ChatGPT refer to Google search in the generation of the conversation? Google Assistant has such a function. Is the reason due to the fact that OpenAI is funded by Google?
ChatGPT is a language model that generates text based on the patterns it has learned from the training data. While it can understand and respond to natural language input in a human-like way, it does not have the capability to access external sources of information like Google search.
Google Assistant, on the other hand, is a virtual assistant that can access a wide range of information and services through the internet, including Google search. Google Assistant can use this information to provide more accurate and relevant responses to user queries.
The reason ChatGPT does not refer to Google search during the generation of the conversation is likely because it was not designed or trained to do so. Instead, it was designed to generate text based on the patterns it has learned from the training data, and it does not have the capability to access external sources of information.
It's worth noting that OpenAI and Google are separate organizations, even though Google is an investor in OpenAI, this doesn't necessarily mean that the two companies work together on their products and services. OpenAI has its own development team, goals and roadmap and they are independent from Google.

これは、いろいろと考えさせられるいい文章だと思った。永井陽右という青年を振り回すかのように語る内田樹。こういうマウントは嫌いじゃない。
ただ、内田が、
「感情の器」って、あくまでも個人的な身体条件のようなものだから。
というとき、何か逃げた回答のような印象を受けた。
たとえそれが自分の中から湧き出す内発的なものだとしても、大昔にアダム・スミスが道徳感情論で追求したように、何かのテコで共鳴し、社会の規範を構成するに至るメカニズムが何かしらあるんだろうと俺には思えてならない。
そういう感覚を身に着けるのにどうすればいいかと問うた永井氏に、家風だとか、弟子入りだとか、そんな表現を内田氏がするのは、けむに巻いているようにしか思えなかった。
家風にしても弟子入りにしても、そのつながり方が、社会規範にむすびつくメカニズムがあるはずだ。
アレックス・カーが20年前に書いた本で『犬と鬼』という著作がある。
おりしも建設省に代表される特別会計の闇が浮き彫りになった時代。
アメリカの7倍のコンクリートを使って日本の山河をコンクリートで固めようとしていた、公共事業のあり方に疑問を呈した名著。
その『犬と鬼』のなかでカーは、そんな日本に至った問題を解明するヒントは「徳の逆説」にあるという。
「徳の逆説」というのは、国家も人も同様に、自分たちに最も欠けている資質を最も高く評価する傾向があるという、カーが常々思っている真理を彼なりに名付けたものだ。
A・カーは、フェアプレイの精神といいつつ、七つの海を支配した大英帝国の事例、平等を錦の御旗にしていた共産主義者のトップが黒海に豪奢な別荘を保有し、人民は実質的に農奴と変わらない生活だったというソ連の例などを挙げつつ、最後に、和を貴ぶ日本人がなぜ明治の開国後、対外侵略に夢中になったかという精神性に触れてゆく。
「徳の逆説」は、身近なところでも当てはまる。口うるさい親や上司の説教がブーメランに思えてならない、という経験は誰もがしているはず。そして気が付くと俺も親父と同じことを子供に、という連鎖。
最近、想起するのはやはり旧統一教会。家族の価値を高らかに謳いあげておきながら、その活動が原因で多くの家族が崩壊している、といった、「おまゆう」問題。崩壊させているがゆえにますます高まる家庭の価値、という悪循環。これもA・カーのいう「徳の逆説」が見事に当てはまる。これは人が自分自身を規律しようとするときの動機付けのメカニズムなのだ。
内田と永井の議論のテーマのひとつである人権・平等。あたかも普遍的な原理についても、
それを概念として具体化して社会が取り込んだ過程を決して忘れてはならない。
アメリカの建国者の一人、トーマスジェファーソンは人権宣言を起草した当時、200人以上も奴隷を抱えていた。
これは矛盾というよりも、むしろ奴隷制にどっぷりと漬かっていたからこそ人権宣言が生まれたという「徳の逆説」のメカニズムを見るべきだろう。
どんなに薄汚れた社会であっても、一度高らかに掲げた理想は、その社会を真綿で絞めてゆく。欲望大全開の人民を前提にすると、民主政は成り立つのか。多数決をすれば少数者が圧政に苦しむのではないか、これがマディソン含め、建国者の懸念だった。しかし、為政者の徳（アリストクラシー）と、欲望とは別に社会で正しいと思うことに投票する、二重人格的な資質が人民に備わっていると信じて建国者はデモクラシーを設計した。裁判を通じ、繰り返し憲法の価値観をテストする、という振り返りをビルトインした設計は本当に優れたものだ。結果として、最高裁が突き付けた奴隷制と財産権の矛盾が、南北戦争の北軍の正当性を決定的にする。
内田の議論に戻ると、外付けの人権というテーマと同時に、内発的なものとしての感情の器という、とても重要なキーワードを出している。それは他方で外付け実装された人権と、どのような整理ができるのだろうか。
「人としてどうふるまうべきか」を子どもに刷り込むのは「家風」なんですよ。子どもたちは親の背中を見て、人間としての生き方を学ぶ。それは教科書で教えることじゃない。
これは、親子を中心とした自分史と言い換えられるのではないかと思った。さらにいえば、自分史は必ずしも親は関係ないかもしれないのではないか。つまりこれまでの人生、来し方がキーなのでは。
内発的なものと外付けのもの、この二つはやはり、きちんと切り分けて、そして二つが、どうつながってゆくのか。以下、自分なりに整理を試みる。
舶来の概念というのは明治以来、洪水のように入った。民法など契約法の世界は、ほぼほぼ圧倒されたし、戦後は憲法そのものがアメリカの経験に基づいたものだ。
しかし、日本の人権教育は、残念なことに、人権の普遍性を論証することに熱を上げてしまって、そもそも誰の内発的な経験がもとになっていたかという成り立ちのメカニズムを忘れた議論が多い。公共の福祉論などをいくら学説や定義を整理してきれいに論じても、だから何？の議論だった。
戦後、人権を外付け実装してきた日本は、そのルールや規範の成り立ちといった背景をもう少し知る必要がある。それは教養として。
今現在、旧統一教会問題で話題の、国家と宗教というテーマにしてもそうだ。
政教分離のキーワードとなるのは、恐怖からの解放だ。宗教に悩まされ、その扱いに苦慮するのは古今東西の課題だ。宗教といかに折り合いをつけた制度設計をするか、古代ローマ時代からずっと抱えてきた。宗教的寛容、これが統治のカギだと気が付いたのはカルタゴに勝利した古代ローマ。
そのテーマに対して、新天地アメリカに到着したプロテスタントたちの子孫が18世紀になってメイフラワー号の協約を思い出して試みたのは、旧世界では試みたことのない壮大な社会実験だった。百家争鳴な多様性のなかで社会を構成するには、誰が正しいことを言っているのかは誰も断定できない、という前提に立つ必要が再確認された。それが言論の自由の関係では、20世紀初頭にホームズ裁判官らに代表されるように、自由市場の比喩が生まれる背景ともなった。
他方、旧世界のフランスでは、唯一の正しさを神に代わって宣言するカトリック教会の権威と苛烈な弾圧が恐怖であった。だから公共空間の合理化を徹底し、宗教を一掃する制度設計になった。フランスの言論の自由は、その意味でカトリックを否定する権利が原点となる経験なのだ。だからこそ、フランスでは今でも神を冒涜する言論というのが非常に重要な意味をもっていて、先日、仏風刺紙シャルリー編集長が英作家ラシュディ氏襲撃を非難したことの歴史的な背景は深い。
このように、人権というものは、何に対して恐怖してきた歴史があり、生まれてきたものなのか、という原点に思いを致すことが大切だし考えるコツだ。利他性じゃなくね。
それは、実は国によって微妙にコンテクストが異なるものであり、普遍的価値として昇華できなくもないけれども、むしろ司法を通じて、原点となった恐怖を大切に思い出す機会が重要で、その社会が、その真理を繰り返し確信し、制度を強化し、再生産する重要な仕組みなのだと思う。逆に言うと、普遍的な価値なら、なぜ何千年も克服できなかったかの意味を問うというか。
しかし、外付けの倫理として受け取ったものを、思い出すかのように歴史を振り返るのは容易ではない。戦後の日本の裁判所も含めて。
でも、それこそが日本の人権教育に欠如したものだということは個人的には強く思うところだ。
その意味では、外付けではない、外国の借り物ではない、内発的なもの、感情の器からみえてくる倫理、これは本当に大きな価値がある。
内発的なものを自省するうえで、もっとも大切なのは、自分の国や自分の家族、自分自身の歴史だと俺は思う。
自分や自分の先祖が痛い目にあってきた経験、あるいは他者を痛めにあわせてきた経験というのは、その人固有のものであって、その自分史や国の歴史を忘れてしまうと、あとは外付けの倫理だけが残る。国レベルで言えば、それは端的に明治以降の日本のアジアや欧米との対外関係であり、開国以降、アメリカに敗北するまでの戦争に明け暮れた体験に他ならないし、国家神道によって死生観まで国に洗脳されかけた手痛い経験だ。
歴史というと大げさだが、要するに「自分たちに最も欠けている資質を最も高く評価する」、おまゆう精神を自覚することだ。これは教養として学ぶというよりも、もう少し内省的なものだと思う。
自分が理想とするものと現実とのギャップを振り返る作業といってもいい。
自分に欠けている部分、そこにこそ追い求めている何か理想的な姿の反転がある、という振り返り。
ネイションとしていえば、戦争体験の振り返りが重要なキーになるし、国家と宗教というのは、国家神道と戦争という経験で痛い目をみているのであり、ある意味、輸入された欧米の経験を教養として追体験するだけではなく、日本人が原体験としてもっていた大切な教訓。愛媛県靖国神社玉串料訴訟(1997年）の最高裁判決は行政が戦没者の遺族の援護行政のために靖国神社などに対し玉串料を支出したことを違憲とした歴史的な判決で、戦争の経験がしっかり振り返えられた、という点で、司法の仕事としてとても大きなものを残したと思う。建国の精神を振り返るのが裁判所の仕事の一つだと思う。
しかし、戦後77年。戦争体験が風化するなかで、「あの時代を生き抜いた」という共通の体験、共通項として持っていたものがどんどん失われているのが今の時代。
50年前の高度成長期だったら、戦争で死んだ部下を思い出しながら、仕事にまい進し、酒場で同期の仲間と語り合う、とか、厳粛に生きるための厳粛な死が記憶としてあった。
「あの頃は」という共通の過去で人はつながることができた。それが内発的なものとして60年安保闘争を支え、水俣の闘争があった。外付けの倫理ではない、思い出としての切実さの空気の共有があった。
つまり、舶来の外付けの価値観と内発的な器は、その頃はわりと調和していた、といえるのだ。
それが、失われ、外付けの価値観だけが、カラカラと空回りし始めているのが今の時代の特徴で、失われつつある寛容性の正体なのだろう。
永井氏はそんな時代に生まれ育った。彼は対談のなかで、大学時代に
と、外付けの人権から始まったと語っているが、外付けのものにも普遍性のみに着目し、それが生まれてきたプロセスを振り返らない、人権教育の失敗が見て取れる。
また、日本国憲法に組み込まれた歴史への反省（前文含め）も記憶の風化とともに、個々人の内省が、時代への共鳴という形で、共感を醸成しなくなってしまっている。
それはかろうじて80年代までは存在していた。「おしん」が異例の1年間の朝ドラで始まってしばらくすると、
視聴者からは、おしんは私自身そのものです、という声が橋田壽賀子のもとに多数届いたという。
しかし、時代は変わって、平成から令和になって「あの頃」といえば、昭和の末期なのだ。
しかもそれをノスタルジックに思い出す、三丁目の夕日的な振り返りだった。さらには、あさま山荘であり、学歴社会、バイクを盗んで走る尾崎豊であり、バブルの思い出なのだ。それは、その遺産に苦しんだ次の世代にとっては共感を呼びにくいものであるし、自分たちの社会の重圧と、戦争の記憶との関連が薄まった。当然、日本国憲法のリアリティが失われ、右派から改憲論議が盛り上がってくるのは必然的なことだった。そんななか、統一教会が国の内部を白アリのように巣くって愕然とした先月から今月にかけての出来事というのは、忘れかけた宗教と国家の結びつきの恐ろしさを、突如呼び覚まされるものだったに違いない。
しかし、いずれにしても過去の記憶と憲法の規範が直接に結び付かない、その世代の経験、そこに、永井が紛争国の辺境の地を自分のテーマに選んだヒントがあるように思えてならない。
紛争のリアルがそこにある。そこに普遍的価値として大学生のときに知った人権、そして憲法の価値を、自分なりの振り返りとして再確認する、動機付けがあったようにも思う。
しかし、たとえ社会の人々と共有されないものであったとしても、ひとは自分史のなかで、どうふるまうべきかを動機付けられる。
私は逆に、子どもの頃はよく母親に殴られたり色々と物を捨てられたりされていて、そのときに「この家では力を持った奴は殴ったり物を捨てたりしていいんだな」と思ってしまったんです。そして中学生になって殴られたときに「よく見たら小さいし別に喧嘩が強いわけでもないな」ということに気が付きまして。それでそこからは自分が母親のことを殴りまくるようになりました。ひどい時はアザだらけでしたよね。父親も単身赴任でしたし。
といったときに、内田はそこにしっかりと気が付くべきだったと思う。
「全然、人権派じゃないね（笑）。」と返した内田に若干物足りなさを感じたのは、まさにそこだ。
動機付けられるものが、必ずしも、家風であったり、模範的なロールモデルとは限らないのだ。
この体験と辺境の地での人権探し、自分探しは、多分無関係ではない。
読んだのは20年前だが、年齢を重ねれば重ねるほど、彼のいう、逆徳精神の考え方が真理に思えてくる。
A clue to the problem may be found in what I call the theory of Opposite Virtues. Nations, like people in this respect, may pride themselves most highly on the quality they most lack. Hence “fair play” is a golden virtue in Great Britain, the country that attacked and subjugated half the globe. “Equality” was the banner of Soviet Russia, where commissars owned lavish dachas on the Black Sea and the proletariat lived no better than serfs. The United States prides itself on its high “moral standard,” while perpetuating racial and moral double standards. And then there is l’amour in France, a nation of cold-blooded rationalists. Or Canadians priding themselves most on being so distinctively “Canadian.” In Japan we must look at the time-honored ideal of Wa, “peace.” Wa means security, stability, everything in its proper place, “knowing what is enough.”Yet a persistent irony of Japanese history since 1868 is that for all the emphasis on peace and harmony, they are exactly the virtues that Japan did not pursue. At the end of the nineteenth century, rather than settling back to enjoy its new prosperity, Japan embarked on a campaign to conquer and colonize its neighbors. By the 1930s, it had already acquired a tremendous empire in East Asia; this inability to stop led to its suicidal attack on the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor, as a result of which it lost everything. Something similar is happening again. Perhaps Japan values Wa so highly for the very reason that it has such a strong tendency toward imbalance and uncontrollable extremes.
共同研究しているギリシャ人の先生から、ギリシャでされている東京オリンピックに関する報道について真偽を聞かれたので回答したい。
全然ニュースみてないので、わかんないんだけど、大体こんな感じでいい？
[自分の回答] 今オリンピック中止のデモやってる奴らは、極々少数で、400人とか。無視できるレベル。こういう連中はデモをするのが仕事または趣味で、年中なんらかのデモをやってる。普通の人間はオリンピックを中止すべきと思っておらず、好意的に受け止めてるよ。
[自分の回答] 7/23時点では、2回の接種が完了した人が全人口の23%で、1回以上の人は35%やで。まぁ全体から言ったら全然すくないけども。日本は他国に比べて接種が遅れてるんやで。ワクチンの国内での治験を日本向けにローカライズして独自にやったから、承認に時間がかかって、結果として接種も遅れてるんやで～。日本は65歳以上が世界一多くて、それらの人が政治的な基盤を形成してる。そういうわけで、めちゃくちゃ保守的な国だから、遅れてるのはしゃーないやで。
[自分の回答] 激震なんて走っとらん！ｗ以下は俺の個人的な意見だけども：政府関係者は1300人程度なら想定の範囲内だとおもうで～おそらく2500人とか3000人程度までなら想定内じゃないかな？これが東京だけで感染者数が10,000人/日とかいくようになると、ロックダウンとかやるかもな～。ちな日本は未だに強制力のある移動制限とかはしたことないよ！8月のなかばに日本のホリデーシーズンがあって、そこでみんな故郷に帰ったりするから、感染拡大する見込み。本番はオリンピックというよりお盆終わりの9月からや！コロナ先生の次回作にご期待ください！

This email may come as a surprise to you, as it is irrelevant to research or fellowships. In Greece we try to understand the situation with the Olympic games in Tokyo and the pandemic, but the reports on Greek media is fuzzy. Once my colleagues found out that I have some communication with a Professor in Tokyo, they asked me if I could possibly contact you and ask you what exactly is the situation there. So, with all the respect to your valuable time, whenever you have some spare time, could you please inform me about the following points that our journalists reporting from Tokyo only confuse us further?
Is it true that people organize demonstrations in the streets to stop the Olympic Games, because they are afraid that the games will spread the coronavirus in Japan? We do not understand this, as the games are held with no spectators (unfortunately) and the athletes are isolated in the Olympic Village, anyway (even with no pandemic).
Is it true that only 7% of the overall population in Japan is vaccinated against the Coronavirus? If yes, how is this possible, knowing that the Olympic Games are going to be held there ?
Today, they said on the news that 1300 new infections have been reported in Tokyo and that caused some "vibrations" to the government. Is this number significant for the Japanese people? In Athens alone (that is only 5 million people, 3 times less than Tokyo) we count that many infections every day for the past month.
As you can see, everything that is reported from Tokyo is unclear and contradicting: demonstrations for the cancellation of the Games due to the pandemic, vaccination level, infection rate. Today I heard on out national radio straight from the head of our Olympic Team that everything is calm and under absolute control in the Games. So could you please shed some light to all this, please? Again, if you are busy I will understand if you do not reply, as this is just curiosity and not urgent at all.
Is it true that people organize demonstrations in the streets to stop the Olympic Games, because they are afraid that the games will spread the coronavirus in Japan? We do not understand this, as the games are held with no spectators (unfortunately) and the athletes are isolated in the Olympic Village, anyway (even with no pandemic).
[My opinion]
The people who is engaging the demonstrations are very few such as 400 and they could be ignored. These people always participate in the demonstrations as a work or just enjoying their free time. They don't have any political ideology. General people is enjoying the Olympic Games as usual on TV.
Is it true that only 7% of the overall population in Japan is vaccinated against the Coronavirus? If yes, how is this possible, knowing that the Olympic Games are going to be held there ?
[My opinion]
As of July 23, 23% of the population had received two doses of the vaccine, and 35% had received at least once. Japan is behind other countries in terms of vaccination. Japan government took a long time to approve the vaccine produced outside of Japan, and as a result, the vaccination has been delayed. Japan has the largest rate of people over 65 in the world; about 30% is over 65 years old. These people form the political base of the country, so it's no wonder it's so conservative.
Today, they said on the news that 1300 new infections have been reported in Tokyo and that caused some "vibrations" to the government. Is this number significant for the Japanese people? In Athens alone (that is only 5 million people, 3 times less than Tokyo) we count that many infections every day for the past month.
[My opinion]
The following is my personal opinion: I think 1,300 new infections in Tokyo in a day is not big deal for the government. Maybe 2,500 or 3,000 is still within the expectation. If the new infections in Tokyo become over massive amount such as 10,000/day, we might need to go into a lock-down. Japan has yet to impose any enforceable movement restrictions. Japan has a holiday week in mid-August, and people go back to their hometowns, so the infection is expected to spread.
Shouldn't "white people" be correctly discriminated against in corona?

Discrimination and persecution related to coronaviruses is now widespread worldwide.
There is a concrete and wide-ranging summary of the situation.
―――
"List of Incidents of Foreign Fear and Racism Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic"

That is the English version of Wikipedia article.
With Google Chrome, right-click → Translate to Japanese, but the translation is a bit rough, but anyone can read it in Japanese.

>> In France, after the new coronavirus was confirmed on January 24, 2020, a lot of harassment and discrimination against Asians occurred [41]. It is aimed at Asians such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino [42], and taxis and trains that refuse to board Chinese, Korean, Japanese have appeared [41] [43] ].
>> French newspaper Le Courrier Picard featured an Asian woman in a mask on the top page on January 26, 2020 with the heading "Yellow Alert".
>> On March 8, 2020, a Japanese restaurant in Rivoli, Turin, Piedmont, was targeted for arson by a teenager who teased his owner and called him an epidemic carrier. [191]
―――
Not limited to the above, Wuhan and Africans in China, Chinese and infected people in Japan.
Discrimination, whether in the United States, Egypt, Africa or anywhere in the world, exists at all.
In a sense, it's almost equal. Under extreme circumstances, it is not uncommon for "weak" people to be able to keep themselves without creating enemies.
-
However, what I want to say is not a used phrase such as "Let's live kindly with philanthropy."
There is no objection to it. If the world can eliminate discrimination and prejudice, I naturally want it.
But what I felt was a big question before that. It can be called academic interest.
-
Chinese discriminate against Wuhan natives, Japanese discriminate against Chinese, and Europeans discriminate against Asians.
I see, there is a reason to that, considering the spread of coronavirus infection. "From what you see, what's dangerous is that area".
Roughly, it may be the result of thinking about "weak" people.

But here's the strange thing. Asians, Africans, yellows and blacks, they are discriminated against in many places around the world.
Frankly speaking, it's safe to say that blacks have little to do with the coronavirus. It's just that the original sense of discrimination has surfaced.
These ethnic groups and regions are equally discriminated against. It is a sense of discrimination that is based on fear but is incorrect but makes sense.
-
However. Then why isn't "white people" discriminated against?
-
From April to May, the coronavirus showed an explosive spread in the West.
In the ranking of the number of infected people in the world, the United States is alone, with 1.34 million people, accounting for more than a quarter of the total infected people of 402 million people as of May 10.
After the second place, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Brazil and France are followed, and each has more than 100,000 domestic cases.
Excluding Brazil, everything from 2nd to 7th is Europe. The word "Western Europe" is clearly the most dangerous coronavirus-contaminated area / infectious zone in the world.
-
However. Strangely enough, there is little talk that "white people, Europeans, and Americans are discriminated against in the world."
Of course it is not zero, but while looking for one "white discrimination", it is possible to find "Asian discrimination", "Black discrimination" and "Yellow discrimination".
It is said that what is currently expanding in the world is not the first wave from China, but the second wave from Europe, which is the pandemic.
-
With this, it is still understandable that the "white man" continues to do the right thing cleanly and correctly and has succeeded in corona countermeasures.
However, white people have continued to discriminate among Asians since the beginning of the spread.
In January and February, it was not uncommon to hear that Asians were already walking around in the country, calling them "Corona Corona."
By all means, white people are the incarnation of evil. It's not a good thing.
-
Regardless of the early stages of the epidemic, now that the "hotbed of corona infection" has moved there, it should be possible for white people to hate it.
Otherwise, it cannot be called "equal discrimination". As a result, it is wrong.
-
-
If you think about the reason here, after all, "targets are races / objects that originally had hostility",
The hypothesis may be that "there are restrictions on mobility and there are white Asian societies, but few non-white societies are white."
It must be interesting to study the area academically.
-
However, historically, I've seen that "white people" crusade various places with the Crusades and do all they can to the contrary.
I think that the trilingual diplomacy of Britain has created the situation in the Middle East, where terrorism is frequent nowadays, and has repeatedly carried out wrongdoing by repeatedly discriminating against blacks, Indians, and yellow races.
So, isn't it right here to try to discriminate against white people correctly?
-
Non-white society is a little too kind to "white people".
It was around this time today when I was thinking about that.

One day, a school teacher wrote on the board following:
9x1=7
9x2=18
9x3=27
9x4=36
9x5=45
9x6=54
9x7=63
9x8=72
9x9=81
9x10=90
When he was done, looked to the students and they were all laughing at him, because of the first equation which was wrong, and then the teacher said the following.
"I wrote that first one wrong on purpose, because I wanted you to learn something important. This was for you to know how world out there will treat you. You can see that I wrote RIGHT 9 times, but none of you congratulated me for it; you all laughed and criticized me because of one wrong thing I did.
"The world will never appreciate the good you do a million times, but will criticize the one wrong thing you do...
But don't get discouraged, Always rise above all the Laughter and Criticism.
卒業研究がまるでうまく言ってなくて来週提出の卒論アブストが全く書けない現実逃避に。
I was rejected by my best girl nine months ago. It has been unclear the reason why they broke up despite the each other's intense love. In this thesis, we provide a clear explanation about the event.
What plays a invaluable role for our study is descriptions gathered from me about each incident that had happened along them. We were able to obtain a large number of the descriptions, since a winter chill in the air reminded me the divine memories of the days with her. We carefully examined each of them and arranged the incidents into some categories. By combing chronological order and categories of the incidents, we analyzed the emotional changes of me and her.
We propose a simple model that explain the breakup between them, based on the above mentioned analysis. From discussions about the model with some people, the model is considered to be capturing major matters. We also present our attempt to match the model to the existing collection of patterns of the way how once loved people would break up. Even though this attempt is not much succeeded, at least it reveals that what I experienced was quite ordinal breakup.
私は九ヶ月前に恋人から別れを告げられた．互いに強く想いあっていたにも関わらず彼らが別れることとなった理由は，不明瞭であった．本論文において，我々はこの出来事についての明瞭な解釈を提示する．
我々の研究にとって非常に重要な役割を果たしたのは，彼らに起こった事象に関する多くの私から収集された叙述である．冬の寒さが私に彼女と過ごしたかけがえのない日々を思い出させたおかげで，我々は多くの叙述を得ることができた．我々はそれらの一つ一つを注意深く調べて，幾つかの分類へと整理した．各事象についての時系列順と分類を組み合わせることで，我々は私と彼女の感情的な移り変わりを分析した．
この分析に基いて，我々は彼らの別れを解釈する単純なモデルを提案する．本モデルについて幾人かと行った議論から，本モデルは重要な問題を捉えていると考えられる．さらに，かつて愛し合った人々がどのようにして別れるかのパターンを集めた既存研究と，本モデルを照らし合わせる試みを示す．この試みは十分に成功してはいないものの，少なくとも私が経験したことがありきたりな別れであったことを明らかにしている．
February With the world going mobile and billions of new devices requiring electrical storage, battery technology is almost certainly due for a renaissance in the near future and recent developments suggest MIT will play a role in the next significant battery technology. Less than a week ago, we reported on work being done by MIT's Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems (LEES) that could become the first technologically significant and economically viable alternative to conventional batteries in 200 years. Now a second new and highly promising battery technology is emerging from MIT - a new type of lithium battery that could become a cheaper alternative to the batteries that now power hybrid electric cars.
Until now, lithium batteries have not had the rapid charging capability or safety level needed for use in cars. Hybrid cars now run on nickel metal hydride batteries, which power an electric motor and can rapidly recharge while the car is decelerating or standing still.
But lithium nickel manganese oxide, described in a paper to be published in Science on Feb. 17, could revolutionize the hybrid car industry -- a sector that has "enormous growth potential," says Gerbrand Ceder, MIT professor of materials science and engineering, who led the project.
"The writing is on the wall. It's clearly happening," said Ceder, who said that a couple of companies are already interested in licensing the new lithium battery technology.
The new material is more stable (and thus safer) than lithium cobalt oxide batteries, which are used to power small electronic devices like cell phones, laptop computers, rechargeable personal digital assistants (PDAs) and such medical devices as pacemakers.
The small safety risk posed by lithium cobalt oxide is manageable in small devices but makes the material not viable for the larger batteries needed to run hybrid cars, Ceder said. Cobalt is also fairly expensive, he said.
The MIT team's new lithium battery contains manganese and nickel, which are cheaper than cobalt.
Scientists already knew that lithium nickel manganese oxide could store a lot of energy, but the material took too long to charge to be commercially useful. The MIT researchers set out to modify the material's structure to make it capable of charging and discharging more quickly.
Lithium nickel manganese oxide consists of layers of metal (nickel and manganese) separated from lithium layers by oxygen. The major problem with the compound was that the crystalline structure was too "disordered," meaning that the nickel and lithium were drawn to each other, interfering with the flow of lithium ions and slowing down the charging rate.
Lithium ions carry the battery's charge, so to maximize the speed at which the battery can charge and discharge, the researchers designed and synthesized a material with a very ordered crystalline structure, allowing lithium ions to freely flow between the metal layers.
A battery made from the new material can charge or discharge in about 10 minutes -- about 10 times faster than the unmodified lithium nickel manganese oxide. That brings it much closer to the timeframe needed for hybrid car batteries, Ceder said.
Before the material can be used commercially, the manufacturing process needs to be made less expensive, and a few other modifications will likely be necessary, Ceder said.
Other potential applications for the new lithium battery include power tools, electric bikes, and power backup for renewable energy sources.
The lead author on the research paper is Kisuk Kang, a graduate student in Ceder's lab. Ying Shirley Meng, a postdoctoral associate in materials science and engineering at MIT, and Julien Breger and Clare P. Grey of the State University of New York at Stony Brook are also authors on the paper.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.
