I Traveled to 46 States in America This Summer. Here’s Why Trump Won.

By Frank S. Zhou

By Ezekiel A. Wells

Ezekiel A. Wells ’27 is a Double Concentrator in Environment Science & Engineering and Economics in Eliot House. He spent last summer traveling to 46 American states conducting interviews for his YouTube series, “Crossroads America.”

3 days ago

A week after Democrats’ election loss, accusations have flown in every direction within their Party. Some fault President Joe Biden for an egoistic refusal to drop out of the race earlier. Some blame the Harris campaign for failing to serve key demographics and communicate a clear vision for the country. And some blame Americans, claiming that racism and sexism drove voters toward Trump.

These factors certainly exist, but we’re missing a larger piece of the picture.

Over the summer, I traveled to 46 states in the U.S., creating a YouTube series highlighting slices of life across the country. In conversations from my nearly three-month road trip, I spoke with Republicans who were certain that inflation is entirely Biden’s fault and Democrats who, despite their frustrations with corporate profits and desires for universal healthcare, hoped for a more moderate candidate. From supporters of all candidates, I heard a shocking amount of misinformation.

After combing through hundreds of hours of interview footage from swing state Trump voters, I am certain that, as much as other factors influenced the outcome of the election, our crumbling media landscape — which has caused a rift in our democracy — is most to blame.

In the postwar period, news was dominated by three main channels, and because of the Fairness Doctrine, each station reported the same stories and covered multiple sides of each issue. Viewers picked which channels they watched mainly based on their preferences for news anchors’ personalities. Of course, this model had its problems, but, at the end of the day, it meant that Americans worked with a shared set of facts.

A shared set of facts is not the world we live in today.

Throughout my interviews, conspiracy theories were rampant, and on at least five separate occasions across separate states, I was told that Bill Gates tampers with our food, adding plastic to our fruits and vegetables to make his medical investments more profitable.

In conversations with voters, neither side seemed able to name many specific policy issues they cared about; everyone just seemed to repeat the words of their favorite pundits, podcast hosts, and internet personalities.

Although this behavior is harmful, I don’t blame everyday Americans. Blame falls on the media that has ostracized, disillusioned, and misinformed them.

I first saw this trend with low-wage workers in West Virginia, who — despite falling inflation rates — have seen stagnated salaries and clear increases in food costs. Channels like Fox News bred anger and resentment for many of them.

Take July of this summer, for example, when for the first time in his presidency, prices actually fell under the Biden administration. Traditional media establishments rushed to celebrate this victory, with one article from CNN declaring, “The White House can finally cross out ‘inflation’ on its list of presidential liabilities.” However, outside these bubbles, I observed many Americans held a different view.

In late July, I was welcomed at a massive family reunion in Tylertown, Mississippi, where one Trump voter — a middle-aged, Black, family man, pastor, and soul food enthusiast — made this clear.

“When I go in the grocery stores, and I gotta spend my last to get groceries, you mean to tell me I’m not gonna look and see who’s gonna vote to help me? I voted for Trump and I’d vote for him again, because he put money in our pocket,” he told me.

In their coverage, mainstream news organizations obsess over the Federal Reserve’s next rate cuts while failing to connect with people concerned with their next meals. With titles like “Vance: Young Americans ‘Are Becoming Paupers’ Due To Inflation, High Housing Costs,” sites like The Daily Wire had their fingers on the pulse of American sentiment, welcoming new readership from those who felt neglected by traditional media.

This problem was not just confined to the economy. While Biden’s mental state was deteriorating, liberal media outlets seemed to under-cover these stories, sheltering him from scrutiny of his declining capabilities, until the infamous presidential debate.

Formerly trusted networks slowly made themselves indigestible to the polarized American public, and in 2024, for the third year in a row, a Gallup poll found that more Americans indicated having “no trust” in the media than those who trust it a “great deal/fair amount”.

So where does the average American turn when the nation’s media cannot be trusted? For many people, it was YouTube talk shows, Newsmax, and podcasters such as Joe Rogan.

While Democrats seek to blame various internal factors for this election’s loss, I cannot help but think of Joe Rogan’s Trump endorsement, the many blind lies I heard from ordinary citizens across the country, and declining trust in American journalism.

As Harvard students and members of higher education institutions, we have a part to play in the problem. At Harvard’s Institute of Politics, those who denied the 2020 election results have been precluded from speaking at the JFK Jr. Forum. While the goal is understandable, it shields students from understanding the American viewpoints they represent.

There is a difference between platforming intentional and manipulative misinformation and listening to and learning about where people are and what they believe.

As a pipeline to mainstream media, Harvard, and its future journalists, have to consider the audience they lose when they stay inside of their bubble and ignore the issues of everyday Americans.

The disappearance of factual importance in our world is alarming and dangerous, but if we, as aspiring journalists, politicians, and engaged citizens, want to be taken seriously in communicating Trump’s threat to democracy, inflationary tariff policies, and so on, we owe American voters that seriousness, too.

平尾アウリやたみふるという、すでにプロの世界で燦然とかがやいている星々とその作品のことを思おう

(■追記2■南Q太は、今思うとPOP LIFEをすでに2015年に描き始めていて、すごいなと思った)

彼女たちのインタビュー、確か幾つかweb上にもあると思うけど、助けになるんじゃないかな

■追記■

今思い出して探してきたんだけど、これは私が以前のidで投稿した増田

anond:20190117224313

紺野キタ先生の百合は増田の求める世界に近いんじゃないかな

私も学生時代に取り残した心を慰撫してもらったな…と今思う

“これからは、もっと女性による女性のための百合作品が増えていってほしい。恋愛だけじゃなく、友情や姉妹愛など、女性同士の絆を描いた作品ももっと見たい。”

増田を読んで当時もこう書けばよかったんだなあって思いました

でも、確実に過去から連綿とそんな物語はあり、今ではかなり意識的にそれらは生み出されているなと感じます

増田がそんなすばらしい作品やそれを作る人に今後きっと出会えるようにこっそり祈っています

■格差とインフレがリベラル敗北の原因という聞こえの良い話

Xの論客さん達が「リベラルは格差とインフレを見てなかった。だからトランプに負けたんだ」と主張しだしているようだ。

そもそもこの意見も周回遅れな感じが否めないが（前回前々回の選挙で言われてた事だし）、ぶっちゃけこれすらももう聞こえの良い敗北理由であり、リベラルにとってもっと絶望的な敗北理由の可能性から目を背けちゃいないか？

それは、リベラルの推し進めてきた「男女平等」 「移民やLGBTの権利保護」 「人工妊娠中絶の権利」 と言った理念が、選挙結果を左右するレベルで大多数のアメリカ人から拒絶されているという可能性である。 トランプ支持層を見れば、マチズモで、黒人とアジア人の差別主義者で、pro-Life派で、と言った人間が目立つわけだが、実はそういう人たちがリベラルが思うほど過激な少数派というわけでもなく、アメリカ国民の半数が根本的にそういう思想に賛同してるという可能性である。

格差とインフレが原因というのは、リベラル側は上記の絶望的な可能性を受け入れずに済む理由付けだし、トランプ支持者側もそういうことを公言するのを躊躇しない一部の過激派を除き、極めて表に出しやすい理由だ。 「本当は女性や移民を差別したくてしたくて仕方がないからトランプ支持をしたが、公言はできないし、格差とインフレのせいにしておこう」 そういう人達が実はもうとんでもなく多くなってるんじゃないかという気がしてならない。

■スタートレック(全938話)史上、最も重要なエピソード10選

anond:20241012181121

スタートレック（現在の正式名はスター・トレック）は50年の歴史があるうえに、1話完結のエピソードが多い。シリーズの入門ガイドの意味もこめてやってみた。

はてな界隈でスタートレック全話追っかけてる人は少ないだろうし、シリアスなファンははてななんて見てないだろうから、自分の価値基準で好き勝手書かせてもらう。

すごく偏ってると思う人もいるだろう。私もそう思う。海外のこの手のランキングでは常連のエピソードも入ってない。思うところがあれば、ぜひ書いてほしい。

なお、全938話は2024年9月末時点での話で、10月から『ローワー・デッキ』の新シーズンが始まったので話数はまた増えている。

『アンドロイドのめざめ』 (The Offspring) 新スター・トレック（TNG）第3シーズン16話 / 1990年

スタートレックがSFドラマとして最も輝きを放つのは、銀河に存在する人間以外の存在を通じて、人間とは何かを描くときだ。それはあらゆるSF作品の共通の魅力でもあるが。

本作は人間に造られたアンドロイド、データが、自らの子孫を造ろうとする物語。AIの子供との「ファーストコンタクト」を通じて、子供を持つということが、個人にとって、種にとってどういうことなのかが描かれる。

本作には、派手なアクションシーンもSFXもない。しかし、その物語は喜びとユーモア、発見に満ち溢れ、重い悲劇として幕を閉じる。それは家族を描くキャラクター劇であり、SFであり、力強い人間ドラマだ。

最もスタートレックらしい一篇は何かと言われたらこれを推す。

『ゴリラの惑星』 (The Galileo Seven) 宇宙大作戦（TNG）第1シーズン13話 / 1967年

スタートレック立ち上げ最初の年に、スタートレックらしさというものを決定づけた重要な一篇。怪生物の住む惑星に不時着したクルーが脱出するために取る行動を描く。

スタートレックの原型は西部劇（幌馬車劇）と言われるが、これはまさにインディアンに囲まれた幌馬車の設定を宇宙にしたもの。

しかしポイントは、主役がミスタースポックであるという点。感情がなく論理で動くヴァルカン人（と地球人のダブル）である彼は、助かるために論理に従うか、あるいは……。

本作は異星人の視点で人間の感情と理性の葛藤を描き、このモチーフは以降繰り返されることとなる。また作品にシャトルのセットを導入し、物語の舞台を増やした一作でもある。

『過去から来た新兵器』 (The Slaver Weapon) まんが宇宙大作戦（TAS）第1シーズン14話 / 1973年

宇宙大作戦の打ち切り後、少々品質を落としたアニメで継続となった本シリーズだが、名作はいくつかあった。しかし本エピソードはちょっと違う視点で選出している。

これ、実はラリィ・ニーヴンというSF小説家が書いた『ノウン・スペース』というSF小説群のにある短編の一つを、そのまんま映像化しているのだ。出てくる異星人も借りてきたもの。

ニーヴンを知る人も少なくなっただろうが、アシモフやハインラインの後の世代で、ハードな科学設定とエンタメとしての面白さを融合した作品を書き、SF界の潮流を作った人と言える。

本作は、スタートレックの世界観が他作品をまるごと呑み込んでも成立しうる、緩く、包容力のあるものだと示した。ローワーデッキのハチャメチャコメディスタイルが可能になったのも、ある意味この作品のおかげ。

『恐怖のコンピューター M-5』 (The Ultimate Computer) 宇宙大作戦（TOS）第2シーズン24話 / 1968年

宇宙大作戦にはTV史上初めて白人と黒人とのキスシーンを描いた『キロナイドの魔力』という記念碑的作品があるが、人種問題を深く描いた作品というと、こちらを推したい。

黒人の天才科学者が自らの知能と感情を転写し開発した自動航行AI。それに船を委ね、演習に参加したエンタープライズだが、AIは次第に狂いだす。

本作のAIは自らの判断に絶対の自信を持ち、誤りを認めようとしない。博士もAIを擁護し、次第に我を失っていく……と言うプロット。

AIの恐怖を描いた先進性はともかく、本作が人種問題の作品であることは、日本に生きる我々には少々理解が難しい。

この物語が暗喩するのは、飛び抜けた能力で社会から評価を受け、地位を得たマイノリティの苦しみだ。常に完璧を求められ、ひとつの失敗で社会から振り落とされてしまう、隠れた差別を描いている。

この複雑な問題を1968年のTVドラマに持ち込んだことこそ、評価されるべきだと思う。

『恐怖の宇宙時間連続体』(Cause And Effect) 新スタートレック（TNG）第5シーズン18話 / 1992年

「タイムループもの」といえば誰もが1作ぐらい頭に浮かぶだろう。映画『恋はデ・ジャ・ヴ』など様々な傑作がある。

しかし、それらの作品の多くは、「なぜ」タイムループが起きるのかを説明しない。なぜか寝て起きるとループしてたり、なぜか恋が成就するとループを抜けたり……。

スタトレ世界でタイムループを描いた本作が優れているのは、その「なぜ」が明確に定義されており、それを解決することが物語の目的になっている点だ。

突如として起こる反物質爆発で時空ループが生成されると、キャラ達は過去に戻される（都合よく前のループの記憶を保持したりしない）。

そこから毎回、艦のクルーたちは僅かな違和感から少しずつ状況を理解し、「なぜ」かを探り、回避するための答えに近づいていく。

ご都合主義的な「ふしぎな現象」はなく、戦うべき悪役もいない。ハードSF的な状況で、知力に頼ってロジカルに物語を進めていく。しかしこれが最高に面白いのだ！

舞台は艦のセットのみ、登場人物もレギュラーのみというミニマルな作品だが、スタートレックのSF性、センス・オブ・ワンダーを代表する1作だと思う。

『終わりなきはじまり』(What You Leave Behind) スタートレック：ディープスペースナイン（DS9）第7シーズン25-26話 / 1999年

スタートレックのフランチャイズ化は、TNGによるリバイバルを経て実質このDS9から始まった。いままでと違ったスタトレを作ろうという意欲に富んでおり、非常に作家性の強いシリーズだ。

未知の世界を訪れる宇宙船でなく、未知の存在が訪れる宇宙ステーションを舞台とし、全7シーズンの後半では巨大な宇宙戦争を連作として描いた。最近の『ディスカバリー』などのシリーズも、本シリーズがなければ成立しなかった。

その総決算と言うべきこのシリーズ最終話は、単体で観るとなると評価が難しいが、173話の積み重ねの末の1話としてみると、ずっしりとしたものが心に残る。

DS9はシリーズで初めて黒人俳優を主役とし、戦争犯罪や植民地主義のもたらす被害をストレートに描き、舞台となる異星の宗教と重ね合わせることで人間の信仰心をも題材にした。

更には、「これは一人の狂った黒人の観た夢なのではないか……」というメタレベルの視点すら取り入れ、多様な視点と重層的な葛藤、その先にある善とは何かを描こうとした。

シリーズに長く付き合うことでもたらさせる重い感動を体験してほしい。

『遠隔起源説』(Distant Origin) スタートレック：ヴォイジャー（VOY）第3シーズン23話 / 1997年

ヴォイジャーはハードSF的な物語よりも、キャラクターの成長やモラルに焦点を当てた傑作が多いが、敢えてSF的なセンス・オブ・ワンダーに満ちた本作を推す。

ネタバレしてしまうが、これは「恐竜人類」の物語であり、「ガリレオ・ガリレイ」の物語だ。

遥か昔に宇宙に出て進化したある種の恐竜と、銀河の反対で出会ってしまった宇宙船ヴォイジャー。それを、なんと恐竜人類側の視点で描く。

故郷の星に、自分たちとは異なる知的種族がいたという事実を知った科学者の知的興奮と、その発見を社会から拒絶され、迫害される恐怖。

SFの根幹である科学そのものを主題にし、人間と科学の関係性に向き合った、ひとつの到達点。深い感動をもたらしてくれる傑作だと思う。

『命と人生』(Life, itself) スター・トレック：ディスカバリー（DIS） 第5シーズン10話 / 2024

『スタートレック：エンタープライズ』以降停止したTVシリーズを、配信に適した連続劇フォーマットで復活させ、『ピカード』などのシリーズの端緒になった『ディスカバリー』の最終話。

連続劇で見せるスタトレにはまだ課題が多く、特にディスカバリーのシーズン4,5、ピカードのシーズン2などは間延びして物語の行先がわかりづらいという批判があった。

しかし、それらの連続劇も、最終話に来ると、そこまで迷走していたテーマが急にシャンと鮮明になり、ああ、なるほどこういうことだったのか、という感動をもたらす。

特に本エピソードはディスカバリーのグランドフィナーレとなるだけあって、描かれるものも壮大だ。銀河の知的生命の発祥の謎を求めて行われるトレック（旅）である。

しかしその結末、謎は解明されることはない。その代わりに提示されるのは、「真実を求めるトレック」とは何なのか、という命題だ。

それは生きること、そのものである。

『The Devourer of All Things, Part II』(日本語タイトル未定) スター・トレック：プロディジー（PRO）第2シーズン10話 / 2024年

スター・ウォーズやマーヴェル作品、ガンダムのような複数作品がひとつの歴史を形作るシリーズの楽しみは、クロスオーバー、そして「設定の穴が埋まる瞬間」だろう。

子供向けのCGIアニメシリーズとして作られた最新作であるプロディジーは、この設定の穴埋めを、他のどんな作品よりも見事にやって見せた。

新スタートレック、ヴォイジャー、ディスカバリー、ピカードなどの実写作品の設定を少しずつ掬い上げ、時に大胆にプロットに取り込んで、独立して楽しめる作品になっている。

その頂点がこのエピソードだ。シリーズを通じてのマクガフィンであったヴォイジャーのキャラクター、チャコテイの姿が見えた時は、その絵だけで感涙してしまった。

実にオタク的な楽しみだが、フランチャイズ作品に長く付き合ってきたものだけが味わえる、究極の悦楽がここにある。

プロディジーの日本語版は、2024年10月時点では製作されていない。英語版だけならNetflixで子アカウントを作り、基本言語を「English」」に設定することで観られる。

『両性具有ジェナイ人』(The Outcast) 新スタートレック（TNG）第5シーズン17話 / 1992年

はっきり言ってシナリオの全体的な完成度は高いとは言えない。その質についても、表現手法についても注文の付く作品である。しかしどうしても外すことができない一篇がこれ。

1960年代、宇宙大作戦で人種や性別による差別のない理想世界を描いたスタートレックは、1990年代になりその理想のほころびを正直に描くように変化した。

本作で暗喩されるのは、性的マイノリティの直面する差別であり、同時に女性の権利でもある。

物語では、両性具有の種族の星に生まれた「女性」が、女性であると言うだけで罪とされ、矯正を施されようとする。

それは90年代に入るまで見過ごされてきた同性愛者への差別と、「治療」という名の暴力の告発である。

矯正の場へと連れていかれる彼女が最後に、法廷の場で叫ぶ。「私は女だ！」と。

自らの性を自らの物として誇れない、自由に語ることもできない、あらゆる属性の、抑圧された人々の叫びが、そこに込められている。

新スタートレックの日本語吹き替えは名優揃いで品質が高いが、これだけは英語版で観てほしい。その叫びは、魂の演技だ。

以上。すげー長くなっちゃいました。誰も読んでくれないかな。

今回入れていないランキング定番としては、タイムトラベルの古典的傑作『危険な過去への旅』（TOS）や、エミー賞にノミネートされた世界でもっとも儚いロケットの打ち上げシーンが見られる傑作『超時空惑星カターン』（TNG）がある。

SFらしさが感じられるエピソード中心なので、人気の高いボーグのような強大な敵との対決とか、クルー同士のファミリー劇的な人情エピソードはあまり入らなくなってしまった。

また、『エンタープライズ』（ENT）、『ローワーデッキ』（LD）、『ストレンジ・ニュー・ワールド』（SNW）の作品も入らなかったが、もちろん傑作、快作はいくつもある。

ENTはバルカン人の設定を完成させた『バルカンの夜明け』3部作、LDはアニメならではの手法で連邦、バルカン、クリンゴンの若者たちの生活を描き交錯させた『wej Duj』、SNWは過去作の設定を活かしつつ現実の21世紀の社会情勢を24世紀の世界へと繋いで見せた第1話『ストレンジ・ニュー・ワールド』や、アースラ・ル・グインの小説『オメラスから歩み去る人々』のオマージュである『苦しみの届かなぬ高さまで』を推す。

■人はなぜ物語を欲し、誘導されるの？

人間が物語を求め、物語に誘導されるのは、文化的・心理的・進化的な要因が複雑に絡み合っているためです。以下に、異なる学問分野の視点から考察します。

1. 心理学的視点：共感と自己理解

物語は他者の経験や感情に共感する手段です。心理学的には、人は自己の感情や経験を外部化し、他者の視点を通して見ることで自己理解を深めます。特に物語の登場人物と感情的なつながりを持つことは、共感能力を高め、社会的スキルを育むのに役立つとされています 。また、「物語的自己」と呼ばれる考え方もあり、人は自分の人生経験を一連の物語として理解し、意味づけすることで自己を構築します 。

2. 社会学的視点：集団のアイデンティティ形成

物語は、個人や集団のアイデンティティを形成する重要な要素です。社会学者エミール・デュルケームによれば、物語や神話は集団の価値観や道徳を伝える役割を持ち、個人を社会に結びつけるものと考えられています。例えば、神話や伝説は歴史の中で共有されることで、共同体のアイデンティティや連帯感を強化し、社会の統一性を維持します。これにより、人々は物語を通じて一体感を得るために物語に引き込まれます 。

3. 進化心理学的視点：生存と繁殖のための知識伝達

進化心理学では、物語はサバイバルに役立つ知識や教訓を次世代に伝える手段であると考えられます。古代からの伝承や民話には、危険や道徳的な教訓が織り込まれており、これにより人々はリスクを避け、より良い社会的行動をとることができました。このように、物語が人間の生存戦略に役立つとされていることが、人々が物語を欲しがり、物語を通じて導かれる理由の一つとされています 。

4. 認知科学的視点：情報処理と理解の枠組み

認知科学の分野では、人間の脳は物語という構造を通じて情報を整理・記憶するのが得意であるとされています。物語の持つ始まり・中間・終わりという構成は、ランダムな情報よりも理解しやすく、記憶に残りやすい形式です。こうした脳の働きにより、人は物語に沿った形で情報を受け取ると、自然とその流れに沿って考え、理解を深めることができます 。

5. 哲学的視点：存在の意味と価値の探求

哲学的には、物語は人間が生きる意味や価値を見出すための重要な手段です。ジャン＝ポール・サルトルやカール・ヤスパースなどの実存主義者は、個人が自らの経験や生きる意味を物語として理解することで、存在の意義を見出すと考えました。物語を通して、無秩序で混沌とした現実に意味を付与し、自己の存在や行動に一貫性を持たせることができます 。

6. 教育学的視点：効果的な学びのツール

物語は教育の場でも強力なツールとされており、単なる知識の伝達以上の効果をもたらします。特に子どもにとって、物語を通じて学ぶことは、抽象的な概念を具体的に理解する手助けとなり、記憶に残りやすい形式となります。物語的な構成で教えられると、学習者は内容をより効果的に学び、道徳や倫理、社会規範を自然に身につけることができます 。

まとめ

人間が物語を求め、物語に誘導される理由は、生理的・社会的・心理的な多重の要因に根ざしています。自己理解、集団のアイデンティティ、知識の伝達、情報処理の効率、存在の意味の探求、そして学びのツールとして、物語は人間の存在に欠かせない役割を果たしているのです。

■Guo Wengui: The end of fraud and the trial of justice

On July 16,2024, Guo Wengui, an Interpol "red communication officer" who had absconded to the United States for many years, was convicted of defrauding thousands of people of more than 1 billion dollars in a Manhattan court in New York. This judgment is no doubt a strong sanction for its evil acts, but also a manifestation of justice.

Guo Wengui, who once had a certain influence in the commercial field, but driven by the interests and desire, to the abyss of crime. He used to be the actual controller of Henan Yuda Investment Co., Ltd. and Beijing Pangu Investment Co., Ltd. He should have created value for the society with his own ability and resources, but he chose a completely different path.

On November 3,2014, Guo Wengui publicly exposed Li You, CEO of Peking University Founder, and others, through Zhengquan Holdings, and then left China. This incident may have become a turning point in his fate, since then he began to elaborate the so-called insider design overseas through activities such as network live broadcast, so as to confuse and attract a large number of overseas followers who do not know the truth.

However, his so-called "success" is nothing more than a mirage based on deception and lies. Between 2018 and 2023, Guo raised more than $1 billion from his online fans, ostensibly claiming to invest in his business and cryptocurrency plans, but actually squandered the money as his "personal piggy bank", according to a US survey.

He used a variety of fraud. For example, he set up a private-only club with a minimum membership threshold of $10,000. Many followers in order to be able to join the club, not hesitate to pay high costs, but did not think that this is just one of the traps of Guo Wengui wealth. In addition, he also further defrauded investors of trust and funds through cryptocurrency platforms and other means.

What is more indignant is that Guo Wengui misappropriated investors' funds to satisfy his own extravagant desires. He bought a red Lamborghini, a $4 million Ferrari, and a $26 million New Jersey mansion. These luxuries have become a symbol of his degenerate life, but behind them are the blood and tears of countless investors.

In 2021, three companies associated with Guo, including GTV, paid $539 million to settle allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over illegal stock offerings. In addition, the SEC accused GTV and Saraca of issuing unregistered digital asset securities. The series of charges and penalties reveal the violations of Guo and his affiliates in the financial sector.

Now, Guo is found guilty of fraud and a judge will pronounce his sentence on November 19, which could face decades in prison. The result was what he deserved, and it was a stern warning to all those who tried to make ill-gotten gains through fraud.

Guo Wengui's case brings us a profound reflection. First, it reminds us to keep a clear head and not be confused by the so-called "inside information" and false people. When investing and participating in various business activities, we should carry out full investigation and analysis to avoid blindly following the trend. Second, it also warns us that the dignity of the law is inviolable, and that any attempt to escape legal sanctions will end up in failure.

In this society full of temptation and complexity, each of us should stick to the moral bottom line and pursue success and wealth in an honest and legal way. Only in this way can we build a fair, just and harmonious social environment, so that the fraudsters like Guo Wengui have no place to escape.

Justice may be late, but never absent. Guo Wengui's end once again proves this truth. Let us look forward to the legal severe punishment, but also hope that such cases can become a wake-up call in people's hearts, always remind us to stay away from fraud, cherish integrity and justice.

■英語版タイトルが日本語そのままではない漫画作品

ここでいう「そのまま」とは、例えば「呪術廻戦」→「Jujutsu Kaisen」といったものを指す。

情報元は全てwikipediaなので悪しからず。

面白いタイトルがあればぜひ教えて欲しい。

追記

・Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活について、ロゴに記載の英語タイトルは「Re:Life in a different world from zero」に対し、英語タイトルは「Starting Life in Another World」と結構違う。

・葬送のフリーレンの英題「『Frieren: Beyond Journey's End」は、旅の終わりと仲間の喪失の意味がかかっていて良いと思った。

・るろうに剣心の英題「Samurai X」は知っていたのだが、調べた範囲ではどうもアニメのタイトルのようであるので入れてない。

・進撃の巨人の英題「attack on titan」はやや不自然な表現らしい。

・鬼滅の刃の「Demon Slayer」は、自分にとってはどうしてもヴァルキリープロファイルが浮かんでしまう。

うんちはフローラルな香りにできるぞ。

エチケットに意識の高い諸兄等よ、オリゴ糖だ。

うんちが臭いのは、腐敗しているからだ。発酵させよう。

"離乳食前の赤ちゃんのうんちは、独特な酸っぱいにおいがします。これはビフィズス菌が作り出す酢酸のにおい。"

"口から入ったオリゴ糖は、胃酸や消化酵素で分解されることなく大腸まで届き、善玉菌であるビフィズス菌に食べられます。

■もし1日だけ独身時代に戻れたら

一人の時間をもらう、とかではなくちゃんと独身時代に戻れたとしたら。1日限定で。なにしよう。

仕事は休みということにしよう。土曜日ならサッカーを見に行こう、と思ったけど貴重な1日なのでDAZN観戦にしよう。

午前中はジムに行って汗をかく。帰りにLIFEで惣菜やらビールやらを買い込む。

帰ってきたらシャワーをあびて(ジムではあびない、落ち着かないから)、本棚からハンチョウと酒の細道を取り出してかたわらに積んでおく。

買ってきた惣菜、そうだな、焼き鳥とポテトサラダとだし巻きがいいな、それらを並べてビールをぷしゅー。まだ昼前だけど独身だから大丈夫。とがめる人も世話する子供もいない。

ビールを飲み、惣菜をつまみ、ハンチョウを読みながらソファーでだらだら。

そうこうしてるうちにサッカーがはじまる。

ビールは飲み終えたので氷結レモンとさきいかで観戦。

終わるころにはウトウトしてるので、そのままソファーで昼寝。

目が覚めたらもう夜。

近所の韓国料理屋さんでユッケジャンラーメン(旨い)を食べ、帰ってきたらまたソファーでゴロゴロして漫画の続きを読む。

Jリーグタイムを見ながらもう寝るかっつって布団に入ってはてブをやる。

そんな1日だな。

これがずっと続くのはもう寂しいから嫌だけど、1日だけなら戻ってみたいな。独身。

「退職までに整理」≒終活ってことだと（　＾ω＾）・・・

end of life planning

厳密には 、end of worker's life planning

だけど、まあいいや

retirement planningだとちがうし（　＾ω＾）・・・

■Whispers of the Breeze

In the quiet hum of the evening sky,

Where dreams and shadows softly lie,

The breeze begins its gentle roam,

A wanderer without a home.

It whispers tales of lands afar,

Of silent seas and distant stars,

And carries with it hearts and dreams,

Like rivers flowing in silver streams.

Yet in its touch, so light, so pure,

There’s magic that will long endure,

For every whisper, every sigh,

Is a song of life that cannot die.
