Get to know the Chinese sheng, an instrument whose name invokes peace, harmony and balance between humans, nature and the universe. The sheng has a history stretching back many centuries, and is the ancestor of all free-reed instruments (such as the accordion, and the free-reed stops on the organ). It also inspires today’s composers, from China and around the world. Virtuoso sheng player Wu Wei demonstrates the versatility of his instrument, and how to prepare and tune it (including where to pour the hot water in!).

■Universe Lost

Universe25とかいう大昔の実験が話題になっている。水や食料が豊富な場所にマウスを放つと、繁栄するどころか争った末に社会性が失われて絶滅するというもので、

この結果が正しければ、進化論や利己的遺伝子論に対する世間一般の解釈も修正が必要になってしまうだろう。

そうなっていないのは、60年前の時点で少子高齢化が喫緊の課題になっていなかったことと、実験の確度についてあまり信用がなかったことが挙げられるが、

そもそも提唱者が示していたのは「生物個体の過密状態によって行動の崩壊が生じること」であり、水や食料が豊富＝ユートピアというネーミングに関しては誤解があるものと思われる。

滅びゆく世界にもヒーローが現れたりはせず、ただ滅びゆくだけだというのは殆どの生物にとって常識だが、現生人類にとっては受け入れ難い。

ネット上でワンパンマンやフリーレンが人気を博したのは偶然ではなく、サイレントテロは彼らが思った以上に大成功する。

賽は投げられた？いやいや、もう決着はついてんだよ。

■なんだかんだで先進国の豊かな暮らしを手放そうとしないんだろお前ら

「人権重視の先進国は間違い！そのせいで少子化で滅びる！タリバンが正しい！」とか言いつつ、

人権によって守られた、先進国の豊かな暮らしを手放す気はないんだろお前ら

違うならそれこそアフガニスタンに移住すればいいじゃないか

UNIVERSE 25というネズミを使った実験だと、

豊かすぎる環境になると自然と少子化になるという結果が出た。

そういうことなんだろうな。ネズミに女性の社会進出もクソもないし。

実際どの国も、経済的に豊かになるほど少子化が進んでる。

ミクロで見ても貧乏子沢山という言葉があるし。

かと言って、お前らはどうせ豊かさを手放す気はないんだろ。

治安の良い国で、頑丈な家の快適な室温に設定された部屋で、のんびりポテチ食いながら、「人権思想と女性の社会進出のせいで少子化ガー！」ってスマホポチポチしてんだろ

で、貧乏人が子供産んだら無計画に産むなって眉顰めるんだろ

In the year 3000, humanity had finally discovered the secrets of the multiverse. Using their most advanced technology, they had found a way to travel between different parallel universes, each with their own unique physical laws and structures.

As the first explorers set out on their journeys, they encountered a myriad of strange and wondrous worlds. Some universes were filled with infinite copies of themselves, while others were constantly shifting and changing, their physical laws in a state of constant flux.

As they traveled deeper into the multiverse, the explorers encountered universes that seemed to follow completely different sets of physical laws. In some, time flowed backwards, and cause and effect were reversed. In others, matter was made up of entirely different particles, and energy behaved in completely unexpected ways.

As the explorers continued to journey further, they began to encounter universes that seemed to be simulations, created by beings in higher dimensions. They encountered universes where the laws of physics were entirely mathematical, and others where the very fabric of reality was made up of pure information.

At last, the explorers came to a universe that seemed to encompass all of the many-worlds interpretations. In this universe, every possible outcome of every possible event was played out in infinite parallel realities. The explorers marveled at the incredible complexity and diversity of this universe, as they watched endless versions of themselves carrying out endless variations of their own adventures.

As they prepared to leave this universe and return home, the explorers realized that they had only scratched the surface of the multiverse. They knew that there were still countless more universes to explore, each with their own unique physical laws and structures.

And so, they set out once more, to journey deeper into the multiverse, and to discover the secrets of the infinite many-worlds that lay waiting to be explored.

As the explorers continued their journey, they encountered a universe where time did not exist, and another where the laws of physics were governed by emotion rather than math. In yet another universe, they discovered that consciousness itself was the fundamental building block of reality.

As they explored further, the explorers encountered universes where the laws of physics were not constants but varied across space and time. They found a universe where entropy decreased over time, and another where gravity was repulsive rather than attractive.

At the edge of the multiverse, the explorers discovered a universe that seemed to contain all of the other universes within it. This universe was infinite in size and contained infinite variations of itself, each one a slightly different version of the universe they knew.

As they traveled through this universe, the explorers encountered versions of themselves that had made different choices and lived different lives. Some of these versions were almost identical to their own, while others were wildly different, with entirely different personalities and goals.

At last, the explorers returned to their own universe, their minds reeling from the incredible sights and experiences they had witnessed. They knew that the multiverse was an endless sea of possibility, and that there were still countless more universes to explore.

As they shared their discoveries with the rest of humanity, they realized that the true nature of the multiverse was still a mystery. They knew that there were many theories and hypotheses, but no one could say for sure which one was right.

And so, the explorers continued their journey, driven by a hunger to uncover the secrets of the multiverse and to understand the true nature of reality itself.
