政治・経済について　On politics and economics

プライマリーバランスについて疑問に思う。借金取りはだれで、何を目的で、いつ来るのかがわからない。良い国家・政治とは赤字である。政府が赤字である分国民が黒字であると考える。
政府と国民はお金のバランスにおいては天秤の両端にあると思う。

I wonder about primary balance. We don't know who the debt collectors are, what they want and when they are coming. A good state and government is a deficit. The people think that the people are in the black because the government is in the red.
The government and the people are at two ends of the scale in terms of the balance of money.

最近の国民の選挙に対する関心のなさ、政治家達のマニフェストの達成率の悪さ、国の戦略も幼稚に感じる。今の民主主義のシステムでは良い国を作り、それを存続させることは不可能だと考える。なぜ良い国家が存続できないか。政治家が国民に見ためで選ばれるからだと考える。
存続が長くなると見掛け倒しの政治家であふれる。
国民は国家に依存し任せきりになり経験・知識が不足する。(政治弱者になる)
良いリーダーを選ぶことが出来なくなり滅ぶ。
また国民から悪く見え滅ぶこともある、それが真実ではなかったとしても。

The people's lack of interest in elections these days, the politicians' poor achievement of their manifestos, and the country's strategy seems childish. I believe that it is impossible to build and sustain a good nation in the current democratic system. Why is it impossible for a good nation to survive? We believe it's because politicians are elected by the people for appearances.
The longer a nation survives, the more it is overrun with deceptive politicians.
The people become dependent on the state and are left to their own devices, lacking in experience and knowledge. (They become politically weak.)
They can't elect good leaders and perish.
It can also perish because it looks bad to the people, even if that's not true.

正しい真実を伝えても信じる人が少なければ、多数の誤った意見に流され間違いを犯す。もし騙されているかもと感じたらどうするか？相手がどこからお金を得ているかを知れば良い。

If you tell the right truth and few people believe it, they will be carried away by a multitude of false opinions and make mistakes. What if you feel that you might be deceived? You just need to know where they are getting their money from.

宗教について　On religion

政治や社会の話をすると宗教・スピリチュアルが絡んでくることが多い。理由は信用できる過去のデータを示すことが出来なかったからだと考える。
過去のデータにより人を説得する力が欲しかったためだろう。
過去の成功や過ちを宗教やスピリチュアルの形で伝えた先人の知恵だったのではないか。
ただ、利己的な人間が利用し改竄する（悪人となる）危険性が高かった。
現在で宗教やスピリチュアルを有効活用するには改竄がないか・現状と合っているかを精査する必要がある。残念ながらそれらは難しく利用度は低いと考える。
使用できるデータは作成者の意図が入り込むため人間が作るべきではない。

When we talk about politics and society, religion/spirituality often comes into play.  We think the reason is that they could not show any credible historical data.
It is probably because they wanted to be able to persuade people with data from the past.
It may have been the wisdom of our ancestors who passed on past successes and mistakes in the form of religion and spirituality.
However, there was a high risk that selfish people would use and falsify it (and become bad people).
In order to make effective use of religion and spirituality in today's world, it is necessary to scrutinize them for falsification and to ensure that they are in line with the current situation. Unfortunately, we believe that this is difficult to do and that they are not used very often.
The data that can be used should not be created by humans because of the intrusion of the intentions of the creator.

教育について　On education

日本の現状 科学と数学が世界でハイレベル 読解力が低レベル
教育で見誤ってはならないのは生徒たちの知能の高さ。

子供たちは未熟で経験が浅いが愚かではない。教師である大人より未来に対し本気で考えている。教える教師の立場の大人の方が愚かだと考えるくらいで丁度良い。

世界に比べて教育にかけるコストが最低レベル
教師数・教師の勤務時間の問題→質の低下

読解力の低下
質問の仕方が下手な人が多い
相手が答えやすいように １項目に絞るのと合わせて回答の方向性も示すこともしましょう

Japan's Current Status Science and Math are at the highest level in the world Reading Comprehension is at a low level
What must not be misplaced in education is the intelligence of the students.

Children are immature and inexperienced, but they are not stupid. They think more seriously about the future than adults who are teachers. It's just as well that they think that adults are more stupid than the teachers who teach them.

The cost of education is the lowest in the world compared to the rest of the world.
Problems with the number of teachers and teacher work hours -> Decline in quality

Decline in reading comprehension.
A lot of people aren't very good at asking questions.
Narrow your answers down to one item to make it easier for the other person to answer, and at the same time, point them in the right direction.
