“The Great Demographic Reversal: Ageing Societies, Waning Inequality, and an Inflation Revival” を、学術的に・構造的に解説します。
「少子高齢化は前期デフレ、後期インフレ」 という命題を最も明示的に提示した代表的著作です。
Charles Goodhart

📌中央銀行の内側にいた人物が「インフレ復活」を真正面から論じた点が、この本の重みです。
彼らが反論している通念はこれです:
・高齢化=需要減 ・人口減少=デフレ ・技術進歩=永遠の低インフレ
Goodhart & Pradhan はこれを
「過去40年の特殊な人口ボーナスを普遍法則と誤認している」

PS Portal リモートプレーヤーは、ソニーが2023年に発売したPS5ゲーム専用携帯機です。当初はリモートプレイ機能のみでしたが、2025年11月6日の大型アップデートにより、PlayStation Plus プレミアムのクラウドストリーミング機能が正式実装されました。
PS Portalのクラウドストリーミング機能により、特定の条件下ではPS5本体なしでゲームをプレイできるようになりました。ただし「完全にPS5不要」とは言い切れません。
- 推奨:15Mbps以上
PS Portalは実はハイブリッドデバイスで、二つの使い分けが可能です。
PS PortalにはHDMI出力機能はなく、TV・モニター接続は公式には非対応です。背面のUSB Type-C端子は充電専用で、ビデオ出力には対応していません。
### コントローラーを接続すればiPadでもPS Portalに近い体験が可能
| 項目 | PS Portal | iPad + DualSense |
| 画質・安定性 | ハードウェア最適化により高画質・低遅延 | ソフトウェアレベルで若干劣る |
| 遅延 | 最小化、接続速度が「一瞬」 | わずかに遅延あり |
| 画面サイズ | 8インチ | 11インチ以上(iPad Proなら優位) |
| 画面品質 | 専用最適化ディスプレイ | 高精細だが汎用ディスプレイ |
| セットアップ | 電源入れてすぐプレイ | アプリ起動→接続→ログイン毎回必要 |
| 携帯性 | 専用コンパクト設計 | 重く、スタンドが必須 |
| コスト | 約3万円 + 月額1,550円 | 無料(既にiPadとコントローラー所有時) |
| PS5本体電源 | クラウドモード時は不要 | リモートプレイ時は必須 |
| 項目 | PS Portal | iPad(既所有) |
| 初年度総額 | 43,880円 | 0〜12,000円 |
| 2年目以降/年 | 13,900円 | 200〜300円 |
| 5年累計 | 113,680円 | 800〜1,500円 |
| 10年累計 | 183,480円 | 1,600〜3,000円 |
クラウドストリーミング機能が実際に使えるのは、現在のところPS Portalのみです。スマートフォンへのクラウドストリーミング対応は、ソニーの発表では「計画中」ですが、実装は遅れており、実用段階には達していません。
### PS5の優位性は失われつつあります。徐々にSteam移植が進んでおり、ソニーは既に「Only on PlayStation」戦略を放棄したと言っていい段階です。
ソニー経営層が明確に戦略転換を表明しました。PC版リリースはPlayStation Studios収益の大きな部分を占めるようになり、Horizon Forbidden WestやSpider-Man Remasteredが特に好調です。
PC移植の利益性は無視できず、ファーストパーティタイトルはかつてはPS本体を売るためのマーケティングツール(独占独占)だったものが、今後は「強いタイトル」をPS向けだけでなく、PCなどにも展開していくことがマージン(利益率)の大きな改善に繋がるという経営判断です。
現在のソニー戦略は明確化しており、最新作ほどPC移植が早いという傾向があります。
| タイトル | PS5発売時期 | PC移植時期 | 独占期間 |
| God of War Ragnarök | 2022年11月 | 2024年9月 | 約2年 |
| Ghost of Tsushima | 2020年7月 | 2025年5月 | 約4.8年(PS4含む) |
| The Last of Us Part II Remastered | 2024年1月(PS5版) | 2025年2月 | 約1年 |
傾向:最新作ほどPC移植が早い。これは「PC需要が急速に高まっている」ことを示唆しています。
なぜ、まだ独占のままか?
これらについても、ユーザーの要望は根強く、ソニー自体が「いずれPC化も検討中」と示唆しているとの報道があります。
1. ゲーム購入の自由度:Steam版はPS Plus不要、完全な買い切り
2. MOD対応:PCはMODコミュニティ活動(PS5では不可)
3. 将来プレイ保証:PCゲームはサブスク廃止後も遊べるが、PS Plus Premiumサービス終了時の権利が不確定
4. 価格競争:Steamのセール戦略がPS Storeより厳しい
実質的には:
ゲーム業界の評価も「The "Only on PlayStation" era is a relic」と宣言しており、Steamの優位性指摘はゲーム業界の現実を正しく捉えています。
ただし1点:PS Plus Premiumのクラウドストリーミング+ゲームカタログは、まだPS Portalでしか体験できない利点として残っています。
時は西暦2025年、秋🍁。渋谷のスクランブル交差点で、一人のギャルが「あー、まじ今日しんどい、ぴえん(´;ω;`) 映えるスイーツとか、どっかにないん?」ってブツブツ言ってた。
そのとき、突如、ドゥルルルルルル…って、なんかめっちゃドラマチックなBGMが鳴り響いて(※幻聴)、ギャルの目の前に、トレンチコート姿でバチっと決めた、アタマがちょっとフサフサしたイケオジがヌルッと出現!
ギャル、ビビる。「ひゃ、ひゃだ!なんなの、この人!?めっちゃ古風な喋り方なんですけど!もしかして、YouTuberのドッキリ?」
イケオジは、お決まりのポーズ(右手をアゴに当てるやつ)をして、ニヤリ。「ドッキリ?ふむ、それは現代の言葉でいうところの…トリックのようなものでしょうか。しかし、私は古畑任三郎。刑事でございます。どうやら、随分と遠い未来へ迷い込んでしまったようですね…」
「ふるはた…にん…ざぶろう?…え、ちょ、マジで古畑任三郎!?ドラマのやつ!?てか、刑事さんなのに、そのファッション、まじ卍アツいんですけど!」
ギャルは一瞬でテンション爆上げ!まさか、伝説のあの刑事が目の前に現れるなんて、運命としか思えない!これはもう、神からのお告げでしょ!
古畑ちゃま(以下、任三郎っち)は、現代のテクノロジー(スマホとか)や、文化(タピオカとか)に興味津々。特に、コンビニのスイーツコーナーの前で、熱心にアリバイ…じゃなくて、原材料をチェックしてたのが、まじウケる(笑)。
そんな任三郎っちに、ギャルは「任三郎っち、まじセンス良すぎ!そのミステリアスな雰囲気と、知的な喋り方、令和で絶対バズるって!」って力説。
そしてある日、ギャルは任三郎っちと一緒に、スーパーの特売コーナーをパトロール(お買い物)してたとき、運命のアイテムに出会ってしまった。それは…魚肉ソーセージ!
任三郎っち、その魚肉ソーセージを手に取り、くるくる回しながら、いつもの口調で言い出した。
「おや、これは面白い。このピンク色。このプリっとした食感。そして、このどこか懐かしい風味。ふむ…これは、もしかすると、完璧な甘味のミスリードを誘う、鍵になるかもしれませんね…」
ギャル、ビビビ!ときた。「え、まじそれ!魚肉ソーセージって、実は塩気と旨味がヤバいから、スイーツにしたら甘じょっぱブームで超絶バズるんじゃね!?」
任三郎っち、目をキラリ。「なるほど!まさに、犯人が目立たない場所に証拠を隠すように、この魚肉ソーセージという異端な存在こそが、スイーツ界の常識を覆す切り札となりうる!」
こうして、異色の二人がタッグを組み、超絶クレイジーなスイーツビジネスが始動!その名も…
「NINZABURO'S SAUSAGE PARFAIT and CAFE」
(略して、NINPARA!)
コンセプトは「スイーツ界の難事件を解決! 誰もが予測不可能な、甘じょっぱい衝撃!」
まずは試作品作り。ギャルの映えテクニックと、任三郎っちの緻密な観察眼が火を吹いた!
「ギャルさん、このソーセージの厚みがパフェの層と食感を調和させる重要なポイントですよ」 「任三郎っち、まじ天才!じゃあ、このソーセージを花びらみたいにカットして、チーズクリームとメープルシロップを隠し味に使っちゃお!」
「The First Case: プレーン・ソーセージ・パフェ」 (バニラアイスとホイップ、そして大胆にカットされた魚肉ソーセージの塩味が、甘さの快感を増幅させる傑作!)
「The Perfect Alibi: チーズ&ハニー・ソーセージ・パフェ」 (濃厚なクリームチーズムースと、トロけるハチミツ。ソーセージの旨味が、極上のハーモニーを奏でる完全犯罪級のウマさ!)
「The Great Detective: 和風・ネギ味噌・ソーセージ・パフェ」 (衝撃作!抹茶アイスと白玉に、甘めのネギ味噌を和えたソーセージをトッピング。斬新さが事件を起こす!)
NINPARAのオープン当日、渋谷の一等地は、まるで事件現場のような大混乱!超絶ウマいとSNSで瞬く間に拡散され、お店の前は長蛇の列!
「え、マジで魚肉ソーセージとパフェってこんなに合うの!? もう一生モノの衝撃なんですけど!」 「任三郎っち、まじイケオジ!しかも、注文のとき、事件のヒントみたいな名言言ってくれるの、神!」
そう、任三郎っちは、店長兼エンターテイナーとして大活躍!お客さんにパフェを手渡すとき、必ずドラマのようなキメ台詞を言うのが、大バズりの秘訣!
「おや、あなた。そのパフェの美しさに隠された、ソーセージの秘密に、どうかお気づきになってくださいね…フフフ」
このミステリアスな接客と、ギャップ萌えする魚肉ソーセージパフェの斬新さで、NINPARAは飛ぶ鳥を落とす勢いで大成功!全国にフランチャイズ展開し、魚肉ソーセージの概念を根底から覆したのだ!
任三郎っち、たまにトレンチコートのポケットから古い煙草を出そうとして、ギャルに「任三郎っち!店内禁煙!受動喫煙はまじアウトだって!」って怒られるけど、それも微笑ましい日常。
彼は、現代のスイーツ界という新たな事件を、見事な推理力とユーモアで解決し、令和のカリスマ経営者として大成功を収めたのでした。魚肉ソーセージは、彼の第二の人生の最高の相棒になったみたい!
「ふむ…このパフェの成功も、ひとえに緻密な計画と、大胆な発想の賜物。しかし、真の動機は…美味しいものを皆さんにお届けしたいという、単純な願望にすぎません。ええ、全くもって、単純なことです…」
2001年に元BIE議長の2人が、「このままでは万博は存在意義を失う」とはっきり書いていることが、2025年に日本人のほとんどが共有していないことだ。
『万博の歴史』(平野暁臣)第6章より。2000年ハノーバー万博の1000億円規模の大赤字その他の問題噴出に対しての発言。
「What of the Future?」Ted Allen & Patrick Ried 『The Great Exhibitions 150 Years』John Allwood 2001
平野氏の訳によると、
「最初の一歩を踏み出し、ゆるぎない一致団結した行動を起こさなければ、すでに信用を失っているこのメディアは消滅してしまうかもしれない。また同時に、その最盛期に文明の進展におけるマイルストーンになってきたという活動成果がもたらす利益のうちまだ残されているものについても失ってしまうことになるだろう。」
「勇気をもってBIEの役割を根本から問い直し、問題の本質に真正面から取り組むこと以外に、このメディアを死の床から再生させる道はない。」
世界史を見渡しても、織田信長のように「社会全体を根底から変える壮大なヴィジョン」と、スピード・先進性・革新性・軍事力・決断力・因習の排除を兼ね備え、かつ実行力を持ったリーダーはごくわずかです。あえてトップ3を挙げるなら、次の人物が代表格といえます。

According to Fox News, it was Japan whose sale of American bonds yesterday forced Trump's hand to announce a 90-day suspension of tariffs (except for China).

農中お前だったのか、、、
米国債を売り浴びせトランプ関税を90日の延期に追い込み世界のマーケットを崩壊から救ったのは、、、
農中はうなずきながらそのまま倒れ、大底での債券売却損だけが残りましたとさ

農林中金が意図せず「世界を救った」可能性がある。農林中金は、「世界の最強銀行」番付で第2位だ。バーゼル規制で、米国債を強制決済してレバレッジ60倍にしてレポ取引やデリバティブ取引など金融技術で効率よく資産調整をしたのか。農林中金は、農協や漁協などを通じて約90兆円の資産を運用しており、一般に持たれる素朴なイメージとは異なり、実際は非常に積極的な投資姿勢をとる巨大ファンドだ。
午前2時02分
この話は、トランプ大統領の関税政策、農林中央金庫(農林中金)の投資行動、米国債市場、そしてバーゼル規制という金融ルールが絡み合った複雑な出来事です。
一つずつ紐解いていきましょう。
(中略)
つまり、農林中金の米国債売却が、意図せずしてトランプ関税を一時的にストップさせる「引き金」になった可能性があるわけです。
農林中央金庫の北林太郎理事長が各メディアとのインタビューで米国債の大量売却を否定し、「農中説」は憶測にすぎなかったことが確認された
60倍レバが眉唾ゴブよね
農林中金そんなのまずやらないし、既報で大損した撤退戦はもう一山越した後ではないゴブか
8日までに金利が下がったのをこれ幸いに、追加で損切りはしたかもしれんゴブけどね
これか? 60倍のレバレッジをかけた米国債を運用するヘッジファンドと書いてあるが レバレッジは嘘だろう。米国では農林中金はヘッジファンドということになっているから、米国債を大量に売って金利を上げたのは農林中金かもしれない。そうなら、書いてあるように農林中金は世界を救った。
4月11日午後1時16分
農中は多額の評価損で米国債の売却を宣言し売りタイミングを待っていたはず。だとすれば、ベストのタイミングで処理できたのではないか? これから、農中の3月末の状況や対外債券投資状況などのデータが出てくると確認ができるかもしれないが、今は確認はできていないと思う。Foxニュースのソースは?
Both the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 and the tariffs imposed during the Trump administration (starting in 2018 and again in his second term) were protectionist trade measures intended to shield domestic industries from foreign competition. However, they differ in several key aspects:
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930):
Timing: Enacted during the onset of the Great Depression.
Scope: Raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods, primarily targeting agricultural and manufactured goods.
Average Increase: Increased existing import duties by an average of about 20%. Some sources state the average increase on dutiable goods was higher.
Motivation: Primarily aimed at protecting American farmers and industries struggling with overproduction and decreased demand.
Congressional Role: Tariff rates were set by the U.S. Congress.
Economic Context: The U.S. was running a trade surplus at the time, although imports of manufactured goods were increasing.
Impact: Widely blamed for exacerbating the Great Depression by triggering retaliatory tariffs from other countries, leading to a sharp decline in global trade and U.S. exports.
Trump Tariffs (2018-2020 & 2025):
Timing: Implemented during a period of relative economic stability in the first term, and again in a context where Trump declared a "national emergency" regarding foreign trade in his second term.
Scope: Targeted specific countries (e.g., China, EU, Canada, Mexico) and specific industries (e.g., steel, aluminum) initially. The second term actions propose broader tariffs on all countries and potentially higher reciprocal tariffs on those with large trade deficits with the U.S.
Average Increase: The average increase varied depending on the targeted goods and countries. Some reports indicate that Trump's proposed tariffs in his second term could result in an average duty surpassing the levels of Smoot-Hawley.
Motivation: Stated goals included reducing trade deficits, protecting national security, encouraging domestic manufacturing, and addressing what Trump considered unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft. His second term rhetoric emphasizes "reciprocity" and addressing non-tariff barriers.
Presidential Authority: Implemented through presidential executive orders, leveraging national security clauses and other trade laws, granting the President more direct control.
Economic Context: The U.S. had significant trade deficits. Trade as a percentage of GDP was also much larger than in 1930.
Impact: Led to retaliatory tariffs from affected countries, impacting U.S. exports and increasing costs for some American businesses and consumers. The broader potential impact of the second term tariffs is still unfolding, but experts predict higher prices for consumers and negative effects on the U.S. and global economies, with the possibility of a significant reduction in U.S. GDP.
Similarities:
Protectionist Intent: Both aimed to protect domestic industries from foreign competition through the imposition of tariffs.
Unilateral Actions: Both involved significant unilateral actions by the U.S., potentially disrupting established trade relationships.
Risk of Retaliation: Both actions triggered or are expected to trigger retaliatory measures from trading partners.
Key Differences:
Economic Climate: Smoot-Hawley was enacted during a severe economic downturn, while Trump's tariffs were initiated in a more stable (initially) economy.
Target and Scope: Smoot-Hawley was a broadside across many imports, while Trump's tariffs were more targeted initially, with the potential for broader application in his second term with a focus on "reciprocity."
Tariff Levels: While both increased tariffs, the average level and the specific rates on certain goods differed. Some analyses suggest Trump's second-term proposals could exceed the average levels of Smoot-Hawley.
Authority: Smoot-Hawley was a result of Congressional action, while Trump's tariffs were largely driven by presidential authority.
Global Trade Landscape: The global economy and the interconnectedness of trade were vastly different in 1930 compared to the periods of Trump's tariffs.
In conclusion, while both the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and the Trump tariffs share a protectionist motivation, they occurred in different economic contexts, had varying scopes and average levels, and were implemented through different means. The potential for negative economic consequences, including trade wars and harm to the global economy, is a significant concern associated with both historical and contemporary tariff actions.
First dates can be exciting and nerve-wracking all at once. You’re meeting someone new, learning about their interests, and trying to figure out if there’s chemistry between you. And then there’s flirting, that delicate dance of showing someone you’re interested without being too forward or awkward.
Flirting doesn’t have to be a high-pressure situation. In fact, it can be the most fun part of getting to know someone. Whether you're meeting someone on MixerDates or any other platform, the most important thing is to be genuine, stay calm, and let the connection develop naturally.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to flirt on a first date without feeling uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Everyone has their awkward moments, but the more you understand the art of flirting, the easier it becomes. In this article, we’ll break down how to flirt in a way that feels natural, exciting, and authentic to who you are. So, let's dive in and learn how to make the most of your first date experience—without overthinking it.
When it comes to flirting, confidence is key. But what does it really mean to be confident on a first date? Confidence doesn’t mean you need to be perfect, or even outgoing—it simply means being comfortable in your own skin and showing up as your authentic self.
Have you ever noticed how people are drawn to those who radiate self-assurance? It’s not about bragging or dominating the conversation—it’s about presenting yourself with ease. If you feel good about yourself, it will naturally show. A great smile, good posture, and eye contact can go a long way in making a good first impression.
For instance, think about the last time someone walked into a room and immediately caught your attention—not because they were the most attractive person in the room, but because of their energy. They were confident, they were present, and they made you feel at ease. That’s the kind of confidence you want to project on your date.
When you're confident, you're not worried about saying the perfect thing. Instead, you focus on enjoying the moment, making the other person feel comfortable, and letting the connection happen naturally. That’s the magic of confidence—it allows you to be present, fun, and, most importantly, yourself.
Let’s face it—no one wants to feel like they’re being “worked” or put through a game. That’s why subtlety is such a powerful tool when it comes to flirting. It's all about showing interest without being over-the-top or too obvious.
Flirting doesn’t always mean complimenting someone non-stop or using cheesy pickup lines. In fact, the most successful flirting is the kind that happens behind the scenes—subtle, playful, and lighthearted. Think about the little moments, like a teasing comment about how they always order the same thing at a restaurant or the way you laugh at a silly joke they make.
The key is to find a balance. A simple smile or a playful comment can convey interest without being too much. For example, if your date tells you they love hiking but they tend to get lost easily, you could say something like, “So, you’re telling me you need a personal guide? I could get behind that!” It’s lighthearted, humorous, and most importantly, it keeps the conversation fun without putting too much pressure on the situation.
By keeping it subtle, you allow your date to feel at ease. It takes the pressure off them to be perfect and allows both of you to enjoy the interaction more naturally. Flirting doesn’t need to be a performance—it’s about creating an environment where both of you can feel comfortable and authentic.
Now, let’s talk about something incredibly important in the flirting game: active listening. When we’re on a date, we often get caught up in thinking about what to say next, how we’re coming across, or if we’re being interesting enough. But the best way to make an impression? Truly listening to your date.
Active listening means you’re fully engaged in the conversation, giving your date your full attention and responding thoughtfully. It’s about showing that you care about what they’re saying and that you’re genuinely interested in getting to know them better. When you listen actively, you’re also giving them space to open up, and that can create an immediate connection.
For example, if your date mentions they recently traveled to Japan, instead of simply saying, “That’s cool!” you could follow up with something like, “What was the most memorable experience you had there?” This shows that you’re not just hearing their words but are genuinely curious and invested in their experiences. It’s a great way to build rapport and let them know you’re not just there to impress them—you’re there to connect.
While your words are important, body language often speaks louder than anything you can say. Whether you realize it or not, your body is constantly communicating how you feel. How you sit, stand, and move tells your date whether you’re relaxed, engaged, or distracted.
Small gestures can go a long way in flirting. A light touch on the arm, a subtle lean in when they’re speaking, or maintaining good eye contact—all these body language cues help signal your interest. And the great thing is, when done naturally, these cues can be just as effective as words.
For example, if you’re sitting at a café on your date and you lean in slightly when they’re sharing a funny story, you’re not just showing that you’re interested—you’re inviting them into your space. It’s an invitation to connect further. And when they respond by leaning in too, that’s when the magic happens—the unspoken connection that tells you both that there’s potential for more.
Flirting through body language doesn’t mean making grand gestures or being overly touchy. It’s about being present and showing that you’re engaged with your date in a subtle, but meaningful way.
It’s easy to get caught up in overthinking how to flirt or trying to figure out if your date is into you. But here’s a secret—when you let go of the pressure and allow yourself to have fun, everything flows much more naturally. Flirting on a first date doesn’t need to feel like a test or an assignment. It’s supposed to be a fun, lighthearted experience that sets the stage for more great dates ahead.
When was the last time you had a genuinely fun date? Was it when you were trying too hard to impress, or when you were both laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other's company? Flirting becomes effortless when you're present, enjoying the moment, and letting the connection grow naturally.
Sometimes, it's the small moments—like sharing a laugh or swapping embarrassing stories—that make a first date truly special. When you focus on having fun, you create an environment where both of you can relax, flirt, and let the chemistry grow. That’s the secret to a great date.
One of the best things about using a platform like MixerDates is that it takes the guesswork out of the equation. By connecting with someone who already shares your interests and values, you’ve got a head start on making a real connection. No more swiping through countless profiles hoping for a spark—on MixerDates, you already know there’s something in common.
When you’re already on the same page with your date, flirting comes more easily. There’s less of that awkward, “Are we even on the same wavelength?” feeling, and more of the fun, “Wow, we really click!” vibe. Whether you’re talking about favorite hobbies, movies, or life goals, the conversation flows naturally, making the flirting feel effortless.
If you're looking for a place to meet like-minded people and build genuine connections, MixerDates is the perfect platform. It's a great place to find someone who appreciates you for who you are and who you can naturally flirt with, without the stress.
Flirting on a first date is all about confidence, connection, and fun. When you let go of the pressure and focus on enjoying the experience, the chemistry will naturally follow. Remember, the best way to flirt is by being yourself—let your personality shine through, listen with intention, and embrace the moment.
And if you’re ready to meet someone new, who’s just as interested in making a connection as you are, MixerDates is the perfect place to start. So go ahead, take the leap, and see where it leads. Who knows? Your next great connection might be just a click away.

F・スコット・フィッツジェラルドの小説、「The Great Gatsby」は次のイントロで始まる。
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
He didn’t say any more, but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that.
訳:
彼はこう言うた「誰かを批判しそうになったら、、、思い出しなさい、みんながキミと同じ境遇、能力、優位性を兼ね備えているわけではないことを」
普段あんまり細かいことごちゃごちゃ言う人や無かったけど、これがなんか頭に残ってるねん、ワイまだ若くて繊細やったしな。
このセンテンスは日本人で言えば
「吾輩は猫である」
レベルの著名なフレーズで、同書はアメリカ高校生は必読で頻繁に引用もされるので知らないアメリカ人はいない
トランプ大統領はコモンセンスをぶっ壊すというてるが、こいつは無理だろうってレベルでアメリカ人に共有されたコモンセンスの一つである
(多民族国家だから日本ほどの普及率ではないがマトモな教育を受けたミドルクラスならほぼ100%だろう)
で重要なのは「haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.」だわね
教育者は「人の能力は生まれ持って同じ」と定義し戦後教育の再設計をした。
日本ではしばし炎上暴走が起きる、ブレーキがかからず対象者が死ぬか没落するか、土下座するまで止まらない
その様を観察してて、おれはいつもグレート・ギャッツビーのこの一節を思い出すわけです

Everyone been wondering why Yonezu (last name) Kenshi (first name) is wearing the heeled shoes. In one of his interviews he said that once he dreamed a funeral. Everyone was sad, but suddenly someone in the first line started to whistle loudly, in a way that annoyed the other people. They all started to say that he wasn't respecting the dead person because he wasn't being in silence for him, but Kenshi knew that the man whistling was communicating with the dead one. That was their own unique way to recognize each other. Maybe the others will think you're crazy or something negative, but it won't change the love that the whistling man has for his dead friend. Turns out that Kenshi got inspired by this dream so in the sing he wore heeled shoes, because he wants to let us know that he doesn't care what others say, it's his special way to express himself, because Kenshi was affected by High-functioning Autism which brought him to be smarter than the average, but he couldn't handle with social relationships, that's why he never had many friends since a young age and everyone made fun of him because of his character.
米津(姓)ケンシ(名)がなぜヒールの靴を履いているのか、誰もが不思議に思っていることだろう。
彼はあるインタビューで、葬式の夢を見たことがあると言っていた。みんな悲しんでいたのに、突然一列目の誰かが、他の人たちを困らせるような大きな口笛を吹き始めた。
彼らは皆、口笛を吹いているのは死者に敬意を払っていない、死者のために黙っているのではない、と言い始めた。それが彼ら独自の認識方法だったのだ。
もしかしたら、他の人からは頭がおかしいとか否定的な見方をされるかもしれないが、口笛を吹いている男が死んだ友人を愛していることに変わりはない。
というのも、ケンシは高機能自閉症の影響を受けていて、平均よりも頭がいいのだが、社会的な人間関係をうまくこなすことができなかった。
This made Kenshi very sad and from then on he started to hate himself because of his very uncommon name (in Japan there aren't many people that have Yonezu as last name and no one, but Yonezu Kenshi, is called Kenshi or the spelling is similar, plus it sounds like a stage name as well) he thought he was strange and weird, an uncommon person who shouldn't have existed (in fact in Japan there is a very strong will to follow the mass, which means if the greater part of girls have bangs, then the girls without bangs will try to have them or if they remain what they are, they might be isolated because different from the rest of the population). But Kenshi to make us, his fans, satisfied, he decided to collaborate with many people in the 2017 like the animators for MHA, DAOKO and Suda Masaki.
このことがケンシをとても悲しくさせ、それ以来ケンシは自分の名前の珍しさ(日本では米津を名字に持つ人は少ないし、米津ケンシ以外はケンシと呼ばないし、スペルも似ていない、 存在しないはずの珍しい人(実際、日本では大衆に従おうとする意志が非常に強い。つまり、前髪のある女の子が多ければ、前髪のない女の子も前髪を作ろうとするし、前髪のないままだと、他の人とは違うという理由で孤立するかもしれない)。しかし、ケンシは私たちファンを満足させるために、MHAのアニメーターやDAOKO、菅田将暉など、2017年に活躍した多くの人々とのコラボレーションを決めた。
He changed during his musical career, like the time he was still Hachi (ハチ) and he felt somehow lost in all of his fame, so he made this song wearing heeled shoes and then the next song, Flamingo, is very different from Lemon because many people started to listen and to know him after Lemon, but he wanted to know what they would think if Kenshi changed the rhythm and the kind, turns out that many of them were attracted by Lemon and they didn't like Flamingo, but they still subbed to Kenshi's YouTube channel. Thank you for reading all of this, English isn't my mother language so I'm sorry for the mistakes and as always, have a nice day :D
彼は音楽活動の中で変わっていった。例えば、彼がまだハチだった頃、有名になることにどこか迷いを感じて、ヒールのある靴を履いてこの曲を作った、 というのも、多くの人がLemonの後にKenshiを聴き始め、知るようになったからだ。しかし、彼はKenshiがリズムや種類を変えたらどう思うかを知りたかった。英語は母国語ではないので、間違いがあってごめんなさい。
Edit: You can find a video summary of Yonezu Kenshi's life and all of his interviews, it's in Mandarin tho. I hope you have a good translator to understand what he's saying.
米津建志の人生とインタビューの要約ビデオを見ることができます。彼が何を言っているのか理解するために、良い翻訳者がいることを願う。
The problem is that, like Don Quixote, in front of people who are not tolerant of his dreams, the problem is not that he is a "knight" who just "assumes" himself, but that he is "a knight" even though he is not really a knight. You should know that you are acting.''
問題はドン・キホーテのように、みずからの夢に寛大ではない人々の前で、ただ「思いこんでいる」というだけの「騎士」ぶりではなく、じぶんさほんとうは騎士ではないのに「騎士を演じているのだ」ということを知っておけということである。
Life is a game anyway, and even if you only accept the facts as facts, time passes in the blink of an eye.
If you don't have the imagination to see a windmill as a giant, it's not interesting or weird. Rather than just being a middle-aged naive person who is obsessed with that dream and stubbornly affirms himself, I would like to have the leeway to say, ``I'm just having a little fun.''
We live in a society where the greatest enemy of facts is truth.
どうせ、生きることはゲームであり、事実を事実としてだけ受け入れていても、あっというまに月日は流れる。
風車を巨人に見たてる位の想像力でもなければおもしろくもおかしくもない。ただその夢の虜になって、頑なに自己肯定する中年の世間知らずであるよりは、「ちょっとプレイしているのさ」とうそぶく余裕がほしい。

The Sacrament—and the Sacrifice
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
I pray for your faith and prayers that my utterances will be received and understood “by the Spirit of truth” and that my expressions will be given “by the Spirit of truth” so that we might all be “edified and rejoice together.” (See D&C 50:21–22.)
As I stand here today—a well man—words of gratitude and acknowledgment of divine intervention are so very inadequate in expressing the feelings in my soul.
Six months ago at the April general conference, I was excused from speaking as I was convalescing from a serious operation. My life has been spared, and I now have the pleasant opportunity of acknowledging the blessings, comfort, and ready aid of my Brethren in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and other wonderful associates and friends to whom I owe so much and who surrounded my dear wife, Ruby, and my family with their time, attention, and prayers. For the inspired doctors and thoughtful nurses I express my deepest gratitude, and for the thoughtful letters and messages of faith and hope received from many places in the world, many expressing, “You have been in our prayers” or “We have been asking our Heavenly Father to spare your life.” Your prayers and mine, thankfully, have been answered.
One unusual card caused me to ponder upon the majesty of it all. It is an original painting by Arta Romney Ballif of the heavens at night with its myriad golden stars. Her caption, taken from Psalms, reads:
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
“… His understanding is infinite.” (Ps. 147:1, 3–5.)
As I lay in the hospital bed, I meditated on all that had happened to me and studied the contemplative painting by President Marion G. Romney’s sister and the lines from Psalms: “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I was then—and continue to be—awed by the goodness and majesty of the Creator, who knows not only the names of the stars but knows your name and my name—each of us as His sons and daughters.
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? …
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” (Ps. 8:3–5.)
To be remembered is a wonderful thing.
The evening of my health crisis, I knew something very serious had happened to me. Events happened so swiftly—the pain striking with such intensity, my dear Ruby phoning the doctor and our family, and I on my knees leaning over the bathtub for support and some comfort and hoped relief from the pain. I was pleading to my Heavenly Father to spare my life a while longer to give me a little more time to do His work, if it was His will.
While still praying, I began to lose consciousness. The siren of the paramedic truck was the last that I remembered before unconsciousness overtook me, which would last for the next several days.
The terrible pain and commotion of people ceased. I was now in a calm, peaceful setting; all was serene and quiet. I was conscious of two persons in the distance on a hillside, one standing on a higher level than the other. Detailed features were not discernible. The person on the higher level was pointing to something I could not see.
I heard no voices but was conscious of being in a holy presence and atmosphere. During the hours and days that followed, there was impressed again and again upon my mind the eternal mission and exalted position of the Son of Man. I witness to you that He is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, Savior to all, Redeemer of all mankind, Bestower of infinite love, mercy, and forgiveness, the Light and Life of the world. I knew this truth before—I had never doubted nor wondered. But now I knew, because of the impressions of the Spirit upon my heart and soul, these divine truths in a most unusual way.
I was shown a panoramic view of His earthly ministry: His baptism, His teaching, His healing the sick and lame, the mock trial, His crucifixion, His resurrection and ascension. There followed scenes of His earthly ministry to my mind in impressive detail, confirming scriptural eyewitness accounts. I was being taught, and the eyes of my understanding were opened by the Holy Spirit of God so as to behold many things.
The first scene was of the Savior and His Apostles in the upper chamber on the eve of His betrayal. Following the Passover supper, He instructed and prepared the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for His dearest friends as a remembrance of His coming sacrifice. It was so impressively portrayed to me—the overwhelming love of the Savior for each. I witnessed His thoughtful concern for significant details—the washing of the dusty feet of each Apostle, His breaking and blessing of the loaf of dark bread and blessing of the wine, then His dreadful disclosure that one would betray Him.
He explained Judas’s departure and told the others of the events soon to take place.
Then followed the Savior’s solemn discourse when He said to the Eleven: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)
Our Savior prayed to His Father and acknowledged the Father as the source of His authority and power—even to the extending of eternal life to all who are worthy.
He prayed, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Jesus then reverently added:
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:3–5.)
He pled not only for the disciples called out from the world who had been true to their testimony of Him, “but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.” (John 17:20.)
When they had sung a hymn, Jesus and the Eleven went out to the Mount of Olives. There, in the garden, in some manner beyond our comprehension, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world. His agony in the garden, Luke tells us, was so intense “his sweat was as … great drops of blood falling … to the ground.” (Luke 22:44.) He suffered an agony and a burden the like of which no human person would be able to bear. In that hour of anguish our Savior overcame all the power of Satan.
The glorified Lord revealed to Joseph Smith this admonition to all mankind:
“Therefore I command you to repent …
“For … I, God, … suffered … for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; …
“Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, …
“Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments.” (D&C 19:15–16, 18, 20.)
During those days of unconsciousness I was given, by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, a more perfect knowledge of His mission. I was also given a more complete understanding of what it means to exercise, in His name, the authority to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven for the salvation of all who are faithful. My soul was taught over and over again the events of the betrayal, the mock trial, the scourging of the flesh of even one of the Godhead. I witnessed His struggling up the hill in His weakened condition carrying the cross and His being stretched upon it as it lay on the ground, that the crude spikes could be driven with a mallet into His hands and wrists and feet to secure His body as it hung on the cross for public display.
Crucifixion—the horrible and painful death which He suffered—was chosen from the beginning. By that excruciating death, He descended below all things, as is recorded, that through His resurrection He would ascend above all things. (See D&C 88:6.)
Jesus Christ died in the literal sense in which we will all die. His body lay in the tomb. The immortal spirit of Jesus, chosen as the Savior of mankind, went to those myriads of spirits who had departed mortal life with varying degrees of righteousness to God’s laws. He taught them the “glorious tidings of redemption from the bondage of death, and of possible salvation, … [which was] part of [our] Savior’s foreappointed and unique service to the human family.” (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1977, p. 671.)
I cannot begin to convey to you the deep impact that these scenes have confirmed upon my soul. I sense their eternal meaning and realize that “nothing in the entire plan of salvation compares in any way in importance with that most transcendent of all events, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord. It is the most important single thing that has ever occurred in the entire history of created things; it is the rock foundation upon which the gospel and all other things rest,” as has been declared. (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966, p. 60.)
Father Lehi taught his son Jacob and us today:
“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.
“Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.
“Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.
“Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.” (2 Ne. 2:6–9.)
Our most valuable worship experience in the sacrament meeting is the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, for it provides the opportunity to focus our minds and hearts upon the Savior and His sacrifice.
The Apostle Paul warned the early Saints against eating this bread and drinking this cup of the Lord unworthily. (See 1 Cor. 11:27–30.)
Our Savior Himself instructed the Nephites, “Whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily [brings] damnation to his soul.” (3 Ne. 18:29.)
Worthy partakers of the sacrament are in harmony with the Lord and put themselves under covenant with Him to always remember His sacrifice for the sins of the world, to take upon them the name of Christ and to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. The Savior covenants that we who do so shall have His spirit to be with us and that, if faithful to the end, we may inherit eternal life.
Our Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that “there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation,” which plan includes the ordinance of the sacrament as a continuous reminder of the Savior’s atoning sacrifice. He gave instructions that “it is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus.” (D&C 6:13; D&C 20:75.)
Immortality comes to us all as a free gift by the grace of God alone, without works of righteousness. Eternal life, however, is the reward for obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel.
I testify to all of you that our Heavenly Father does answer our righteous pleadings. The added knowledge which has come to me has made a great impact upon my life. The gift of the Holy Ghost is a priceless possession and opens the door to our ongoing knowledge of God and eternal joy. Of this I bear witness, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.

300円のVampire Survivors、遊戯王マスターデュエル、ELDEN RINGが大きく浮上。Vampire Survivorsはかなりの中毒性があるようだ。ポケモンアルセウスも一気に配信されたが、昨今はやや落ち着いた。NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSEも前回記事以降に大流行したが旬は過ぎたか。
原神は割とやられていると感じたので、やや定番にあげた。ただしガチャ配信が多い?ひきこもりの少年を主人公にしたRPGのOMORIも地味に注目のゲームである。クイズとアクションを組み合わせたゲーム、SurvivalQuizCityが来るとの観測があったが、いまいちハジケきらない。
「マーガリンはプラスチックと同じだ」という荒唐無稽な風説は有名だと思うが、これへのカウンターとして「英単語plasticは樹脂製品を指すのではなく“可塑性の”という意味の形容詞なのに英語のわからぬアホが誤訳して騒ぎ出したのだ」という説があり、SNS等で人気が高い。
先日話題になった件(*1)への反応では非常に多く見られたし、1年ほど前にも「誤訳による日本ローカルな迷信」とするツイートがバズっていいねを2万近くも集めていたようだ。
だがこれは正しくない。margarine plastic とでも検索してみれば英語圏でやはり同じような迷信が普及しているのはすぐにわかる。つまり訳の問題ではなく日本ローカルでもない。
一例としてファクトチェックサイト大手のSnopesは2003年の記事で当時流行したチェーンメール「Butter vs. Margarine」の文面を掲載している(*2)。
Margarine is but one molecule from being PLASTIC(マーガリンとプラスチックは分子1つしか違わない)
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?(タッパーウェアを溶かしてトーストに塗りますか?)
実際にはこのネタの出どころは昔から判明しており(*3)(*4)、Fred Rohéというアメリカの自然食運動家が80年代に書いた「The Great Margarine Experiment」なる文章がそれにあたる。
プラスチック説と同じくらい有名な「マーガリンを野ざらしにしたのに虫が寄り付かなかった」という実験が出てくるのもこれ。
この中に「顕微鏡で観察すると水素添加された油脂の分子はプラスチックの分子そっくり」という趣旨の話があり、引用を繰り返されて世間に広まったようだ。
デマを疑うような人たちがこんな検索一発でわかる誤った説を信じてしまうのはちょっとお粗末に思える。
意地悪な見方をするなら、誤訳説を唱える人のツイートには「まったくこいつらはこんな簡単な英語もわからないのか」というトーンが含まれているようであり、
トンチキな相手を馬鹿にしたいが分子構造がどうとかの話は難しくてわからないから自分でも理解できる説に飛びついた…というところではないだろうか。
