Slept a lot (woke up at 10:00)

Some people have interpreted my actions over the past month or so as “trying to reduce the power of certain political factions” and criticized me for doing so.

• I don’t think it’s properly understood.
• On the other hand, they don’t seem to want to get it right on the other end.
• If there is no great loss in not being understood as my side in such a situation, then I don’t have to pay the cost for me to be understood correctly, I suppose. - Don’t persuade people you don’t need to persuade.

Mr. Yasuno’s candid opinion when he was consulted about running for office.

• I’m not really interested in politics (=I’m not interested in which Homo sapiens some regional individuals choose as their boss monkey).

Subsequent Conversations

• nishio I askedTakahiro Yasuno, “What would you think if, for example, another candidate used TTTC during the election?” I asked him “How would you feel if, for example, another candidate uses TTTC during the election?” and he immediately answered “It would be a good thing to promote digital democracy in Japan.

I have always had a tendency toward progressivism, and I consider it a crime against civilization to impede the progress of civilization. - Snowball rolls and gets bigger. There is a predisposition for exponential growth like that. - Parable of the New Combination and the Surface of the Water, with a difference in the surface of the water. - Do it when you have the ability to make a hole or widen a hole for yourself in the situation. - Do it the way you think it will work. - effective altruism

They don’t care about the existing forces that would be disadvantaged by that progress.

• We are not trying to “reduce the power” of those people.

• They are driving the progress of civilization.

• The “disadvantaged existing forces” simply haven’t adapted to the changing environment.

• It is normal for some existing forces to decline when the environment changes.

• I may help those who ask for help, but I’m not going to help those who denounce me.

  • It is inefficient to antagonize the hostile.

• If you want to adapt to a change in environment, you’d better be friendly.

  • Well, since you’ve sent a hostile message to me, you’ve already made me much less of a priority for friendly relations.
  • It’s like the character in Civilization who suddenly declares war on an unknown tribe he meets.
  • He may be attacking that existing force because he thinks it’s good for them, but it may be having the opposite effect.
    • Given that, the no disparagement of other camps policy was well done.

• Exponential growth over the pass
