HiroTHamadaJP This past year has been quite hard, but gradually my friends have increased and there are more and more things they can carry on.
I can feel that there is a little bit of money coming in and a little bit of attention.
I would like to discuss this on a deeper level, but I feel we are finally getting to that.
HiroTHamadaJP I gave this text at the end of 2020, not to explain why millionaires create foundations, but to argue that “the I wrote it not to explain why millionaires create foundations, but to argue that “there are changes in industrial structure in the timing of their emergence, and currently one of them is cryptocurrency and blockchain.

HiroTHamadaJP I knew that if I told them this directly they would not understand, so I took a route that would help them understand it from a historical context.
It was good to be able to focus on Jokichi Takamine and Masatoshi Okochi in that context.
HiroTHamadaJP From there, it was great to get back to Science and Technology Basic Law, holding down SBIR and Bayh-Dole Act. It was great to be able to go back to SBIR and Bayh-Dole Act. Then, I followed the trend of Koji Omi and OIST.
It was important, though obvious, to be able to trace back to Yujiro Hayashi of Third Sector Theory from the discussion of philanthropy, which is an important factor in these discussions.
HiroTHamadaJP My main task was to inherit these contexts and join them with contemporary issues (AI alignment, etc.), It was a very solitary task.
In that context, few people would know that I was theoretically put up on DeSci. Many people will know me from events.
I was fortunate that I was able to do this kind of (albeit incomplete) theoretical work and even event. I really wanted to make things, but I managed to do it.
HiroTHamadaJP My wish is that you leave behind the fact that this is how I have conducted my meta-science perspective. I hope that I will be able to leave behind the fact that I have been working on metascience from this perspective. I think it had such an impact in the future that it opened up a new field.
HiroTHamadaJP Maybe people forget my contribution, but I think it will be so commonplace.
HiroTHamadaJP This is all I could think of about a year and a half ago. I believe we can move differently next time.
HiroTHamadaJP This would never have been possible without the support of Mr. Kanai and Alaya officials. More to the point, I say this with the belief that Araya will sooner or later emerge as a center for private-sector-led innovation.
