  • I feel that those who say that people’s lives do or do not add up to a story are trying too hard to find a story to tell about people’s lives.

2024/3/1 - Nodal point of thought 2024-02-21 を読んで、「腑に落ちる」気持ちが増した/villagepump/blu3mo.icon - Do you feel more understanding because you have a glimpse of the macro policy (independent of the company’s requirements) as a researcher?

  • Recently/villagepump/blu3mo.icon has been trying to build a coherent theme that can explain his own past/future R&D
    • reason
      • I find it interesting to research and develop under a consistent theme ([/blu3mo-public/going back and forth between abstract and concrete](https://scrapbox.io/blu3mo-public/going back and forth between abstract and concrete)-like motivations).
      • I think it is easier to be recognized and interested if there is a theme/story that is easy to understand externally.
        • I expect to be remembered like a “00 person.”
      • I think it’s cool to do research and development under a consistent theme.
  • In the process of working on that, maybe you wondered because /villagepump/nishio.icon didn’t seem to be thinking much about macro policies.

  • I see. Interesting.
  • [As for ""trying too hard to find a story in people’s lives,"" I felt that it was not “too much.
    • In some professions storytelling is a source of competitive advantage.
    • /villagepump/blu3mo.iconunderstands that and is trying to design and build his own story.
      • It is easier to be recognized and interested if there is a theme/story that is easy to understand externally.
    • I understand that when I observed the surroundings during the process, there were cases (/villagepump/nishio.icon) that I was not sure how they were designed to work, so I was curious about them.
  • I, on the other hand, ask, “Can we design that story in advance? We don’t know in advance.?” I’m thinking.
    • from spreads its stain as water soaks into a cloth.
      • The metaphor in my mind is Connecting The Dots, where the “dots” are first and then “connected” later.

        • “I wonder if this connects to any past dots?” the more past dots you have, the more likely you are to discover a connection.

        • so I’ll hit a lot of dots and publish promptly.

    • from planned contingency theory
      • Counselors need to guide clients to engage in exploratory activities to increase the probability of finding [unexpected career opportunities

    • from Connecting The Dots
      • You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

    • Trade-offs between use and exploration, people become under-explored when left alone (especially as they get older), so they must be aware of their exploratory behavior
    • That search is so far removed from our previous achievements that it is difficult for outsiders to see the connection. - Take a position before others see the value.
      • We’re trying to open up places where we don’t have connections yet, so of course we’re trying to open up places where we don’t have connections yet.
    • Often it even seems irrational. - Decisions supported by multiple perspectives of different observation ranges
    • Why are you keeping track of the cost to tailgating and name-your-price conference?
      • Because we believe it could be the DOT that leads to the future.
      • When you compare the recording cost you pay now with the value you will get when you connect in the future, the latter is considered to be greater, so it is done as a long-term investment.
