from Diary 2024-10-30 Projects with and without deadlines

  • Projects with deadlines force a dense experience in a short period of time.
    • It can broaden your perspective.
  • On the other hand, once the deadlines are gone, the “important stuff” emerges from the network of things in the chain of things.
    • I wrote a broad listening case study in kintone and UTAS-UMAP.
  • Both are important
  • Perhaps this is my subjective and natural expression “important things” emerge from the network of interconnections of things, which sounds like a natural phenomenon, but I guess this worldview varies from person to person to begin with. - Ideas are natural resources
  • There is a shared belief situation where I believe that if I keep me free, important things will emerge, and the president believes that he will get better results if he keeps me free.
    • When I see young people trying to figure out how to build a career, it’s really a mystery to me how my situation was constructed.
    • Luck rather than intentionally constructed
    • But it wasn’t all built by a single stroke of luck.
    • Like I kept making choices in a certain direction on the occasion of a lot of random events? - Value of Choice - planned contingency theory
  • The illustrated guide to a Ph.D.
    • When the goal is to push the edges apart, the natural way to proceed is to do it yourself and observe the results.
      • I unknowingly take that way of life for granted.
      • I take it for granted that there are no written explanations.
      • but many people in the world want someone else to do it first and write an explanation
        • I rather take it for granted that the explanation is written somewhere in the book.
        • I haven’t found myself an explanation.”
        • The person who should be writing the commentary isn’t.”
        • There’s an explanation in there somewhere, but they won’t give it to us.”
        • Oh no, I don’t think any of them are the same.
      • I think it would be beneficial if there was an explanation of how Polis and TTTC work in a book like “The Technology Behind Broad Listening”.
        • Considering who should write it, well, I think I’m one of the better options.
        • On the other hand, my time is limited and there are countless good things to do. When I think about it, it’s not very high.
