Q542 If we humans can't match the logical brain of a robot, what should we do? Anyone who comes up with this breakthrough must be a genius. Because I want to live happily at the tip of human history, and at the tip of the cliff at my feet, I don't know when I will fall headlong into a valley of manjo! That's because I just run with that in mind. How about? Is this parable different?
A543 No, not really. That's exactly right.
Q543 How do we live with robots? The answer is one choice, no dislike or no response. You said that there is no choice but to coexist with robots. Is it okay to say such carefree things?
A544 No way. Something must be done. That's why we're seriously exploring it in this Lotus blog. Putting out the stupid brainless wisdom and thinking about it, how can humanity live as a robot master? I'm in the middle of a panse sauvage (wild contemplation). Kyoto University professor Ikutaro Nishida, who once expressed the Zen satori in the phrase "self-identity of absolute contradiction”, seems to have been so troubled that he sweated in his sleep. And after many nights of sleeping, thinking and thinking about it, he finally arrived at this word through trial and error. Ikutaro Nishida took on the challenge of grasping the mystery of Buddhism with a concept that could be understood in a Western way, and finally depicted in words the truth of exquisite wonders that no one in the East could think of.
I'm also taking on the challenge while being cheeky like this. It's madness, but it's a martyr to the artistic soul of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, whose life is no match for Baudelaire. Baudelaire is a French poet of the end of the century, but our lives are so ephemeral that they cannot match the poetry of Baudelaire's line, and conversely, the life of challenging and creating something has the splendor of the artistic soul that rivals that of Baudelaire in that line! So that's it.
Q544 Wow, it's hard to talk about, but it's kind of exciting. Earlier, I was told that there is only one answer, and that is coexistence with robots, but I feel that it will go beyond such a mundane idea. On the other hand, you may be approached by a robot. Mr. Hanasumi, you have an amazing idea. He is truly a cat-tiger thinker. Transform a cute cat into a ferocious tiger with amazing claws! And so on.
I'd love to hear about that challenge. At this time, please try to expose everything.
A545 I understand. Fusho, in fact, his real name is Toraj. His father, who was born in January of the Year of the Dragon, was named Tatsuichi, and although he was a master carpenter, he was a heavy drinker, and he drank a cup of shochu at 45 degrees Celsius every night. I'm the youngest of the eighth (6th son), but maybe my father was drinking when I was born and didn't have time to think about it, so I named him Toraji because it was February of the Year of the Tiger.
