A581 We can see that the major flaw of national policy is the lack of holistic knowledge and the loss of the vision of civilization creation. In short, Japan, a beautiful country, must be rich in the arts. You can't forget the richness of spiritual civilization. Therefore, it is essential to enhance various measures to become an arts-oriented country.
Fourth, if we look at the overwhelming wave of globalism around the world, if we neglect to invest in basic research in science and technology, Japan will fall further behind. At present, we are still ahead of the curve in some fields, but if we are caught up in the pursuit of efficiency and rushing the results of < research, investment in basic research in science and technology will be neglected, and promising researchers will not be nurtured. It is sober basic research that will dominate the world. The results of scientific research do not appear overnight. The country's attitude of patiently watching over the long term will eventually bloom in large flowers later.
Fifth, by expanding amateurism, we must open up a wide range of avenues for human well-being. The second measure is a proposal to involve children in the creation of robots, which can already be said to be part of fun parenting through amateurism. Liberating science and technology from the monopoly of experts is an aspect of creating a new culture that can only be achieved in the era of coexistence with advanced robots.
This means that the time when you can interact with robots and machines and have fun is just around the corner.
Sixth, if we do not make religion more attractive, the spiritual civilization on the part of man will become more and more weak. It is absolutely essential to re-examine the religious civilization of the past. We are finally entering the era of ultra-advanced mechanical civilization, and we are at a very difficult stage where we have no choice but to seek the integration of science and religion. Otherwise< religion will inevitably disappear by being > by generative AI that thinks for itself. In an era when humans are used as machines by the singularity (singularity of civilization), will religion really be viable? We must have a clear vision of the future. This is the most difficult theme of the final stage of humanity. Let's leave the quest behind and just say the conclusion.
In short, religion is not going away. All religions are swallowed up by science, and Buddhism is the only religion that survives because it does not contradict science. This is because Buddhist teachings are atheistic, believing that all existence is made up of relationships and that there is no transcendent entity in this world.
However, Buddhism is not as attractive as Christianity. Since there is no richness of illusion, the flowers of art have not yet bloomed. The key will be how Buddhism can acquire the fantastic charm of Christianity. If Christianity is a blissful tree that blooms the flowers of art, Buddhism is like a withered silent tree that has dropped all its petals and leaves and speaks the silence of the earth. It's the exact opposite of the way we present the reality of existence. Affluence and poverty are opposite. Let's think about that more. (To be continued on the 2nd)
