カナやんの「Shut up」から過激な刺激を受けているので今から、新しい「Shut up」シリーズが始まりましたが（汗）「Shut up」とは黙ることじゃなくてカナやんへの妄想やひとりよがりな深読みを一旦やめて、自分だけのくだらない趣味を書くということなんですけど…うっかりするとカナやんを書いちゃう恐れもあるし…日本語で書いたらカナやんのことも自然に思い浮かべるので英語で「Shut up」シリーズの記事を書かせてもらいます。
じゃあ、始まる前に、最近、個人的に一番気に入ったケータイの壁紙をちょっとさせてもらいたいんですが(/ω＼)
サル座りのカナやんです＼(^o^)／
じゃあ、君ってのジャケ写はいったい、リベンジ？見返せる時が来るから？カナやんのお気持ちは？ってインタビューする場合じゃなくて…
だから何？本当ウンザリ…No oh oh oh
Could you please just shut up shut up shut up…
このようにうっかりするとカナやんネタもどんどん流れていく気がしてて…ということで,Shut Up Seriesもそろそろ始まります～～

I must here reiterate to what extent I am inspired by this (How mathematicians think) book. Not only do this book sheds new lights on how can one deal with mathematics, but also the author is always capable of expressing the concepts of “ambiguity” and “contradiction” in a lucid but emotional way! He grasps these ideas so well such that I could not resist but only make consensus on his coherent descriptions.
When talking about “Great Ideas”, the author has made an excellence quote that I would like to share it with you here.
“All true good carries with it conditions which are contradictory and as a consequence impossible. He who keeps his attention really fixed on this impossibility and acts will do what is good. In the same way all truth contains a contradiction.” by Simone Weil
With “true good” in the quote being substituted by “Great Ideas”, what a nice claim! Truth (as well as Great Ideas) is contradiction in nature, isn’t it?
I wonder some of you might think that this statement is smart in an unacceptable way. Indeed, it can be explained easily with the view of equation. For example,
4x + 3y = 48
This equation itself is of no significance, but I’m sure that all of you should be well familiar with such type of simple equation. And most of you are probably tempting to seek the correct solution for this equation once facing it. But this time please hold on! Instead of focusing on the solution, why not have your leisure time to just focus on the equation itself and let the annoying solution go away, huh?
At school, you might be taught by teachers that it is meaningless if an equation has no solution. I used to believe it until I met this book. Equation with solutions does reveal “truth” once one is capable of finding out the legitimate solution(s). But the “Great Truth” rests on how equation itself works! That is, solving the unknowns by only contradiction. When you are trying to look at the equation, you should notice that it is really problematic. How can one know something at the same time he doesn’t know the very same thing! When the left hand side of the equations is stressed, all of us are sure that we do not know well about it, something is missing. However, if this time you look at the right hand side of the equation, you know it very well! You can even pinpoint the EXACT value of it! Because these two sides are linked by the symbol “=”, we all know that they must be the same thing. It is this way in which we seek the solution to the equations, by claiming that I know it by not knowing it and it appears in symbolic form that happens to be called equation!
4x + 3y = 48
Needless to say, for the sake of simplicity, you solve the equation by COMPARING the left hand side unknown with the right hand side known AS IF THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES. By doing so you might arrive at the answer, though in a generic form, the solution for unknown x and y are,
x = (48 – 3y)/4
y = (48 – 4x)/3
As you might have seen, the solution itself is not that beautiful. The true beauty of equation is that, how can you compare when the object to be compared is the very same thing? They must coincide with each other that guarantee you trivial answer. I must be equal to I and you must be equal to you, for example.
As “true good” in Simone Weil‘s wording or “Great Ideas” in the author’s wording both come from ambiguity and contradiction, it is quite a hard work for them to be introduced and accepted by the majority. Here, the author makes another marvelous argument that I could not help quoting his word.
“Thus they (Great Ideas) require great courage on the part of their proponents. These people face the contempt of their peers; they face ostracism; they may even face violence….It is the tenacity to face up to the impossible, to live for long period of time with the tension of the ambiguous. It is, in short, a kind of frustration tolerance, the precise thing that we seek to eliminate by reducing human thought to the algorithmic”
It is the author who really knows the great beauty of ambiguity and contradiction and at the same time the great painfulness in pursuing them!
I am always embarrassing and nervous when thinking about the question: What do I want to achieve right now? My thinking is just chaotic and I can only come up with no answer though I may be capable of expressing it into equation.
????? = Live without money
That is, how can one survive his life free from constraints imposed by money-making? For living without money I don’t simply mean one can live just like what now our daily-life is without paying money. Rather, it is a whole brand new philosophy of living such that everyone can be self-sustained without relying on the bad old money-system society. It sounds impossible, or let’s put it in a more emotional way, it sounds ridiculous, isn’t it?
Finally, and it should be the most beautiful quote by the author, it is a snippet of the song written by poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen:
“There is a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.”
and so there is a crack in my heart such that the light emitted from Miss Kana Nishino（要注意です） gets in（笑）
