Welcome to the podcast. I haven't gone outside inover 15 years. No commute, no bus. Still somehowfully equipped with problems. Parent offline.Friends out of stock. So this show is just dailylife. From long-term hikikomori mode.
About the last episode. I was talking withoutrecording it. This is what I'm gonna talk aboutnow. The way I record changed a little.
I'm probably very sensitive. Like 1 in 1000. So Ialways try hard to make sure it's recording right.But only at time like this. I don't check it. Icheck it 100 times normally.
But only this time I didn't. So I wanna ask thequestion from last time. The philosophy question.So I always check if it's recording. I really payattention.
But of course, only this time I didn't check. Ididn't check at the one time I should have. Ichecked it 100 times before. And only this time Ididn't.
So continuing from last time. Your question. Aphilosophy question. You asked do you think lifeitself has value? No. Continuing from last time.Your question. A philosophy question.
Do you think life itself has value? No. Do youthink living freely is important? Not reallyrelated. Do you think people should avoidsuffering in life? Easily. Do you think absolutetruth or knowledge exist? No.
Do you think human sense and experience are enoughto understand the world? Not enough. How muchvalue do you think logic has in life? Little.
03:09
Do you think morality can be decided freely byeach person to some degree? Do you think afterlifeor spirit exist? No. How do you feel about yourown death? Nothing. I don't feel anything.
Do you think being involved in society or politicshas meaning? No. Do you think your actions affectthe world? Yes. Do you think beauty or art hasuniversal value? No way.
Next topic. Hikikomori. The word hikikomori isused a lot overseas. A lot of people seeminterested. Probably because society feel rigid,the rules feel strict.
So many people feel isolated. And hikikomori istied to isolation problems. Also, aging society,people not think their real feelings not showingweakness. And loneliness, mental issues, there isa strong trend on loneliness.
Loneliness. It's seen as a social problem. Today,I looked up stuff about the Nogizaka captaingraduating. Before, I used to check every singlepiece of info on some sites because I wantedeverything in my head.
And about Chef Mikuni. He's opening our supervising restaurant in Hokkaido again. Like I saidbefore, he's doing it as an owner. But the pointis he's taking over the taste of ramen shop thatwas popular in the rural area.
He trained in French cuisine for 20 years, right?And the taste is supposed to follow the old shop.I felt kinda bad for him. He trained so long. Andnow he has to keep someone else's flavor.

I also watched the NBA all-star game. Everyone wasclearly taking it easy. I guess that's how it is.But even if it's an all-star game, they should trya bit harder. It's not fun to watch otherwise.
And when I watch video or TV, I end up doubting ifthings are staged. Today, there was a video wherea celebrity just happened to be there and theyinterviewed them. I doubt that's tough.
About the English episode, I was gonna stop makingthem. But I brought them back. So, I had to readout everything from the title, the show name, allthe settings.
Every time I change something, I read all that.
But, hashtag, show name, Japanese version. I wishI could use this level of thoroughness for work.And call my dad. I couldn't see him today. He saidhe'd come home early. But I guess my parent miscommunicated.
Even if it's just a short time, that's just alittle feeling annoy me.
At meal, I think a lot about which dish to startwith. I've regretted it many times before.
So, I tryna save what I like already. But it's notthat simple.
Before, I also thought about health and all thesemoral rules. Yesterday, I kinda struggled withsomething. There was a video of someone gettingarrested that I wanted to watch.
I ended up watching it. Sometimes, I want thatkind of, it can become trauma. So, it scared me.
Around 9th day, I went downstairs and the personon the 4th floor, he was sitting there again. Mymother sitting there again. Same as last time. Iwas thinking about why.

Before 2, whenever I got down, she always pretendto be checking something. I don't know if it's anact. But she always look like she are on hercomputer.
And since she told me to stand. And since I toldher to stand. Normally, she should be standingwhen I come down. But both time, she was sitting.
So, I wondered if she were trying to hidesomething.
Next topic. Physics and philosophy. First was thatarticle. Do you know retro causality? I saw it onYahoo News.
It says something like, to make the law of physicswork, you need a hypothesis where the futureaffects the past.
And I talked before about how maybe time flowsfrom the future to the past. Time is just aconcept anyway. Maybe thinking of it that wayworks better sometimes.
Modern people can't really think like that,though. But I think most things are like that. Inour mind, the past keep changing.
Like, I failed back then. But actually, it wasgood that it happened. That happened a lot. Well,if that didn't happen, something worse wouldn'thappen. Some people say if they hadn't made themright, they would die. Stuff like that.
And in physics too, some people say time flowsfrom the future to now. There are many theories inquantum theory. Time isn't clearly described.There is no fixed answer.
So, retro causality, where the parent affects thepast, can also work. Like I said before, we onlyunderstand the world through our mind.
12:12
So, even if science says God doesn't exist, thepossibility of God existing, sadly, thatpossibility isn't really there. Thinking about theworld with our head doesn't get us anywhere.
Next corner is kimchi. Yesterday, I had tsukune.It's made by chicken. Chicken dango. It's like ameatball. And I had potato salad. It was goodtaste. Thank you for listening for this program,Seike.
