   攻略法という幻想――なぜ人は「成功の秘密」にお金を払うのか

   Why are people so attracted to secret strategies and guaranteed formulas for success? In this episode, I explore the illusion of “winning methods” in business, investing, social media, and online publishing. Useful techniques certainly exist, but improving your chances is not the same as having a guaranteed path to success. When people feel anxious, frustrated, or desperate for results, simple answers become especially attractive. That is why marketers can sell not only knowledge, but also hope and relief from uncertainty. The deeper question is whether we are buying a method, or buying the…

   生成AIコンテンツのカンブリア爆発 ── なぜネットは奇妙な生命体で埋め尽くされるのか

   The internet is rapidly filling with strange new forms of AI-generated content: virtual influencers, synthetic voices, AI films, artificial musicians, and characters that never existed. In this episode, I compare this explosion to the Cambrian explosion, when life diversified into many unusual forms. Most of today’s AI formats will probably not survive. Some will disappear, while others will adapt to the online environment and remain. As AI content becomes more abundant and polished, human imperfection may become more valuable. In a world of perfect synthetic media, people may begin to…

   なぜ現代では貧乏人が自分を貧乏人だと思わなくて済むのか

   Why is inequality often difficult to recognize in modern society? In this episode, I explore how comfort, entertainment, success stories, and ideas of personal responsibility can make structural differences less visible. Wealthy people are often presented as aspirational figures, while poverty is treated as an individual problem. I also examine inherited advantages in politics and business, where family networks, capital, reputation, and existing organizations can create very different starting points. The point is not to blame rich people or second-generation leaders, but to understand the…

   コストを最小化して幸福を最大化することだけが、人間の生の目的なのか

   Is the purpose of life simply to minimize costs and maximize happiness? In this episode, I reflect on the popularity of “small happiness” lifestyles: cheap meals, quiet weekends, modest homes, and few ambitions. There is nothing wrong with living simply, but reducing desire also reduces the risk of failure, disappointment, and pain. Drawing on Nietzsche’s idea of the “last man,” I ask whether happiness alone is enough. Perhaps some of the most meaningful things in life—art, love, adventure, creation, and self-overcoming—are inefficient, risky, and costly. Maybe the deeper question is what we…

   AIリストラ時代、私たちは挫折を学ばなければならない

   As AI continues to reshape white-collar work, many people may eventually be forced to leave familiar careers and enter completely different fields. In this episode, I reflect on my own difficult experience in door-to-door sales after university and how that early hardship gave me resilience later in life. Losing a job is not only about income; it can also mean losing status, identity, and a carefully planned future. I argue that setbacks can broaden our perspective and teach us that no career is permanent. In the AI era, adaptability, humility, and the ability to learn again may matter more…
