1.2 “Lessons” from Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth

- From intelligent design theory (optimal design) -

 

Pope Francis called on "everyone living on this planet." He preached that ``global warming and environmental pollution are caused by humans,'' and ``Let's change our way of life: belief in high technology, dependence on fossil fuels, and impulsive consumption.'' He strongly criticized the current economic order in countries such as the United States and Japan, which favors profit and leads to environmental destruction, saying, ``People with political and economic power are trying to cover up this problem.''

 

Furthermore, Carl Schmitt and Kazuo Mizuno argue the following from a geopolitical perspective.

The historical era of ``collecting'' is coming to an end. Throughout history, when collecting comes to an impasse, a battle between land and sea ensues. The Japan-Korea Tunnel will serve as a ``bridge'' for peace between these ``land countries'' and ``sea countries.''

 

(1) How to view negative interest rates

``Money is the stuff of the world.'' However, when people become anxious, the flow of money deteriorates. Thaw the frozen movement of money. This is the true meaning of "negative interest rate policy." Although the monetary base has tripled in the past three years, this is not how it works in Japan today. People's anxiety about the future is already too high. This is because people's assets have been severely damaged by years of extremely low interest rates. Start storing money in a safe. I hide it under the cloak of my friend's gold membership card.

 

How can people be bold enough to spend money after being treated like this? Is it possible to take the ``action'' of buying ``stocks'' with the meager savings I have?

They don't pay attention to people's emotions and feelings. In other words, ``humans'' are not visible. Hirofumi Uzawa (1928-2014), like Piketty, was a mathematician, but he created the ``Social Capital Theory'' from econometrics, reconstructed ``environmental destruction, and an economy without humans,'' and proposed a new idea, ``The economy is human.'' He proposed that The economy needs this kind of "collective knowledge," but we are not aware of it.

From a sensibility-technical perspective, that is, intelligent design (optimal design theory) of ``complex adaptive systems,'' it is the same as Kinjiro Ninomiya's ``Economy without morality is the same as crime, and morality without economy is sleep talk.'' be.

 

Such a new way of looking at things is impossible within the scope of conventional economics (From "How to Look at Things I and II (Katsuyuki Kawaguchi), World Peace Research" 2016), and in the end, religion, art, and science It becomes a "collective knowledge" that integrates technical thinking. Therefore, intelligent design (optimal design) of ``complex adaptive systems'' seems to be the most suitable ``way of thinking'' at present. Soaring stock prices and sluggish consumption were also present during the Lehman Shock. Based on the facts, Japan's economy will not grow through monetary easing. The only way forward is to develop the Heartland, the ``last economic frontier.''

 

(2) Insane design of the new National Stadium

``The design of the new National Stadium seems to have been cursed,'' said economist Ryuichiro Matsubara, referring to Takashi Moriyama's ``The Insane Architectural Industry'' and Kobunsha Shinsho. "However, if Zaha Hadid's proposal continues as it is, we will end up in an even more dire situation."

 

The arch keel for sale (375m long, 76m high) is so huge that it is physically impossible to construct it, there is no sub-track for track and field so it cannot be used for the world championships, and the natural grass dies when the roof is closed. It cannot be used as a soccer field or rugby field, and if the roof is left open, music events that attract 80,000 people will become a source of noise.With no route leading to the station, the packed audience will become refugees until late at night. In addition, the new construction cost of 300 billion yen and annual maintenance and repair costs will be passed on to the people in the form of taxes.

 

He is an economist who is capable of comprehensive consideration and evaluation of ``religion, art, and science and technology,'' which means he is capable of intelligent design (optimal design) of ``complex adaptive systems,'' and he sympathizes with this kind of evaluation. I feel that Ryuichiro Matsubara and Masaru Kaneko have a common ``sensibility.''

 

(3) There is no such thing as ``unexpected'' in the essence of design.

The simultaneous occurrence and scale of the earthquake and tsunami may have been excessive and unexpected. However, it is the job of design (this is called intelligent design) to envision what kind of processing to do in such a case (safely stopping it). As mentioned in ``How to see things'' I and II, you can avoid the ``unexpected'' through design.

 

In Zen, there is a saying, ``Formation is essentially unique.'' I have this instructive letter from Kenzan written in a large book in my house, and I remember it well because I sometimes hang it up in my alcove and look at it.

 

This is similar to the spirit of the tea ceremony, but the Great East Japan Earthquake made me experience this for real. Human life was taken away in an instant. It may seem paradoxical, but for me, intelligent design is the arrangement of Kenzan's words, ``It's better to spend time and create things when there are no unnecessary things around.'' I can't help but think that this is the ultimate. Make a decision based on the facts and ``start'' from there . The heart of the Japanese people was love and sadness for things that are fleeting and disappearing, and love and joy for new things that are born in the midst of severing those lingering regrets.

 

Playwright Masakazu Yamazaki looks at the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake from the perspective of Japan's historical perspective and civilization theory.

 

During the Edo period, large quantities of wood called kiba were stored. Edo was managed and designed on the premise that large fires would occur and houses would burn down. We can't prevent a major earthquake, but we can rebuild it if it burns down. This is the embodiment of a positive ``view of impermanence.'' This tradition is still alive today. In other words, a house is recreated using wood, paper, and silicon (earth), and if it breaks down, it can be easily rebuilt without resisting nature. In other words, the design philosophy is "Simple is best." You could call it ``aware design.'' Leonardo da Vinci said, ``Brevity is the height of sophistication.''

 

Many of the ``events'' on Earth cannot be predicted or explained using established logic or morals. Responding appropriately and swiftly to such unexpected In our increasingly complex global world, the only way to survive is to decentralize decision-making authority. This is field-based intelligent design (optimal design), which is adopted by living systems and makes decisions based on facts In other words, the goal is to create a social and economic order based on autonomous decentralized control similar to the information processing in the brain. Examples include fractal theory and the ``methodology'' of Emmanuel Todd and Piketty.

 

In Japan, this is the ``methodology'' of Kinjiro Ninomiya, Hirofumi Uzawa, and Kosuke Motani. Fractal theory is effective for considering complex applied systems, and is described in detail in ``Research on the expression of human inner sensitivity.''

 

(4) So what should we do?

I will discuss this in detail from now on. The ideal idea would be to build a ``decentralized garden city of local production and local consumption'' envisioned by Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira.

 

Is the aforementioned ``insane architecture industry'' a problem with university architecture departments that force students to pursue original designs at the basic stage? Probably not. Originality in all forms is born by adding unexpected interpretations, meanings, or emotional expression to accurate basic techniques. Take a look at Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain". Universities should teach the essence of intelligent design (optimal design theory). Intelligent design is the arrangement and composition of parts with a specific purpose.

 

The United States, which started the trend of economic globalization, is no longer able to withstand globalism. It will be a turning point for the world.
