To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. most MOWs(t) Shocking. アより長め Building it. Connected words. Building-git

Every day, parents and teachers ask me, "How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? Parents. 二重母音が弱い PAIRints Build. Lが弱い What do I. Whadu-why Kids. Zが弱い

Michael: Well, we're, we're conditioned to do, to do the opposite with object permanent... Mami: Right, right. Michael: Object permanence. And we assume that things are still there... Mami: Right. Michael: No matter what, unless we get contradictory information... Mami: Right. Michael: Which is just a different kind of foolishness. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Like you meet someone that you haven't seen for a while. They'd look older, and you're like shocked for a second, like, "Whoa," it's like, "Oh, yeah, that makes sense." And you think that you haven't changed that much. Mami: No, I mean, like, so it is a bit of a stretch to say that the objective reality does not exist, right? Michael: We don't know. Mami: Like, it might not, can't. Michael: We can't, we can't detect it. Mami: Right. Michael: Because this experiment could Love werkzadout differently. have worked out differently. Mami: Right. Michael: It didn't, in my reality, as | observed a specific... but everything is just as, everything's just internally consistent in your mind. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Everything kind of just makes about enough sense as it needs to, to keep running, and you, and for you to not go completely bananas. Mami: Yeah. Right. Michael: Which is why reading this paper made me almost go completely bananas. Like trying to understand, you know, what it means. Mami: Yeah, if you think much about it. Yeah, it's really strange, but... Michael: It's very strange. Mami: But it's fun, too. I mean... Michael: And it's MIT. So it's harder to just be like, I don't know. It's probably nonsense, right? Mami: What? Michael: What? Like MIT is, has a good reputation... Michael: So it's hard to like disregard the study. Mami: Yeah. Michael: And one interesting aspect of this is language. And I think most of the modification of our internal realities within our minds happens because of language. And I think that, that model of reality is largely constructed of language. And when people are communicating, they're saying like, "Hey, the world's not quite what you think it is; the world's a little bit different way you think it is. Here's how | think it's different. Consider changing your mind, right? And consider taking, you know, doing this activity instead of this other thing." And, and we're constantly in this, in this battle of, "I think something in my internally consistent reality, and I'm trying to transfer that to your internally consistent reality." And then our reality, realities will start to match up, pretty soon you, something goes mainstream, or we have a trend going or something. But.. Mami: Yeah, like fisting. Michael: Like fisting in a, what did you say it was? uhh.. not Poland? I don't want to disparage the wrong country. But, um, one of, I think one of the most, if you really take this study to heart and really digested, it gets intense. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Because you start to realize that the world, effectively, because it's made of observers, doesn't really care that much about objective reality. What it cares about is changing your mind. Things change because ideas are persuasive. So some, the explanation for reality that someone else has in their head, it seems like it's better than the one you have already, it's like, "Oh, that's a really good idea." Mami: Yeah. Michael: And then your reality changes a little bit. And then if you take this concept and you imagine a flat Earther... Mami: Yeah, or even, I mean, like... Michael: This is how people are controlled in this world. This way. Mami: Yeah, I mean, politics and and like how women can vote or anything, right? Like it's just idea. Like now it's normal. Or drinking alcohol is legal now but it was drinking alcohol is legal now, but it was illegal before. Michael: And this is connected to the placebo effect. And one of the most interesting things, if this is a phenomenon related to this, placebo effect is that, it's, the negative version of this can exist. So you can believe something negative about reality, whether or not it's true. And you will be depressed for real. Mami: Yeah, yeah. Michael: For real. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Just because you believe something that's depressing that is, that isn't true, but in your head, that's totally real, 100% real. Mami: Yeah. Michael: If you believe the Earth is flat, like believe, believe... Mami: Yeah. Michael: Then, you know, there's only so far out that you will go on a boat because you're afraid that your boat will topple off the edge of the planet, and you'll just fall off the Earth into the abyss, right? Mami: Yeah. Michael: And I think we have a lot of mental barriers. We let people tell us what we can and can't do, and that soaks into your reality. Mami: Yeah. Michael: So if someone tells you like there's a cliff right there, let's say there's no cliff, but you believe them so you never go over there. Like that's a wasted | opportunity. And that, those are the kinds of games that we have to contend with all the time, I think. Mami: Yeah, like I think especially since | got depression, like, まあ認知の歪みって いうじゃん?だからその、認知が歪んでるんだけど、それにまあ気づいてないと、その渦に巻き込まれちゃうと言うか。それを認識してれば、「ああ今認知歪んでるな」みたいなわかればいいんだけど、メタ認知みたいな。 Michael: The meta part is important because the meta part is what keeps it from becoming, from manifesting fully. Mami: だからこういう、この・・・ Michael: It prevents you from completely believing your own, you know, negative vortex of thought. Mami: Yeah. だからこの話、この実験の話なんてまさにもう超メタじゃん。 Michael: Yeah, it's extremely... Mami: メタ認知の究極の地みたいな。 Michael: Yeah, that's just very, very meta. Mami: これを、ね。 Michael: But it's, as far as I can tell, it makes, it makes sense. Mami: Yeah. Michael: And if you behave as if this is true, I don't think it will get you into very much trouble. Mami: Yeah, I agree. 本当に、これを常に頭の片隅に置いて生きていたら悪いことはないと思う。損はしないと思う。ただ それを人間がずっとやるのはなかなか至難の技だと思うけど。 Michael: And it's, I think it's, it's helpful to assume that there is some objective reality, still. Just that it's not necessarily knowable, you know, you're not god. You get this tiny sample of just super biased stuff that you make your whole world out of, and, this is part of why like, learning English is so important, you know, so you can kind of see the relative nature of this, and you can't, if you only have information from one place, you're far more susceptible to this, this language game of people trying to reprogram your reality for their benefit. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Which is like scary. Mami: For sure. Michael: You know, you look around you and you see people are convinced of the craziest things, like, "I can't believe you believe that. How can you think that we didn't land on the Moon, or how can you think, you know, that there's lizard people underground or slugs are latching on to politicians' brains and remote controlling them from Zubenelgenubi or whatever. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Like people believe all kinds of crazy stuff. And the dangerous illusion is to start to think that you're somehow immune to this or that even the mainstream is somehow immune to this. Mami: Yeah. Michael: Because if you look at history, everyone's been wrong about something like in a major way, where nobody noticed, like nobody in Germany noticed, "Hey guys, this is getting kind of crazy." You know, like that kind of thing is, is really scary.

354-Topic 4: 客観的現実(1) 46:31~

Michael: Researchers at MIT have conducted a quantum experiment which suggests that objective reality does not exist. The researchers were able to experimentally realize the "Wigner and Wigner's friend" thought experiment proposed by Eugene Wigner in 1961, which goes as follows; Wigner's friend measures the polarization of a photon and stores the result. Wigner then asks his friend what the result was. In Wigner's reality, until he hears the answer, his friend, his friend and his measurement of the photon, are in a superposition of him having measured a vertical polarization or horizontal polarization. In other words, both realities (his friend measuring a vertical and horizontal polarization) remain in a superposition for Wigner himself. This means that Wigner and his friend cannot agree as to when the wave function actually collapsed. The experiment conducted at MIT recreated this scenario using pairs of entangled photons and two pairs of friends. Direct measurements of entangled photons' spins were taken and follow up interference experiments done to determine whether the measurement itself was in a superposition. According to the researchers, the result supports interpretations of quantum theory set in an observer-dependent framework and demands revisions of those which are not. Mami: MITの研究チームが、客観的な現実が存在しないということを示す量子実験 結果を発表しました。研究では、1961年に提唱された有名な思考実験「ウィグナー の友人」を実際の実験として行いました。「ウィグナーの友人」は「シュレディンガー の猫」を発展させたもので、ウィグナーが友人に光子の状態を確認させ、光子の 偏光が垂直方向だったか平行方向だったか、その結果を友人から聞いた場合、ウィ グナーが結果を聞く瞬間までは偏光の状態は重なり合っている、というものです。つまり、ウィグナーと友人にとっては、光子の状態が決定した瞬間がそれぞれ異光子の状態が決定した瞬間がそれぞれ異なるということです。 実験では、一対の量子もつれ光子と、1日のペアを用意し、光子のスピンの状態を直接計測し、のちに計測が重なり合った状態になっていたかどうか確認しました。その結果、計測結果は観測に依存していることがわかりました。 Mami: え、これ実際にどうなったってこと?実験で。 Michael: In the actual experiment, they had six photons, three pairs of entangled particles, and they had four people, two pairs of friends, and they arranged lasers and sensors to detect directly, detect the spin. And then they had an experiment to detect an interference pattern, which would happen if the wave function had not collapsed. In other words, if, if there is a wave, then the light won't behave like a photon, and it'll, the light will interact with itself and create this interference pattern. You should understand the double slit experiment, and I think that will explain this one. So in the double slit experiment, they use a photon gun to shoot light through a slit. And if you observe it, then you see where the photon goes. And it just goes through the slit. But if you don't observe the photon directly, then you end up with this interference pattern where the light behaves like a wave and bounces off the sides of the slit and... Mami: So, so what happened again with these pairs of friends? Michael: Well, with these friends, basically, one guy is in the laboratory. He measures the photon. Let's say the polarization is vertical. Now the other guy doesn't know the polarization. Michael: So from his, from a quantum, quantum context, until he receives the answer from his friend, even though he knows his friend conducted the experiment... Michael: His friend, both in a superposition, conducted the experiment and got a vertical polarization, and conducted the experiment and got a horizontal polarization. Michael: And those realities simultaneously exist until you... Mami: He gets the result? Michael: Until he gets the information. Michael: In other words, when that wave function collapses is different temporally, in terms of when it happened... Michael: Because of when he received the information. Michael: And he can't say that the wave function has collapsed when the other guy takes the measurement. Mami: Because he doesn't know? Michael: Because he doesn't have the information... Michael: And so, the superposition, which includes the scientist... Michael: The guy doing the measurement. Michael: If you, if you don't include the guy doing the measurement, it doesn't work. Michael: But so, it's just kind of, it's just this weird thought experiment that kind of reveals a contradiction in quantum physics unless you say that reality itself is just relativistic in this way. Michael: What, philosophically, it gets into the defining what counts as a measurement. Michael: And who the observer is. Michael: And what observing means. Mami: So the guy who's waiting obviously doesn't know the results, right? Until he hears it? Michael: Yeah, but he knows that experiment is being done. Mami: Right. Okay. So it's not like the experiment showed something that shows that, that the results actually don't exist until this guy gets the information or anything like that, right? I mean, that's just... Michael: It's saying that, no, it's literally saying that, the state of that photon is in a superposition. Michael: Until he gets the information. It doesn't count... Michael: ...if the other guy gets the information. And that is a property of reality itself. That's what this experiment suggests. Michael: That a property of reality itself is that it doesn't count until you get the information... Michael: Which sounds like... Mami: That kind of reminds me of this feeling that I get about saying goodbye to someone who's moving away or something. Like,引っ越します。日本から出て行っちゃって、まあどっか遠くの国に引っ越します。多分私はこの人とまあもうあと5年以上会わないと思う。もしかしたら二度とthis person is alive, but it's like this person is dead at the same time because I wouldn't talk to her, him or her. I wouldn't know if she's actually alive or not until I see her again. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Michael: But do you kind of... Mami: And it's like the same thing to me. Michael: You feel like you know that you won't see them again. And if you just went the rest of your life and died without seeing them again, that would have just been a fact that whole time. Mami: Yeah. And it's like her... Michael: This is kind of the... Mami: Her being dead or alive and superposition, it's like the same thing to me. Mami: Yeah, I don't, I don't really know how to put it in words, but… Michael: Right. Because the idea is that each human mind is operating its own internally consistent reality. Mami: Right. Michael: And it doesn't modify unless an inconsistency emerges. Michael: And an inconsistency in that reality doesn't emerge until you receive the information yourself. You have to receive the information. Otherwise, your reality doesn't change. So I think this experiment is very valuable in terms of perception and understanding how your own real-, subjective reality is constructed. I don't know how much of a statement we get about any sort of, it doesn't make a statement about objective reality. I don't know. It doesn't, it doesn't say that there isn't an objective reality. In other words, if those guys went and measured the same photon, they would get the same answer for sure. Mami: Yeah. Yeah. Michael: But that, that's, that fact doesn't care about the way our minds work in the way reality... Mami: 例えばシュレディンガーの猫だとするじゃん? で,それが私の猫だとするじゃん? 使ってるのが。ファービーちゃんだとするじゃん? でファービーちゃん箱の中で死んで、死んでましたって言われたら、 私は、ファービーちゃん死んだんだと思っ てずっと悲しくて泣いて過ごすわけじゃん。 でも・・・ Michael: Would you believe it? Mami: まあそれ信じたとしてね。 Michael: Because I think denial is part of this process of changing reality for a lot of us. Mami: Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I will go through all the steps, right? Michael: Yeah. Mami: Of mourning, right? And I'm like sad. でも、実は生きてたとするじゃん? でその最初に観測した人はファービーちゃんが生きてるって知ってる知ってるけど、それを私に言ってないとするじゃ? But I'm believing that he's dead, so that's my reality, right? Tobjective reality? So, it's... Michael: But that's not true until you see that your cat's still alive. Mami: Right Michael: And it doesn't... Mami: So like... Michael: Because if you create an observer, which is what this experiment does, observers inherently have this problem... Mami: Yeah. Michael: Of just, you just don't see what you, what you don't see. And therefore things aren't real until it literally becomes part of your reality. You know, the, it's like, object permanence is something we grow out of as a child. As a child, if, if you cover your eyes, the world disappears. Mami: Right Michael: And then someone can hide behind, you know, small things and magic is very easy to do to a child. But there's some truth to thinking that way. And we, we get so stuck in... Mami: Because that's what counts. That's what it says? Like...

367-Topic 5:仮想通貨リブラ 2 01:32:30~

Mami: Yeah. なんかさ、I have this

forever, like...

Michael: You can't really get...

Mami: Not admiration, but like, 憧れ for

物々交換。

Michael: What's that?

Mami: Like, you trade goods with goods.

Michael: Like, bartering?

Mami: Yeah. That's fun, no?

Michael: If, if you're on the, if you get a good deal, not if you're getting ripped off. Mami: Like, if you lived in a smaller community, we could do that. Like, living in the central part of Tokyo, like, I couldn't do it.

Michael: But people, but you think when we use money instead of have bartering, then it changes like, like, why is that, why does that sully the transaction or our society overall?

Mami: It's like, なんかさ、その、使わなく なったものとかをさ・・・

Michael: Can we use rice? お米?

Mami: Yeah, sure. Why not?

Michael: But didn't that cause a lot of problems anyways?

Mami: Why?

Michael: You had to, because they built all these, you know, rice storage forts all over Japan, and you know, protect your rice from your starving neighbors. "We'll

shoot them through these little square holes with our arrows if they try to take our rice."

Mami: I'm not suggesting that we should abolish money, just start exchanging goods. But we can maybe incorporate it more with social media and stuff. I know that there are some services like that, but it's not really common here.

Michael: Like, bartering? But why would you barter, though? It's such a, it's so, it's so inefficient.

Mami: Facebook Marketplaceって別に

物々交換ではないんだっけ?あれはお金

払うんだっけ?

Michael: But it's like, "Okay, I'll give you like three tomatoes and an avocado and like a couch if you let me have your TV." Mami: Yeah, that's like, cute.

Michael: It's like, you're never going to...

Mami: That's fun.

Michael: You're never going to come to an agreement.

Mami: That's fun, you know.

Michael: There's just no liquidity, right? Like, it's so hard to get rid of...

Mami: I guess. Like...

Michael: You can't sell your couch.

Mami: I'm kind of talking about this because I have some toys like, newborn toys that I could give away. And I was googling how to do it here, and it's like, it's not that easy. But I, I believe there are people who would just take it if it's free, you know.

Michael: Can you take it to like リサイクル

ショップ, and then use that money to buy

new toys?

Mami: Yeah, but I kind of wanted to like, give it to someone who can't afford it or something, you know. But it's somehow not easy.

Michael: The people that shoo at リサイク ルショップ, they're poor enough.

Mami: I guess in the States, なんだっけ?

何て言うんだっけ、それ。

Michael: Well, like, Salvation Army or something?

Mami: Yeah, yeah, yeah. そうそうそう。 なんか、they have like huge centers じゃ ん?That you can physically go to. Michael: Yeah.

Mami: なんかそういうのがあんまない

じゃん?

Michael: No, there is. Like, one third of Harajuku is like 古着 and like used shit.

Mami: Yeah, but like, they don't take newborn toys.

Michael: But there are a lot of like recycle shops all over Japan that takes stuff, no? Mami: I guess.

Michael: It seems like there are. I see them all the time. I...

Mami: Right.

Michael: I think they're super interesting. I bought a golf umbrella at a recycle shop. Mami: Golf umbrella?

Michael: Yeah.

Michael: Like, one of those umbrellas that people use when they're golfing in the rain, I guess? I've never golfed in the rain. So I'm not...

Mami: Why, why did you get a golf umbrella when you don't play golf? What's the difference between... Michael: It is super cheap. And it was huge. And it was really fancy.

Mami: Fancy?

Michael: It was fancy.

Mami: Like how?

Michael: I don't know. It has like...

Mami: It's not transparent?

Michael: It's not, yeah. You know, like, ビ ニール傘 is the least fancy thing ever made. It has the least 高級感 of any

product, ever.

Mami: But it's actually pretty convenient, right? That you can see through. Like, 人ぶつかんないし、なんか明かりがさ、 採れるじゃん?Like, it's not dark. 意外と

いいと思うんだけど。あれ海外で売れば いいのにっていつも思ってる、ビニール 傘。

Michael: They don't sell those overseas? They're from overseas, no?

Mami: いや、いや、日本でしか見たこと

ないよ。

Michael: Do you think, you think they make them here? No way.

Mami: Well, they probably make it in China or maybe somewhere cheaper, but...

Michael: What do you think the umbrellas look like in China? They're not 透明?

Mami: ああ、わかんない。でも欧米では 見ないから。

Michael: Nobody even has umbrellas in the States. They don't, they don't sell them.

Mami: まあでもイギリスとかさ、やっぱ

さすがに傘さしてるからそこで売ればい

いのに。

Michael: Everyone there's black coffee and those big black umbrellas, no? Mami: And it looks dark. で人にぶつかっ

ちゃうし。

Michael: So you prefer the clear ビニール 傘? And you don't...

Mami: I don't use it, but...

Michael: What? Which one do you use? You use some, some キャラクター・・・

Mami: I use, it's like red, pinkish, red umbrella.

Michael: But you feel like the clear ones are more programmatic?

Mami: Yeah, that's pretty practical, yeah? If you actually think about it, I feel like... Michael: I guess so.

Mami: People here think of it as like, なん

か、not a cop-out, but 何?何も考えない

で買うやつみたいな。

Michael: Yeah, because, you know, it's like ビニール傘 and コンビニ弁当 and,

you know, it's just kind of like...

Mami: Yeah, but it's actually all pretty good. 次。

Michael: I guess.

360-Topic 5: こんまりロボ 1:31:25~

360-Topic 5: こんまりロボ 1:31:25~ Michael: A Japanese startup called Preferred Networks has used deep learning to develop autonomous robots capable of organizing a messy room. The Al uses object recognition to label each item as well as figure out how to pick it up and put it where it belongs. The company has released a time-lapse video of two robots cooperating to perform various tasks like placing dirty socks in the hamper, slippers by the genkan, wet wipes on the shelf and a pen into a pen holder. The robot also tracks the location of all items in the room and can tell its user if asked, where any object is located. Lastly, the robot can be told to change the location of an object or throw something away if it is no longer needed. Mami: 日本のスタートアップ企業がディープラーニングを利用して散らかった部屋を片付ける自動ロボットを開発しました。この人工知能は、物体認識を活用して Michael: Yeah. It'll throw something away if it no longer brings you happiness. Mami: Spark joy. Michael: Yeah. Mami: Spark joyしないものは捨てられ ちゃう。でもこのなくしたものを探してくれるっていうか教えてくれるのは便利そうじゃない?すぐものなくす人とか。 Michael: If it was wrong, would you get mad at it? Because you went and looked for, and it wasn't there. It's like, "What the..." Mami: Yeah. I'd be mad. あの・・・ Michael: This robot doesn't spark joy. Mami: Yeah. You need to throw it away. But, こういうの欲しい。っていうかこれが欲しい。片付けロボット今すぐ欲しい。 Michael: How much would you pay for one? Mami: I don't know. Michael: 100万, would you? Mami: It also depends on where you live, right? Like, if you live in Hong Kong and you have a decent salary, then you probably don't need this. Michael: Because you just have a... Mami: Like maid or... Michael: Servant? Servant? Is servant right word? Mami: Maid? No. Michael: It sounds like a put down. Mami: Yeah. They call it maid, right? Usually. Michael: Maid. Yeah. Mami: And it's really cheap. Really, really cheap. Incomparable to here. Michael: You mean in Hong Kong? Mami: Yes. Michael: That's the case in a lot of these or a lot of Asia, everywhere except for here. Mami: I know. Michael: Not everywhere but most places except for here. Mami: It's cra-, だから香港とかは、共働きね、まあ日本も共働き多いわけだけど、今は。香港もみんな共働きだけどメ イドとかナニーとかを気軽に雇えるから 別にこう、今日本みたいにお母さんだけ がもう死にそうになりながら仕事もやって家事もやって子育てもやってしなくて もいいんだよね。日本はちょっと高いか ら、そんなに気軽にこう頼める感じではない。 Michael: Have you watched KonMari, like her show? Mami: No. No, you have? Michael: No? I have. Michael: Yeah. Mami: あの、1回、Wasn't she on Colbert show or something, like some late night show. And... Michael: I don't really watch late night shows. Mami: 私もなんかそれを見たわけじゃな くて多分YouTubeでなんかフィードで上 がってて、5秒ぐらい見たのね。時間なかったから。でも5秒再生した時のあの surrealな感じ、なんか、あの、late night showで日本語喋ってるゲストがい るっていうのがなんか初めてのことで、なんか自分でもびっくりする��らい衝撃だった。 Michael: It really works for her because it's like she's, she's from Japan. She's like, you know, she's like an alien, right? Mami: そう。そうそう、そうなの。 Michael: So if she was speaking English, she, it was, it's almost like she doesn't, it was like fluent English, it's like, how, "You don't know some magic secret sauce Mami:しかもなんか、彼女の元々の感じ、やっぱりこう、日本語喋ってても・・・ Michael: Her 姿勢 and her 髪型? Mami: 姿勢とか見た目とか声の高さとか・・・ Michael: Kokeshi ? She's like Kokeshi, right? Mami: ね、まあね、そうね。とかこう、 声の高さとか年齢不詳な感じとか、アジア人特有の。なんかこう、全てがやっぱ りこう、確かにね、不思議な感じを醸し出し、まあ日本だと多分別に普通の人だけど、アメリカに行った途端にやっぱりなんか謎の人物感がすごい出るから、それがよかったんだろうな、って思うよね、本当。 Michael: I really, I liked her philosophy. It makes a lot of sense. I don't, I couldn't really disagree with much of what she says. And a lot of it is not as obvious or as intuitive as you would think. So I, my, my girlfriend got me to watch it, and I was kind of skeptical, but I, it makes sense. It makes a lot of sense. Mami: So are you throwing away a bunch of stuff that doesn't spark joy? Michael: All of my stuff sparks joy. Mami: Good for you. Michael: No, I, I don't have a lot of stuff, to begin with. And I don't think my, my habits are that, are that bad or misaligned with what she's saying, but there is a mentality, a way of appreciating the things that you do have, and diligence with organizing those things allows you to access them more readily, which, which increases their value. So if they are important, then they should be organized and just, it's just kind of this explicit lesson on why this is important. And I really think that keeping your room clean, keeping your place clean is necessary for you to have clear thoughts and organize your life. And it's a, it's a very strong red flag. If you go to someone's place and they just cannot clean the place, they cannot organize their things. Michael: And then, usually, their life is not very well organized either. Mami: Yeah. And it really affects your mental health. Like. Michael: Because you're sitting in your own disorganization. Mami: Mess? Yeah. Michael: You know, and, and people, I mean, that's your most immediate responsibility, right? So if you're not doing, if you're, if you're not doing that, then you tend to not be in a good position to criticize other people or worry about other things. Mami: Fos. I guess it depends. Like, yeah, but it does affect you mentally. Like, it has been for me because ever since the baby came, like, it's so hard, it's so hard to... Michael: You just sound like one of the people? Mami: Not make the mess, and every day, I'm like, trying to keep this place in, intact. Michael: It's amazing, like she's just shows up, I mean, I don't know how much of it is legitimate. Mami: I want her to come every day and throw away all the shit. Michael: No, she would just need to come once, that's the whole point, is that she... Mami: No, I need her to come everyday. Michael: Well, she's not a maid, right? She's like... Mami: Of course. Michael: To make you do everything. Mami: I know, but I need someone else to do it for me. I'll pay. Michael: No, because that's the, that's the wrong mentality about things. Mami: But um, でも特にこう、あの、アメリカだとスペースがすごいあるじゃん、 みんな家に。だからPantryとかもみんなあって、めっちゃもうゾンビアポカリプス来ても大丈夫ぐらいいっぱい缶とか、生の食べ物持っててでさらにガレージ Michael: But part of, part of what she, took from what she was saying is just the value in doing the cleaning yourself. And so, this, even if you could pay someone else to do it, you're degrading your own mind and your own relationship with things that you have, and you won't, you just are lacking the discipline necessary to... Mami: Wow, you're so into this, no? Michael: I'm not that into it, but... Mami: You got sucked into it. Michael: It's like, okay, well, I went to American public school, and then I went to some Japanese public school. And it's very clear to me the difference in the students sense of responsibility when they are made to clean up the classroom and to serve lunch versus in the States where you're six years old, and there's a 30-year-old guy cleaning up your mess. Fuck that, you little brat. You clean that shit up. Otherwise, well, we're everyone's clean, someone's got to clean up your crap for the rest of your life. It's ridiculous. Mami: Well, it's true. I mean, it was so normal for me. I didn't even think about it. You know, back when I was a child and even now, but yeah Michael: I think it's true. I think if they stopped making kids clean Japanese schools, then everyone would be less useful. Michael: Less organized.

360-Topic 3: がっかりチャットボット 51:23~

Michael: In a study by Pennsylvania University, chat bot assistants like Siri were found to be more disappointing the more they tried to appear human-like. In the experiment, 141 subjects were asked to purchase a digital camera as a gift online and enter a live chat with a store employee. On the screen it was indicated whether they were interacting with a human or a machine and either a human avatar was shown speaking, or only speech bubbles were shown. The researchers then evaluated how subjects responded to having their words repeated by the assistant They found that chat bots which try to seem human significantly raised the subject's expectations, causing them to become more disappointed if the conversation did not go well. On the other hand, chat bots which did not try to seem human prompted lower expectations and were considered successful as long as they recorded subjects' answers. Michael: Are they talking like robots a little bit, or...? Mami: Probably. まあscriptがあって、それに沿ってやったんじゃない? Michael: So the, the subjects didn't know that they were all human. Mami: そう。もちろん被験者はそれを気 づかなかったんだけど、まあこういうSiri とかアシスタントっていうのはすごい増え ているし、使ってる人も増えているし、で 開発者側っていうのはやっぱりそういう アシスタントに人間っぽい名前を付けたり、アバターを付けたりして、こう、人間らしさをアピールしてる。ただその結果、それが期待値を上げることに繋がってがっかり度が増してるよ、っていう話。 まあだから私がSiriにいちいちイライラするのもそれもあるかな、って思う。やっぱり人間の声を出してなんかこう、「俺喋 れるぜ」みたいな感じを醸し出してるのにちゃんと分かってくれないから、ムってなる。 Michael: Maybe it sounds too natural... Michael: Given what its capability are. Mami: うん、だから「ワタシハロボット デス」みたいな感じのすごいぎこちない喋り方だったら確かにあんまりちゃんと通じなくてもまあしょうがないか、って思うかもなって Michael: Is that an option? Less disappointing option for Siri? Michael: Like, can you set it to robot-y voice? Mami: そうしたらこっちのストレス も低減されるかな? Michael: It's, it sounds similar to the uncanny valley. Michael: It's like too close to human part of it, but then it's not. Michael: So it's like, "Oh..." Mami: Yeah. がっかり。 Michael: "Get away from me." Mami: Yeah. まあそれはそうかもね。だからせっかく人間らしい感じにしてるのに、それがこう、逆効果をもたらしてる、みたいな。 Michael: I think we're overly impressed by things that act human but don't look human. Like Pixar or something. Right? If there's like a little... Mami: そうだね。だからR2-D2みたいな感じだったらこう、おー!ってなるんじゃない? Michael: でもこの前のピカチュウはちょっと違和感あったじゃん? The talking Pikachu in the live action movie. Oh, did that turn out to be popular? Mami: え?どういうこと? Michael: It sounded like a regular guy. Like, it sounded too human and not enough Pikachu-like. Because it was just Ryan Reynolds like 50-year-old guy. Mami: Right. Is he 50? Michael: Isn't that what we said? Mami: え?そうだっけ?よく覚えてる ね。 Michael: Or aren't we shocked at how old he was? Mami: Oh god. Michael: Maybe he's not 50. He's probably 40 or something. Michael: Basically, 50.　In eight years, this will be true. Michael: So you didn't watch it? Mami: No. Why would I? Michael: It's, it's Pokémon. Mami: So? Michael: I used to love Pokémon way more than like anything. I loved it. Michael: But now, it's like the... Mami: まあ、it's been around forever, like, too long. So... Michael: There's much supply. And there's enough, there's enough Pokémon stuff now. They, even if they stopped... Mami: そうだね。It's too late. Michael: I don't know how I feel. I mean, I like things that are , but I have a weird feeling about it, too. I feel like it's kind of indulgent and unproductive. And I feel old. And I'm like... Mami: So it's negative? Michael: You contrast it to like, the music that's coming out now or something. It's like, "Oh, everything is gone. Shit." No? Don't you feel that a little bit though? When you're like, like even kids toys and stuff. Like, I feel like the stuff that was around when we were kids was so much cooler. Like stuffy... Mami: Like what? Michael: We had like, when I was a kid, we had ice-cream trucks that would drive by. This is when I was living in the States. Mami: Yeah? Michael: And they would have something called Poppers. And there're these little tissue balls that have sawdust and gunpowder inside. And kids were like, I'm like six or something, I'm playing with these. And you, it's just these little twisted things with gunpowder. And you're just throwing them, and they like explode when they hit the ground. Mami: Wow. Michael: And, so kids are like, throwing these things at each other and... Mami: Regulation. Michael: They're literally exploding. I don't know. Mami: Good old '90s. Michael: Everything was cooler. Mami: Dangerous? Michael: It's cooler. Mami: More dangerous? Yeah, I don't know. Michael: Because I see so many kids, not that many, but some kids, like childhoods now, you know, when they're like four or five, six, and like the stuff they're watching, and the stuff, it's so lame. But that's just my personal, like, take. Mami: I don't know. Michael: It's just so unbelievably, it's so lame. It's so crazy lame. Mami: Like what? Michael: Just like all this fluffy... Mami: Peppa the Pig? Michael: Yeah. Mami: Are you calling Peppa the Pig lame? Please don't. Michael: I don't know who Peppa the, Peppa the Pig, I don't know who Peppa the Pig is. Michael: Yeah. That's better. That's better. Mami: Why? Michael: I like that better. Mami: See? That's why you're old. Michael: Yeah. Mami: That's what old people always say, right? Michael: And you use your brain, and you understand electric motors, you understand torque, acceleration. Michael: You understand radiative cooling and traction and all of these, you know, lubricating bearings, friction. And you're, you're making something and you're using your brain. Like, all this, I don't know, or whatever is going on, like, I was, I was talking to my dad, and he's telling me how kids used to build like, model rockets. And you would, you would install a rocket motor and you'd put it on, you know, you'd attach it to this vertical rod. And you, there'd be a mechanism for deploying a parachute and all this. This is, I mean, like rocket science. You know, it's like Mr. Wizard. I don't know if you know who Mr. Wizard is, it's just like this kids, like science show, but it's just moved too much towards entertainment for entertainment sake. It's just too colorful and like, it just, it's not grounded. I mean, this is, I'm not an expert on what kids are watching these days, but there's just this, the sense that I get. Just, I feel like, you know, how older people know how to do more hands-on stuff, like fix things and just, you know, handiwork or repair things. Nobody repairs anything anymore. Michael: You just buy a new one. Mami: Right. Unless you're French or something. Yeah, I... Mami: Actually, my mom's friend who's like a, what is she? A teacher? don't really know. But she, apparently, she said, Michael: Yeah. Don't they they say creativity is born of limitation or something? Mami: あ、そうそう。だから、それは確かにいいな、と思って、もうちょっと大きくなった時になんかそういう風に自分でなんか作ってみて、とかを Michael: Do you think kids are sitting down and playing with like little, I don't know, like you have like a fire truck or you have, what was the, what's the train thing called? I forget how it was called. Michael: No, you have the blue truck... Mami: プラレール? Michael: Yeah, But there was so much imagination when I was a kid, with my friends, like, we, we had, we were playing with something very simple. Michael: But you end up playing, like, all these crazy things are happening, and it's all in the kids' imaginations, and the kids kind of create the shared world. Michael: And sometimes you have a disagreement about, you know, which doll is stronger or something. Michael: But it's just moved so much towards 715 that I'm concerned. I don't know if I should be concerned, but... Mami: But you, you need creativity to play with Minecraft, too, right? Because there's no rules basically, right? I mean, you can do anything. Michael: But it's more self-oriented. There's less of a notion of fair play. There's less of kind of learning the lines of what other people feel like. It's fair and still fun to keep playing. Mami: I feel like is the same thing. I mean, it's not like you're competing against each other. Right? So it's not really different. Michael: You could race them.
