The brain absorption companies:Consulting Firms make the world worse

  The brain absorption companies:Consulting Firms make the world worse Background I saw the news that many highly educated persons in Japan try to join in consulting firms. Their purposes may be short term profits and early retirements. I knew their purposes because I had same purpose… Consulting Firms make the world better or worse? Consulting Firms doesn’t make new products nor new fields, they only try to win competitions. They make the world worse. Brain absorption companies Consulting Firms are the brain absorption companies which absorb the thinking of business managers. Consulting Firms try to take charge of CEOs’ thinking. So that Consulting Firms absorb client companies’ brains. Consulting Firms’ arm They admire business professors’ theory. They use it as arm to client companies. However, theory doesn’t allow just one counterexample. Business professors’ theory is not to be called theory, it is to be called as hypothesis or idea (or joke). So that consulti

0.99^n

  2024/3/30.  0.99^n I thought about 0.99^n. 0.99^n means 0.99 to the number n power. Number n is any positive number. If n is increased to big number, 0.99^n will be small number. Generative AI(ex. ChatGPT) is great tool now, but in the future, it will be worse because of 0.99^n. Generative AI will use what any Generative AI create. Because of it, the accuracy of them will be worse.

Article 9

  2024/3/28.  Article 9 Article 9 of the Japan Constitution has been unchanged for over 70 years from WW2. Article 9 is written about abandonment of army. Regardless of the intentions of the U.S. government at that time, Japan people have keep on protecting Article 9. Liberal Democratic Party in Japan(Jimin party) have keep on staying at the center of Japan politics over 70 years from WW2. In other words, Jimin party have protected Article 9. In view of it, Jimin party won’t change Article 9. There may be national election in near future, but it doesn’t matter whether Jimin party wins or not about changing Article 9. If Jimin party wins, Article 9 won’t be changed. If Jimin party loses, next ruling party can’t change Article 9 because of weakness of political foundation. Weakness of political foundation is due to its voter support base and the presence of some organizations. New ruling party won’t have large support from its voters, so that national referendum for changin

Expansion of difference in Economic scale

  2024/3/26.     Expansion of difference in Economic scale GDP shows economic scale, and the GDP difference shows how strong the country is. GDP per person is productivity of person. In Japan, population decline is proceeding. It will continue until A.D.2100. The expectation of population decline shows the population will be half of current population. In fact, I can’t escape this decline unless I escape from Japan. I feel that the difference of GDP between Japan and other countries will expand. Current Japan society is trying to keep the position, but in near future, it can’t keep. Then it will start throwing out weak people and companies. Negative interest rates cancellation accelerates it. Humm. I hoped that I could stay in Japan. But it will be difficult for me.

Fujitsu

  2024/3/24.  Fujitsu I read this news. Fujitsu commits to Europe, but says UK pullback may yet hit finances https://www.reuters.com/business/fujitsu-commits-europe-says-uk-pullback-may-yet-hit-finances-2024-01-31/ I remembered Fujitsu HR interview 13-14 years ago.(Fujitsu didn’t hire me.) I was said that “Why did you choose Fujitsu based on your education background?” My education background is graduate school in science(Master degree). At that time, I thought Fujitsu like to hire Doctor degree. But after some years, I found that the HR’s saying means. In their minds, high class college students are better than graduate students. Fujitsu HR, why do you think so? Fujitsu HR didn’t have common sense, so that Fujitsu’s saying has lightweight.

Strong light makes deep darkness

  2024/3/23.  Strong light makes deep darkness I saw Shohei Ohtani and his ex-interpreter Ippei Mizuhara news. MLB launches investigation into Ohtani, ex-interpreter following theft allegations https://www.reuters.com/sports/baseball/mlb-launches-investigation-into-ohtani-ex-interpreter-following-theft-2024-03-22/ The reaction for the news reveals interesting difference between USA and Japan. (USA) FBI and MLB try to find what has happened. (Japan) Ex-interpreter Ippei Mizuhara is bad people. Shohei Ohtani is clean people. (My opinion) I don’t know what truth is and I don’t have much interest in Baseball. But I imagine that Shohei Ohtani and Ippei Mizuhara might bet illegal bet together. Because things were about to get out of hand, Ippei Mizuhara was forced to take all the blame.

3 wise monkeys

  2024/3/18.  3 wise monkeys Recently, I feel something sad about Japan society. Japanese become 3 wise monkeys… Three wise monkeys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_wise_monkeys I don’t think they are wise. If evils are in 3 monkeys’ mind, what should they do? Japanese prefer to pretend not to meddle in real and open world. Instead of the tendency, they prefer to meddle in online or closed world.

Nissan and Honda

  2024/3/15.  Nissan and Honda I saw this news. Rivas Nissan and Honda sign MoU on EV partnership https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/honda-nissan-sign-mou-comprehensive-ev-cooperation-nhk-reports-2024-03-15/ This partnership looks alliance of the weak companies. In addition, I felt that Japan gov assisted for the partnership. I have thought to buy Nissan shares, but I stopped because I felt Nissan was not good to invest. Japan gov seems to prefer market oligopoly by 2 companies. For example, airlines for JAL and ANA, telecommunication for NTT and KDDI(Softbank is outsider). In view of the tendency, Japanese car companies will converge to TOYOTA and Nissan&Honda. 

Car industry and Semiconductor in Japan

  2024/3/14.  Car industry and Semiconductor in Japan I saw some news that foreign semiconductor companies will construct factories in Japan. I thought that these factories will be for Japan car industry. Recent Car industry needs a lot of semiconductors. It needs not faster semiconductors but many, so that Japan gov assisted to foreign semiconductor companies for Japan car industry. In addition, I hope foreign car industry will win to Japan car industry. The Japan gov’s assist seems to be not fair for the world.

Shame and Sin

2024/3/12.  Shame and Sin Awareness of shame is an awareness of one's surrounding environment.  People who are not conscious of shame are not conscious of the gaze of those around them. Consciousness of guilt is a consciousness of absolute power.  People who have no sense of guilt are not conscious of the gaze of the sky above them. The consciousness of shame arises from a horizontal perspective, and the consciousness of guilt arises from a vertical perspective. When you lose your sense of shame, it happens when you don't have to be conscious of how others look at you. When you lose your sense of guilt, it happens when you don't have to be conscious of looking up and down. A sense of shame develops in societies with weak hierarchical tendencies and societies that are close to equality. A sense of guilt develops in societies where there is a strong tendency towards hierarchical society, or where there is close to inequality. Egalitarian societies tend to be less religious, a

Negative interest rates cancellation

  2024/3/10.     Negative interest rates cancellation   Recently, Bank Of Japan(BOJ) try to cancel negative interest rates. I doubt that it is effective for stagflation. In Japan, stagflation is happening, not simple inflation. I feel that BOJ can’t stop stagflation by negative interest rates cancellation. If Japan power people misunderstand about the difference between stagflation and inflation, Japan economy will be worse.

Who will pull Joker card?

  2024/3/5.   Who will pull Joker card? I watched the news that USA stock markets hit new high, and then Japan stock markets hit new high, too. I imagined who will pull Joker card in old lady. Japanese new investors(?) will be the last buyers in USA and Japan stock markets. They prefer to buy USA and Japan stocks in NISA. NISA:Nippon individual savings account https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_individual_savings_account They will keep to buy USA stocks until USA stocks market crash. The crash will happen around 2 or 3 months before/after Fed rate cut. After crash, some of them will do loss cut USA stocks, then will buy Japan stocks. Japan stocks market will crash at that time.
