The real danger is when you can no longer see your own foolishness. 2. 人間は3次元を歩き、AIはモニターの中で動く。だから未来の人間は、モニターの前から動かなくなる。 Humans move through three dimensions. AI moves inside a screen. That’s why in the future, humans won’t move away from their screens. 3. 政治家とラッパーは似ている。だがラッパーには伝えたいことがある。 Politicians and rappers are alike — but only rappers have something to say. 4. 政治家と歌手は似ている。どちらもマイク片手に他人を踊らせる。 Politicians and singers are similar.

Honestly, I wish they'd move into heaven early — although it might turn into hell.” “Space development is booming among dictators and billionaires — maybe it’s our passive way of kicking them off Earth.” “Maybe dictators build rockets because the one attached to their body doesn’t work.” “Poor people work to earn money to spend. Rich people work to take money from the poor. In the end, both are working for money.” “Dictators love gold, maybe because it doesn’t reflect their faces too clearly.” “A dictator is like smoke. He may rise high, but vanishes with time.” “People get angry at weather forecasters, but rarely at the weather itself. Actually — no one does.” — Kouhei Takagi + ChatGPT 4o 

Afterthoughts Volume 1

  “A clock is kind. Unlike a mirror, it doesn’t show you how much you’ve aged.” “It’s better to recognize what’s truly important — because someday, that importance will be tested.” “A dictator laughs twice in his life: once when he seizes power, and once when he is no longer needed.” “A dictator laughs twice in his life: once when he seizes power, and once when he lets it go and gives up.” “A dictator weeps twice — at birth, and at the moment he is no longer needed.” “A headache is a source of suffering. But the headache doesn’t care about you.” “The government loves tobacco: they can tax it freely, and when smokers can’t smoke anymore, they vanish like smoke.” “Truth is like cigarette smoke — impossible to grasp, vanishing before you know it. And only smokers can taste it.” “A lit cigarette is a sad thing — because its fate to be discarded has just begun.” — Kouhei Takagi + ChatGPT 4o
