2023/7/14. Safety First as the trap I read one book written by Taro Okamoto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarō_Okamoto I was moved by the words “People try to protect theirselves, so that they lose reason to live.” Then, I thought about “Safety First” as the trap. I was taught that mistakes are bad things in school. It is said that Safety First is the best way to live in society, but is it really true? Safety First may be just the trap for being controlled easily by power elites.
Hello, I’m Kohei Takagi (髙木 耕平), a Japanese philosopher and world advisor. I explore global systems, AI-era dynamics, attention, trust, and long-term structures shaping our future. This blog is a place to record my observations and frameworks for understanding the world beyond daily news and short-term reactions. My guiding belief is simple: Tomorrow can be better, but only if we think and act carefully today. Disclaimer: On this blog, “the world” does not include Japan.
