• Premise

  • Link 1
    • Realizing that worrying about the future is not a productive activity, I want to continue doing it as entertainment under a moratorium.
    • If you want to be productive, instead of worrying, you should either gather information or make decisions.
  • Link 2
    • I have confidence that if given enough free time, I would do interesting things, so I want to think of ways to maximize free time while earning a stable income.
    • Thinking along these lines, companies like Cybozu Lab or Sony CSL seem quite ideal, regardless of qualification.
      • Ideal career involves earning a regular income while not being confined to academia and being able to freely pursue personal projects.
        • Individuals like Mr. Nishio (Cybozu) and Glen (MSR)

      • Understanding that this is expressing a similar idea (blu3mo)

• If following this approach, it’s not necessary to think about “what to do with that free time” for now.

• In paid work, variables like the country of residence (=visa status), income level, professional title/affiliation/social capital, and the degree of freedom or free time are dependent variables.

• Rather than making decisions arbitrarily, it seems more sensible to clarify one’s desires and actively engage with others to find serendipitous opportunities.

• Another line of thought is that even if working alone, things may not scale Creating a Future World Combatively through Simultaneously Running Research, Business, and Other Projects in Life

• Abilities like project execution and decision-making, knowledge and expertise, goals to be achieved, physical stamina, community, altruism are factors to consider.

• Feeling like there’s a lot of information and thoughts brewing, it might be beneficial to try articulating them clearly once.

• Things to do
  • A feedback loop of 1) abstract discussions about the future and 2) exploration through concrete implementation.
    • This has been quite consistent over time.
• Currently, I am running this feedback loop alone.
  • While collaborating or discussing with others borrows some of their brainpower, fundamentally, it’s just me.
• I want to expand this feedback loop beyond my individual capabilities.
  • While expanding, I still want to remain at the core of the feedback loop.
  • Abstract discussions
    • I want to reach ideas beyond my own knowledge and processing capacity.
    • Breadth/interdisciplinarity and depth/expertise.
  • Exploration through concrete implementation

    • Here, I want to deploy to the real world and provide value.

• Ideal scenario
  • Shouting “Adaptable Body,” raising 1.2 billion, and engaging 200 researchers/students in broad discussions, implementation, and exploration.
