On Our Two Sexes

   Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) lived his life in 19th-century Germany. Although his thoughts and philosophy is very hard for us who lives in 21th-century Japan, and it is too dense to understand, recently I found an interesting verse delivered by Zarathustra (1885), "The happiness of man is, 'I will.' The happiness of woman is, 'He will'" (p. 1174 in Kinddle). 
  
   This line has apparently been understood as a controversy of men's (or his) insolubility in women, which I do not like to participate here. In addition, the snap judgment of his would be subject to criticism from feminist theory and politicalization in many ways than one. Incidentally, however, there is no denial of interpreting this idea from the point of view of natural science.

   Male sex drives. The strength of man comes from his weakness, want. Further, men simply believe that hiding their weakness must lead to their own happiness. Therefore, men's happiness is not caused by their strength. Without wanting, we are vacant.    

   Contrary, women seem to be weak because of their strategy of seeking fulfillment. The strength on the side of fullness is extensively boundless and vast, as is often metaphorically spoken with sea and ground. Therefore, women's happiness is not attributed to their consciousness; it is influenced by their vast unconsciousness which might operate as what determines whether they can soluble to men or not.

   Living in an age of natural and environmental life, two sexes of man and woman have never cease to cover for each other's weakness as a complementary pair with a principle of sustaining our life. On second thoughts, it reminds us of the analogical combination of "figure and ground" to the gestalt perception, what men and women are to the biological human life history over time.  

   Men say, "I love you." And woman reply, "You love me." Then both are able to live happily.  It is still quite right to say so, I guess.    ao

KARA'S TEAR REVIEWED Kara was an anomalistic artificial intelligence which emitted a desire to survive. Yet, in the real world (2019), nothing is evidenced whether the machines' feeling, as well as animals, is authentic. Having seen this exquisite short film (2012) again, my interest is not in ‘AIs’ that will sooner or later threat us but in the human who will no wonder do an impact exactly when the Wreck Havoc occurs.       Men tend to think AIs with IC tips are a threat (like humanoids) because they will become wiser than us in the near future. Contrary, the more realistic tipping point might be in our brain (e.g.,    right temporoparietal junction, rTPJ): the human social skill, shortly, our fallacious compassion for AIs. How many people will soon become more compassionate being against the increasing ‘AIs,’ as of that in the censor in this short film?    The truth is, Japan has already witnessed many such cases in elderly welfare and family funerary with a full-f

CHANGE!

   Kurt Lewin is a founder of dynamic collective power (group dynamics) operating on individual's subtly wavering behavior, mind, and life-space. His equation of behavior, B = f (P, E), which was a hypothesis created by his thorough investigations, tells us that B (behavior) is nothing more or less than a function of the P (person) in their E (environment). This is a beginning of social psychology. A sincere reflection on empirical study was made by this evocative psychologist; “There is no theory without practice and no practice without theory.” However, the entire process of practicing and theory making might have never been fulfilled without his belief about people, i.e., they can CHANGE.  ao
