Unconsciousness in yourself!?

Consciousness is so-called an ongoing process of acquiring yourself;
A newborn baby is incapable of being either conscious or unconscious.
Amazingly enough, he or she will soon be aware of their own flaring existence.

Growing up, hearing the voices of the adults around,
Boys and girls will gradually notice the other existence of unconsciousness,
Something weird who never speaks, staying just around themselves.

Some do not notice it even when they grow up,
Some call it the unearthly ghost or superstition.

Meanwhile, every morning we wake up from a night's sleep.
For it is a custom of our society, of our body from birth.

Even some more will be indefinitely convinced to take for granted,
Unconsciousness (e.g., sleep) first, then everyday awaking.

Therefore, little do we think in our daily life that;
The sea of your unconsciousness--you are just unaware of it-- is actually
Connected to the shore of your consciousness of which you are aware right now!

Consciousness has been yourself, which is your clear and sound landscape.
How pitiful it would be, however, if you alienate your rich and prolific depth,
As if it were not you, yourself...

Unconsciousness has been with you since you were born.
It is living inside, beside you, though it is dumb at all.
Unconsciousness is taking care of you in your perception and memory.

So the reason why people feel sometimes narrow and hearless is,
Because they behave like battering their own unconsciousness. ao

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 happines...
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 welfa...

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
