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

This prose poem was created mainly inspired by Bernard J. Baars (1997).

Why do children cry?

There is a unique thought about why children cry. It posits the effect of the actions you take to stop them from crying. A child is crying. You never walk away. No sooner would it turn challenging when you physically interact with them. Some people will talk to them out of pity. Others pick them up, thinking that stopping them from crying is the priority anyway. Either way, the child will eventually halt crying. What's more interesting is that even if the cause of the crying is unknown, there is always some form of interaction between you (the other one) and the child in the process. In essence, it stands to reason that for humans, the chance to stop crying through interaction with others is far greater than crying alone. Once the assumption that a child crying and the interaction with others are ‘connected’ is established, the child will then cry to seek that ‘connection’ with others, regardless of the cause of the crying. There is no reason, yet the interact...

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...

Learning a foreign speech in the local context

Learning a foreign language (L2) as decoding information (e.g., translation) may be difficult in a local context, such as in schools and communities where no one around speaks the language, but not too difficult to address because we can optimize our first language (L1) to the utmost limit. However, learning L2 speech in the local context in addition to one’s L1 speech is probably the most complicated and collisional challenge if it is compared to the other academic achievements in schools pursuing globalism, such as prulilingualism. This conflict, which learners, teachers, and theorists as well, often confront, has its origin in a unique feature we experience when we learn or teach any L2. In fact, every teaching plan, in the classroom practice, entails language-in-interaction to maneuver. It is thus doubled in this sense for us to learn L2 speech by speech; that is, because we are orally situated in our community, we need to use a spoken language, and it is so eve...
