Be subsumed by larger concepts

The tablet terminal she held out to me was her treasured personal item..... I don’t know how to say it, so let me put it in a relatively general way. Hmmm, without hesitation: she’s chubby She grew up in a wealthy family, so she speaks freely. I think that’s a good quality in its own right, but the way she speaks lacks a certain consideration. In short, she feels nothing when she hurts someone. I think it’s because she can’t objectify herself. What if someone said something bad to me? Anyone in their late twenties ask themselves this question on a daily basis, right? What is Quantitative Grasping of Concepts? Accepting that concepts are destined to be interpreted qualitatively, let us consider the scale of concepts. It is not a matter of quantifying the concept but of placing it in a continuous structure. Needless to say, all concepts are subsumed by larger concepts, and also contain smaller concepts. But I got the feeling she couldn...

Prepare a charged battery

An e-bike without a functioning electric motor is extremely heavy..... In conclusion, electric bicycles are easy to pedal. When I first rode an e-bike a few years ago, it felt strange. Because the bike moved smoothly just by stepping on the pedal lightly. The reason, of course, is that the electric motor assists in propulsion. Therefore, electric bicycles always have a built-in battery. What are the conditions for integrating multiple concepts? One of the conditions for the integration of concepts is that they are similar to each other. Originally, things that are similar to each other can be exchanged for each other, and are sometimes integrated into one as the final form. Since most of the batteries are rechargeable batteries, those who use electric bicycles must always prepare a charged battery. Such a small battery takes only a few hours to charge, but the electric bicycle cannot be used while the battery is being charged. Also, ...

The same sky.… The first time Kenji noticed it, he was eight years old. It happened in a neighborhood park in Yokohama. Two adults were repairing a weather sensor mounted atop a metal ladder nearly five meters high. One of them suddenly shouted down: “Hey! Throw me the camera!” Without hesitation, the other man grabbed a heavy DSLR hanging from his shoulder and tossed it upward. The camera traced a smooth arc through the summer air. The man on the ladder caught it with both hands, pointed it toward the sensor, snapped several photos, and then tossed it back down. Kenji stared in disbelief. To him, cameras were precious objects. His father carefully wrapped his own camera in padded cases and never let anyone touch it. Yet these men had thrown one through the air as casually as a baseball. The incident remained in his memory for years. ⸻ Twenty years later, Kenji was a logistics engineer working for a company developing a...
