“Fortunately, that’s exactly what engineers like to work on.”… When the emergency broadcast flickered across every public screen, people first assumed it was another AI-generated hoax. The message was short. “Global navigation satellite timing irregularities detected. Financial exchanges, logistics networks, and critical infrastructure are entering coordinated safe mode. Remain calm.” Within minutes, container ports slowed. High-frequency trading systems halted themselves rather than risk executing orders with corrupted timestamps. Autonomous cargo trucks pulled safely onto the shoulders of highways because they could no longer verify positioning with sufficient confidence. Modern civilization had become so dependent on precise timing—provided by constellations of navigation satellites—that a discrepancy measured in billionths of a second could ripple through economies. Professor Elena Sato watched the unfolding chaos from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. H...

Because the passers-by who hear the screams and turn around in a hurry are not their friends..... “Hey! I’m here. Come here! Hey!” We sometimes witness people What is the difference between virtual reality and normal reality? reality virtual communication distance forced consuming individuals Information We sometimes witness people screaming incomprehensible, but they are usually men. Females do not shout under normal circumstances. A woman screams only when she is not surprised at all. Anyway, I heard a voice on the main street. The man who made the voice was a normally dressed middle-aged man, but he didn’t seem to look in any direction. Well, he seemed to be talking to the air. He yelled into an empty space and he was appealing that he was there. I only glanced at this special person and didn’t really care. Rather, I kept him away. Because if I were away from him nothing would happen to me. What is the difference between virtual r...

The question, for now, was enough.… Kai woke before dawn because that was the hour when the city still smelled like possibility — diesel and bakery steam, the sort of silence that lets you hear your own decisions. He lived in a compact apartment above a pachinko parlor whose neon never quite went to sleep. For months he’d been drifting: a steady stream of short contracts, freelancing for product teams desperate for a human touch while their AI copilots shaved hours off design cycles. The work paid, and it kept the bills from screaming, but something in Kai’s chest felt like a slack tether. When he wasn’t coding, he read. He read about people who said purpose — the heavy, sometimes embarrassing word — actually changed lives: lowered the risk of illness, delayed cognitive decline, even nudged mortality statistics in healthier directions. The headlines felt startlingly concrete: a recent UC Davis study flagged a meaningful reduction in ...

He listens seriously to what the section chief is saying..... “Good morning. Did you finish yesterday’s report? I’m happy to see everyone’s energetic faces this morning.” Needless to say, there was turmoil among the seven members of the section. This is because they have not yet submitted their daily reports. A few days ago, the deputy chief thought of something to get the section staff to submit their daily reports. The idea was to have everyone bring a daily report to the meeting. He was confident in his ideas. If bringing the daily report is a condition for the section members to participate in the meeting, the deputy chief can receive the daily report for everyone every morning. Why assume the worst case? Our thinking always tends to be idealistic. But we who are wise assume the opposite to reduce the bias. That is, assume the worst case. This might be called psychological crisis management. However, it is limited to psychological asp...
