Rather, it is humans who imitate robots..... For some reason, this store has the heating on, so I think it’s a little too warm. I thought about taking off my jacket, but decided against it. It serves bad coffee and bad hamburgers, and is a restaurant that no one would normally visit, but I do visit here occasionally because we can meet on a bench near the entrance. If a friend of mine came and suggested we eat here, I would say no. No, even she hates this place, so maybe we’ll go somewhere else. Who will be governed? Many people are not fully aware of the reality of the act of government. The reason is that many people are in a position to be governed. Or, to be more precise, those who do not fully recognize the act of governing are governed. If we assume limitedly, it is easy for such poor us to rule someone. It’s just a matter of regulating the behavior of the target person. A white box-like object about the height of a child approaches from the o...

The act was small, deliberate, and ancient: a civic practice for an age where information, not just gold or land, had become capital.… They called it the Typing—the slow, quiet remaking of the world into patterns. When Mina was born, people still talked about class in textbooks and museum exhibits: who owned land, factories, capital. By the time she was old enough to read the news herself, another grammar had taken hold. Wealth no longer lived only in bank vaults and factories; it lived in trails — the clicks and pauses, the half-typed searches, the times people lingered on a recipe or a political thread. That trail, when stitched together across millions of lives, became something with value: information capital. At first the change was called metaphors — “data is the new oil,” “the attention economy” — phrases journalists used to make a strange economy feel familiar. But the engineers and the platforms had a more precise name for ...

We need education, updated legal frameworks, and—most importantly—empathy in relationships, whether face-to-face or online.… In 2028 Osaka, Rina Tanaka worked as a community mediator—someone trained to help neighbors resolve disputes before they escalated. She knew all too well that human relationships are complex: there are blood ties like family, marriage ties, and social ties forged through work, school, and now, the ever-pervasive digital world. Every morning on her walk to the office near Osaka Station, Rina passed posters for events like “Smart Communication Skills in the Age of AI” and “Digital Etiquette for Healthy Online Communities,” because these days, a huge chunk of social relationships weren’t just face-to-face. People were connected through social apps, VR lounges, and AI-mediated communities where norms often lagged behind technology. One Monday, she met with a young man named Hiroshi. He’d been suspended from univer...

That one day another people might arrive and rewrite the story of who they were.… The rain began just after midnight over the port of Osaka. Container cranes stood motionless against the black sky like giant praying mantises. Along the reclaimed coastline, the sodium lights reflected across puddles of diesel oil and seawater. Inside the operations center of the Kansai Maritime Security Bureau, a wall-sized display showed ship traffic moving through the East China Sea in real time. Most of the officers ignored the philosophy lecture streaming silently on one of the side monitors. Except for Ishida. He sat alone at the back of the room drinking canned coffee gone cold. The lecture was from a European sociologist discussing “collective trauma” and the formation of national identity. The subtitles lagged behind the speaker’s voice. “States remember violence,” the professor said. “Even liberal societies inherit unconscious fears ...

No way, is it for letting people stand here one by one? .... Every time I pass by the big building, I notice something strange. The building is a gambling hall. Those who do not know the circumstances may mistake the building for some kind of warehouse. But let’s take a closer look. Can you see a few people walking by? Various gambling equipment is lined up inside the white wall, and there is even a small dining room. What is a structured society? I think it’s only recently that we’ve been able to calmly approve of control and follow as a set. I don’t care about the set’s provenance, I just want to point out a few things about its current state. First, the relationship between dominating and dominated is divided into functional and structural. For ease of explanation, let us simply assume that the relationship between dominating and dominated is society. I would like to say that there is a structural society and a functional society in society. Struc...

The concern among critics is that a system governed by algorithms could prioritize pure optimization over the human context, potentially leading to a society that is highly efficient but lacks compassion, flexibility, and a deep understanding of the Tirana, Albania — A new era in governance has begun in Albania with the appointment of Diella, the world’s first AI government minister. The announcement by Prime Minister Edi Rama, and the AI’s subsequent inaugural address to parliament, has ignited a global conversation about the future of public administration. While the initial focus has been on its role in ensuring corruption-free public tenders, the true implications of this technological leap extend far beyond a single administrative function. Diella’s appointment is the first step in a broader government initiative to digitize and streamline Albania’s entire administrative framework. This includes the overhaul of complex systems f...

And that, more than charisma or strategy, was what made him dangerous—and, perhaps, necessary.… They called him “the man who could not lie,” but no one agreed on what that meant anymore. In 2026, the world had grown suspicious of truth. Not because truth had disappeared—but because it had multiplied. Deepfakes circulated faster than official statements. AI-generated speeches could mimic any leader. Entire populations lived inside algorithmically tailored realities. A report circulating among policy circles warned that shared truth itself—the foundation of governance—was eroding under the pressure of digital systems that rewarded emotion over accuracy . And yet, in the small Baltic nation of Virelia, a former systems engineer named Elian Voss rose to power on a strange premise: He was incapable of lying. Not unwilling. Not principled. Incapable. ⸻ The Defect Voss had once worked in cognitive systems—models designed to sim...
