The brain absorption companies:Consulting Firms make the world worse

  The brain absorption companies:Consulting Firms make the world worse Background I saw the news that many highly educated persons in Japan try to join in consulting firms. Their purposes may be short term profits and early retirements. I knew their purposes because I had same purpose… Consulting Firms make the world better or worse? Consulting Firms doesn’t make new products nor new fields, they only try to win competitions. They make the world worse. Brain absorption companies Consulting Firms are the brain absorption companies which absorb the thinking of business managers. Consulting Firms try to take charge of CEOs’ thinking. So that Consulting Firms absorb client companies’ brains. Consulting Firms’ arm They admire business professors’ theory. They use it as arm to client companies. However, theory doesn’t allow just one counterexample. Business professors’ theory is not to be called theory, it is to be called as hypothesis or idea (or joke). So that consulti

Can Authoritarian Democracy shift to Normal Democracy by Democracy?

  Can Authoritarian Democracy shift to Normal Democracy by Democracy? Background In Japan, Liberal Democratic Party(Jimin Party:自民党) has been in power for long years. I have one question, how can Authoritarian Democracy shift to Normal Democracy by Democracy? My opinion I think it is impossible. A lot of Japan people has much and deep angry to Jimin Party, but I think that it is impossible. Democracy has several weak points. When population is decreasing, Democracy does not work well. Further, aging society helps not to change the existing power. In fact, Japan cannot change the existing power by Democracy. My feeling I feel that Jimin Party irritates to USA, but Democracy cannot change Jimin Party. To mind up for unchangeable of Japan politics will cost very high for current and future Japan people. But it is the cost with Democracy. Conclusion There is no free lunch. Peace is not free lunch, nor Democracy is not free lunch. Peace and Democracy need high cost. A

Sustainable Infrastructure

Sustainable Infrastructure Sustainable Infrastructure Background I saw this news. China's drivers fret as robotaxis pick up pace - and passengers https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/chinas-drivers-fret-robotaxis-pick-up-pace-passengers-2024-08-08/ When I worked one construction company, I heard that if construction workers lose their job, they will do bad things. One idea I know there are a lot of solutions for this problem. To increase the field of construction workers is my solution. My idea is “Sustainable Infrastructure”. In Japan, it is partially permitted to use recycled aggregate to construct roads. Recycled aggregate includes old asphalt, stones and dusts. To use the recycled aggregate makes less new asphalt. This technology is sustainable infrastructure. Applying sustainable infrastructure to China I don’t know China’s road conditions and whether to use recycled aggregates or not. My idea to apply to China is that roads which are c

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Basics

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Basics Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Basics Background Chapter 11 - Bankruptcy Basics https://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-basics/chapter-11-bankruptcy-basics I searched about US Chapter 11. US Chapter 11’s good points There are some good points of US Chapter 11. (1)Speed up Reorganization If almost bankruptcy company provides essential things or services, the company will raise their prices. Because the company makes up for losses. It causes the social cost higher. (2)Prevent excessive repayments US Chapter 11 can prevent excessive repayments. In Japan, if someone borrow money from a bank, he/she will need a personal guarantee. It causes to discourage entrepreneurs. (3)Visible processes and goals I heard that 99% of new companies will bankrupt. We tend to focus on rest 1%, but 99% is bigger than 1%. With the establishment of bankruptcy laws, the processes and goals will be visible. Conclusion US Chapter 11 is good law.

Simple calculation

Simple calculation Simple calculation Background Bank Of Japan(BOJ) has 7% of Tokyo Prime stock market shares. The shares book value is 34 trillion yen. Tokyo stock market falls today Sum of Tokyo Prime stock was 962 trillion yen at July 31, 2024. Index of Tokyo Prime stock was between 1400-1450 at July 31, 2024. Today’s index was 1150. In fact, 962:1425=x:1150. X is 776. At Aug 5, 2024, sum of Tokyo Prime stock was 776 trillion yen. In fact, BOJ has 54 trillion yen of Tokyo Prime stock. What do I want to say? If index of Tokyo Prime stock falls down under 723, then BOJ bankrupts or becomes insolvent. 1150 * 54 / 34 = 723. If index of Tokyo Prime stock falls more 40% than today, Japan economy ends. Caution This simple calculation may include mistakes which I don’t know.

To claim “Not enough” is the signal for something goes wrong

To claim “Not enough” is the signal for something goes wrong To claim “Not enough” is the signal for something goes wrong Background I sometimes hear the “Not enough” in Japan. Not enough money, not enough Human Resources, not enough time, and so on. Why do they claim “Not enough”? In their views, there are just suitable numbers for satisfying their needs or wants. For above view, they claim “Not enough” to others. My opinion “Not enough” shows something goes wrong. If this signal appears, we should check our minds. Because our minds may tend to blame others or our environment. Furthermore, when someone claims “Not enough”, he/she often blames others or environment to solve his/her problems with less efforts.

Rules and Power

Rules and Power Rules and Power Background I thought about treaty of mutual cooperation and security between the United States and Japan(US-JP Treaty). Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Mutual_Cooperation_and_Security_between_the_United_States_and_Japan I concerned about “in the territories under the administration of Japan” includes Taiwan or not. I don’t think the territories includes Taiwan. But I know Chinese people take Taiwan as China for granted. Rules are protected by Power Almost all rules are protected by power. If someone breaks the rules, he/she will be attacked by power. If one side breaks US-JP treaty, what will happen? If US breaks US-JP treaty, JP will protest to US. If JP breaks US-JP treaty, what will US do? I don’t want to imagine the result, and I don’t know what US will do to Japan. Taiwan’s option (A)If Taiwan people want US army to protect, Taiwan has to be

Recalled someone who has worked for himself, not for company

  Recalled someone who has worked for himself, not for company Background I have worked at one construction company, and I recalled one man who has worked for himself, not for company. I made 2 pictures which show someone’s values. [Picture 1] [Picture 2] Picture 1 shows company’s benefit includes own’s benefit. Picture 2 shows company’s benefit and own’s benefit overlap. I don’t know what the one man is doing now. Priority of value If his priority of value shows A is larger than A and B(A > A & B), he will be taken advantage by outer enemies. Then why I recalled this is to see below news. Trump says he had 'very good call' with Ukraine's Zelenskiy, pledges to end war https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-he-had-very-good-call-with-ukraines-zelenskiy-friday-2024-07-19/ To see the news, I thought Mr.Trump will choose A more than A and B. His wife was born in east-EU, so that he can’t stop to meddle to Ukraine-Russia War. To think about this, hi

Hidden messages from EU’s fear for Russia

  Hidden messages from EU’s fear for Russia Background I saw this news. China says it will never accept 'unfounded accusations' at NATO summit https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-says-it-will-never-accept-unfounded-accusations-nato-summit-2024-07-12/ Thoughts from quotes Desire is opposition feeling from fear. NATO wants China to increase the influence to Russia. What this means is NATO feels fear to Russia being uncontrollable. Think about Russia Russia seems not want to conflict with USA directly and want China to represent anti-USA. Moreover, Russia seems to want to be supporter for anti-USA & EU. Chess Russia has many strong chess players. Comparing this to chess, China is King and Russia is Queen. Queen has high mobility and can move vertical, horizontal and diagonal. Russia likes to move horizontal and alternately, so that first is Ukraine, second is East Asia, third is EU(?). I think Russian people think like this. To ride this thinking, C
