A cold day
After all this time, I’ve been watching Yusuke Narita’s show on YouTube a lot.
Interesting glasses, odd-sounding voice, logical thinking, crisp talk. Well, he is easy to listen to. When he talks about metaphysical matters, it sometimes sounds like poetry.
He seems to be regarded by the world as a man with an outlandish train of thought, and I am indeed often fascinated when I listen to him. I think he is a smart person.
However, no matter how crazy his opinions may sound at first glance, if they are not shared at all, they will not be accepted by the world. This is probably because he is able to successfully verbalize what everyone is somewhat vaguely thinking or thinking. Maybe the prophets of old were like that.
When I see them on TV and YouTube every day, it seems as if everything is done in a calculated way. It’s not so much a mockery or cunning to become famous or to earn more money, but rather a social experiment using himself. I feel he dares to try that and enjoys it. The real him is probably lying on the lawn at Yale University, dozing off from time to time and looking up at the sky.
Social networking is a tool for self-expression and somewhat of a thought experiment. Will these opinions be accepted or not? How much is acceptable or unacceptable, and how do you draw the social line for your own speech?
Am I really right or crazy to live in this society? In the end, I want to know if it is okay for me to live my life like this.
Perhaps people continue to express themselves in order to confirm this. Beyond the strong desire for approval (self-affirmation), there is a more intense desire for survival.
Anyway, looking at Mr. Narita makes me want to be able to verbalize my inner fuzziness more sharply.
