2010年出版の『インビジブル・エッジ』を読み返す。かつてのアメリカは知財オペレーションという「頭脳戦」に傾倒し、結果として現場の製造スキルや品質向上を手放してしまった。 2026年の今、潮目は変わっている。もはや知財の威光だけで勝てる時代ではなく、「その知財で何を作り出せるのか」というモノづくりの実体価値が改めて問われているように思う。足りないのは、手足を動かして価値を生み出しているという「リアリティ(実感)」なのだ。

年季の入ったブルースマンやR&Bミュージシャンのインタビューを聞いていると、”We was” という表現が出てくることがある。これは標準英語とは異なるが、彼らの間では決して間違いではない。こういうのは Vernacular(自然発生的な日常文法) といって、Slang(俗語・流行語) や、地域的な Dialect(方言) とも少し違う。このバンドの名前 Sho-nuffは、「あたりきよ!(Sure enough)」みたいな、レトロで味のあるスラング。

シンガポールの元外交官で、国連大使として安全保障理事会議長も務めたキショール・マフバニ氏は、アジアの躍進は歴史の自然な流れだと長年語ってきた。この講演では、多くの西洋人の聴衆を前に、「世界人口のわずか12%に過ぎないあなた達が、残りの88%(グローバルサウスやアジア)に説教する時代は終わったんです」と指摘する。G7などを通じてその「西洋」の側に足を置き続けてきた日本にとっても、ズシンと響く話だ。
