ポッドキャスト「Founders」を運営するデビッド・センラがYouTubeを開始した。元々、創業者らの伝記を熱心に研究する彼だが、ついに憧れのレジェンド本人へ直接挑む番組を始めたのだ。そこまでは良いのだが、自身の見識をぶつけたいあまり、ジェームズ・ダイソン氏に対して(全く畑違いの)ウォーレン・バフェットの話を持ち出すなど、視聴者が冷や汗をかくような展開が続く。彼独自の熱量が空回りする様子は、ある意味で見逃せない魅力となっている。

海外の書店も似た状況だが、日本の書店に「発明」コーナーはない(図書館の方がまだ望みがある)。法律やビジネス書の棚には知財/IPや特許を語る士業の本が溢れているが、リスクを負い、無数の失敗を経て奇跡を生み出す「創造の張本人」は彼らではない。特に個人で発明やイノベーションに挑む人達の声は、驚くほど届かない。ドクター中松やアイデア主婦だけが発明ではないというのに、その真髄は棚の隙間に消えている。

日本の図書館には不思議な魅力がある。欧米の図書館は割と賑やかで「人々の知的な交流の場」的な佇まいのところが多いように思うが、日本ではむしろ日々の交流とは距離を置いた「一人空間」を求めてくる人が多い気がする。蔵書数が多くて、無料の貸出を徹底しているのも特徴だろう。国立国会図書館は好きな図書館の一つで、最近の僕のリリースが輸入盤扱いな中、Dark Model『Saga』(日本盤)が収集されていて驚いた。
