日本での知名度はほぼゼロだが、CNBCやBloombergからBBCまで、このところEd Zitron(エド・ジトロン)が経済メディアに登場しない日はない。 画面上の彼は「ブリティッシュアクセントでAIバブル崩壊論をまくしたてる好戦的な兄ちゃん」だが、自身のブログでは様々な財務データを用いて、かなり地に足のついた分析を展開している。アメリカ人の中からこういうタイプが現れないのは、実は日本と似て「空気で動く」からかもしれない。

現在『アフリカを学ぶ人のために』という本を読んでいる。編者の松田素二教授によると、日常的に起こる紛争や対立の解決策として、加害者と被害者が「対話的真実」を求め話し合う試みがあるという(南アフリカやルワンダなどの例)。2050年頃には世界人口の4分の1が、今世紀末には3分の1以上がアフリカ人になると推計されている。彼らのコミュニケーション方法に興味を持ち、耳を傾けることは、決して無駄にはならないはずだ。

科学史には、複数の科学者がほぼ同時に同じ発見・発明をなす「複数同時発見(Multiples)」という現象がある。社会学者のR・K・マートンはこれを深掘りし、一人の天才による偉業も「社会の知識が成熟すれば、いずれ誰かが到達した発見を前倒しで達成したに過ぎない」と示唆した。天才とは特殊能力というより、時代の要請を効率よくカタチにする存在らしい。とすると、JBがファンクを作り出したのは「効率」なのか?なんか違う(笑)。
