人間は物語を自分本位に紡いでしまう性質がある。それが時に独善となり、自分を苦しめる。ヴィクトール・フランクルの説く「生きる意味」が、いつしか自分を縛る「執着(べき論)」に変貌する瞬間だ。ここでアルバート・エリスは「その解釈は認知的にゆがんでいないか? 自分を助ける考えか?」と自問し、主観の暴走を食い止めることを提唱する。フランクルとエリスは対照的に見えて、実は「解釈という刃」を使いこなすための、表裏一体の考え方だと思う。

今月の Financial Timesで紹介されていた、各国の AI に対する印象を比較したグラフが印象に残っている。イプソスという調査会社のデータを図表化したものだったと思うが、日本は AI への不安も期待も、そして恩恵への実感も先進国で最下位だった。AI にユートピアもディストピアも感じない、というのは「バランス感覚がある」とするのか、「無批判・無抵抗(=お人好し)すぎる」のかは見方次第。ただ、Gemini は「ジェミナイ」と呼んでほしかったかな。

数か月前にウォーキングマシンを購入して以降、外の坂道ウォーキングの時間を半分に減らしている。そのお陰で足裏の調子は随分良いのだが、太陽の光を浴びる時間も半減してしまった。日照(メラトニン)不足対策としてLEDの室内灯を仕事中煌々と照らして使うのだが、6、7年使っているもののこれの効果はさっぱり分からない。で、いつも「常夏の島で毎日、太陽の下でランニングするのが一番」という、当たり前の結論に達する。
