近所にトルコ人が多く住む地域があって、そこのスーパーの品ぞろえがユニークだった。ピスタチオ入りの緑の焼き菓子「バクラヴァ」や、すごく伸びるアイス「ドンドゥルマ」など、大手チェーンでは見ない食べ物を売っていて発見の連続。あの不思議な食感のアイスがたまに恋しくなるのだが、最近はなんと、家庭でそれに似た食感のヨーグルトを楽しめる。どうやら「クレモリス菌」が鍵らしい。

以前のウェブでは、自分のサイトに有益な情報を載せれば、検索結果で上位に表示されるのが普通だった。ところが最近は、GoogleなどがAI検索を導入し、苦労して書いた情報が要約に使われて終わるだけ、という問題が起きている。「役に立つ情報ほど吸い取られる」悲劇が始まったというのだ。僕自身はむしろGoogle検索をあまり使わなくなり、使う時もAIによる要約機能はオフにしている。

「歴史に”たられば”はない」というのはその通りだ。でも、未来について空想したり、“たられば”を考えるのは悪いことじゃないと思う。過去の事ですら、事実は変えられなくても、その解釈は幾らでも変えられる。歴史は、エゴの強い「現実を都合よく捻じ曲げる人たち」によって作られてきた面があって、彼等の頭の中は自分勝手な“たられば(ファンタジー)”で一杯だ。僕ら普通の人だけが現実を直視してしかめっ面ばかりしているのは割に合わない。もっと空想しよう。
