Diary 2025-05-12
I'm exhausted and go to bed around 25:00, so I wake up around 7:00 the next morning and wake up early.
One more task, and it's still 10:30.
12:00 Calm down and organize information

takahiroanno plurality author Audrey Tan, Glenn Weil, Japanese commentator Ken Suzuki, and a mysterious Youtuber, and the mysterious Mr. Ken Suzuki, who is the Japanese version commentator! https://gyazo.com/e11f27905c27dbd0458837d20f331917
nishio I lined up the Japanese-English Plurality book and it's a little thicker and a little lower. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gqt4_eabsAAu6ks?format=jpg&name=small#.png
hegemony_fyp It sounds nice to have someone who can show us a hopeful future, but I think the way of plurality is not to seek such a messiah, but to create the future through the collaboration of everyone. I think it is the way of plurality #plurality @Univ. of Tokyo

nishio Q&A, bombastic English questions are being answered back in bombastic English, so I could only catch "Did we talk about ZKP?", this is a full spec conversation when there's no translation in between. !!! #TokyoPluralityWeek https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GqusdAlacAAA4bR?format=jpg&name=small#.png

Q: If the problem to decide is binary, isn't it still binary after all even if you enrich the front?
A: In the past and due to poor aggregation techniques, only simple questions could be asked in collective decision making, which led to many such problems.
nishio Q: Wouldn't that also result in a convergence to a single value as long as we decide on a single value or aggregation? A: If diverse communities coexist, community members can choose different values and people can move to the community they prefer
nishio Q: Isn't that a division of the community? A: We must keep it easy to move between communities. As Audrey explained with the highway transit parallels and mobile number portability, we need to make sure that we keep the state of being able to transfer at any time.
nishio #TokyoPluralityWeek While watching this slide and listening to the English, it suddenly became clear to me that it is important to actually take action, as Audrey embodies, and that if you lack action, you will not become Plurality. I realized that it is important to actually take action, as Audrey embodies, and if action is lacking, there is no Plurality, which is why she travels around the world every minute. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GqvDDmyb0AAnfMk?format=jpg&name=small#.png

hiratakuchan 2nd PMT Study Group. Audrey Tang, Taiwan's first Minister of Digital Development, and Glenn Weil, Microsoft Chief Scientist and economist, visited Japan today to celebrate the publication of their new book, PLURALITY. At the workshop, they gave a proposal-oriented lecture on the future digital democracy driven by Japan, focusing on PLURALITY. Afterwards, it was an excellent opportunity to deepen understanding through a question-and-answer session with the participating Diet members. A summary of today's proceedings will be made available immediately after the meeting, with the aim of improving the policy-making process and reducing the administrative workload. #Takuya Hirai #PMT Study Group #audreytang #glenweyl #audreytang #glenweyl https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gqu9zVaboAA7rPq?format=jpg&name=medium#.png
The obi of "All possible futures examined" is not an exaggeration (lol). I read the English version last year, and I thought it would have been easier to read if I had Ken Suzuki's commentary at that time. If you think "Plurality is difficult...", I recommend you to read the Japanese version first.
