How to deal with other people's words

Let many people know

Often beneficial to project objectives

https://gyazo.com/ff4debd45b01c72a112332fbb450c276

When many people know...

Increases the probability of encountering people who react negatively.

Positive responses include: "Interesting! "Fun!"

People who respond negatively "boring" or "crap".

https://gyazo.com/8928d2daf72ab57fe2d1e8612779e3f2

Need to be able to go through it.

Let's learn to "not care" and "not take it so seriously."

If you take negative reactions seriously, they hurt you.

be demotivated

The project will not move forward.

You are exposed to the virus of the word "boring," and even you are infected with the feeling of being boring

It is beneficial to "not take it too seriously."

Parable of the Summer Cicadas

Cicadas are loud and noisy in the summer.

It's not your fault the cicadas are noisy.

Even after killing a few cicadas, there are still plenty of them, and they come out every year.

Cicadas chirping in summer" is just a natural phenomenon.

The "negative people when many people know about it" is just a natural phenomenon, don't worry about it.

Do you want to argue?

Especially when they're saying things that aren't right, you want to argue with them and say, "No, sir, you're misguided.

Some people may (or may not) change their minds when I argue with them.

Those whose goal is to deny the project...

https://gyazo.com/58bd525b8750a1b85237f64836384a44

If they argue, they go to someone else.

It's all about denial.

Lost time never comes back.

Putting all my energy into my projects

More beneficial to the project than refuting

https://gyazo.com/87905f2eb0da857f37d28ae5404593ed

Afraid of a negative reaction?

Knowledge is the antidote to fear.

The parable of the frightened cat

Aggressive people are like cats.

A frightened cat tries to appear bigger, louder, and makes aggressive noises

People who try to make themselves look big and make loud, aggressive comments resemble frightened cats.

If you put your hand out, you'll get bit.

Monarch Morality and Slave Morality

Nietzsche pointed out that there are two different ideas of "goodness."

Herrenmoral (master morality, as a philosophical concept of Nietzsche)

Is it beneficial to the realization of the objectives?

Beneficial is good, harmful is bad.

Sklavenmoral (slave morality, as a philosophical concept of Nietzsche)

Majority is good.

Bad because there are few monarchs or other rulers.

Good because they are the majority who are governed.

https://gyazo.com/99b6861b188a1922bba02544336b757d

Power and Equality

Rulers have the power, we don't.

→ Having power is bad.

→It is bad that only a few people have power, equality is good.

What exactly is power?

Programming skills, $500,000 budget, fast PCs, support from mentors, ability to attract an audience for results reporting sessions...

Beneficial for achieving project objectives

https://gyazo.com/6e4b3d6f8d8bd76bc0efc6cddeab43eb

Empowering a select few.

Good? Bad?

(Monarch Moralist) Good because it is beneficial to the realization of the project's objectives.

(It's not fair! Not equal! Not good!

(Monarch Moralist) 500,000 x 12 projects is 6 million, there are 3 million high school students in the country, if you distribute equally to all of them, 2 yen per person, you won't get anything done...

Monarch Morality and Slave Morality (Summary)

Discussions with people who have different definitions of "goodness" are futile.

For those who believe in the slave morality that "the majority is good," the existence of a few selected unexplored juniors is evil in itself.

Fundamentally unaffectionate ideology

= waste of time arguing about it.

= Not beneficial to the achievement of the project's objectives

appendix

So far we've talked about negative reactions.

Talk about related positive reactions (advice, etc.)

https://gyazo.com/d1393c1051127f3b9976f04aad721747

You decide what is a useful opinion.

Advice often misses the mark

You understand the purpose of the project better than anyone else in the world.

Compared to you who have thought about the project for dozens of hours, people who have only spent a few minutes to a few hours are not very good at understanding the project.

The advice I got may be misguided.

Let's only do what you think is "beneficial" to you.

When someone says to you, "You should do X," and you do it without thinking for yourself, others will ask you, "Why did you do X?" When other people ask you, "Why did you do X?"...

https://gyazo.com/d430773235b52c42d36575833bc888de

Ask questions and get more information!

To get a better idea of whether the comments are useful or not

Example, "You should change it."

→What? To what? How do you change it?

Example, "You should change X to Y."

I don't know what problem you are trying to solve by making the change.

→Why? "What problem does the change solve?"

I don't see how solving that problem relates to the project's objectives.

→Why? "How does this relate to the project objectives?"
