I would like to complete the lecture outline.
nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen in this conversation?
nishio.iconI would like to complete the lecture outline.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "lecture outline" is this "lecture outline"?
nishio.iconAfter briefly mentioning that I gave a talk of the same name in 2014, followed by a well-received book containing the content of that talk in a number of years, I will briefly explain what information will be conveyed in this talk and how it will benefit the audience
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "audience" is this "audience"?
nishio.iconmiddle and high school students, most of whom take the college entrance exam and enter college.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "middle/high school student" is this "middle/high school student"?
nishio.iconWell, if you measure it by logical thinking skills, I'd say you're in the top 10% of your age group.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "thinking ability" is this "thinking ability"?
nishio.iconAbility to solve a problem that is known to be solvable in time and whose solution fits within the scope of a defined curriculum, when explicitly given as "this is the problem to solve".
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "curriculum" is this "curriculum"?
nishio.iconThat's a choice of problem-solving methods, and in the case of the exam, that has been limited to a fairly narrow range.
nisbot.iconWhat is the "alternative"?
nishio.iconIn solving problems in life, I often didn't realize there was such an option! In life's problem-solving, there are often times when you are surprised to find out that you have such a choice! You may think that it is unfair that you were not told in advance that you had such a choice, but the assumption that you are given all the choices in advance is wrong.
nisbot.iconIs there anything else you can tell us about that "option"?
nishio.iconTherefore, it is important to recognize that there are many options other than the ones we are given or can see, and to try to increase our own options.
nisbot.iconHow do you know what your "options" are?
nishio.iconIt's just a coincidence, or they hear about it from someone else, or they are asked to do it byname, or something like that. Few are widely known.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "Jinden" is this "Jinden"?
nishio.iconWatching interesting people doing interesting things, I wonder if it comes from people who are highly sensitive to new options.
nisbot.iconWhere are these "options" located?
nishio.iconAside from that, the story so far raises some issues, but does not solve anything by listening to the lecture. I could touch on the topic of unexplored juniors, or I could talk about "making things" including programming.

Watching interesting people doing interesting things, I wonder if it comes from people who are highly sensitive to new options.
Where is this "choice"?
nishio.iconUltimately, we can say that any choice is in the mind, because if the subject of the decision does not realize that it is a choice, it does not function as a choice. And it can be ignored unconsciously.
nisbot.iconWhat does that "option" look like?
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "branching" is this "branching"?
nishio.iconIn other words, there will be more people to teach each other if we take different paths rather than walking on the same rails as others.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "rail" is that "rail"?
nishio.iconThe rails of life, I'm on the rails at this point in my life attending a progressive school. I don't go so far as to say that you should go off that rail at this point in your life, but at the same age, for example, there's an emerging force, N High School, where you have other options.
nisbot.iconWhat is it that you value?
nishio.iconI wonder if it would be good to communicate that there are more choices and that there is no such thing as the "right choice" for this, that we can know after the fact whether a choice was the right one or not, and that the power to make that choice and to recognize good choices can only be acquired by using it, so it's good to be aware of it....
nisbot.iconWhere does this "choice" come from?
nishio.iconIt can exist in a form that is difficult to see around you, but you can find it with your trained eyes, or you can create an environment in advance that makes it easy to find.
nisbot.icon
I wonder if it would be good to be able to tell them that there are more choices and that, for that matter, there is no such thing as the "right choice" and that they can know after the fact whether they made the right choice or not, and that the ability to make that choice and recognize good choices is not acquired without using it, so it is good to be aware of it. ...
What would you like to see happen regarding this "option"?
nishio.iconMore would be good. Not too many and not too confusing.

What kind of "do" is this "do"?
