Story
時々会って話すアメリカ人がいる。彼はシンガポール在住なのだけれども、なぜか気が合って、学会で話したり、東京やシンガポールでお酒を飲んだり、いろいろな意見を交換する。 彼も脳科学や意識の問題が専門だけれども、いつも小難しい話ばかりしているわけではない。女性が「天使」になって飛んでワインを持ってくるバーが気に入って、連日通ったこともある。森羅万象、それこそ政治から経済まで、ありとあらゆることを話して、飽きることがない。 先日、彼が東京に来たとき、一緒に秋葉原を歩いた。メイドの格好をした女の子たちを見て、目を丸くした彼。もっとも、好奇心を抱いたのかどうか、はっきりとはしなかったが。 東京にも住んでいたことがあるという彼。秋葉原を散策した後、その流れでお気に入りだという神田の「やぶそば」に行った。お酒を飲みながら肴をつまんで、それからそばを食べた。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
夏も盛りの、ある日のこと。 気温が高すぎて、十分な運動を確保できない。すると、だんだん体調が悪くなってくる。だから、多少暑くても、がまんして少しでも走ろうと思った。 夏の真ん中は、奇妙な季節。至るところに生きものの気配に充ちているようでいながら、不思議に「死」の影が忍び寄ってきている。森の中を走り抜ける時、そこかしこの葉っぱの上に、セミの抜け殻が果実のように「放置」されているのを見た。 飛んでいる蝶も、トンボも、ハチも、どこか、抜け殻のような透明な影を引きずっているようにも感じられる。今、こうして走っている自分も、何度も季節が回ったその後では、抜け殻のようになってしまうのだろう。 気温が高いので、少し走っただけで、汗が噴き出す。水道のところで、蛇口からすくって、身体にかける。すぐに乾いてしまうだろうけれども、無いよりはましだ。 森の脇を通っている細い道を走って、向こう側に抜けようとした、その時のことだった。土の上に、緑の点があった。なんだろう、と足を緩めると、点が、ふわっとかたまりへと変化した。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous – and most revered – doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.

There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.
