Hi, I want to continue this conversation.
Of course, let's continue. You were discussing organizing thoughts on a two-dimensional board. After placing your ideas on the board, what's the next step in your process? How does this help in developing your thoughts or stories?
Before answering the question, I want to explain about how to find the relationship between pieces.
Sure, I'd like to hear more about how you find relationships between the pieces. What's your process for identifying these connections? How do you determine which pieces are related?
I saw a research about the difference between Asian and European. So, I mean, Asian people are
It sounds like you came across research discussing differences between Asian and European perspectives, possibly in how they see relationships between things. What did you find interesting about this research? How does it relate to the way you understand or find relationships between ideas?
In the research, there is a question, which are closer in monkey, tiger, and bananas? Which do you think is closer?
That's an interesting question from the research. Looking at monkey, tiger, and bananas, one might think differently based on their perspective. I'm curious, how would you answer this question? Which do you think are closer, and why?
In the research, Asian people tend to choose bananas and monkeys are closer, but on the other hand, European people tend to choose monkeys and tigers because they are both animals.
That's a fascinating observation from the research. It highlights how cultural perspectives can influence how we categorize or relate things. The Asian perspective focusing on the relationship between monkeys and bananas, and the European perspective grouping monkeys and tigers as animals. How does this understanding of different perspectives influence your approach to finding relationships between ideas?
Yes, the action of European people using abstract concepts to organizing items. In the other hand, the Asian people choose a more concrete relationship between two things is used to organize.
That's an insightful distinction. Europeans might use abstract concepts for organization, while Asians might focus on concrete relationships. How does this difference in approach affect the way you think about organizing and connecting ideas? Do you lean more towards one approach in your methods?
Yes, in KG methods, we shouldn't focus on abstract concepts. On the other hand, we should focus more on concrete, clever, or
Got it. In the KG method, the emphasis is on concrete and specific relationships rather than abstract concepts. This approach seems to encourage more detailed and grounded thinking. How do you apply this focus on concrete details in your process? What kind of outcomes have you seen from using this method?
By using this method, sometimes we have prejudice in category, but after you find the concrete relationship between things, observation, and thought, there is an unknown structure you didn't mention, you didn't notion it.
That's an intriguing outcome. Using the KG method to focus on concrete relationships can reveal new structures and connections that might have been overlooked with more abstract categorization. How do you feel when you discover these unknown structures? What impact do these discoveries have on your understanding or approach to a problem?
Finding new structure make me change our perspective and then we can find new action to change the situation.
That sounds like a powerful shift. Discovering new structures can change perspectives and lead to new actions. How has this change in perspective helped you in a specific situation? Can you share an example where finding a new structure led to a beneficial change?
I usually use the method to organize my lecture notes.
Using the method to organize lecture notes sounds like a practical application. How does this approach help you understand and remember the material better? What difference have you noticed in your learning or comprehension?
Sorry, I made a mistake, a misunderstanding of my lecture, not me. I do some lectures.
No problem! So, you use this method when preparing your own lectures. How does this approach help you structure your lectures more effectively? What impact does it have on the way you teach or convey information to your audience?
Usually, knowledge has a complex structure and is connected to each other, so there is a very dense, complex network. But then, when I do the lecture, I need to speak in a one-dimensional timeline, so I need to find a good order to speak topics. It is a good way to use this method. At first, I visualize the structure of knowledge, and then I determine which order I use to speak.
That's a smart strategy. Visualizing the complex network of knowledge and then determining the best order to present it in a lecture. It sounds like this helps you create a clear, logical flow for your audience. How do your students or audience members respond to this structured approach in your lectures? Do they find it easier to understand and follow?
At least, my book was sold many times by a lot of printings.
That's impressive! It sounds like your approach, reflected in your book, resonates well with readers. The success in multiple printings suggests that your method of organizing and presenting information is effective. What feedback have you received about your book? How does it feel to know your work is reaching and helping so many people?
Because my vision is to augment individual's ability, I'm happy to share my knowledge and enhance the reader's ability, especially intellectual ability.
That's wonderful. Your vision of augmenting individual abilities, particularly intellectual abilities, is clearly impactful. Sharing your knowledge to enhance others' skills must be very fulfilling. Seeing your vision take shape through your book and lectures, how do you plan to continue this journey of enabling and empowering others?
Currently, my lecture and books are written in Japanese. Some books are translated in Korean and Chinese. But I want to spread my thoughts to global people all over the world. I want to enhance more people.
Expanding your reach globally is a commendable goal, especially given your desire to enhance people's abilities. Considering your aspirations, have you thought about translating your work into more languages, like English? Or maybe using online platforms to reach a wider audience? What are your plans to make your teachings more accessible worldwide?
Currently, I am making a translation system of a UDIS system, Scrapbooks. It is my memorandum for my thoughts and lectures on my own books.
That's an innovative approach. Developing a translation system like the UDIS system for your scrapbooks, thoughts, and lectures sounds like a great way to make your work accessible to a global audience. How is the development of this system going? What challenges and successes have you encountered in creating this tool?
I just finished the structure, I just finished the development to keep the structure with knowledge networks, and then tomorrow I will make a translation system on it. Maybe some long pages have trouble to translate, but maybe not so much. I can handle it.
Congratulations on completing the structure and development of your knowledge network system. It's impressive that you're now moving on to integrate a translation system into it. Handling long pages might be challenging, but it sounds like you're well-prepared to manage it. As you work on this translation feature, what are you most excited about? How do you envision this tool enhancing your ability to share your knowledge globally?
Sorry, what is your question? Please repeat again.
Sure, I was asking about your translation system project. What excites you most about integrating this feature into your knowledge network? And how do you think this tool will help in sharing your knowledge with a global audience?
Okay, it is a difficult challenge. I'm preparing the material to share for global people, but I'm not sure it helps global people actually. I mean, I think I need another approach to progress. Maybe I should use the KJ method to organize next action.
That sounds like a thoughtful approach. Using the KJ method to organize your next steps could be very effective. It's great that you're considering different strategies to ensure your material helps people globally. How do you plan to use the KJ method in this context? What specific actions or decisions are you hoping to clarify with it?
Maybe I need to find opportunity to connect other people, global people, but I didn't find yet. I didn't find the same yet. So I need to explore more. I need to know where to explore the opportunity.
Exploring opportunities for global connections is a key step. It's great that you're open to exploring more. Using the KJ method could help you identify where and how to find these opportunities. What are some areas or platforms you're considering for exploration? How might you start this process of finding the right connections?
Currently, I'm discussing engaging with a community of plurality. It is a kind of collaborative diversity.
Engaging with a community focused on collaborative diversity sounds like a promising direction. It could offer valuable opportunities for connection and sharing your ideas globally. How do you plan to contribute to this community? What kind of collaboration or projects are you hoping to develop with them?
In the community, they are writing new books in GitHub, and then they want to translate it to all over the world. So I contribute to translate the books into Japanese.
That's a great contribution, translating books into Japanese for the community. It's a meaningful way to participate and share knowledge globally. How has the experience of translating these books been for you? What do you find most rewarding about this work?
Before translating the book, I think a good understanding is the foundation of good translation.
Absolutely, a deep understanding of the content is essential for effective translation. It ensures that the essence and nuances of the original text are preserved. How do you approach gaining a thorough understanding of the books before you start translating? What methods or practices do you find helpful?
First, I made a wiki system, Scrapbox, for the translation community in Japan. Currently, I and two people are engaging in the project. I think it makes knowledge networks in Japanese. It is very beneficial for the future translation.
Creating a wiki system like Scrapbox for your translation community is a forward-thinking approach. Collaborating with others in this way to build knowledge networks in Japanese seems like a strong foundation for future translation work. How has this collaborative environment influenced your translation process? What benefits have you seen from using this system?
