Firstdates can be exciting and nerve-wrackingallatonce.You’re meetingsomeone new, learning about their interests, and trying to figureout if there’schemistrybetweenyou. And then there’s flirting, that delicate dance of showingsomeoneyou’re interested withoutbeing too forward or awkward.
Flirtingdoesn’t have to be a high-pressuresituation. Infact,it can bethe mostfun part ofgetting to knowsomeone. Whetheryou're meetingsomeoneonMixerDates orany other platform,the most important thingis to be genuine,staycalm, and let theconnection developnaturally.
Ifyou’ve everfoundyourself wondering how to flirton a firstdate withoutfeeling uncomfortable,you’re notalone. Everyonehas their awkwardmoments, but themoreyou understand theart of flirting, the easierit becomes. In thisarticle, we’llbreak down how to flirt in a way thatfeelsnatural, exciting,and authentic towhoyou are. So, let'sdive in and learn how tomakethe most ofyour firstdate experience—withoutoverthinkingit.
Whenit comes to flirting, confidenceiskey. But whatdoesit really mean to be confidenton a firstdate? Confidencedoesn’t meanyouneed to be perfect, or evenoutgoing—it simply meansbeing comfortable inyour ownskin and showing upasyour authentic self.
Haveyou ever noticed how people are drawn to thosewho radiate self-assurance?It’s not aboutbragging or dominating the conversation—it’s about presentingyourself with ease. Ifyoufeelgood aboutyourself,itwillnaturally show. A greatsmile,good posture, and eye contact cango a long way in making agoodfirst impression.
For instance, think about thelasttimesomeone walked into a room and immediately caughtyourattention—not because they werethe mostattractive person in the room, but because of their energy. They were confident, they were present, and theymadeyoufeelat ease. That’s the kind of confidenceyou want to projectonyourdate.
Whenyou're confident,you're not worried about saying the perfect thing. Instead,youfocuson enjoying themoment, making the other personfeel comfortable, and letting theconnection happennaturally. That’s themagic of confidence—itallowsyou to be present,fun, and,most importantly,yourself.
Let’s faceit—noonewants tofeellike they’rebeing “worked” or put through a game. That’swhy subtletyis such a powerfultool whenit comes to flirting.It'sall about showing interest withoutbeingover-the-top or too obvious.
Flirtingdoesn’talways mean complimentingsomeone non-stop or using cheesy pickup lines. Infact,the most successful flirtingis the kind that happens behind the scenes—subtle, playful, andlighthearted. Think about thelittlemoments,like a teasing comment about how theyalways order the same thingat a restaurant or the wayyou laughat a silly joke theymake.
Thekeyis to find a balance. Asimplesmile or a playful comment can convey interest withoutbeing too much. For example, ifyourdate tellsyou theylove hiking but theytend togetlost easily,you could saysomethinglike, “So,you’re telling meyouneed a personal guide? I couldget behind that!”It’slighthearted, humorous, andmost importantly,it keeps the conversationfun without putting too much pressureon thesituation.
By keepingit subtle,youallowyourdate tofeelat ease.Ittakes the pressure off them to be perfectand allows both ofyou to enjoy the interactionmorenaturally. Flirtingdoesn’tneed to be a performance—it’s about creating an environment where both ofyou canfeel comfortableand authentic.
Now,let’stalk aboutsomething incredibly important in the flirting game:active listening. When we’reon adate, we oftenget caught up in thinking about what to saynext, how we’re coming across, or if we’rebeing interesting enough. But the best way tomake animpression? Truly listening toyourdate.
Active listening meansyou’re fullyengaged in the conversation, givingyourdateyour fullattention and responding thoughtfully.It’s about showing thatyou care about what they’re saying and thatyou’re genuinely interested ingetting to know them better. Whenyou listenactively,you’re also giving them space toopen up, and that can create an immediateconnection.
For example, ifyourdate mentions they recently traveled toJapan, instead of simply saying, “That’scool!”you could follow up withsomethinglike, “Whatwasthe most memorable experienceyou had there?” This shows thatyou’re not just hearing their words but are genuinely curious and invested in their experiences.It’s a great way to build rapport and let them knowyou’re not just there toimpress them—you’re there toconnect.
Whileyour words are important,body language often speaks louder thananythingyou can say. Whetheryourealizeit or not,yourbodyis constantly communicating howyoufeel. Howyousit, stand, andmove tellsyourdate whetheryou’rerelaxed,engaged, or distracted.
Small gestures cango a long way in flirting. Alight touchon thearm, a subtle lean in when they’re speaking, or maintaininggood eye contact—all thesebody language cues helpsignalyour interest. Andthe great thingis, whendonenaturally, these cues can be justas effectiveas words.
For example, ifyou’resittingat a caféonyourdate andyou lean in slightly when they’re sharing afunnystory,you’re not just showing thatyou’re interested—you’re inviting them intoyour space.It’s aninvitation toconnect further. And when they respondby leaning in too, that’s when themagic happens—the unspokenconnection that tellsyou both that there’s potential formore.
Flirting throughbody languagedoesn’t mean making grand gestures orbeingoverly touchy.It’s aboutbeing present and showing thatyou’reengagedwith yourdate in a subtle, but meaningful way.
It’s easy toget caught up inoverthinking how to flirt or trying to figureout ifyourdateis intoyou. Buthere’s asecret—whenyou letgo of the pressureand allowyourself to havefun,everything flows muchmorenaturally. Flirtingon a firstdatedoesn’tneed tofeellike atest or anassignment.It’s supposed to be afun,lighthearted experience that sets the stage formore greatdates ahead.
Whenwas thelasttimeyou had a genuinelyfundate?Wasit whenyou were trying too hard toimpress, or whenyou were both laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other's company? Flirting becomes effortless whenyou're present, enjoying themoment, and letting theconnection grownaturally.
Sometimes,it's the smallmoments—like sharing a laugh or swapping embarrassing stories—thatmake a firstdate truly special. Whenyoufocuson havingfun,you create an environment where both ofyou canrelax, flirt, and let thechemistry grow. That’s thesecret to a greatdate.
One of the best things about using a platformlikeMixerDatesis thatittakes the guessworkout of the equation.Byconnecting withsomeonewho already sharesyour interests and values,you’vegot a head starton making a realconnection.No more swiping through countless profiles hoping for aspark—onMixerDates,you already know there’ssomething incommon.
Whenyou’re alreadyon the same pagewith yourdate, flirting comesmore easily. There’s less of that awkward, “Are we evenon the same wavelength?”feeling, andmore of thefun, “Wow, we reallyclick!” vibe. Whetheryou’retalking aboutfavorite hobbies, movies, orlifegoals, the conversation flowsnaturally, making the flirtingfeel effortless.
Ifyou're looking for a place to meetlike-minded people and build genuineconnections,MixerDatesis the perfect platform.It's a great place to findsomeonewho appreciatesyou forwhoyou are andwhoyou cannaturally flirt with, without the stress.
Flirtingon a firstdateisall about confidence,connection, andfun. Whenyou letgo of the pressure andfocuson enjoyingthe experience, thechemistrywillnaturally follow. Remember, the best way to flirtisbybeingyourself—letyour personalityshine through, listen with intention, and embrace themoment.

Belowis a very speculative chart that—basedon what we know aboutEarth’s long, windingpath fromsimplelife to a “civilizedsociety” and our limited observations of nearby exoplanets—gives somefun,made‑uppercentage chances for a few of our best candidate exoplanets. Remember: Scientists havenot yetfoundany proof oflife (let alone advancedcivilizations)onany exoplanet. Thesenumbers are just playful estimates to helpyou think about theideas!
Speculative Chances of Finding an AdvancedCivilizationon Nearby Exoplanets
Exoplanet EstimatedLikelihood of a CivilizedSociety
Proxima Centauri b ~2%
LHS 1140 b ~0.5%
HowDid We (Very Roughly) Guess TheseNumbers?
Earth’s Example:
OnEarth,life beganassimple single‑celled organisms and took billions of years to evolve into a species that builtcomplex societies. This longjourney suggests that—even if aplanetis in the “habitablezone” (where liquid water could exist)—developing an advanced, civilizedsociety might be rare.
Proxima Centauri b:
Thisis the closest exoplanet to us. Even thoughitsstar (Proxima Centauri)is ared dwarf that sometimes sendsout strongflares (which might harmlife),its closeness makesitone of ourmost interesting candidates. That’swhy we giveit a slightly higher guess (~2%).
Theseplanets are part of agroup orbiting a verycoolstar. Their environments might be challenging (for example, they could be tidally locked, meaningone sidealwaysfaces thestar), so the chance of acomplex, advancedcivilization might be abitlower.
LHS 1140 b:
Thisplanetis promising in some ways butis alittle fartherawayand around a dimmerstar, so our playful estimateis evenlower.
All of thesepercentages are extremely rough guessesbasedon whatlittle we understand about the conditions forlife andintelligence. Scientists useideaslike the Drake Equation to think about these chances—but until we have concreteevidence, thesenumbers remain just forfun and imagination.
Enjoy exploring theseideas—and remember, spaceis full of mysteries waiting to be discovered!

re-examining the Drake Equation

OK, let me see. The Drake Equationisn't a precise formula;it'smore of a guiding heuristic that tackles numerous uncertainties regarding extraterrestrialcivilizations.
Thinking through the Drake Equation, I’m evaluatingits conceptualnature,its uncertain parameters, andits criticism to concludeonits reliabilityas an accurate predictivemodel.
Understanding the Drake Equation
I’m mappingout the Drake Equationas a conceptual guide, detailingits parameters, which are oftenbasedon estimates or opinions, to evaluateits reliability for predicting extraterrestrialcivilizations.
The Drake Equationis a famous formula thatwas created to help scientists think about the manyfactors involved in estimating thenumber of detectable extraterrestrialcivilizations in ourgalaxy. However, when welookat the equation closely, we see thatitismore of a conceptualframework or heuristictool than a precise, predictive formula.Let’sbreak downwhy:
The equationis usually writtenas:

Uncertain Inputs:

𝐿
L—arebasedon very limited data. For example,Earthis theonlyplanet we know wherelifehas developed, so we have no way to compare or derive a statistically robust estimate for thesefactors. This means that thevalues chosen for these parameters are largely subjective estimates or educated guesses.
Wide Ranges of PossibleValues:
Because many of thesefactors are not well-constrained, ifyouchangeone of themore uncertain parameters even slightly, thefinal estimate for
𝑁
N (thenumber ofcivilizations) can varyby many orders ofmagnitude. This wide range shows that the equation canlead to very differentoutcomesbasedonpersonal or theoreticalassumptions.
The Drake Equationwas never meant to provide a preciseanswer. Instead,it servesas a way to organize our thinking about what conditions might be necessary for the development of extraterrestrialcivilizations.It encourages discussion about the relative importance of differentfactors andhighlights where our scientific knowledgeis limited.
Is the Drake Equation Accurate orMore Opinion-Based?
Accurate?
In thesense ofbeing a strict mathematicalmodel with well-defined inputs and predictableoutputs, the Drake Equationis not accurate.Its accuracyis limitedbythe extreme uncertainties in several ofitskey parameters.
Many of the terms in the equation, especially those concerning theevolution oflife andintelligence, arebasedon opinion, interpretation, and the single example ofEarth. Therefore, while thestructure of the equationis logical, thenumbersyou put intoit (and hence thefinal result) are oftenmore reflective of our current opinionsand assumptions than of robust empirical data.
The Drake Equationis a valuabletool for framing the question of extraterrestriallife.It helps scientists and enthusiastsbreak down acomplex problem into smaller,more manageable questions. However, because several ofitsfactors are highly uncertain and subject topersonal interpretation,itismore of a conceptual guide—or even a way to stimulate discussion—than a formula that provides a definitive, accurate prediction of thenumber of extraterrestrialcivilizations.
Insummary, while the Drake Equationis useful for thinking about the variousfactors that mightlead to the emergence of acivilization,itsoutputs should betakenas highly speculative estimates rather than precise measurements.

Because many of thesefactors are not well-constrained, ifyouchangeone of themore uncertain parameters even slightly, thefinal estimate for

N (thenumber ofcivilizations) can varyby many orders ofmagnitude. This wide range shows that the equation canlead to very differentoutcomesbasedonpersonal or theoreticalassumptions.
The Drake Equationwas never meant to provide a preciseanswer. Instead,it servesas a way to organize our thinking about what conditions might be necessary for the development of extraterrestrialcivilizations.It encourages discussion about the relative importance of differentfactors andhighlights where our scientific knowledgeis limited.
Is the Drake Equation Accurate orMore Opinion-Based?
Accurate?
In thesense ofbeing a strict mathematicalmodel with well-defined inputs and predictableoutputs, the Drake Equationis not accurate.Its accuracyis limitedbythe extreme uncertainties in several ofitskey parameters.
Many of the terms in the equation, especially those concerning theevolution oflife andintelligence, arebasedon opinion, interpretation, and the single example ofEarth. Therefore, while thestructure of the equationis logical, thenumbersyou put intoit (and hence thefinal result) are oftenmore reflective of our current opinionsand assumptions than of robust empirical data.
The Drake Equationis a valuabletool for framing the question of extraterrestriallife.It helps scientists and enthusiastsbreak down acomplex problem into smaller,more manageable questions. However, because several ofitsfactors are highly uncertain and subject topersonal interpretation,itismore of a conceptual guide—or even a way to stimulate discussion—than a formula that provides a definitive, accurate prediction of thenumber of extraterrestrialcivilizations.
Insummary, while the Drake Equationis useful for thinking about the variousfactors that mightlead to the emergence of acivilization,itsoutputs should betakenas highly speculative estimates rather than precise measurements.

Evaluating non-humanintelligence
I'm thinking about the potential for non-human intelligentlife forms in theSol system and neighboringplanets, and how this mightfactor into the equation.
I'm thinking about how to integrate the emergence of non-human intelligentlife, possiblyonMars orEuropa, into the Drake Equation for theSol system and neighboringplanets.
It's interesting to think about the hypothesis of intelligentlife emergingonMars orVenus, thoughEarth remains theonly knownlife-supportingplanet in thesolar system.
Considering other realms
I'm examining if intelligentlife could have emergedonplanetslikeMars,Venus, orEuropa, and how thispossibility alignswith the predictions of the Drake Equation.
Hmm, I’m thinking about how non-human intelligentlifeonMars orVenus could intersectwith theassumptions of the Drake Equation, which seems tofocussolelyonEarth-basedevolution.
I’m piecingtogether the hypothesis of non-human, advanced, intelligentlife in thesolar system.Mars,Venus, and Titan present challenges, butEuropa and Enceladus might harbor microbiallife.

I Traveled to 46States inAmerica ThisSummer.Here’sWhyTrump Won.
By Frank S. Zhou
By Ezekiel A. Wells
Ezekiel A. Wells ’27is aDouble Concentrator in Environment Science & Engineering and Economics in EliotHouse. He spentlastsummertraveling to 46Americanstates conductinginterviews forhisYouTube series, “CrossroadsAmerica.”
A week after Democrats’ election loss, accusations have flown in every direction within their Party. Some faultPresidentJoe Biden for an egoistic refusal todropout of therace earlier. Someblame the Harris campaign for failing to servekey demographics and communicate a clearvision for the country. And someblameAmericans, claiming that racism and sexism drove voters towardTrump.
These factors certainly exist, but we’remissing a largerpiece of the picture.
Over thesummer, I traveled to 46states in the U.S., creating aYouTube series highlighting slices oflife across the country. In conversations from my nearly three-monthroad trip, I spoke with Republicanswho were certain that inflationis entirely Biden’s fault and Democratswho, despite their frustrations with corporate profits and desires foruniversal healthcare, hoped for amore moderate candidate. From supporters ofall candidates, I heard a shockingamount of misinformation.
After combing through hundreds of hours ofinterview footage fromswingstateTrump voters, Iam certain that,as muchas other factors influenced theoutcome of the election, our crumbling media landscape — whichhas caused arift in our democracy —ismost toblame.
In the postwar period,newswas dominatedby threemain channels, and because ofthe FairnessDoctrine, eachstation reported the same stories and covered multiple sides of eachissue.Viewers picked which channels they watchedmainly basedon their preferences fornewsanchors’ personalities. Of course, thismodel hadits problems, but,at the end of the day,it meant thatAmericans worked with a sharedset of facts.
A sharedset of factsis notthe world welive intoday.
Throughout myinterviews, conspiracy theories were rampant, andonat leastfive separate occasions across separatestates, Iwas told that Bill Gates tampers with ourfood, adding plastic to our fruits and vegetables tomakehis medical investmentsmore profitable.
In conversations with voters, neither side seemed able tonamemany specific policyissues they cared about; everyone just seemed to repeat the words of theirfavorite pundits,podcast hosts, andinternet personalities.
Although this behavioris harmful, Idon’tblame everydayAmericans.Blame fallson the media thathas ostracized, disillusioned, and misinformed them.

I firstsaw this trend withlow-wage workers in West Virginia,who — despitefalling inflationrates — have seen stagnated salaries and clear increases infood costs. ChannelslikeFoxNews bred anger and resentment formany of them.
TakeJuly of thissummer, for example, when for the firsttime inhis presidency, prices actually fell under the Biden administration. Traditional media establishments rushed tocelebrate thisvictory, withone article fromCNN declaring, “The White House can finallycrossout ‘inflation’onits list ofpresidential liabilities.” However,outside these bubbles, I observedmanyAmericans held a differentview.
In lateJuly, Iwas welcomedat a massive familyreunion in Tylertown, Mississippi, whereoneTrump voter — a middle-aged, Black, familyman, pastor, andsoulfood enthusiast —made this clear.
“When Igo in the grocery stores, and Igotta spend mylast toget groceries,you mean totell me I’m notgonnalook and seewho’sgonna vote to help me? I voted forTrump and I’d vote forhimagain, because he put money in ourpocket,” he told me.
In their coverage,mainstreamnews organizations obsessover the Federal Reserve’snextrate cuts while failing toconnect with people concernedwith theirnext meals.With titleslike “Vance:YoungAmericans ‘Are Becoming Paupers’ Due To Inflation, High Housing Costs,” siteslike The DailyWire had their fingerson the pulse ofAmerican sentiment, welcoming new readership from thosewhofelt neglectedby traditional media.
This problemwas not just confined to the economy. While Biden’s mentalstatewas deteriorating,liberal mediaoutlets seemed to under-cover these stories, shelteringhim from scrutiny ofhis declining capabilities, until theinfamouspresidential debate.
Formerly trusted networksslowlymade themselves indigestible to the polarizedAmerican public, and in 2024, for the third year in a row, a Gallup pollfound thatmoreAmericans indicated having “no trust” in the media than thosewho trustit a “great deal/fairamount”.
So wheredoes the averageAmerican turn when thenation’s media cannot be trusted? Formany people,itwasYouTubetalk shows,Newsmax, andpodcasters suchasJoe Rogan.
While Democrats seek toblame various internal factors for this election’s loss, I cannot help but think ofJoe Rogan’sTrump endorsement, themany blind lies I heard from ordinary citizens across the country, and declining trust inAmerican journalism.
AsHarvard students and members of highereducation institutions, we have a part to play in the problem.AtHarvard’s Institute ofPolitics, thosewho denied the 2020 election results have been precluded from speakingat theJFKJr. Forum. While thegoalis understandable,it shields students from understanding theAmericanviewpoints they represent.

Thereis adifferencebetween platforming intentional andmanipulative misinformation and listening to and learning about where people are and what theybelieve.
As a pipeline tomainstream media,Harvard, andits future journalists, have to consider the audience they lose when theystay inside of their bubble and ignore theissues of everydayAmericans.
The disappearance of factual importance in our worldis alarming and dangerous, but if we,asaspiring journalists, politicians, andengaged citizens, want to betaken seriously in communicatingTrump’s threat to democracy, inflationary tariff policies, and soon, we oweAmerican voters that seriousness, too.

By Bill Gertz - TheWashington Times -Monday,September 30, 2024
Defense analystsat the Pentagonassess the new Zhou-classattack submarine that sank near Wuhanis “a new class of nuclear submarine thatis similar in size to PLAN conventionally powered submarines, but with a small nuclearreactor,” a U.S. defenseofficial said, speakingonbackground.
その可能性はある
The new Zhou-class submarinewas confirmedby the Pentagonlast week afterone of theboatswas seen in satellite images partially submerged beside the pieras the result of an unknown mishap.
「partially submerged beside the pier」な衛星画像はない、存在するのは艀船の写った写真だけ
浅い長江で沈んだのなら艦影くらいは写ると思うし、あのでかいのを釣り上げるのは時間かかるからその画像があるはずだが、それがないのでずっと腑に落ちない
“As such, we do not know if the submarinereactorwas fueledatthe time of incident, or ifitis going to be relocated to a known nuclear-certified facility forits initial fueling, suchas Huludao shipyard, whichhas builtall previous PLA] navy nuclear submarine classes,” theofficial said.
後者はねえだろ
進水後にはるばる遼寧省まで運んで核燃料入れるとかは99.999％ねえだろ
本当にU.S. defenseofficialなの？
https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2024/10/chinas-sunken-nuclear-sub-was-likely-nothing-sort/400001/
By J. Michael Dahm and Peter W. Singer -October 2, 2024 02:04PMET
TheICBMtest reminds us of a similar media frenzy sparkedby a dubious claim earlier this year. InJanuary, Western media aired claimsby unnamed U.S.officials that corrupt PLA officers had filled their missiles with water.
The reporting seemed to be unaware that theChinese term灌水 (guànshuǐ), whichdoes mean “to pour water into” but also references unscrupulous butchers adding water to meat to increaseits weight and price, used metaphorically to refer to corruption.
Yes, the PLA Rocket Forcehas experienced a crisis of corruption. No, they do not fill their missiles with water to cover up that corruption.
そうなんよな
あのときも匿名の国防総省関係者が情報源で日本のメディアでも無批判で報道されたんだよね
「ミサイルに燃料ではなく水注入？ 汚職疑惑の中国ロケット軍 米報道」って
Thisstory also underlines a larger problem in Western media reportingonChina’s military in recent years: too often,it swingsbetweentwo extremes that portray the PLAas either comically inept or ten feet tall.
それなあ
わからん🤣
沈んだのは本当としてもほんとに原子力？
武昌造船所には渤海造船所にあるような核燃料保存施設が確認されてなくない？
でも通常動力型潜水艦に小型モジュール炉をディーゼルエンジンの代わりに積むとかいう話もあるし、だったら原子炉を他で作って持ってきたとかも？
前回と大して変わらないなあ

トランプがロシア人、ウクライナ人、ヨーロッパ人と会い、こう言う。
「おまえらは平和的な解決策がどうあるべきかを話し合う必要がある」と。
そして、それはおそらく現在のロシアとウクライナの境界線に近い形になるだろう。
それは非武装地帯のようになるだろう。
ウクライナは独立した主権を維持し、ロシアはウクライナから中立の保証を受ける。
Trump sits down, says to theRussians, to the Ukrainians, to the Europeans,you guysneed to figureout whata peaceful settlementlookslike.
Anditwill probablylook roughly the sameas the current dividinglinebetweenRussia andUkraine.
Itwill becomelike ademilitarized zone.
Itwill be strongly fortified so that theRussians do not invadeagain.
Ukraine retainsitsindependent sovereignty.
Russia receives a guarantee of neutrality fromUkraine,itdoes notjoinNATO,itdoes notjoinany allied institutions.

Once I had a quitecoldattitude to Nagasaki’sAtomicBomb Victims MemorialPeace Prayer Ceremony, Iwaslike “here comesanotherPeacerallyLMFAO”. But justlookat this, theambassador ofIsraelattacked Nagasaki’smayor fiercely saying “Themayor tookover the ceremony forhis ideology”, a bigwigat theSimon Wiesenthal Center said “the Nagasaki’satomicbomb ended WorldWar 2” andnow he’s criticizing the non-invitation ofIsrael’s rep to the ceremonyas “unethical”, andtop of that, theambassador of the US, theonewho dropped theatomicbomb,istalking nonsense, saying “ifIsraeldon’tjoin we alsodon’tjoinlol.” With hearingall these I’m so surprised of finding myself very much pissed off…areyouall makinglight off victims of such a cruel weaponyou sons of bitch?

Ihaven’t say enough to thereaction of reps of Western countries to Nagasaki.Whydon’tyou think twice before reacting impulsively?No doubtJapanisone ofthe most pro-Western countries inAsia, they supportUkrainemost earnestlyamong Non-NATO countries.Still even quiet andshyJapanese peopleis totally put offby military operations ofIsrael.Itis too easy to imagine howIsraelishated in non-pro-Western countries.

Perhapsmore extraordinaryis that Yasuke’sstorydoes not endhere. Retainedas anattendantby Nobunaga, he later accompaniedhim into battle against the rivallord Akechi Mitsuhide (1528? -1582)who upon defeating Nobunagaat Horyuji, spared the African and subsequently releasedhim.
(さらに驚くべきことに、弥助の話はここで終わりません。信長の従者として残された彼は、後に信長と共に、ライバルの大名(rivallord)である明智光秀（1528? -1582）との戦いに参加しました。光秀は法隆寺で信長を破った際、このアフリカ人の命を助け、その後解放しました。)

日本には大学教授や研究者を適切に評価するシステムが無いため、多くの人は下記のタイプと接する機会が多かった😭
あと、日本の平均賃金から見たら、大学教授や研究者の賃金は、べつに低いとは言えない。むしろ上位を占めている。
| 職業 | 年齢 | おおよそ の月収 | ボーナス 等 | おおよそ の年収 | 労働者数 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 航空機操縦士 | 43.1 | 138 | 123 | 1,779 | 4,970 |

| (男女合計)管理的職業従事者 | 50.2 | 47 | 522 | 1,086 | 6,720 |
| 大学教授（高専含む）★ | 58.0 | 66 | 275 | 1,067 | 59,530 |
| 法務従事者 | 49.9 | 68 | 176 | 992 | 21,150 |
| 大学准教授（高専含む）★ | 48.9 | 55 | 207 | 867 | 39,880 |
| 歯科医師★ | 40.5 | 60 | 42 | 762 | 15,090 |
| その他の経営・金融・保険専門職業従事者 | 39.3 | 46 | 156 | 708 | 16,000 |
| 大学講師・助教（高専含む）★ | 41.6 | 49 | 108 | 696 | 56,890 |
| 高等学校教員 | 43.1 | 43 | 163 | 679 | 69,200 |

| 電気・電子・電気通信技術者 （通信ネットワーク技術者を除く） | 41.8 | 41 | 154 | 646 | 285,830 |
そのため、賃金を上げろと言われても、日々の生活や老後のことを考える我々的には、『いや、十分な額でしょ。ナメとんのか？』となってしまい、
ほとんどの人は、大学教授や研究者の賃金を上げることに賛成しなかった
(つか、上記の状況を見続けて、おけおけ！上げとこ上げとこ👌なんて感情にはまずならんでしょ😒)
高学報酬による競争で全体の質を担保するのではなく、個人の情熱と能力と使命感と倫理観だけに全てお任せしてしまった結果、もう本当にどうしようもないことになった

そして、これもまさかの2024年の日本の大学教授（わざわざプロフィールで所属と身分を明かしている)の投稿である、うっへぇ～ありがてぇ～～～

いわゆる "坂上田村麻呂黒人説" や "AfricanSamurai:TheTrueStory of Yasuke, aLegendary Black Warrior in FeudalJapan" などは、
それに便乗する白人至上主義者によるアジア人の透明化と文化の盗用（ホワイトウォッシュしながらアフロセントリズムを押つけ、アジア人を透明化する糞ムーブ)、
上記に類するアクション（『日本人は怒ってない』とSNSでお気持ちを勝手に代弁するありがてぇ白人様たち）に対して懸念を持っています
これは、司馬遼太郎氏やカジュアルな歴史小説家の作品、あるいは娯楽時代劇のフィクションを真に受けるのとは、ほんのちょっとだけ毛色が違います。
"坂上田村麻呂黒人説" の言い出しっぺは、今から100年以上前、カナダの人類学者、Alexander Francis Chamberlain 氏です。
米国の非営利団体Internet Archive で原著を確認できると思うんですけど、
氏は『The Contribution oftheNegro toHumanCivilization』(1911年)という論文の中でこう書いてます。
484 ALEXANDER FRANCIS CHAMBERLAIN
[...]
And we cancrossthewhole ofAsia and findtheNegroagain, for, when, in far-offJapan,the ancestors ofthe modernJapanese were makingtheir way northwardagainstthe Ainu,the aborigines ofthat country.
（そして、我々はアジア全土を横断して再び黒人を見出すことができる。遠く離れた日本では、現代日本人の祖先がその国の先住民であるアイヌに対して北上を進めていた時に。）
THE CONTRIBUTION OFTHENEGRO 485
theleader oftheir armieswas Sakanouye Tamuramaro,
Fulltext of "The Contribution oftheNegro toHumanCivilization"
まぁこんなこんな感じで唐突に 『坂上田村麻呂 は黒人である』 と論文の中で言い出してるんですね。
そして、この論文の記述を全米黒人地位向上協会（NAACP) の設立者の一人である W・E・B・デュボイス氏 が、『TheNegro』（1915年）にもしたため、
As rulers and warriors we remember suchNegroesasQueen Nefertariand Amenhotep III among many others inEgypt; Candace and Ergamenes inEthiopia; MansaMusa, Sonni Ali, and MohammedAskai intheSudan; Diaz inBrazil, Toussaint L'Ouverture in Hayti, Hannivalov inRussia, Sakanouye Tamuramaro inJapan,the elder Dumas inFrance, Cazembe andChaka amongthe Bantu, and Menelik, of Abyssinia;the numberless blackleaders ofIndia, andthe mulatto strain of AlexanderHamilton.
(統治者や戦士としては、エジプトの多くの中でもネフェルタリ女王とアメンホテプ3世、エチオピアのカンダケとエルガメネス、スーダンのマンサ・ムーサ、ソンニ・アリ、モハメド・アスカイ、ブラジルのディアス、ハイチのトゥサン・ルヴェルチュール、ロシアのハンニバロフ、、フランスの父デュマ、バントゥ族のカゼンベとチャカ、アビシニアのメネリク2世などの黒人を思い出します。また、インドの無数の黒人指導者たち、そしてアレクサンダー・ハミルトンの混血の血筋も挙げられます。)
TheNegro
さらに後続の米国黒人公民権運動で活用されたり、歴史フィクションのアイデア元になった歴史があります。
そのため、一部の児童向けサイトや教師向けサイトでYASUKEと共に今も見掛けることが稀にあります。
日本人ならそんなことわざは無いこと知っていると思うんですけど、ググると色んなところで見掛けます
Why do Afro-centrists claimthatthe firstsamurai warriorwas a black African? | Quora
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Afro-centrists-claim-that-the-first-samurai-warrior-was-a-black-African
弥助(YASUKE)は、取得難易度が高い日本語を解する多言語話者の黒人の方で、しかも剛力で恵体、世が世なら・・・と言うとても優秀な方だったみたいです。
弥助はえらい人の覚えがめでたく、織田信長は彼を大変気に入って、連れて歩いていたようです。わざわざそのことが記録にも残っています。
頭が良くて体格もいいとかカッコイイし、本来であれば正当にその実力が報われて欲しかったし、彼がヒーローして描かれるフィクションが作られるのは共感できます。
というかフィクションであれば、もっとアフロサムライやキンバリーみたいな肌の色が濃い侍や忍者が増えて欲しいですね。
(最近のゲームではRise oftheRonin みたいに、主人公の人種を自由に設定できるオプションがデフォだけど)
ただ、史実では、さまざまなことが重なって、弥助は一般的に武士(侍)ではありませんでした。そもそも、有力武将や宣教師などでは無かった為、ほとんど記録には残っていません。
わずかに残される記録(ネットでも確認できる)からわかることは、下記くらいです。
『ゆうて、一部の歴史オタク が 弥助は武士(侍)って言ってるだけでしょ』『時代劇でもよくフィクション入るじゃん』って思うでしょ？🤔
それが、どういうわけか、YASUKE の英語版のWikipedia 見ると、日本のアカデミアのお墨付き貰ってるのとか、参考文献に引っ張ってきてるのよね。それも京都大学とかの
ZINBUN は査読付き学術誌と京大で紹介されてるんですけど、その中でこんな風に書かれてます。
Perhapsmore extraordinaryisthat Yasuke’sstorydoes not endhere. Retainedas anattendantby Nobunaga, he later accompaniedhim into battleagainstthe rivallord Akechi Mitsuhide (1528? -1582)who upon defeating Nobunagaat Horyuji, sparedthe African and subsequently releasedhim.
(さらに驚くべきことに、弥助の話はここで終わりません。信長の従者として残された彼は、後に信長と共に、ライバルの大名(rivallord)である明智光秀（1528? -1582）との戦いに参加しました。光秀は法隆寺で信長を破った際、このアフリカ人の命を助け、その後解放しました。)

Horyuji(法隆寺)かぁ。あと、さすが魔王ノッブ、1万を超えたとも言われる大軍勢を前に、自刃することなく弥助と共に立ち向かっちゃうぜ。諦めたらそこで試合終了だもんな(白目)
更にこれに加えて、日大の教授が、いろんなところで、弥助は日本で最も有名な外国生まれの武士(侍)となった、
弥助は本能寺にいて伝令の役割を担った、弥助の最後の使命は首を守ることだったとか、いろいろ言って回ってますからね

In aninterviewwith The Times, Sir Keirwas presented with a question posedby authorJK Rowlingon whether peoplewho are bornmale and have gone through a legaltransition process should be able to usefemale-onlyspaces.
Writingon X, formerlyTwitter, theHarry Potter author,whohas saidshe would “struggle to support” Labour if hedoes notchangehis stanceon trans rights, asked: “Do biologicalmales withgenderrecognition certificates have the right to enter women-onlyspaces?It’s asimpleyes/no question.”
Inresponse, Sir Keir said: “No. Theydon’t have that right. They shouldn’t. That’swhyI’vealways said biological women’sspacesneed to be protected.”
タイムズのインタビューで、スターマー氏は、J.K.ローリングによって提起された、男性として生まれ、法的な性別移行プロセスを経た人が女性専用のスペースを使用できるべきかどうかという質問を受けました。
「X」（旧Twitter）で、「ハリー・ポッター」シリーズの著者であり、もしスターマー氏がトランスジェンダーの権利に関する立場を変えなければ「労働党を支持するのに苦労する」と述べているローリングは、「性別認識証明書を持つ生物学的男性には、女性専用スペースに入る権利があるのか？これは単純なイエス／ノーの質問です」と問いかけました。
これに対し、スターマー氏は「いいえ、その権利はありません。あるべきではありません。だからこそ、私は常に生物学的女性のスペースを保護する必要があると言ってきました」と答えました。
It's sudden, but rightnow inJapan, creativityis facing atrue crisis. Characterslike Uzaki-chan,Onsen Musume, and Tojo Rika arebeing targeted and flamed, game characterdesigns arebeing infiltratedbypolitical correctness,Johnny'sEntertainmentisbeing dismantled, swimsuitphoto sessions in parks arebeing canceled, Hitoshi Matsumotoisbeing publicly shamed, and the newAV lawwas enacted without considering the opinions of those directly involved. Every form ofexpression in every venueis currently under unreasonablepressure.
Howdoes thisconnect to theTokyo gubernatorial election? Infact, amajor event directly linked to thisis occurring in the 2024Tokyo gubernatorial election.As acreator, Ihope thismessage reachesyou.
What Iam about toshareis astory aboutsomeone namedHimasoraAkane,whoyou should know about to resist suchpressures. But before Idive into thatstory, I want toexpress mydeep gratitude to my oldfriendNozomi for giving me the opportunity to post this article in a place where manycreatorswill seeit.Assomeonewho also loves manga,anime, and games, Ihope this informationwillbenefitJapanesesociety and supportNozomi'sactivities.
HimasoraAkane Should Be the Governor ofTokyo
First, I wouldlike tomake a straightforward request toyouas acreator: please supportHimasoraAkane for governor. In this election, pleasewrite "HimasoraAkane"onyour ballot. The voting dayisJuly 7th. Even ifyou are not aTokyo resident, Iask thatyouat least listen to thisstory. Ifyou findit interesting, pleaseshareitwith yourfriends, family,and acquaintances.You can checkHimasoraAkane's campaignpromises and thebackground of their candidacyon theirTwitter (X) posts linked below:
HimasoraAkane (Tokyo gubernatorial candidate)
https://x.com/himasoraakane/status/1804846779399324095
HimasoraAkaneWill NotAllow Our Culture to Be Burned
HimasoraAkaneis an ordinaryotakuwho loves manga,anime, and games. Knownas "CognitiveProfiling DetectiveAkaneHimasora," hehas beenactiveonTwitter (X) andYouTube, andnow heis running for governor.Akane,whoisdeeply concerned about the repression and destruction ofotaku culture,is challenging thosewho seek to destroy our culturealone.Akanewill neverallow thosewhotry to burn our culture.
As mentionedat thebeginning,all forms ofexpression are currentlyunder pressure.Otaku culture, in particular, seems to be aprime target.
Uzaki-chanBlood Donation Poster Controversy (2019): A collaborationbetween theJapaneseRedCrossSociety and the manga Uzaki-chanwas flamed forallegedlybeing overly sexual initsPR illustration.
V-Tuber Traffic Safety Video Controversy (2021): A V-Tuber hiredby the Matsudo Police Department in ChibaPrefecturewas deemed too sexual for public agencyPR.
Onsen Musume Controversy (2021): Characters personifying local hotsprings were criticizedas sexist.
MieTransportOfficial Character Controversy (2024): A character in a bus driver's uniform releasedbyMieTransportwas flamed for evoking sexual images.
These controversies are often fueledby so-calledpolitical correctness and feminism. Forcreators, these are direct threats. If thesefactions labelyour workas sexual and demandit be burned toashes, couldyou resist? How wouldyoufeel ifyour painstakingly created work,likeyour own child,was trampledby peoplewho have no regard foryour efforts? Couldyoucontinueyourcreativeactivities while constantly shrinkingaway?
HimasoraAkanesawsomething behind these flaming incidents. Hestarted investigating thekey figure behind theOnsen Musume controversy, a representative of a general incorporatedassociation inTokyo. Thisassociation'score business, theYoungFemale Victims SupportProject, received substantial public funds fromTokyo.Akane submitted public document disclosure requests toTokyo and thoroughly dug into theorganization. Duringhis investigation,Akane uncovered many suspicions suggesting thisprojectwas unworthy of public funding, which he exposedonebyoneon social media.
Negligent accounting reports, takingprotected girls to the Henokobaseprotest inOkinawa,Communist Party members waiting in the bus used toprotect girls—these revelations drew significantattentiononline. The investigation extendedbeyond this general incorporatedassociation to other NPOs receiving public funds,and Akane named thiscluster ofissues the "WBPCproblem" after the initials of theseorganizations.
Akane'sYouTube Channel (WBPCProblem Playlist)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI5gTciLKtAXRyzv9j5FiNMcc8eoEBbMN
Fromhere,Akane'sstory expanded to resident audits, resident lawsuits, andnational compensation lawsuits concerning theTokyoYoungFemale Victims SupportProject.Akane discovered that behind many flaming incidents, thereis no clearcommandstructure but agroup of various politicalorganizationsand activists workingtogetherlike anamoeba. He named thisgroup the "NanikaGroup" (Nanika means "something" inJapanese), a reference to the mysterious, ominous "something fromanother place" in the mangaHUNTER×HUNTER, whichAkaneloves. The NanikaGroupis alsoconnected to welfare interests, where public fundsflow unchecked.Akane called this phenomenon "Public Fund Chu-Chu" (siphoning).
Forcreators, this means the tax money they earn through hard workis used to burn theirprecious works.It's an intolerable situation.
HimasoraAkaneIs Fighting Against ThoseWho Burn Our Culture
InNovember 2022, amajor event marked a turningpoint in this series of controversies. The general incorporatedassociation under scrutiny held apress conferenceat the parliamentary officebuilding, gathering mediaand announcing a lawsuit againstAkane. This "Legal HarassmentPress Conference,"asitwas calledonline, involved multiple layers ofpower: the government, the media,and a team ofseven lawyers targeting a single individual.
However,Akanedid not back down. Instead, he intensifiedhis pursuit, exploiting the opponent's careless statementsas lawsuit fodder. Thisled to an outpouring of supporton social media, withhisTwitter follower count skyrocketing and 160 millionyen in donations for legal fees.
The following year, a resident audit request filedbyAkane resulted inTokyo'sofficial website recognizing some improperpoints and deciding to audit theorganization. However,Tokyo's lenient auditledAkane to file a resident lawsuit. Suspicion also turned towards Governor Yuriko Koike forallocating public funds through dubioussole-source contracts.Tokyo began excessivelyredacting documents inresponse to public document requests,attempting to conceal theissue. Koike'spromise to end documentredaction quietly disappeared fromher campaign page.
Throughout this battle,Akanehas been a target of criminal complaints and faced threats, yet he persists.Hisbook "Netoge Senshi"was releasedamidbookstore threats, butonly the criminal complaintwas widely reportedby the media, portrayingAkane negatively.
HimasoraAkaneis an ordinaryotaku, atop-tieronline gamer duringhisstudent days,and a talented gamecreatorwho worked for amajor game company and later aventure company.His meticulous workonthe game "Shin Goku no ValhallaGate"was betrayedby the company'sCEO, leading to aseven-year legal battle thatAkane ultimately won, securing 600 millionyen. This experience fuelshis fierce opposition to havinghis creations burned.
Before investigating theYoungFemale Victims SupportProject,Akane exposed fraudulent feminist "knights"onhisYouTube channel, shaking theinternet. He detests lies andhas an uncanny ability to detect them.
Akaneis a special individual with extraordinary abilities, honed throughhis experiences in games, courtbattles, and extensive document analysis.His pursuit oftruth andjusticemakeshim a suitable candidate for governor,promising a world without lies and where honest people do not suffer.
What WeCan Do toProtect Our Culture
Creativeexpression can be crushed if we are not vigilant. Even in modernJapan,otaku cultureison thinice. The recent cessation ofVisa transactions forDMM (Fanza)is a reminder of how a single card company can wielditspower to dictate whatis deemed appropriateexpression.Expressionfreedomisfragile and constantly under threat.
To those reading this, I urgeyou to vote forHimasoraAkane. Supporthim toprotect our culture. Despitehis harsh demeanor andpreference forsolitarybattles, heisnow seeking help for the firsttime.Akanefeels thedanger in this gubernatorial election and believes that if hedoes not become governor,everythingwill end. Hehastaken a stand for the people ofTokyo andJapan.
I wrote this article to supporthisspirit and spread theword. Please vote forHimasoraAkane and help create amiracle.
報告書の要約としては報じるには不十分で、メディア企業への言及の報道が欠如しています。
「国連人権理事会ジャニー氏性加害問題など日本調査の結果報告 |NHK |ジャニー喜多川氏 性加害問題」
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20240627/k10014493431000.html
2024年6月の国連人権理事会の報告書には「「放送局、新聞社、広告大手などの主要企業は、性的虐待を防止することによって人権を尊重する責任を果たしていない」と
さらに、理事会の会合ではジャニーズ問題の性被害者は90秒のビデオメッセージで、報告書は「メディア業界」に「はびこる性的虐待を強調している」と述べています。
また、「日本のメディア企業は何十年もの間、このような不祥事の隠ぺいに関与してきた。」とも報告書にあります。
それに加え、放送局における女性記者への性的虐待問題が報告書に含まれています。
しかし、日本のメディア企業は国連の報告を報道をしていません。
ジャニーズ問題を取り上げた一方で、放送局内での性加害問題を取り上げないのは意図的で、自社を含むメディア企業の腐敗を隠ぺいしていると言わざるを得ません。
上の記事での、国連人権理事会の結果報告は以下のURLのページにpdf形式で掲載されています。
※このダイアリーの英語での引用は以下の報告書より。鍵かっこの翻訳はDeepLなどを使い確認しました。
「Visit toJapan - Report of the WorkingGroupon the issue ofhuman rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises」
https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/regular-sessions/session56/list-reports
また、NHKの記事には「ジャニー喜多川氏からの性被害を告発した二本樹顕理さんのビデオメッセージ」の動画はありません。
動画は以下のURLの26：10～です。英語での発言で英語字幕のみです。※動画の更新により時点が変更されているかもしれません
ビデオメッセージを取り上げたほどですから、今回の国連人権理事会において二本樹顕理さんの訴える内容は極めて重要でしょう。
https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1t/k1t17c19b5
二本樹顕理さんのビデオメッセージでは以下のようにメディア業界における性的虐待問題に言及していますが、NHKの記事には記載がありません。
前掲の動画、26:34辺りです。
「報告書は、メディアやエンターテインメント業界にはびこる性的虐待を強調している。」
The reports highlights sexual abuse prevailing in the media and theentertainment industry.
放送局(broadcasting)における性的虐待被害も報告書の段落74で言及されています。
しかし、NHKを含む大手新聞社の記事はジャニーズ問題が主で、この件については触れられていません。
日本の大手新聞社はメディア・コングロマリットなので、グループ企業における性加害を隠蔽しているという国連の指摘を報道できなかったということになるでしょう。
例えば、日経ビジネスは日本アニメの労働詐取についての記事を書きました。
しかし、日経新聞を含むだろう大手新聞社が「人権を尊重する責任を果たしていない」という国連の指摘は書きませんでした。
「ワーキンググループは、女性記者に対するセクハラや性的虐待被害の報告と、放送局による改善措置の欠如について報告を受けました。
放送局は、被害者に対し、せいぜい休職させるか、別の部署に異動させるか、医師に相談するよう助言する程度でした。」
The WorkingGroupwas informed about the sexual harassmentand abuse offemale journalists and the lack of remedialactiontakenbybroadcasting stations, which,at best, send themon leave, transfer them toanother department or advise them to consult a doctor.
「放送局、新聞社、広告大手などの主要企業は、性的虐待を防止することによって人権を尊重する責任を果たしていません。
彼らは、ビジネス上の関係を活用して人権のリスクに対処しています。」
Key businesses, suchasbroadcasting stations, publishing companiesand advertising giants, are failing to uphold their responsibility torespecthuman rightsby preventing sexual abuse and using leverage in their business relationships toaddresshuman rights risks.
メディア企業、特に「SMILE-UP.」の見解を報じているNHKは以上の報告に関して「放送局、出版社、広告大手などの主要企業」からコメントを取るべきでした。
ジャニー喜多川の性加害は本人がいなくなるまで噂、過去のこととしか認識されていませんでした。
ジャニーズ問題で生じた失態をくり返さないためにも、徹底した調査報道をすべきです。
ジャニー喜多川の性加害問題を取り上げた段落75では以下のようにメディア企業が言及されています。
②・③の報告を組み合わせて読むと、国連人権理事会は日本のメディア企業が業界における性加害事件を積極的にもみ消してきたと指摘していると読めます。
「ワーキンググループのミッション・ステートメントの最後にあるように、日本のメディア企業は何十年もの間、このような不祥事の隠ぺいに関与してきた。」
As noted in the WorkingGroup’s end ofmissionstatement, media companies inJapan have been implicated in covering up such scandals for decades.
本当にNHKは以前ジャニーズ問題にコメントしたように「放送業界で人権尊重の考えがより浸透するよう」に「徹底」して取り組んでいるのでしょうか？
この指摘はもちろん、人権尊重や人権侵害の防止に臨むとした民間メディアにも当てはまります。
「ジャニーズ事務所会見受けてNHKがコメント発表 |NHK |ジャニー喜多川氏 性加害問題」
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20230907/k10014187051000.html
「ジャニーズ性加害問題でテレビ各局コメント 特別チームの提言受けて：朝日新聞デジタル」
https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASR8Z5DVCR8ZUCVL00H.html
このNHKの記事は報告書での上の指摘を取りあげておらず、NHKを含む各メディア企業のコメントも掲載していません。
NHKを含むメディア企業はジャニーズ問題から何を学んだのでしょうか？
まさに国連人権理事会の報告書においてメディア企業によるジャニーズ問題の隠ぺいを批判されているのに、それをメディア企業が報じないのなら何も変わっていないのではないでしょうか。
むしろ、①・②の指摘を合わせると、テレビ業界の重役に"生きた"ジャニー喜多川のような人物がいるのではないかとすら思わせます。
くり返しますが、NHKの記事はメディア企業の報道として、不十分です。
NHKはジャニーズ問題を受けて、「放送業界で人権尊重の考えがより浸透するよう」に「徹底」して取り組むとしました。
NHKは国連人権理事会でジャニーズ問題が取り上げられていることを報道ました。
しかし、メディア企業がジャニーズ問題の隠蔽に関与してきたという指摘・放送局における性的虐待被害の報道をしませんでした。
主要な民間メディア企業のネット上での報道でもほぼNHKと同様でした。
今回の国連人権理事会による日本の放送局での性的虐待問題の報告に言及した報道はありません。
国連人権理事会日本の他にも20か国以上訪問しており、各国のテーマは様々です。（ポーランドは女性・少女に対する暴力の問題、フィンランドは教育など）
訪問期間や違い、日本2023年7月24日～8月4日までに対し、アメリカは2日間のみです。
訪問先での会談も日本は政府系の代表の数々・複数の企業・団体連盟・市民団体・海外実習生など、アメリカは連邦政府、州政府、市政府の高官や関係者です。
日本で会談が行われた政府系の代表・企業名・団体連盟の名前や詳細は報告書で見ることができます。
ちなみに同じところには以下のPDFものもありますが、これは日本政府によるコメントです。
主にアイヌ民族への差別・海外実習生制度・福島原子力発電所での労働者の人権侵害などへコメント（反論）しています。
「visit toJapan - Commentsby theState」
https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/regular-sessions/session56/list-reports
各国の報告書の要約を読むと、雰囲気が全然違って興味深いです。というのも報告者が1人か2人と少数でやってるいるようだから。
フィンランド ーフィンランドの教育ってエクセレントだよね。世界一。けどちょっと高齢化とか心配なとこもありますね。
日本 ー 頑張って進歩してるようだけど課題もあります。職場での差別が特にひどく、マイノリティへの差別、女性・LGBTQ・障碍者・部落差別など心配です。
アメリカー今が岐路です。ヘイトスピーチ・外国人排斥に緊急に(argent)対処することが極めて重要です。
中でもアメリカは指摘が段違いで目次に"GunViolence"があるのはすごい(よくない)。
日本は要約では優しめだけど、詳細読むと辛辣だったりします。以下は報告書の段落20です。
「実際、法務省人権局は人権侵害の申し立てを調査することができるが、この機能は国家人権機関としての役割を果たしていない。」
Indeed, although theHuman Rights Bureau of the Ministry ofJustice can investigate allegations ofhuman rights violations, this functiondoes not fulfil the role of anationalhuman rights institution.
一方で、国連人権理事会の報告書は市民団体として訴えるのが難しいような問題については指摘が甘いように見えます。
日本の報告書では内部告発(whistle-blowing)がそれにあたります。内部告発者への報復問題の指摘はありません。
報告書を読む限りでは、内部告発者が集まり、団体を作るのは難しいというところまで認識できていないように思います。
ざっと読んだところ、氷河期世代についても言及もないようです。
氷河期世代については海外研究者の英語論文もあり、就職における年齢差別、女性差別が指摘されていますし、国内問題として十分に救済されているとは到底思えません。
あくまで国連人権理事会から2人が12日間訪問して各団体と会談をした結果の報告書で、むしろこの報告を受けたメディアの地道な報道が必須でしょう。
