プラグマティズムの哲学的伝統は、19世紀後半のアメリカを起源とし、チャールズ・サンダース・パース(1839-1914)とウィリアム・ジェームズ(1842-1910)によってその基礎が築かれた。両者は「プラグマティズム」という用語を共有しながらも、その方法論的アプローチ、真理概念の解釈、形而上学への姿勢において顕著な差異を示す[1][3]。本報告では、スタンフォード哲学百科事典を中心とした学術的資料に基づき、両者の思想体系を体系的に比較分析する。特にプラグマティック・マキシム(実践主義的格率)の解釈相違、真理理論の対照性、科学的探求と宗教的信念への適用方法の違いに焦点を当て、現代哲学におけるプラグマティズムの多様な展開を理解する基盤を提供する。
パースとジェームズのプラグマティズムは、1870年代にハーバード大学を中心に活動した「メタフィジカル・クラブ」での議論を起源とする[1]。この学際的集団には哲学者、心理学者、法律家が参加し、科学的探求の方法論と伝統的形而上学の再検討が行われた。当時の進化論を中心とした科学的革命が思想的背景に存在し、パースとジェームズはこの知的環境の中でプラグマティズムの核心的概念を発展させた[1][3]。
パースはこの時期に「プラグマティック・マキシム」を定式化し、概念の意味をその実践的帰結に基づいて明確化する方法論を提案した。これに対しジェームズは、パースの論理的厳密性をより広範な人間的関心へ拡張し、宗教的信念や道徳的価値の問題に適用する方向性を示した[1][2]。
パースのアプローチは本質的に科学的探求の論理学として位置付けられる。彼が1878年の論文「How toMake OurIdeas Clear」で提示したプラグマティック・マキシムは、概念的明晰性の第三段階として機能する。具体的には、ある概念の対象がもたらし得る実践的効果を考慮することで、その概念の意味を確定する方法論である[1][3]。例えば「硬さ」の概念は、他の物質に引っかかれないという実験的帰結を通じて定義される。パースはこの格率を伝統的論理学における「明晰判明な観念」の区別を超克する手段と位置付け、形而上学的議論の空虚性を暴く批判的ツールとして活用した[1]。
ジェームズはパースの方法論を受け継ぎつつ、その適用範囲を拡張した。1907年の『プラグマティズム』講義で提示されたアプローチは、哲学的論争を解決する「仲介者」としての機能を強調する[2]。例えば「リスを追いかける人がリスを周回するか」という思考実験では、「周回」の実践的意味を状況に応じて解釈し、論争の不毛さを明示した[1][2]。ジェームズの関心は科学的真理の探求に留まらず、宗教的経験や道徳的価値の領域にまで及んだ。これは彼が「事実への科学的忠誠」と「人間的価値への信頼」を調和させる哲学を求めたことに起因する[2]。
パースのプラグマティック・マキシムは、科学的探求の論理的基盤を確立することを目的とした。彼はこれを「実験室哲学」と形容し、仮説の検証プロセスにおける実験的帰結の予測可能性を重視した[1]。例えば「現実(reality)」の概念は、探求共同体の長期的な合意形成プロセスを通じて構成されると解釈された。この立場は「真理の合意説」へと発展し、科学的方法の客観性を保証する基盤となった[1][3]。
パースの格率解釈の特徴は、概念的意味の「第三の明晰性」を追求する点にある。伝統的論理学が語義的定義(第二の明晰性)に留まるのに対し、パースは概念の実践的運用文脈を分析することで、形而上学的議論の無意味性を暴露する批判的ツールを提供した[1]。例えば「自由意志と決定論」の論争は、両立場の実践的帰結が同一である場合、純粋に言語的な問題に還元されると指摘した[1]。
ジェームズのマキシム解釈は、人間的経験の多様性を包摂する柔軟性を特徴とする。彼はパースの科学的厳密性を保持しつつ、真理を「有用な道具」として再定義した[2]。この立場では、信念の真理性はその実践的有用性によって測定され、宗教的信念のような非科学的領域にも適用可能性が拡張される。ジェームズは『プラグマティズム』において「真理は善の一種である」と述べ、真理性を将来的な経験における予測的成功可能性と関連付けた[2]。
この差異は、両者の真理理論における対照性に明確に表れる。パースが長期的な科学共同体の合意形成を真理の基準とするのに対し、ジェームズは個人的・社会的有用性を重視する[1][2]。ジェームズのアプローチは「真理は作られる(made)」という表現に凝縮され、人間の目的や価値観が真理構成に参与することを認める[2]。
パースの真理理論は「探究の終極的な意見(ultimate opinion)」概念に基づく。彼にとって真理とは、理想的な探求状況において科学的共同体が到達する不可避的な合意を指す[1][3]。この立場は反基礎付け主義的認識論と結びつき、真理を動的な探究プロセスの帰結として位置付ける。パースはこの考え方を「現実主義(realism)」と関連付け、人間の認識から独立した客観的現実の存在を仮定した[1]。
この観点からパースは、ジェームズの真理概念を「過度に主観的」と批判した。特に宗教的信念の真理性を有用性に基づいて認めるジェームズの姿勢は、真理の客観性を損なう危険性を含むと指摘された[1][3]。パース自身は後に自説を「プラグマティシズム」と改称し、ジェームズ流の解釈との距離を明確にした[1]。
ジェームズの真理理論は「真理の道具説(instrumentalism)」として特徴付けられる。彼は『プラグマティズム』で「真理は発生する(happens to anidea)」と述べ、信念の真理性をその実践的有用性と将来的な検証可能性に結び付けた[2]。この立場では、真理は静的対応関係ではなく、動的な経験の流れの中で機能する信念の性質として理解される。
ジェームズの真理概念は多元主義的側面を有し、科学的真理と宗教的真理が異なる文脈で有効性を持つ可能性を認める[2]。例えば「神の仮説」は、それが人間の生活的経験に有意義な影響を与える限りにおいて真理と見なされる[2]。この柔軟性はパースの客観主義的立場との根本的な相違点であり、プラグマティズム内部の思想的緊張を生み出した[1][3]。
パースの形而上学は、科学的探求の対象としての「現実(reality)」概念を中核に据える。彼は現実を「探求の最終的に決定されるもの」と定義し、人間の認識から独立した客観的秩序の存在を仮定した[1][3]。この立場は、彼の記号論(semiotics)と結びつき、現実を記号解釈プロセスの産物として動的に捉える視点を含む。
パースの現実概念は、伝統的経験論の受動的認識モデルを超克する。彼は「アブダクション(仮説形成)」のプロセスを重視し、科学的発見の論理学を構築しようとした[1]。この過程で、現実は単なる感覚所与ではなく、探求共同体の解釈的実践を通じて構成される動的概念として再定義された[1][3]。
ジェームズの形而上学は「純粋経験の形而上学」として知られる。『徹底的経験論』(1912)で展開されたこの立場では、心と物質を「純粋経験」の異なる編成様式として再解釈する[2]。ジェームズは現実を固定的実体ではなく、経験の連続的流動として捉え、プラグマティズムを「未完成の現実」を認めるプロセス哲学として位置付けた[2]。
この経験論的立場は、ジェームズの真理理論と密接に連関する。彼は「現実は作り続けられている(still in the making)」と述べ、人間の目的的活動が現実構成に参与することを強調した[2]。この観点から、パースの科学的現実主義は「完成された現実」を前提とする合理主義的立場として批判された[2]。
パースのプラグマティズムは本質的に科学的方法の哲学的分析として発展した。彼の「アブダクション-演繹-帰納」の三段階論は、仮説形成の論理学を体系化しようとする試みである[1][3]。科学的真理の基準としての共同体合意の重視は、個人の主観性を超えた客観性保証のメカニズムとして機能する。
宗教的信念に対するパースの姿勢は懐疑的であり、科学的探求の方法論と整合しない教義を批判した[1]。ただし彼は後年、「宗教的関心」を科学的探求の動機付けとして位置付ける独自の「宗教的実感論」を展開した[1][3]。
ジェームズは『宗教的経験の諸相』(1902)で、プラグマティズムを宗教的信念の検証に適用した。彼は「神の仮説」の真理性を、それが個人の生活にもたらす実践的効果に基づいて判断する立場を採用した[2]。このアプローチは、超越的神観念を批判しつつ、宗教的経験の心理学的現実性を認める点に特徴がある。
科学的探求に対するジェームズの姿勢は、パースの厳密性よりも人間的価値の統合を重視する。彼は科学と宗教を対立軸ではなく、異なる人間的欲求に応える補完的システムとして位置付けた[2]。この立場は、パースの科学主義的傾向との明確な対照点となる[1][3]。
パースとジェームズのプラグマティズムは、共通の方法論的出発点を持ちながら、その哲学的展開において決定的な分岐を示す。パースが科学的探求の論理的基盤と客観的真理概念を堅持したのに対し、ジェームズは人間的経験の多様性と真理の道具的性質を強調した。この相違は、真理理論・現実認識・宗教的信念への適用方法に体系的な差異をもたらした。
現代哲学におけるプラグマティズムの復興は、この思想的多元性を再評価する動向を示している。パースの科学的厳密性とジェームズの人間中心的柔軟性は、現代の認識論・形而上学・価値論の課題に対し、補完的洞察を提供し得る。今後の研究課題として、両者の思想を統合する新たなプラグマティズムの可能性、および非西洋哲学伝統との対話を通じた発展が考えられる。

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:

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.

Reasoned about non-humanintelligence and the Drake Equationを19 秒行う
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.

表現が回りくどいという批判に対して京都人もイギリス人も「控えめ(understatement)」なだけだと同じように反論しているのが面白い。
ただ控えめな表現も状況によっては大変な問題を引き起こすので程々にしないといけない。
最後のフレーズは朝鮮戦争のイムジン河の戦いで実際に使われたと言われている(ただの都市伝説の可能性もある)。圧倒的な敵兵力を相手に撤退すら困難な状況にも関わらず、司令部のアメリカ人将軍が戦況を尋ねた際にイギリス人准将は「少々厄介な状況であります」と答えてしまった。将軍はまだ持ちこたえられると判断し、援軍を送らなかった。結果、大敗し、部隊約650人中戦闘中の死亡者56人、捕虜522人(うち負傷者180人、後に34人死亡)、撤退できたのはわずか39人という惨事になったという。(尚、この時の敵である中国軍の損害は1万とも言われており、イギリス側の比ではなかったようだ。)

・Behavioral interventions. Ihaven’t much mentionedit given thefocuson the biological side of neuroscience, but psychiatry and psychology have of course developed a wide repertoire of behavioral interventionsover the20th century;it stands toreason thatAI could accelerate theseas well, both the development of new methods and helping patients to adhere to existing methods.Morebroadly, theidea of an “AIcoach”whoalways helpsyou to be the bestversion ofyourself,who studiesyour interactions and helpsyou learn to bemore effective, seems very promising.
(Google翻訳)
・行動介入。神経科学の生物学的側面に焦点が当てられているため、これについてはあまり触れていませんが、精神医学と心理学は、もちろん20 世紀を通じて行動介入の幅広いレパートリーを開発してきました。AI が、新しい方法の開発と、患者が既存の方法に従うのを支援することの両方で、これらを加速させる可能性もあるのは当然です。より広い意味では、常に最高の自分になれるよう支援し、あなたのやり取りを研究して、より効果的になる方法を学ぶのを手助けしてくれる「AIコーチ」というアイデアは、非常に有望に思えます。
・Everyday problems that wedon’t think ofas clinical diseasewill also be solved.Most of us have everyday psychological problems that are not ordinarily thought ofas rising to thelevel of clinical disease. Some people are quick to anger, others have troublefocusing or are often drowsy, some are fearful or anxious, or react badly tochange.Today, drugs already exist to help with e.g. alertness orfocus (caffeine, modafinil, ritalin) butas with many other previous areas, muchmoreis likely to be possible. Probably manymore such drugs exist and have not been discovered, and theremay also be totally new modalities of intervention, suchas targetedlight stimulation (see optogenetics above) ormagneticfields. Given how many drugs we’ve developed in the20th century that tune cognitive function and emotionalstate, I’m very optimistic about the “compressed 21st” where everyone canget theirbrain to behave abit better and have amore fulfilling day-to-day experience.

・臨床疾患とは考えていない日常的な問題も解決されるでしょう。私たちのほとんどは、通常は臨床疾患のレベルに達するとは考えられないような日常的な心理的問題を抱えています。怒りっぽい人もいれば、集中力に欠けたり眠気を催すことが多い人もいれば、恐れや不安を感じたり、変化に反応しにくい人もいます。今日、覚醒や集中力を高める薬(カフェイン、モダフィニル、リタリン)はすでに存在していますが、他の多くの以前の分野と同様に、さらに多くの薬が開発される可能性があります。おそらく、そのような薬はもっとたくさん存在し、発見されていないでしょう。また、標的を絞った光刺激(上記のオプトジェネティクスを参照)や磁場など、まったく新しい介入方法もあるかもしれません。20世紀に認知機能と感情状態を調整する薬がどれだけ開発されたかを考えると、誰もが脳の働きを少し良くし、より充実した日々を送れるようになる「圧縮された21世紀」について私は非常に楽観的です。
・Human baseline experience can be much better. Takingonestep further, many people have experienced extraordinarymoments of revelation,creativeinspiration, compassion, fulfillment, transcendence,love, beauty, or meditativepeace. The character and frequency of these experiences differs greatly from person to person and within the same personat different times, and can also sometimes be triggeredby various drugs (though often with side effects).All of this suggests that the “space of whatis possible to experience”is verybroad and that a larger fraction of people’s lives could consist of these extraordinarymoments.Itis probably also possible toimprove various cognitive functions across the board. Thisis perhaps the neuroscienceversion of “biologicalfreedom” or “extended lifespans”.
(Google翻訳)
・人間の基本的な経験は、もっと良くなる可能性があります。さらに一歩進むと、多くの人が啓示、創造的なインスピレーション、思いやり、達成感、超越、愛、美しさ、瞑想的な平和といった特別な瞬間を経験しています。これらの経験の性質と頻度は、人によって大きく異なり、同じ人でも時期によって異なり、さまざまな薬物によって引き起こされることもあります(ただし、多くの場合は副作用があります)。これらすべては、「経験可能な空間」が非常に広く、人々の人生の大部分がこれらの特別な瞬間で構成されている可能性があることを示唆しています。さまざまな認知機能を全面的に改善することもおそらく可能です。これはおそらく、神経科学版の「生物学的自由」または「寿命の延長」です。
発達障害持ちでスペックが低い上、達成感とかの青春な感情を体験できなかった自分からすると夢のようだが、同時にこういうのを人工的に作れて皆良い人間になれるのってなんか怖くもあるな

A longtime ago, in a certain country, therewas a bastardnamed Cinderella.The reasonwhysheis called Cinderellais becauseshe sprinkledher ownashesonher own headathermother'sfuneral, whichled toherbeing called theash-coverer, whichiswhyher realnameis Cinderella. Ilost
The husbandwholosthis wifewas also a bastard, and the day after thefuneral he cheatedon awoman three yearsyounger thanhim, hadsex withher, and evengot married.
I have decided. Then, toher Cinderella
Shenowhas an oldersisterand ayoungersisterwho are not relatedbyblood.
Hersisterwas a bitch too,she came to Cinderella'shouse
After a fewdays,she thought, ``Wouldn'tit bemore convenient to have an outbuilding?'' and cut down Cinderella'smother's grave inhergarden and the hundreds of years oldtree thatwasnext toher grave, and built an outbuilding. We forced construction.
One day, the bastard's family receivesnews of a ball from the castle. But before Cinderella could readit,hersisterbroke thenews and said, ``There's no wayyou cango.'' Cinderella didn't seem to haveany intention ofgoing either, saying, ``I had no intention ofgoing in the first place.I'd rathergo tohell.''
Then,on the dayhermotherwas admitted to the hospital to givebirth,hersister went to the ball. In thegarden, the construction of an outbuildingwas progressingas usual.
“Let’slight afirehere andmake a bonfire.”
She thought about that, but Cinderella stoppedher. Suddenly, awitch appeared
``Cinderella,why aren'tyougoing to the ball?''asked thewitch.
"What's thepoint of telling Teme?"
Cinderella returned with anax inher hand
Then, for somereason, Cinderellawas wrapped in ajewel-likedress.
"Ifyoudon'tgo to the ball, thatdresswill killyou.Nowgo."
Cinderella doesn't want to die in a placelike this, soshe reluctantly decides togoto the castle.
In the castle, someassholelikehersisterwas looking for aone-night stand andwas dancing wildly. Noone really praised others, and in theirhearts theyall seemed to think that they were the center ofthe world.
Cinderella didn't dance, but killedhertimeby smoking a cigaretteat the end ofher room. There,shewas approachedby aman wearing formal clothes that were flashier andmore expensive thananyone else, and said toher, ``Miss, won'tyou dance?''
Sheis Cinderella with a cigarette inher mouth
She said, ``Ionly dancewith the GrimReaper and bad luck.''
she answered. For somereason, theman fell inlove withherat first sight, andshe said, ``Let's have somefun in the other room.Here, come.''She tried to force Cinderella totakeher toanother room in the castle. However, Cinderella pressed the cigaretteshewas holding intoher hand.
"Her hand slipped,"she laughed.
Whenshe pressed the cigarette, the sound inhervoicewas so pitiful that noone tried toget close tohim or dance withhim. Of course, noone even knows that such a pitifulmanis theprincewho owns this castle.
Eventually,she had enough, Cinderella threwhershoesonher stairs and went back toherhouse inher bare feet.Hershoes weremade of glass, so they shattered intopieces.
Thenext day, whileher servantwas cleaning the castle,shefoundone shoeon the stairs. Obviously thinking thiswas strange,she secretly examinedhershoes and discovered that they had been smeared with a deadly amount ofpoison.
Rumors spread within the castle that this must be anattempt to kill theprince, and soon a large-scale investigationwas conducted. Even thoughit's a survey,it'ssimple.
Theideawas to create a replica of a shoe and imprison the personwho matchedit perfectlyas a suspect.
Andone afteranother, people were imprisoned just because of their size. Some of them had not been to the ball, but they thoughtit must be alie and were forciblytakenaway.
Eventually, an investigation came to Cinderella'shouse. That's when weall lookedathermother and child aftershewas discharged from the hospital, and of coursehersister didn'tfit.
Soall thatwas leftwas Cinderella. Then,hersister said to Cinderella, ``Hell suitsyou better than this world.''
Shewas of course the perfect size for Cinderella.
However,she protestedherinnocence, saying that I hadn'tgone to the ball and therewas nodressanywhere inthe house to proveit.
However, theprince showedhim anempty pack of cigarettes that had been discarded in a trash can and said, ``Thisis the samebrand that the criminalwas smoking thattime.Why?''
I unbuttonedall the buttonsonher jacket.
She said, ``Afterall, Ifeellike dancingwith the GrimReaper. Right,littleprince?''she said.
Bythe time theprinces realizedit,itwas already too late.
Thegrenade that fellathis feet blew up Cinderella and theprince.
The timewas aroundnoon. Bells rang throughoutthe city and residents prayed forlunch.
The flyingfragments of the shoe became a weapon, asad fragment that couldonly hurtsomeone, and noone could imagineitsoriginal form.

id:manatenYoutubeは広告で利益上げて持続してるビジネスなんだから、広告嫌ならpremiumになるか見るなって思っちゃうんだよな。ビジネス持続の対価を支払わずに利益だけ受け取るのは万引きと一緒やん
id:minaminoani どうもこのGAFAみたいな巨大企業が相手なんだから金払わずに済ましてやろうというのは気に食わない。そんなに広告が嫌ならプレミアム会員になればいいじゃない。
id:bilanciaaタイミング考えろとかで広告ブロックは正当化できるものじゃないと思う。卑しいな
id:kagoyax 他社のサービスの広告引き剥がして金儲けってどう考えても倫理的にアウトだしこれまで放置されていたのがおかしい。Googleいわく規約違反だから何人かアカウントBANしてみせしめ的に取り締まったら効果絶大だろうな
id:hyperpeppy広告を見たくないならブロックするんじゃなくて「サイトを見るのを諦める」が正しい行動だろ。お店にお金を払いたくないからって商品を盗むのか?
id:shimmering ズルしてる側があたかも正当に書かれているの訳わからんな、これはGigazineが悪い
id:letitbomb78 なぜYouTubeだけは無料で見られるのが当然だと思ってるの?他の動画プラットフォームでも大抵月額制でしょ。広告がどれだけ不愉快でも見れるだけマシだと思わないのか。
id:Meleonicフリーライダーがイキんなと
id:njgj正式に広告を消す手段(有料化)があるし、広告が著しい不利益をもたらすわけでもないのだから、フリーライドしようとしちゃそらダメでしょ、としか…。
id:pwatermark いや、広告ブロックするくらいなら見るなよ
id:lejay4405 いや広告嫌なら金払えよ。消せる手段があるのに使わないで文句言ってるのマジで謎
id:ao-no広告ブロック入れるほどYoutube見てるのに有料プラン入ろうとしないのは普通に盗人猛々しいというか、いびつ。よっぽど貧乏ならともかくそうじゃないんでしょ?
id:diesisそもそも最低限の線引したら広告の質なんてこだわらなくていい。不満なら金を払ってプレミアムになるか、立ち去れ。 /ネット草創期の何でもタダな空気をいつまで引きずってんのクソジジイども。
id:daij1nそもそも広告で成り立っているビジネスなので、それを迂回して見る行為は窃盗と同じ。
id:koishi この店には金額に見合った価値はないから盗むのも仕方ないし、窃盗出来ないように対策するなんてひどい!…って君ら正気か?
id:pj_lim 金は1円も払わない。広告ブロック対策には文句言う。ガキが言ってるならまだしも一端の大人が言ってるから普通に引く。正気の沙汰じゃないってブコメあるけどオメーもだよ。
id:zzzbbb広告ブロックって、必要経費を払ってないってことだからね。税金払ってないのと一緒。さすがに間違ってるとは思う。
id:a_ako広告をブロックする、お金も払わない、という人は、クリエイターの制作コストやYouTubeのサーバー代を何と思ってるのかな。霞でも食べて生きてると?
id:kamei_rio広告は嫌いだけど対価も出さずブロックするのはシンプルに不正じゃないの。ブロックしてる方々の分を肩代わりさせられるし正直どうかと思う
これらの意見は私の見解とは異なる。広告ブロックはフリーライドではないし、ましてや万引きでもズルでもない。
コンテンツブロックを推進する側の意見としては主に以下の2つに大別される。
私は1.の意見である。これはプライバシーと自己決定権の問題である。
そもそも広告を配信する自由が与えられているように、広告を見ない自由も与えられている。

uBOis NOT an "ad blocker";itis a wide-spectrum content blocker. (中略)
Itis important tonote that using a blockeris NOTtheft. Do not fall for this creepyidea. The ultimate logicalconsequence of blocking =theftis the criminalization of the inalienable right toprivacy.
Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portion of theprivacy-invading means enteringyourbrowser whenyou visitmost sites. uBO'sprimary goalis to help users neutralize theseprivacy-invading methods in a way that welcomes those userswho do notwish to usemore technical, involved means (suchas uMatrix).
(日訳)
uBOは「広告ブロッカー」ではなく、広範なコンテンツブロッカーです。(中略)
ブロッカーの使用は窃盗ではないことに注意してください。この不気味な考えに騙されてはならない。ブロッキング=窃盗の究極の論理的帰結は、プライバシーに対する不可侵の権利の犯罪化である。
uBOの主な目標は、より技術的で複雑な手段(uMatrixなど)を使いたくないユーザーを歓迎する方法で、ユーザーがこれらのプライバシー侵害手段を無効にできるようにすることです。
よくある質問 · Yuki2718/adblock2 Wiki · GitHub
違法ではありませんし、まともな法治国家においては今後も違法になる可能性はまずないでしょう。ドイツでは6度の訴訟においてすべて広告ブロック側有利の判決が出ました。
ウェブ標準化団体のW3Cは、ユーザーは拡張機能やブロッカーをインストールして、望まないコンテンツをブロックできなければならない、それが倫理的な面でウェブのあるべき姿だと明言しています。プライバシー気運の強いEUにおいては、アンチ広告ブロックのほうが違法にされかけたこともあります。
私たちは見たいものを見る権利がある。強制的に配信されるコンテンツを見ない自由がある。広告を見たいと思ってコンテンツをクリックしているわけではない。私たちは広告と引き換えにコンテンツを見ているのではない。広告は私たちにとって商品ではない。
テレビのCM中に立って家事をするのも、テレビのCMをスキップするのも、テレビのCM中に勝手にテレビが消えるのも体験としては変わらない。同様に動画広告中に立って家事をするのも、広告を表示させないようにするのも変わらない。私たちは配信者に機械に固定され、目を見開かされて広告を見るよう強制されていない。
ウェブにおいてコンテンツは店ではない。どちらかというと取り寄せに近い。広告ブロックは万引きではなく、商品と一緒に届いたDMを読まずに捨てる行為だ。もしくは一度荷物を空けて勝手にDMを捨ててくれる管理人。
広告を見たくない人が見なければ潰れてしまうビジネスモデルなら、そのビジネスモデルが間違っている。YouTubeが無料で見られるのは理由がある、もし完全課金制の方が儲かるのならそうすれば良い。Evernoteのように。その時私が課金するかはまた別の話だ(おそらく数ドルならするのではないかな)あとYouTubeプレミアムは広告除去を目的としたプランではない。
id:akiatYouTubeプレミアムがないならわかるけど、YouTubeプレミアムユーザーにとっては、フリーライダーや不正行為にしか見えん。
これをYouTubeの問題に矮小化するな。YouTubeプレミアムに課金すれば解決?私はそもそもYouTubeのように課金していない人たちに汚い広告を見せつけるビジネスモデルを否定している。YouTubeプレミアムに課金したからといって問題は何一つ解決していない。
私はこれまで世の中の人は広告に対して興味がないものと思っていた。コンテンツブロッカーを使わなければwebが見れないのは少数派なのだと。だがどうやら異なるらしい。広告収入が減るくらいコンテンツブロッカーが広まっているのならば、そのビジネスモデルは間違っている。
個人的にはいまの広告配信型ビジネスモデルは限界だと思う。コンテンツ制作者と広告配信者が一致していないせいで、ノイズでしかない広告が差し込まれる。質の高い広告とはたとえばYouTuberのレビュー動画やオモコロのPR記事のようなものだと思う。PR記事や動画をクリックしてみにいくとき、つまり能動的に広告を見に行くとき、ウェブサイトに差し込まれる広告のような嫌悪感はない。その広告を見たくてみているので。
(これは余談だが、個人的には広告よりもたとえばコインハイブのようにPCパワーを奪ったり、InstagramやTiktokのように完全に嗜好に合致しており煩わしくないと感じる広告の方に未来があると思う。そしてもちろんそのような広告たちもブロック可能であるべきだ。)
コンテンツブロックはマナー違反なので黙ってやれという意見がある。私はそうは思わない。私は無差別に投下された汚い広告がwebを埋め尽くす世界を望んでいない。間違ったビジネスモデルでなければ生き残れないサービスは滅びた方が良い。それを滅ぼすかどうかは私たちが決める。サービス側ではない。
金を払いたくないから課金していないという話ではない。私はそのビジネスモデルが正しいと感じ、続いて欲しいと感じたならば課金している。(たとえばNetflixやSpotifyやIFTTTやPinboardやDeepLやChatGPTPRO)
もちろん私が広告を見ない権利があるように、サービス側にも広告を見ないユーザをブロックする権利があるのだろう。ユーザのバンが認められる国や法があるとは思わないが。
改めてであるが広告モデルだけが全てではない。ユーザーへの不便の押し付けではなく、サービスのアップデートで覆すべきだ。NetflixとSpotifyが違法ダウンロードを駆逐したように。
もっと広告ブロックを使え。Twitterはwebなりtweetpdを併用すれば広告は消える。Wikipediaには募金しろ。もちろん支援したいサイトはホワイトリストに入れるのも良い。やりようはいくらでもある。くだらない未来を甘受するな。

listall thesereasonsnow because
everyoneislike thing and then thing
Japan ah so I have to tell them and I
particular that people saidwas that old
people reallydon'tlike foreigners they
hate them so when Iwasgonna stopby to
say hi to our neighborswhowas alittle
olderatleast some of them Iwas
terrifying I heardall these storiesyou
knowlike what are theygonna do to us
so I had my guard up ready for theworst
and Iwas met withnothing but kindness
and welcoming and Ifeltlike atotal
dick for having this preconceivedideas
and just a side commentlikeyes there
are definitely probably people that
don'tlike foreignersand all that stuff
but Irealized I shouldlet my own
experienceis dictate how Ifeel about
certain thingsmaybe that's just
ignoring a problem Idon't knowit just
feelslikeit's a bad way to approach
life ifyoualways have anegative
expectationyou knowit's smiling people
smiled back
thankyou sometimes theydon't and
that's okayyou knowanyway mypoint
beingJapanese people are very in my own
experience
are very nice and friendly the majority
atleast andyes even to foreigners I
feellike they are especially nice to
foreigners because they think we'relike
akidlostat Disneyland orsomething
I justasked for directions Ididn't
needyou to walk me forhalf an hour to
this specific place Iwasgoing but
thankyou Iappreciateit a lot oftimes
Igo boulderingalone and there'salways
other groups of peoplebeing supportive
and yellinglike I'm about therelikego
youcan doit Iloveit Ithink it's
greatyou know or ifyou're small
talking with people people generally
want to communicatewith you and Ilove
having thosemoments but of course
there'stimes where people arelike oh
you're a foreigner Idon'tfeellike
even trying
whichagainit'sfine speaking of which
reason Idon'tlikeJapannumbertwo
their language
I havelivedhere for a year and I'm not
fluent inJapanese
Iam dumb Iam very dumb I remember the
moment wemovedhere I had studied some
Let'stestout this knowledge that I
have acquiredlet'sgo I'm justgonna
come init'sgonna be dangerous andyou
enter a store for the firsttime and
they'relike
what
what oh
what the classicthe mostcommon
experiences thatyou have aren't
necessarily whatyou're taught in the
textbook yayI know I think that's the
same foranyonelearning a language for
the firsttime butdon't evenget me
startedon the kanjimain what the [ __ ]
is this IfeellikeJapaneseis such a
hard language obviously but Idon't
think peoplerealize how harditisat
least mepersonally because themoreyou
learn themoreyourealizeyoudon't
know [ __ ]
consideredone ofthe most difficult
languages and becauseit's just so
different I listeditas bad because
thatwas my first kind of experience
withit cominghere but themore I
interact with people themoreitfeels
like I'm unlocking new skillsyou know
oh Imade a phone call for the first
time oh I couldasksomeoneover the
phoneI knowbig deal butit'slike oh I
can actually do that or even just having
a small tinyyes shittiest conversation
with a strangerit'sstillsomething and
itfeelsgoodyou start toall of a
sudden understandyou know a movie if
you're watching oh I understand actually
what'sgoingonhere or I can play games
and kind ofget what this they're saying
I have tolook upwords obviously but to
meall those new experiences thatit
unlocks to meis very rewarding even
thoughit's such a challenge I would
actuallynow sayit's agood thing I
thingall along but I obviously have a
andit just Idon'tthink itwilldamage
timereasonnumber three IlikeJapan
thisisnothing to do withJapan to say
it'smore related to me taking amore
relaxed approach toYouTube for my
entire 20s Ididnothing butYouTube
thatwasmy life and that's okay but I
probablyyou know if Iwasn't making
videos I sureashellwas thinking about
making videos I uploaded videos during
anditfeels reallygood to finally be
free fromityou know and I can discover
other things inlife there are other
things inlife
a new hobbies and interest that I've
always wanted to do Ican do and have so
muchfun withit surfingI know I would
love forthe longest time and I finally
get todo it andit's so [ __ ]amazing
Ilovelearning new thingsanything that
isn't necessarilyconnected toall of
something I'm very very grateful that I
discovered so yeahit's not reallyJapan
I could havedone thatanywhere butit's
largelywhy I enjoyed so muchhere
reason Idon'tlikeJapannumber three
thisis probablythe most trickiestone
andit's the rules what are the rules
Japanhas somany rules andit's abit
conflicting for me to complain about
because a lot of the best stuff about
Japan not the best stuff but a lot of
the reasonswhyJapan works so wellis
because of the rulesyou know thetrains
arealwaysontime things just work in
generalit's hard to explainthe streets
areclean people aren't loud in public
and soon and these are sort of societal
rules thatmakeit happenmore orless
but sometimes There are rules that just
don'tmakeanysense and I have no
problem following rulesas longas I
understandthe reason forityou know
don'ttalkon the phoneon thetrain
becauseit's generally annoying when
other people do that toyou A lot ofit
is just be thoughtful of other people
it's not just aboutyou and that just
makesitmore pleasant for everyone but
one ruleis especially which Italked
about beforeisthe fact that because of
kovid I'm notallowed to be in the
delivery room for our baby formore than
two hours that's because of covered
rulesit just doesn'tmakesense to me
and I tell people about thislike uh
family andfriends and they'realways
like wellwhydon'tyou justask them or
likewhydon'tyoutalk to them I'm sure
you can there'sgot to besomewhere and
it'slike noit'sJapan okay there are
rules and people follow the rules for
better or worseyou know so themore I
