空手形ばかり切るビジネス

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/09/17

Is modern self-help built on promissory notes? In this episode, I explore how online businesses often sell promises whose value can only be judged in the future: change your habits and your life will improve, invest in yourself and you will succeed, or build systems and you will become free. On social media, people even seem to endorse each other’s promises through likes, comments, and mutual praise. But eventually, every promise reaches its maturity date. What actually remains after one, two, or

働きすぎる社長は、本当に優秀なのか

2026/09/16

Is a CEO who works constantly really a great CEO? In this episode, I explore the difference between working hard and actually managing a company. During the early stages of a business, founders often need to do everything themselves. But as a company grows, the skills required may change. Executives must learn to delegate, step away from daily operations, think about the future, and sometimes simply wait. Practical tasks feel satisfying because they have clear endings, while strategic thinking often

人畜無害はノーリスク・リターンな徳である

2026/09/15

Is being harmless the same as being a good person? In this episode, I question why modern society often treats harmlessness as a moral virtue. Traditional virtues such as courage, justice, generosity, and honesty usually involve some kind of cost: risk, conflict, sacrifice, or responsibility. Harmlessness, however, can often be achieved simply by avoiding conflict, strong opinions, and difficult situations. There is nothing wrong with living quietly and peacefully, but not harming others is

AIで空いた時間に、仕事をしてはいけない

2026/09/14

What should we do with the time AI saves us? In this episode, I argue that efficiency should not simply lead to more work. If a task that once took three hours now takes one, perhaps the remaining two hours should belong to us. We can play games, read, walk, nap, or do nothing at all. Modern life often turns even rest into another productivity tool, but rest does not need to justify itself. AI and automation should not exist merely to increase the density of work. Their real promise may be giving

苦しみの資産化 ── なぜ不幸はYouTubeで価値を持つのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/09/13

What happens when human suffering becomes an asset? In traditional accounting, humiliation, loneliness, unemployment, and painful memories have no monetary value. But on YouTube, those same experiences can generate views, donations, subscribers, and advertising revenue. In this episode, I explore the strange economics of turning personal suffering into content. The most disturbing possibility is that success may create a conflict: you want to escape your suffering, but your audience may value you

深いことを言いすぎる時代

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/09/12

Why does everyone sound so “deep” these days? In this episode, I explore the inflation of philosophical language online: words like freedom, meaning, identity, structure, desire, and authenticity now appear everywhere. The problem is not thinking deeply, but mistaking abstract language for depth itself. When profound-sounding words are used constantly, philosophy can become little more than background music. I argue that the weight of a thought may depend partly on how long someone has remained

壁打ちは環境負荷が高い

2026/09/11

Is AI “brainstorming” bad for the environment? In this episode, I half-jokingly ask whether we really need data centers running around the world just to help us organize our thoughts. People now use AI to reflect on their careers, emotions, goals, values, and daily frustrations—tasks that once required only a notebook, a walk, or a quiet evening. Of course, AI has many valuable uses, but perhaps not every vague feeling needs computational power. Sometimes the most environmentally friendly form of

なぜ私たちは自分を『最適化』し続けるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/09/10

Why are we constantly trying to optimize ourselves? In this episode, I look at how modern life encourages us to adapt to systems rather than question them. Employees optimize for promotions and performance reviews, while independent creators optimize for algorithms, clicks, followers, and engagement. Even after leaving the office, the logic of evaluation often remains. I also explore what happens when this mindset enters creative work: people search for the “right” titles, topics, styles, and

なぜ私たちは『相談』ではなく『壁打ち』と言いたがるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/09/09

Why do people in business increasingly say “sounding board” instead of simply asking for advice? In this episode, I explore my discomfort with the Japanese business buzzword kabeuchi, literally “hitting a wall.” Behind this seemingly harmless expression may lie something revealing about modern work culture: we want other people to help organize our thoughts, but we do not necessarily want their opinions, disagreement, or criticism. I discuss the hidden cost of using someone else’s time, why AI may

普通の人間であることが、最も差別化になる時代

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/09/08

In an age of AI, optimization, and personal branding, being an ordinary human may become a powerful form of differentiation. More people are following the same formulas: quitting jobs, becoming freelancers, building personal brands, exercising, investing in themselves, and using AI to optimize everything. As our content and lifestyles become increasingly polished and similar, imperfect people may become more interesting. Someone who hesitates, changes their mind, wastes time, or follows an

コンフォートゾーンから出るな

2026/09/07

“Get out of your comfort zone” is one of the most common messages in self-help culture. But is staying comfortable really such a bad thing? In this episode, I question the idea that we must constantly challenge ourselves, improve, grow, and seek new experiences. A comfort zone can also be a place of stability, recovery, and safety—a base we can return to after taking risks. Modern self-improvement culture often makes ordinary, peaceful living feel like stagnation. Perhaps we do not need to escape

Vlogなら物語を作らなくていい、という誤解

2026/09/06

Vlogs may look simple: just film your daily life, meals, work, shopping, and weekends. But keeping viewers interested over time is much harder than it seems. Once people become familiar with the same room, routines, and places, the novelty begins to disappear. Successful vloggers need to find small stories inside ordinary life—changes, goals, challenges, decisions, and developments that give viewers a reason to return. At the same time, too much staging can make a vlog feel artificial. In this

社会の命令を自分の欲望として内面化した人間のほうが、よほど効率よく動く

2026/09/05

What if modern society no longer needs to give us orders because we have learned to command ourselves? In this episode, I explore how social expectations can become personal desires. We wake up early, exercise, study AI, improve our careers, manage our health, and chase productivity because we believe we freely chose these goals. But did we? The more powerful form of control may be the one that feels like freedom. When society’s expectations become an inner voice, no supervisor is necessary. True

嫌われる拝金主義者と、愛される拝金主義者の違い

2026/09/04

Why are some openly materialistic people surprisingly likable, while others seem deeply unpleasant? In this episode, I explore the difference between desire and hypocrisy. A person who openly admits wanting money, status, luxury, or success can feel refreshingly honest. By contrast, someone who constantly talks about money but reframes every desire as “freedom,” “self-growth,” or “living authentically” may create distrust. Modern audiences are highly sensitive to inconsistency between a creator’s

なぜ自己啓発屋に『真面目に働け』という批判が起こりにくいのか

2026/09/03

Why do online communities built around self-help, side hustles, AI, and “making money online” rarely criticize the people selling these ideas? In this episode, I explore a possible reason: many followers hope to become sellers themselves someday. Criticizing the guru can feel like criticizing their own future. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle where people teach others how to earn, then those students teach the next group. Eventually, everyone may be talking about how to make money while fewer

サラリーマン後遺症

Leaving a company is easy. Leaving the company inside your head can take years. In this episode, I explore what I call “Salaryman Aftereffects”: the habits, fears, and ways of thinking that remain after someone quits corporate life. Employees receive more than a paycheck—they receive approval, structure, roles, and a sense of being needed. After independence, those rewards disappear. Suddenly, no boss gives instructions, no company provides work, and no one praises your efforts. True independence

空理空論バブル

What happens when AI reduces white-collar jobs while making it easier than ever to produce professional-sounding ideas? In this episode, I explore what I call the “Empty Theory Bubble”: a world where fewer people do the actual work, while more people talk about how work should be done. AI can generate articles, courses, newsletters, and expert-sounding advice almost instantly, dramatically lowering the cost of producing abstract ideas. The danger is not that these ideas are necessarily wrong. Many

地獄があるから自己啓発は売れる

Why does self-help sell so well? Perhaps because people feel they are already living in hell. Inspired by Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s famous story The Spider’s Thread, this episode compares self-help, side-hustle courses, AI entrepreneurship, and online business opportunities to threads hanging above people desperate to escape their current lives. When work, money, loneliness, or uncertainty becomes unbearable, even a fragile thread can look like a lifeline. But constantly searching for the next course,

Why can people with seemingly little substance still become highly popular and successful? In this episode, I explore how appearance, charm, likability, and personality influence the way we judge others—often more than we realize. Drawing on the psychological “halo effect,” social media culture, and a personal experience from my time working in Vietnam, I examine how first impressions can shape opportunities and even create real advantages over time. But there is another side to the story: people we

冷水シャワーは資本主義に優しい苦行である

Why have cold showers become so popular in modern self-improvement culture? In this episode, I describe them as a form of “light asceticism.” Traditional religious asceticism can involve distancing oneself from worldly desires and ambitions. Cold showers, however, offer just enough discomfort to create a sense of discipline without disrupting everyday life. You can suffer briefly, feel that you have conquered yourself, and then go to work as usual. They can even become a symbol of a disciplined
