I act like I don’t care, but you’ll never know how much it kills me inside.

はてブで叩かれまくりの記事だが、中身はリスクコミュ学の教科書に書いてそうなまっとうな話。あとは、逆宝クジのような形で一部国民にリスクを強いることを認めるか、国民の価値判断の問題。 自動車や石油火力は原発より危険である http://t.co/Iqtea5v

書評： なぜ日本人は日本を愛せないのか (カレル・ヴァン・ウォルフレン)(via raurublock) Via Raurublock on Tumblr
彼の言う、日本の「システム」と大衆の図式なのだけれども、私が違和感を感じるのは、システムが大衆を一方的に踏みにじっているという捉え方である。もちろんウォルフレンの本は政治的主張の本なので、そういう風に描写することでモティベーションを高めるという意図は十分に理解できるのだけれども、実のところこの「システム」は、当然のことながら、大衆がある程度同意して存在させ、作り出してきたものなわけだ。というか、そういう風に理解しないと、問題を間違って把握してしまうというような局面がいくつか存在する、という言い方にとどめておこうか。たとえば、日本が湾岸戦争に兵を送らずに済んだのは、ほとんど、日本の歴代政治家が(ウォルフレンの言うような意味で)無能だったおかげである。大衆はおそらく、こういう利得があるということを予測して、コストを払っているのだ。この利得はある意味で日本人全体に薄く分散するが、コストは特定の人に、ほとんど偶然に降りかかる(輸血でHIVに感染した人、みたいな)。いってみれば負の宝くじを買っているようなもので、したがって日本人はたいてい、そういう宝くじに当たってしまった人に対して冷たい。それを繰り込み済みで、この体制を受け入れているという暗黙の諒解があるからだ。
WHY CAN’T MY LIFE BE LIKE PHINEAS AND FERB’S?
Just building a rocket:
Or fighting a mummy:
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower:
Maybe discovering something that doesn’t exist:
Well.. not giving a monkey a shower:
But surfing tidal waves!
Creating nanobots!
And locating Frakenstein’s brain!
Finding a Dodo bird:
Or painting a continent:
Maybe driving my sister insane!
But then there’s a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall:

If we woke up and learned one morning from reading the newspaper that 12 jumbo jets filled with children had crashed, leaving no survivors, the world would be outraged and distraught. Yet, each day, a child somewhere in the world is dying every 8 seconds from drinking contaminated water — the equivalent of 12 jumbo jets of children dying per day.
– from “Why a Child Dies Every 8 Seconds” (via canisfamiliaris) Via Doggy StyleI noticed that the theme file in the Theme Garden didn’t reflect the lattest updates to the theme. I fixed that.
Also, I just updated the theme with the new Photoset post types. The Theme Garden file should reflect it in a few days, but until then, if you can’t wait, add this code between your

“Rob Nelissen and Marijn Meijers of Tilburg University in the Netherlands examined people’s reactions to experimental stooges who were wearing clothes made by Lacoste and Tommy Hilfiger, two well-known brands that sell what they are pleased to refer to as designer clothing. As the two researchers show in a paper about to be published in Evolution and Human Behavior, such clothes do bring the benefits promised: co-operation from others, job recommendations and even the ability to collect more money when soliciting for charity. But they work only when the origin of the clothes in question is obvious.”

A relative approached me at a family gathering last week. “What do you think of your sister’s hair?” she asked, giving my mane, which admittedly could use a trim, the once-over. “She looks fabulous.”
I was only mildly offended by this pointed exchange. Yes, my sister’s chin-length…
