Soon before long, Category 4 typhoon"Ma-On" will hit Japan. How powerful! Every summer, many tropical storms are born in Pacific Ocean near Japan.
Divine Wind "Kamikaze" originated from the typhoons that saved Japan from Mongol invasion in 1274 and and 1281. Mongol fleet was destroyed in a storm for a short moment. The fleet is thought to have been equal to The D-Day operation in Normandy 1944.
In fact,Kamikaze means supernatural defense against enemies, not suicidal attack. The danger past,God forgotten. Devin wind might save us from hopeless surroundings. Japan Meteorological Agency

Liberal Arts are White Elephants.
A man of culture get difficulties rather than a welcome. Liberal arts yield nothing useful any more. If you cite something from classics, your friends will show at a loss, and then make fun of you,"You know all, no thanks!"
Huge knowledge about humanities might make you alienated from your friends. Nietzsche was also a bachelor who had become more lonely because of his serious insight about humanities.
In modern society, instead of liberal arts, you have to endure petty soap opera. and if you are a man, to beef up your poor muscle shall be more recommended than to read classics nobody knows.
"Is the Four-Year, Liberal-Arts Education Model Dead? " I found this in CNBC web and read it.
The times in which high educated means a man of culture had already been dead long, long ago. Perhaps There are no more than 1~2% persons who deserve a intellectual in population. (Depending on my working career in publisher, this means the book sales rate for an intellectual)

Fear For Blackout
It was hot today. Shortage of electric power is worried in east area of Japan. Air conditioner may cause a blackout in this summer. So the temperature of cooling in the room is inadequate everywhere. Saving electricity is now a national resort to do without Blackout trouble.
I can't understand why national high school baseball competition(Koshien 甲子園) is due to be held. It is thought to waste electric power the most in the hottest season because of TV broadcasting. But Nobody opposed it. This is the very Japan. "Koshien" that is sacred and inviolable for Japanese. and I dislike it.

Far Right In Europa
Japan,Germany and Italy were called "The Axis" by "Allies". One of these country's feature in common appeared in 1960~70's. It was a terrible far left activity with terrorism. United Red Army (Japan, It was a prototype of modern Palestinian suicide terror ) Red Army Fraction( W Germany infamous Hijacks) Red Brigades(Italy kidnapping). And they were anti-U.S. naturally. In France, America, and many other countries, far left activities went off at that time. But It was not so radical as"The Axis". I assume that it was " W.W Ⅱ resurgence". It was also the battle against Anglo-America Capitalism. In some meanings ,a political movement might be a prolongation of the past war.
What is the most notable political movement in Europa after that? I'm sure that it is Far Right,and it will be in the future. I have no sympathy with Chauvinism, but understand modern far right stemmed from values which were surrendered themselves to the idea of Welfare State. So it often contains libertarianism.
In Britain, Welfare state have been bankrupt once as an idea. But Margaret Thacher was not called Far Right at that time. Although leftists or feminists called her "Fascist". Britain is still a welfare state, but it hasn't already meant a positive value. On the other hand,Thacher was not also so radical as a politician on the right.
Invincible Welfare state like Sweden, seems to have many Far Right supporters now. The more losers the more radical supporters to Far Right. Far Right movement is thought to depends on the pride or self-esteem of a loser or unadapted class. It seems not a temporary movement but a rebel from the side of values neglected for a long time in welfare state. Otherwise, it is a restorationism. (it might be values about family,religion, tribalism, male dominance, free economy or education)

The Mystery Of Sweden
Sweden is an unfamiliar land to me, and the Swedish people look very different to Japanese. In Japan, Many intellectuals are often saying "Sweden is a wonderful land or an ideal welfare state." But such their blinded worships to Sweden made me alienated from Sweden rather than know better.
By the way, I have found a troublesome fact in Sweden. Sweden is the worst criminal country in Europe. Why? I have been subjected to listen to the idolization of Sweden in Japan almost like Kim-Jong-il in North Korea for long time. I can't understand the fact. It is anything but an ideal land at least at the point of criminal rate.
For the example, rape rate in Sweden is twenty times as many as France or Germany. As for other criminals, compared with Japan, Japan is no less than free from criminal.
I just have read Wikipedia but I can't get it. Immigrant problems are same in other European countries. It couldn't be fair to blame everything on immigrants.
I heard that some Swedish girls invented anti-rape belt for their chastity. There might not be more disgrace for Swedish people than this.

Money Wagging The Man
I found one interesting blog (Japan). The blogger started his non working retired life just two years ago. His savings was amount to fifty million yen(six hundred twenty five thousand dollars ) at that time. He was still young and his effort to save money was outstanding. He began to enjoy his idle life.
Well, How is he now? He have just lost almost of his savings. He changed all his savings to Tepco(Tokyo electric power company)stocks for HEDGE. But, as you know, Fukushima Nuclear accident blew his all assets off. He is still young. He shall manage to get a job.
We are apt to forget the money is only fiat currency. It's only symbol of the wealth. When I was a junior high school student, I found the fact. But how about gold? Answer to this problem was in the world history.
I couldn't understand Physiocrats and and Mercantilism at that time. Now this seems to me as the wall of fools about"where the wealth come from?" Off course I stand by Physiocrats.
He realized this fact and had a fear for inflation. To prevent his assets from inflation, he changed all cash to Tepco's stock, and blew himself up. (commodities yield neither interest nor dividend money)
