Order No.115 "Shakai x Ao-chan"
In this episode, we welcome Ao-chan as our guest. Together with our manager Tsujiri-nu, they engage in a deep dialogue centered on the discomfort and questions surrounding the word "society" (shakai) that Tsujiri-nu has felt for many years.
There has been a change in how we engage with society.
Ao-chan mentions that she previously viewed society as something to be "utilized." However, after several years of running her own business, she describes a major shift in that perspective. She shares the process of realizing how her work is supported by the regional community and social systems, leading her to feel that she is truly "a part of society."
We think of society as a "giant machine."
During the talk, there is a segment where they compare society to a machine and individuals to its "gears." While not everyone grasps the overall blueprint, the idea that the massive apparatus of society is maintained through each person fulfilling their own role resonates with our daily lives.
We also discuss the existence of those who cannot be gears.
The word "gear" can sometimes carry a cold, replaceable impression. However, a machine doesn't run on gears alone; it requires diverse parts like belts and pins. In the dialogue approaching the "purpose" of why the machine of society operates, an essential keyword emerges. Please listen to the full episode to hear the rest.
