Robot Toy


In childhood, I had a robot toy that's something like in the graphic.  It's such nostalgia!

Improving Imagination

What do you do to improve your imagination?

Learning Japanese

I think my learning Japanese improves my imagination.

Speculative Fiction

I recommend speculative fiction to you.

Imagination Important

"Imagination is more important than knowledge," I quote Albert Einstein.

Conworlding

I've liked conworlding since childhood.

Geofiction

I've always liked geofiction.

Conreligion?

What kind of conreligion would you make?

Conreligions

I've heard of conreligions, constructed religions, as part of the hobby of conworlding, constructing imaginary worlds.

Happenings Explained

The strange things happening nowadays may someday have explanations that we can understand.  Now, we rely on imagination.

Fact Stranger

Though we many times like to wallow in the imaginary, we should note that fact is often stranger than fiction.

Size and Universe

You're really small because the universe is truly vast.  Many can't really fathom the huge size of the universe.

Not Just about Japaneseness

My personality isn't just about Japaneseness.  I'm a radical intellectual, which means that I prefer to be a "World Citizen" than to be part of some historical ethnic group.  I stand not as just "being Japanese."  I'm an Esperantist, Lojbanist, and Interlinguist.  I'm an amateur astronomer.  I'm a sci-fi fan.  It's not about "being Japanese."  Some of you still remember the 1980's when Japan was the focus of attention.
