Delicate Automation is a “next-generation manufacturing OS” that bundles Japan’s precision hardware, shop‑floor know‑how, and quality data with lightweight AI to optimize high‑mix low‑volume production without relying on massive capital.

Species Totalitarianism

2025-04-13EN

We living beings may seem to live for ourselves, but in truth, we are unconsciously driven by the greater purpose of species-level survival. And even that pursuit unfolds as part of a larger cosmic flow, functioning effortlessly beyond the scope of individual awareness.

What is Communication?

Communication is the act of gradually sharing each other's "inner universe." Yet this process is always accompanied by limitations, as it relies on language—an inherently imperfect tool for translation.

Leisurely Humans Return to Being Artists

As AI takes over more of our productive tasks, what should humans do with the time that’s left? The answer may lie in returning to our original nature—to create, to express, and to dance. This piece explores how the rise of AI and the emergence of "waiting time" invite us to rediscover the essential value of art and human creativity.

Thinking is a simple cycle: posing questions (System 2) and drawing answers from our knowledge (System 1). In this piece, I revisit traditional models of thought and explore how our thinking works—and how we can strengthen it.
