Shogakukan YouthBooks / Whose glasses are you looking at the world? On the Internet news, there are a variety of articles ranging from "Japan is the best country that continues to be loved and respected by the world," to "It is the end of the country that continues to lose its competitive edge due to the declining birthrate and aging population," which makes you feel anxious. While there are many articles of desperation saying "The weak yen will destroy the country," there are rare articles saying "The weak yen can be an opportunity." Which is true? Or are they not true? When processing information, the human brain tends to choose something that is easy to understand or convenient over something that is logically correct. As a result, it can reinforce prejudices, false beliefs, and sometimes discriminatory feelings about a particular person or thing. As long as you think with your own brain, the human brain tends to choose something that is easy to understand or convenient. As long as you think with your own brain, you can't escape from your own bias. In other words, no matter what your opinion is or what information comes from anywhere, it's important to know that there is some kind of bias before you face things, knowing that there is some kind of bias before you face things. Brain science tells you a strategy to survive gently by avoiding a life of disability while being forced to wear someone's glasses, that is, surrounded by someone's thinking bias.
