The modern punk counterculture is about being motivated – why you feel like passion is no longer relevant these days

The more motivated people are trying to do their best、、、

I hear a lot of worries about this happening.

This time, to save such motivated refugees

I will describe how we should act.

Also, while understanding that it is rude, it is easy to understand

Motivated ←→ will use a matrix of no ←→ competence competence.

Modern trends

There is also a considerable economic impact.

I don’t mean to say badly, but

The majority in modern society has no motivation, passion, or conviction.

Or rather, it would be correct to say that “motivation is dead.”

So, inevitably, motivated people will be in the minority.

It’s an indescribable time when motivated people are feeling frustrated.

The term motivated and incompetent is also in vogue

already

There is a tendency like that.

It is also a structure in which unmotivated competence has power.

So

People don’t follow motivated and competent.

Motivated incompetence makes it difficult to improve oneself to become competent.

Unmotivated incompetence is despairing, or illusion/optimistic that it is cognate with unmotivated competence

It is a state like that.

however

Because I was the one who made the motivated choice

Don’t think that you won’t be rewarded for being motivated and working hard.

What is motivation in the first place?

The words themselves are too vague.

Don’t rely on it and have faith.

But that’s why it’s good to be so motivated as a positioning.

History and Present of Punk Counterculture

Counterculture was born out of a backlash against the status quo.

According to Wikipedia

^{Counterculture(British: counterculture)Counterculture(Taikobunka)Is a part of a subculture, and its values and behavioral norms are very different from the culture of mainstream society (main culture / high culture), and often goes against mainstream cultural practices. Culture[1][2]. However, the value of counterculture has the potential to replace the main culture (alternative culture). The counterculture movement expresses the spirit and aspirations of ordinary people of a certain era, but when the power of the counterculture grows, it can cause dramatic cultural changes.}

^{Punk (British: punk) is a subculture that originated mainly in punk rock. Initially centered on rock music, ideology, and fashion, it later expanded to include art, dance, literature, and film, forming its own subculture. People who embody the punk subculture are called punks. One person is punk. The original meaning is “bad, thug, useless”[1].}

As the power of the counterculture grows,

While there are positive aspects that it can cause dramatic cultural change,

The original meaning of punk is that it is bad, thug, and useless, and there are negative aspects.

The purpose of this project is to take advantage of this positive aspect.

If you look at who has the power

In the past, we gave the middle finger to rigid systems created by powerful people who were full of intense motivation, passion, and conviction.

It was a way of repulsion

It’s a little different in modern times.

Because in modern times, people without motivation, passion, and conviction have gained power.

To those people

・Aren’t you satisfied with the current situation?

・Shouldn’t we think about society as a whole, not just if the individual is good?

It has changed to the antithesis.

When it comes to this kind of phrase

Although it may sound like you should have power

It is not.

What I want to say is

The word motivated had a positive meaning.

It means that it has become a negative meaning.

And it is that punk by nature includes the meaning of incompetence.

Also

・Profitable

・Capital

・Practical

・Useful

but also

・Personal emotions

・Social issues

It is an era that must also be considered.

If we don’t accept these realities first, nothing will start.

Why Japan doesn’t change

I feel that little by little Japan people’s consciousness has begun to change.

Not much has changed yet.

What comes up in the discussion of what changes in the Japan can be made for better

Generally

These are the three giants.

It is difficult to improve society with these, although it is not wrong.

because

Why it is difficult to change society in politics

Due to the declining birthrate and aging population, it is difficult for young people’s opinions to be heard.

More than that, it is the opinion that young people do not need to change in the first place.

Referring to an article by NHK, he emphasizes trust in the LDP.

Because Japan politics is stable over the long term

In the first place, they are not tolerant of reforms.

The opposition parties have no credibility, no matter how much they respect the opinions of young people.

In addition, there is a status quo bias.

The psychological tendency not to accept what we do not know or have experienced is

There will be more than a few.

Why it is difficult to change society with education

I’m sorry to talk about it in a small world

My smart friend is also involved in the Japan education system.

I was frustrated.

Teachers are civil servants, so they can only act in accordance with the law.

As with politics, changing discipline

It’s hard to do.

Why it is difficult to change society with the media

Media genius has been crushed in Japan.

A typical example is

・Kakuei Tanaka in the Lockheed incident

・ Hiromasa Jiang in the Recruit case

The content of the incident itself is not directly related to the media, but I have a bad feeling.

In addition, it lacks impact when compared to primary information such as scientific papers, created art, and architecture.

Information can be dismissed as a personal opinion.

On the other hand, if you seek impact, it becomes propaganda.

You lose the credibility of the information.

In addition, if we accept and disseminate diverse opinions,

It will be considered inconsistent.

Therefore, it is difficult to think of media as a secondary thing, not as media itself.

So what should we do?

Now, let’s talk about what we should do specifically.

Adopt only unmotivated and competent ways

It is important to take a close look at how unmotivated competence works.

Let’s TTP (thoroughly) pack the means and tools.

Motivated people ride on the shoulders of giants.

I know you don’t like it.

Let’s borrow this place gratefully.

And unlike motivated people, unmotivated people lack reason.

They are sensitive to food, sex, and money.

Take advantage of it.

In short videos

・Iitero, Moppan and ASMR

・ Women with a lot of exposure, love stories

・ How to earn and how to buzz

That’s why I get it.

The idea is public.

Never, even if your ideas are stolen

Unless you’re issuing a patent or an NFT,

I can’t complain.

Also, in the spirit of giving

Let’s quit holding and be aware of fluidity.

It is important to think of ideas and money as balls that pass passes, not water from dams.

It’s the feeling of passing the ball, having it turned, and the person who should be taking the shot is hitting.

Increasing your value while being close to those who are not motivated

A motivated person looks arrogant.

Unless you are quite capable, have confidence in producing results, and are not famous.

Nobody wants to follow someone with enthusiasm.

Do not look for positivity from others.

A teacher who is not motivated is better than a hard-working teacher.

That’s why it was so popular.

You have to be close to them.

By the way, “Isn’t there a correlation between ability and motivation?” and “If you are motivated, your ability will increase.”

This is a false perception.

I’m sorry this is my sports experience.

Even if you don’t seem to be motivated to shut up, the team that wins can win.

Even if you form a circle and say, “We will definitely win!”, the losing team will lose.

In other words, what I want to say is

Regardless of whether you are motivated or not, if you do what you are supposed to do, you will get results.

Motivated people help each other

It is important to help each other through alliances and partnerships and create value.

The boundaries between individuals, companies, and universities will become thinner, and the granularity will be even smaller than in the past.

So, sales is not the classic way of earning with your feet.

There is no problem in connecting with people close to you who have come up in SNS recommendations.

However, it is an era where being able to connect with anyone is the mainstream.

In some cases, direct connection can be established as scarcity value.

In this regard, it is a balance.

Emphasis on health and compassion through culture and providing stress relief (tourism, art, entertainment)

In fact, I learned that the DJ president and Julius Caesar have the same method.

Accumulate too much debt and gain irreparable expectations.

↓

Music / Gallic Wars to pay for your career.

It’s a way of life.

Well, this is an extreme example, but it means that passion and determination were communicated.

This is a kind of entertainment and cultural contribution.

Also, to reduce stress

It is said that animals and nature are effective,

In fact, abstract art is also good for stress.

So, I contribute as a creator.

It’s also important to contribute to creators.

It is also effective to become a dentist or psychiatrist, which is in high demand for physical and mental health.

After all, people who are motivated study 、、、

And

Where you created or destroyed culture

Differences from systems and laws

No one is sacrificed.

It will be acceptable and beneficial to people.

Provide efficiency through technology (DX, AI, quantum computing, 3D printers, etc.)

The other day, we were talking about architecture not changing.

He also said that even though things changed, the quality wasn’t keeping up.

It’s like, “Nobody knows the name of the Japan architect who won the Pritzker Prize.”

It seems that there are also situations.

After all, architecture takes an enormous amount of time to pass through a single project.

It seems that there is also the advantage that it is easier to remain.

Change takes time.

And

Utilizing digital technologies such as 3D printers and the metaverse

There seems to be a movement to speed up the cycle.

It’s like virtual technologies such as Docker and Kubenetes in software development.

I digress, but I want to talk about development efficiency.

It is said that we need to run the PDCA cycle at high speed in an agile manner.

In addition, I think that the number of centralized tools for promoting DX to improve operational efficiency has increased.

The Flutter mobile development kit is also cross-platform for Android, iOS, Web, and more.

Centralization is also becoming an increasingly keyword.

Also, AI and quantum computers

It seems that we can provide operational efficiency in various fields.

The contents are currently just optimizations or algorithms.

If you are motivated to improve or put it into practical use, you can do it.

Thinking about social issues (sustainability, etc.)

Companies that claim the SDGs

Although there is an opinion that it is suspicious

Radical vegan

If you don’t bother to say that you are doing the SDGs, there is no problem.

If you are motivated, you should turn to solving social problems without saying anything.

・Even with discrimination and disparity

・Even in the environment

・Even if you are healthy

There are many others.

We should also think about these things when we work.

If you’re really motivated, you can.

The development of insect food may be a good example.

Focusing on the Big Picture (World, Space, Virtual Reality)

If you are motivated

You should be able to look at the big things and work on them.

Fighting in the world is one way to do it.

And smart people doing technology have different means.

I have a hunch that we are heading towards space and virtual reality.

・Have a broad perspective of the world

・To advance to the unexplored land of space

・Understanding the abstract world of virtual reality

I think these are great things for motivated people.

Conclusion

Motivated people

Facing the reality that trust is necessary

↓

Earn money preferentially as a tool from the trust you have gained

↓

Use motivation as positioning

↓

For the well-being of individuals

↓

In a field that is open to change

↓

Focus on the goals of society as a whole
