The origin and evolution of life has long been debated, and natural selection and gene drift are considered to be the primary mechanisms of evolution. Natural selection is the process by which individuals with traits that favor survival and reproduction gradually increase, while gene drift is the phenomenon by which the proportions of traits change due to chance factors. Through these mechanisms...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is being touted as a technology that will make life easier through the networking of things, but there are still many technical and security issues to be resolved.

View cities as organisms and analyze the role of culture and role differentiation in their evolution. We’ll also discuss how urban designers should respect and develop the genetic elements of cities.   There are many ways to study cities. Some analyze cities structurally, while others study them in relation to policy. In particular, recent advances in data and technology have led to...

Drawing on the worldview of the movie The Matrix, this course explores the meaning of human free will and choice as the boundaries between virtual reality and reality become blurred. It raises philosophical questions about whether virtual reality can replace reality and whether humans can find true satisfaction in it, and compares the superiority of the real and virtual worlds.   In the...

The right to be forgotten, the right of individuals to remove information about themselves left online, seems reasonable on the surface, but it raises a number of issues, including conflicts between freedom of expression and the right to know, problems with the practicality of removing information, a reduction in the openness of the internet, and a distortion of the historical record.   In...

This article discusses the possibilities and limitations of AI, especially strong AI. Based on John Surall’s “Chinese Room Argument”, which argues that programming alone cannot embody human intentionality and sentience, it is necessary to study the physical basis of AI, such as the brain and neurons.   Artificial intelligence (AI) has been at the center of controversy for about 30...

This article explores the reasons for hesitation and fear in the face of important life choices, the regrets that come along with them, and the value and power of literature as a way to support students who make the conscious choice to study the humanities.   How are you? It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. I’ve always wondered how you were doing, and I’m...
