長いですが、記録のために、引用します。 Daisuke: I want to use this magic that people have the ability to learn new things even if they are adult. Today, I think we need to learn new things every day, every year, but people, maybe not specific to Japan, but people tend to not learn new things. Tim: Do you think that’s because it’s difficult to learn new things as you get older or do people just not want to, they don’t try? Daisuke: I think that yeah, they just don’t try. Current education system is very not flexible. People studied only during school and after graduating school, they don’t want to learn or they don’t try to learn new things but today, there are many new ideas and technologies, and new programs. So people have to study every day, not only English or such computer science but also need to study new things. Tim: You know, I think that’s true and you know, I think that’s true worldwide, not just Japan. Our whole idea of how we educate people is just, okay, you go to elementary school so you can get into high school, you graduate to high school, you can go to university, you get good grades in university so you can get into the company, and then you’re done, and it isn’t true anymore – maybe it never was but it certainly doesn’t seem true now. Daisuke: And I also feel that learning does not mean that remembering some new rules or some new formula, or some new historical event. Human can acquire new skills. This idea comes from the AI research. Remembering something is a very small portion of intelligence and for example, when we study the reinforcement learning, we find that ability of the learning to learn is very important but in the school, we explicitly learn such skills, learning to learn. Tim: That’s a really good point. I think there’s maybe like, kind of three different steps to it. So as we were saying, just learning new information and historical facts, that’s easy and people will do that, and the second level is kind of acquiring new skills, like learning a new programming language and some people will do that but I think the third step and what’s really hard as people get older is learning new behaviors and changing the way you interact with people in the world. Daisuke: Yeah, and changing the habits or customs. Yeah, this is very important but it is not taught by school.
