95% of Today's You

is Unconsciously Controlled by the Past?!

The automatic you.

60,000 thoughts and decisions.
80% are negative.
95% are based on the past.

Unaware.
On autopilot.

Live consciously.
Live as if you’ve already become the person you want to be.

Stay in that version of yourself for a long time.

【Chapter 1】Opportunities and Change

Opportunities exist around change.
- At the heart of change is technology, especially AI.
- Capturing change leads to capturing opportunities.
How can we enhance our ability to detect change?
- By getting closer to technology (staying updated on the latest advancements).
- Understanding the structure of economics and human society.

【Chapter 2】Solo Entrepreneurs and the Future of Work in the AI Eraソ

An era where small teams can achieve enormous results.
- OpenAI developed ChatGPT with fewer than 200 people, generating trillion-dollar value.
- With the right ideas, individuals or small teams can create a huge impact.
To survive in the AI era, three understandings are essential:
- Technology
- Economics and Capitalism
- Human structure and emotions

【Chapter 3】The Relationship Between Mentality and Action

A strong mentality is gained through understanding.
- By processing what was once handled emotionally with reason and systems, stability is achieved.
- As understanding deepens, emotional reactions decrease.
Recovery through immersion:
- When things aren’t going well, immerse yourself and eliminate time spent worrying.
- Assume that failure is the default, and this will stabilize your emotions.

【Chapter 4】The Art of Self-Discipline

Rely on habits, not willpower
- Willpower is finite and drains over time.
- Optimize actions through habit formation and external design (raising the cost of bad habits).
How to update your subconscious:
- Changing external appearances (hairstyle, clothing, voice) can trigger internal change.
- Write out and adjust your self-image.

【Chapter 5】Consciousness and the Future of the Metaverse

Is it possible to discard the physical body and transfer consciousness to the metaverse?
- Technically, it may be possible, but there’s the philosophical challenge: "Is this truly ‘you’?"
- Upon upload, consciousness may evolve into a "different personality," creating issues with self-identity.
Artificial consciousness = Virtual genes.
- Thought patterns, like genes, spread and create new personalities, ushering in a new world.

【Chapter 6】Virtual Worlds and their Regulation

What could be subject to regulation in virtual worlds?
- Overly addictive space design (encouraging escapism).
- Regulations may be needed in the future for designs that hack the subconscious.
The Lag in Legislation
- Regulations are typically addressed after incidents or accidents, leading to a gap of several years before issues are dealt with.

【Chapter 7】The Nature of the Physical World and Hypotheses

The Hypothesis: Matter as the Shadow of Information
- The world is driven by "information," and "physical" existence is a byproduct that follows.
- Our five senses are limited observation tools, capturing only a fraction of the true world.
Human behavior is also determined by the environment.
- Free will is an illusion—thoughts and behaviors are shaped by social structures and individual positions.

【Chapter 8】The Nature of Loneliness and how to overcome it

Loneliness arises from the belief that "I and others are the same."
- Understanding the differences between oneself and others in greater detail can reduce feelings of loneliness.
- By progressing in self-understanding through the "Ugly Duckling" theory, loneliness can be eased.

【Chapter 9】Early Business Experience

Creativity Born from Clay and Paper
- Growing up with clay and paper fostered creativity, which has contributed to the creativity I have today.
My First Business: Web Design
- Self-taught, I handled 300 phone sales per day, gradually gaining customers.
- Year 1: Revenue of 20 million yen, Year 2: Over 100 million yen in revenue.

【Chapter 10】The IT Industry and Future Predictions（2025〜2030）

Superman-Type Talent in the IT Industry
- In the future IT industry, "Superman-type talents" will thrive—those who can delegate programming to AI while also being capable in design, communication, and editing.
- A well-rounded human with cross-functional skills will be in high demand.
Future Predictions（2025〜2030）
- AI will become the center of society, and the role of humans will be redefined.
  Moon societies and virtual spaces will progress, marking a shift in values.
- The economy will experience chaos and upheaval, leading to a generational transition.

【Chapter 11】Law and the AI Era

The Future Role of Lawyers
- Experts will be needed to engage in law-making for frontier areas like AI and space.
- New types of lawyers will be required to resolve the friction between technology and society.

By organizing the flow of discussion along the lines of "Change →Opportunity → Action → Coonsciousness → Social Structure → Law" the overall picture becomes much clearer.
