91세 대만人에게 주어진 특별졸업증서
'아와야 야스코'(粟屋康子) 씨와의 추억이 담긴 장미 이야기.

주오(中央)대학 '사카이 쇼자부로'(酒井正三郞) 총장이, 대만 북부 의란(宜蘭)
県에 사는 '양경선'(梁敬宣, 91세) 씨 자택을 방문해 '특별졸업증서'를 수여했
다. 양(梁) 씨는 학업을 마치지 못한 상태로 終戰을 맞아 대만으로 돌아와 지
내오고 있다. 주오(中央)대학은, 전쟁으로 인해 학업을 중단할 수밖에 없었던
OB들을 찾아내 '특별졸업증서'를 수여해오고 있는 가운데, 6년 전에 양 씨가
대상자임을 알게 되었고 이번에 증서를 전달하게 되었다. 양 씨는 일본어로
'아리가토 고자이마스. 우레시이데스'(감사합니다. 기쁩니다.)라고 말하며
기쁨을 감추지 못했다. 사카이(酒井) 총장은, 1947년 대만의 '2·28 사건' 당시
희생된 대만출신 주오(中央)대학 졸업생에 대한 추도식 참석을 위한 대만
방문 일정에 맞춰 2월27일 양 씨 자택을 찾아 증서를 건넸다.
양 씨는 대만 북부 도원(桃園)県 평진(平鎮, 現・桃園市 平鎮区)에서 대지주의
아들로 태어났고, 1936년에 일본 동경의 세타가야(世田谷)中學校로 유학을
갔다. 1944년에는 주오(中央)대학 예과 제1부(경제)에 입학했다. 전황 악화로
2학기부터는 학도근로(學徒勤勞)에 동원되어, 동경 아카바네(赤羽)에 위치한
군수 공장에서 高射砲 신관(信管)을 제작하는 작업을 하게 되었다. 특공대에
지원하여 특별조종견습사관 시험을 치르기도 했다. 1945년에 전쟁이 끝나고
1946년에 대만으로 돌아갔다.
양 씨 자택 정원에는 장미 나무가 있다. 도원(桃園)県 평진(平鎮)에서 지금의
의란(宜蘭)県으로 이사해 올 때도 소중하게 옮겨왔다. 전시중에 군수공장에서
함께 일한 동경(東京)女子고등사범학교 =現・오차노미즈(お茶の水)女子대학=
학생, '아와야 야스코'(粟屋康子) 씨와의 추억이 담긴 장미다. 근로동원이 계
속되는 가운데, 야스코(康子) 씨는, 함께 일하는 양 씨에게 붉은 장미를 선물
했다. 양 씨는 야스코(康子) 씨에게 연심(戀心)을 품고 있었지만, 언제 출정할
지 모르는 시절이었다. 양 씨는 야스코(康子) 씨를 향해, 머리카락 한 움큼을
잘라 달라고 부탁했다. 이후, 양 씨는 사이타마(埼玉)의 공장으로 옮겨졌고,
야스코(康子) 씨는 니가타(新潟)로 소개(疎開)되면서 둘은 헤어지게 되었다.
야스코(康子) 씨는, 부친 '아와야 센키치'(粟屋仙吉) 히로시마(広島)市長 등
가족 세 명을 원폭투하로 잃게 되었다. 종전 직후, 야스코(康子) 씨는, 피폭한
모친을 간병하러 히로시마로 이동하기 위해, 도쿄(東京)로 자신을 찾아온 양
씨에게 히로시마행 열차표를 구해주도록 부탁했다. '전승국 국민'으로 신분이
바뀐 양 씨 덕분에 히로시마행 열차표를 수월하게 구할 수 있었다. 야스코(康
子) 씨는 히로시마(広島)로 갔지만, 간병의 보람도 없이 모친은 세상을 뜨고
말았다. 이후 몇 개월 지나, 야스코(康子) 씨도 19세의 나이로 세상을 떴다.
2차 피폭 영향으로 추정되고 있다.
전쟁의 소용돌이와, 좋아했던 사람의 갑작스런 죽음으로 초래된 충격은 양 씨
로 하여금 깊은 상심으로 빠져들게 만들었다. 이러한 상심을 안고 1946년 양
씨는 대만으로 왔다. 그리고 자택 정원에, 야스코(康子) 씨의 머리카락을 묻고,
그 위에 야스코(康子) 씨로부터 받았던 것과 같은 붉은 장미를 심었다. 아열대
기후인 대만 북부에서는 장미 나무가 10년 밖에 못산다. 원래의 장미 나무로
부터 삽목(揷木)과 접목(接木)을 거듭하여 지금까지 이어져오고 있다. 양 씨
가족이 야스코(康子) 씨 이야기를 알게 된 것은 불과 10년 전이다. '한참 전에
세상을 뜬 사람이니까 소중한 기억으로만…'이라며 양 씨는 절제된 감정으로
심정을 토로했다.

Only The Rich Are Poisoned: The Preference of Others
It is easy to scam people by getting them into complication –the poor is spared that type of scamming. This is the same complication we saw in Chapter x that made academics sell the most possibly complicated solution when a simple one to the problem can do.
Hamburgers, to many, are vastly tastier than filet mignon, because of the higher fat content, but people have been convinced that the latter is better because it is more expensive to produce.
My idea of the good life is to not attend a gala dinner, one of those situations where you find yourself stuck seated for two hours between the wife of a Kansas city real estate developer and a Washington lobbyist.
Large Funeral Homes
Same with real estate: most people, I am convinced, are happier in close quarters, in a real barrio-style neighborhood, where they can feel human warmth, have company, but when they have big bucks they end up pressured to move into a outsized impersonal and silent mansions, far away from the neighbors. On late afternoons, the silence of the large galleries has a funereal feel to it, but without the soothing music. In addition, when large enough, the house will be professionally managed, like a corporation.
Some things can be, simply, too large for your heart. Rome, he(Vauvenargues, the French moralist) wrote, was easy to love by its denizens when it was a small village, harder when it became a large empire. Likewise, there is something desolate in a large mansion devoid of human warmth; there is something even more straining in a large mansion largely inhabited by servants.
Very few people understand their own choices, and end up being manipulated by those who want to sell them something.
Nonlinearity of Progress and the S curve
Now let us generalize to progress in general. Do you want society to get wealthy, or is there something else you prefer –avoidance of poverty. Are your choices yours or those of salespeople?
This reasoning be have just shown that exists a sophistication that causes degradation, what economists call “negative utility”. This tells us something about wealth & the growth of “GDP” in society: this shows the presence an “S” curve beyond which you get incremental harm. It is detectable only if you get rid of constructed preferences. (발췌)

Facta non Verba: How to Own Your Enemies
나심 탈레브
The best enemy is the one you own by putting skin in his game and letting him know the exact rules that come with it. You keep him alive, in the knowledge that he owes this to your benevolence. The notion that an enemy you own is better than a dead one was perfected by the order of the Assassins, so we will do some digging into the work of that secret society.
The Assassins
Sanjar became in 1118 the sultan of the Seljuk Turkish Empire of Asia minor (that is, modern day Turkey), Iran, and parts of Afghanistan. Soon after his accession, he woke up one day with a dagger next to his bed, firmly planted in the ground. In one version of the legend, a letter informed him that the dagger thrusted in hard ground was preferable to the alternative, being plunged in his soft breast. It was a characteristic message of the Hashishins, a.k.a. Assassins, making him aware of the need to leave them alone, say send them birthday gifts, or hire their actors for his next movie. Sultan Sanjar had previously snubbed their peace negotiators; so they moved to phase two of a demonstrably well planned out process. They convinced him that his life was in their hands and that, crucially, he didn’t have to worry if he did the right thing –they had proven to him that they were both in control and reliable. Indeed Sanjar and the Assassins had a happy life ever-after.
You will note that no explicit verbal threat was issued. Verbal threats reveal nothing other than weakness and unreliability. Remember, once again, no verbal threats.
The Assassins were a 11th-14th C. sect related to Shiite Islam and was (and still is through its reincarnations) violently anti-Sunni.
The ethical system of the Assassins is that political assassination help prevent war; threat of the dagger-by-your-bed variety are even better for bloodless control[1]. They supposedly aimed at sparing civilians and people who were not directly targeted. The methods focusing on precision meant to reduce what is now called civilian “collateral damage”.
However skilled historians and observers of martial history would recommend the exact opposite: in politics, you should have to pay more to make it look intentional.
In fact, what Captain Weisenborn, Pasquale Cirillo, and I discovered, when we tried doing a systematic study of violence (debunking a confabulatory thesis by the science writer Steven Pinker), was that war numbers have been historically inflated… by both sides. Both the Mongols and their panicky victims had an incentive to exaggerate, which acted as a deterrent. Mongols weren’t interested in killing everybody; they just wanted submission, which came cheaply though terror. (발췌)

Review: ‘Against Empathy,’ or the Right Way to Feel Someone’s Pain
By JENNIFER SENIOR DEC. 6, 2016
Mr. Bloom, a psychology professor at Yale, is having none of it. Empathy, he argues, is “a poor moral guide” in almost all realms of life, whether it’s public policy, private charity or interpersonal relationships. “Empathy is biased, pushing us in the direction of parochialism and racism,” he writes. Offended? He’s just warming up. “It is innumerate,” he continues, “favoring the one over the many. It can spark violence; our empathy for those close to us is a powerful force for war and atrocity toward others.”
His point, rather, is that empathy is untempered by reason, emanating from the murky bayou of the gut. He prefers a kind of rational compassion — a mixture of caring and detached cost-benefit analysis. His book is a systematic attempt to show why this is so. (발췌)
Why Empathy Is Bad
By Jesse Singal
In 1995, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published a revealing study, which centered on a story about a dying child. A team led by the University of Kansas psychologist C. Daniel Batson told a group of study participants about a charity called the Quality Life Foundation, which worked to improve the quality of life of terminally ill kids, and explained that they, the subjects, were going to hear an interview with an applicant.
The subjects were prepared for the interview in one of two ways. Half were told, “While you are listening to this interview, try to take an objective perspective toward what is described. Try not to get caught up in how the child who is interviewed feels; just remain objective and detached.” That was the so-called low-empathy condition. In the high-empathy condition, subjects were told, “Try to imagine how the child who is interviewed feels about what has happened and how it has affected this child’s life. Try to feel the full impact of what this child has been through and how he or she feels as a result.”
Then, everyone heard the same interview, which was from a (not real) “very brave, bright 10-year-old” named Sheri Summers. Her painful illness was explained in detail, and after they heard about it the subjects were asked whether they would move Sheri up the wait list, past the other terminally ill kids who were viewed as higher priority, who would have to wait longer to enjoy the Quality Life Foundation’s offerings as a result. “The effect was strong,” writes the Yale University psychologist Paul Bloom, describing the experiment in his new book Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion. “Three-quarters of the subjects in the high-empathy condition wanted to move her up, as compared to one-third in the low-empathy condition. Empathy’s effects, then, weren’t in the direction of increasing an interest in justice. Rather, they increased special concern for the target of the empathy, despite the cost to others.” (발췌)
우리나라만큼 감정 이입이 자주 오용되는 사례도 드물다. 세월호 사태와 정신대 문제 역시 좌파들이 과도한 감정 이입을 유도하고, 이어서 선전선동으로 시위와 난동으로 이어간 경우이다.
-----------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
대상과 인간에 대하여 가지는 자신의 감정을 저도 모르게 다시 그 대상과 인간에게 옮겨 넣고 마치 자신과 같은 감정을 가지고 있는 듯이 느끼는 것을 감정이입이라 한다. 예를 들어, 흐르는 시냇물은 늘 소리를 내며 흘러가지만, 감정을 느끼는 주체자가 슬플 때는 냇물 소리가 슬프게 느껴져 처량한 소리를 낸다고 하고, 주체자가 기쁠 때는 명랑한 소리를 내며 흘러간다고 느끼는 것을 말한다.
예를 들면, 한 독자가 소설의 주인공과 자기를 동일시(同一視)하여 그 주인공이 웃었다는 대목에 이르러서는 자기도 같은 마음에서 따라 웃었다는 것, 또는 무섭게 찡그린 배우의 얼굴을 보면서 관객이 자기도 모르게 얼굴을 찡그리는 것 등은 다 감정이입의 결과이다.
공감(共感, sympathy)은 주로 인간끼리(또는 인격이 부여된 상상적인 행위자에게) 동류(同類)의식을 가지는 것을 뜻한다. 즉 <햄릿>을 보면서 내가 감정적으로 햄릿이 되는 것이 아니라, 그의 고민을 동정하고 불쌍히 여기는 제3자의 감정이 공감인 것이다. 감정이입이 결합시키는 것이라면 공감은 나란히 서게 하는 것이다. (발췌)

Against Empathy
Paul Bloom
출처: 보스톤 리뷰
Strong inclination toward empathy comes with costs. Individuals scoring high in unmitigated communion report asymmetrical relationships, where they support others but don’t get support themselves. They also are more prone to suffer depression and anxiety. Working from a different literature on “pathological altruism,” Barbara Oakley notes in Cold-Blooded Kindness (2011), “It’s surprising how many diseases and syndromes commonly seen in women seem to be related to women’s generally stronger empathy for and focus on others.”
The problems that arise here have to do with emotional empathy—feeling another’s pain. This leads to what psychologists call empathetic distress. We can contrast this with non-empathetic compassion—a more distanced love and kindness and concern for others. Such compassion is a psychological plus.
It is worth expanding on the difference between empathy and compassion, because some of empathy’s biggest fans are confused on this point and think that the only force that can motivate kindness is empathetic arousal. But this is mistaken. Imagine that the child of a close friend has drowned. A highly empathetic response would be to feel what your friend feels, to experience, as much as you can, the terrible sorrow and pain. In contrast, compassion involves concern and love for your friend, and the desire and motivation to help, but it need not involve mirroring your friend’s anguish.
Or consider long-distance charity. It is conceivable, I suppose, that someone who hears about the plight of starving children might actually go through the empathetic exercise of imagining what it is like to starve to death. But this empathetic distress surely isn’t necessary for charitable giving. A compassionate person might value others’ lives in the abstract, and, recognizing the misery caused by starvation, be motivated to act accordingly.
Summing up, compassionate helping is good for you and for others. But empathetic distress is destructive of the individual in the long run.
Consider the life of a bodhisattva, an enlightened person who vows not to pass into Nirvana, choosing instead to stay in the normal cycle of life and death to help the masses. How is a bodhisattva to live? In Consequences of Compassion (2009) Charles Goodman notes the distinction in Buddhists texts between “sentimental compassion,” which corresponds to empathy, and “great compassion,” which involves love for others without empathetic attachment or distress. Sentimental compassion is to be avoided, as it “exhausts the bodhisattva.” Goodman defends great compassion, which is more distanced and reserved and can be sustained indefinitely.
He was then asked to put himself in an empathetic state and was scanned while doing so. Now the appropriate circuits associated with empathetic distress were activated. “The empathic sharing,” Ricard said, “very quickly became intolerable to me and I felt emotionally exhausted, very similar to being burned out.” (발췌)

Peter Navarro Writes Deficits "Could Put US National Security In Jeopardy"
But running large and persistent trade deficits also facilitates a pattern of wealth transfers offshore. Warren Buffett refers to this as “conquest by purchase” and warns that foreigners will eventually own so much of the U.S. that Americans will wind up working longer hours just to eat and to service the debt.
Today, after decades of trade deficits and a mass migration of factories offshore, there is only one American company that can repair Navy submarine propellers—and not a single company that can make flat-panel displays for military aircraft or night-vision goggles. Meanwhile, America’s steel industry is on the ropes, its aluminum industry is flat on its back, and its shipbuilding industry is gathering barnacles. The U.S. has begun to lose control of its food-supply chain, and foreign firms are eager to purchase large swaths of Silicon Valley’s treasures.
Much of Wall Street and most economists simply don’t care. But to paraphrase Mike Pence on the 2016 campaign trail, the people of Fort Wayne know better. The analysts at the Pentagon know better, too. That’s why, for both economic and national-security reasons, it is important to bring America’s trade back into balance—through free, fair and reciprocal trade. (발췌)

How The Cultural Marxists Of The Frankfurt School Subverted American Education
by Beau Albrecht
Perhaps you’ve wondered why so many college professors are so left-wing. In your freshman year, you might have noted with dread—as I did—some of your fellow students “going with the flow” and molding their beliefs to fit in. Perhaps one of them was you, before you grew up and snapped out of it! The Frankfurt School is the answer to why so many universities are Social Justice Warrior factories.
The origins of the Frankfurt School
They began as a Communist think tank at the Goethe University Frankfurt. They noted that the masses didn’t rise up during the First World War to overthrow capitalism; instead, the citizens fought for their countries. Only Russia became Communist, a place they didn’t expect Communism to take hold. Since they took the writings of Marx as gospel, all this was quite shocking. They decided they needed to prepare the way by breaking down traditional social ties—country, family, and religion—and afterwards the masses would embrace rule by a global Communist state. That’s not working out too well lately, but all that’s another story.
They found themselves unwelcome in Germany during the 1930s, and one of the two reasons was that all of them were Communists. They moved to the USA, settling down in Columbia University. How did they repay the country that gave them refuge? By subverting it, of course. If all this sounds like McCarthyist alarmism, note that the Communists themselves claim them.
Because the proletariat just wasn’t interested in revolution, they rebranded Communism, taking out the elements of class struggle, and adding contributions from Freudian theory. This was a mistake; Communism emphasized hard work and heroism; that much is respectable even if the rest of the ideology is badly flawed. If you compare the Motherland Calls statue to Trigglypuff, you’ll understand.
How cultural Marxism took root
They had two strategies: ensconcing themselves into academia, and the criticism of society (hence “critical theory”). Ultimately, this meant ideological subversion and basically badgering society to death. (It seems incredible that they did so much without picking up a single rifle.) They stressed moral relativism and the “question everything” atmosphere that became the 1960s counterculture zeitgeist. A few of their books, such as Eros and Civilization by Herbert Marcuse and The Authoritarian Personality by Theodor Adorno, have become classics in academia.
Many of their students graduated and became professors elsewhere, just in time for the 1960s. Young people are at the most impressionable time of their lives, so indoctrinating college students was a very effective strategy. It’s little wonder that campuses became hotbeds of student activism! College draft deferments surely helped them reach more students sympathetic to their message.
Further, the ideological seeds of the Frankfurt School—along with the Communist Party USA—fell onto fertile ground. There were several groups that they—cultural Marxists and garden variety Communists—infiltrated and subverted, for instance:
•There was already a feminist movement, mostly moderate and mostly simply about equal rights (a goal which was nearly complete by then). Under leftist influence, second wave feminism began, which was anything but moderate and effectively about deconstructing society.
•There was already a beatnik counterculture. With a little encouragement, this became a much larger youth counterculture, the hippies. Having a significant toehold in academia put the Critical Theory folks in a very good position to influence the young Baby Boomers.
•There was already a civil rights movement, which the Communists had put a lot of effort into influencing. This included figures such as W.E.B. DuBois, Paul Robeson, Stanley Levison (MLK’s top advisor), and Frank Marshall Davis (called “Pops” in Obama’s autobiography).
•The gay movement was heavily influenced in the beginning by the Mattachine Society, founded by Harry Hay, of which most members were Communists.
Connecting the dots
Earlier I had assumed that the Frankfurt School was an independent movement, with no particular encouragement or guidance from the USSR. Actually, it’s a little more complicated than that. Franz Leopold Neumann, identified by the Venona decrypts as a Soviet spy, was in contact with leading figures Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and also the spy Hede Massing, the wife of Paul Massing (another Frankfurt school figure). Later, he became a professor at Columbia University, where all his buddies were. Does the picture look a little clearer now?
Here’s another gem I found. KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov noted that only 15% of the KGB’s efforts were spying; the other 85% went into ideological subversion; this is what he was assigned to do in India, until he got disgusted with it and escaped. He explained,
“It’s a great brainwashing process, which goes very slow[ly] and is divided [into] four basic stages. The first one [is] demoralization; it takes from 15-20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which [is required] to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxist-Leninist ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged, or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism (American patriotism).
The result? The result you can see. Most of the people who graduated in the sixties (drop-outs or half-baked intellectuals) are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, [and the] educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind[s], even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people… the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To [rid] society of these people, you need another twenty or fifteen years to educate a new generation of patriotically-minded and common sense people, who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.
Memetic warfare
Even though the Soviet Union fell apart twenty five years ago, the memes they launched are still out there. Many of the students the Frankfurt School taught became teachers and professors, who taught another batch of teachers and professors, and they’re now indoctrinating our youth. Some others became ensconced in the media or in government positions. This is what Italian Communist theoretician Antonio Gramsci called “the long march through the institutions.” Only a fraction identifies with Communism, but they still practice the party line even if few are aware of where their views originated.
If you’ve ever wondered where all of today’s Social Justice Warriors came from, now you know the story.
