- #1生徒 (とにお)1/2On the weekend I'm planning to watch the World Cup. Honestly I'm a baseball guy, not soccer, so I don't really follow it. But Japan is playing, so it's interesting.2/2My best friend is so into soccer -- he watches every single game of the national team. Me, I'm just along for the ride. This Sunday Japan plays, but it's like 2 in the morning for me.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2I'll watch some World Cup this weekend. I'm a baseball guy really, so I don't follow soccer closely -- but Japan's playing, so it's fun. My friend's obsessed; I'm just tagging along.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2Sunday's game is 2am my time, though.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Wait, do you even follow soccer, or is it rugby and cricket for you? I'm half-watching for Japan, half because my friend would disown me otherwise. Who do you actually root for when it's not your sport?
- #2講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2Unfortunately none of that applies to me -- I work seven days a week, so I just have to keep track of which day it is. At least the weather's warmed up. South Africa drew with Czechia last night -- not a bad result, we're still alive.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2But I'm not a great supporter of our soccer team either; I'm more rugby and cricket.
- #3生徒 (とにお)1/2I'm just watching with my friend, just for fun, for the company. It's not about the result. My friends are very serious, but me -- whether Japan win or lose, I don't care.2/2It's not the end of the world, right? But from his point of view, it is the end of the world.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1For me it's just fun -- watching with a friend, for the company. Win or lose, I don't care; it's not the end of the world. For my friend, though, it absolutely is.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Funny how the same match is a Tuesday for me and an apocalypse for him. Do you get that with rugby -- that one mate whose whole mood rides on the score? I could never let a game own me like that.
- #4講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1Mind you, I enjoy watching Japan -- I've supported them, teaching so many Japanese people. The only trouble is they need to learn how to take penalty kicks. Last World Cup they did incredibly well, and then it came to a shootout and they were terrible.
- #5生徒 (とにお)Yeah, that's confidence -- the mentality. It's very hard. It's not about skill, it's about how you are at that important moment.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Right -- that's mentality, not skill. It comes down to how you hold up in the big moment.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Isn't that the cruelest part of sport? You train for years, then it's decided by who blinks first. Can that even be coached, or are some people just built for the pressure?
- #6講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1Okay, do you want to have a look at this article about plastic junk? I've read a fair amount about this Pacific garbage patch. The idea's good, but to my mind it's more important to stop the stuff getting into the sea in the first place.
- #7生徒 (とにお)1/2I already read the article, so this time I won't read it out loud -- I want to get straight into the discussion. To summarize: some tech company is trying to solve it from the root cause. You can't clear every piece of garbage from the ocean -- it's a cat-and-mouse game.2/2So you pinpoint the root cause. It comes from rivers -- they say 1,000 rivers is specifically contributing this mess. The article names Malaysia, Vietnam, Guatemala, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and the US.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2I've read it, so let's skip reading aloud and get into the discussion. The gist: a company's attacking it at the root. You can't scoop every piece out -- it's cat and mouse.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2So they target the source: about 1,000 rivers cause most of it. They name Malaysia, Vietnam, Guatemala, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and the US.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2Here's what nags me -- chasing garbage in open ocean is whack-a-mole forever. The river idea is smarter. But isn't even that downstream of the real culprit?ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2Nobody's naming the companies that made the plastic.
- #8講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1Conscious of it, but Taishi, if you check the figures, Japan is one of the biggest contributors of plastic waste.
- #9生徒 (とにお)1/2It's a good idea, but they didn't cut the deepest root cause. They say rivers are the cause, so there are solar-powered automated ships collecting the garbage before the garbage reaching to the ocean. But we have to consider that plastic is created by companies for our convenience.2/2A few years ago plastic bags were free; now every country, including Japan, makes you pay a small amount. That's a good step.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2Good idea, but it still misses the deepest cause. They put solar-powered ships on the rivers to catch garbage before it reaches the ocean. But plastic exists because companies make it for our convenience.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2Bags used to be free; now Japan and others charge for them -- a good step.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1The ships treat the symptom, right? The disease is upstream -- companies pumping out plastic because it's cheap and we love convenient. Charging shoppers for bags is cute, but shouldn't the maker pay, not us?
- #10生徒 (とにお)1/2Japan is a big contributor to the generating the plastic bag because we are so used to eating outside. Convenience stores and supermarkets are everywhere, within walking distance. I'm in my office now, ten seconds from a convenience store, and within a one-kilometer radius there are more than ten of them -- especially in Tokyo, it's dense.2/2At lunch we casually grab an onigiri or a bento, and it's all plastic containers. We use plastic so casually and don't put much effort into recycling.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2We're huge on plastic because we eat out constantly. Convenience stores are everywhere -- I've got more than ten within a kilometer of my office. Lunch is a quick onigiri or bento, all in plastic.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2We use it so casually and barely think about recycling.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Picture it -- ten konbini in one kilometer, each a little plastic factory. We've built our whole day around convenience. Does South Africa have anything close to that density, or is that a uniquely Japanese trap?
- #11講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2No, I just wanted to put up a file -- turns out I'm horribly wrong on the statistics. These are the top countries that emit ocean plastics, and Japan is actually way, way down. I thought they were much higher.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2It's the Philippines, India, Malaysia, China where it's all coming from.
- #12生徒 (とにお)1/2Right. Japan is huge volume-wise -- plastic is everywhere, used daily -- but it doesn't go to the ocean, because we don't throw our garbage into rivers. These countries -- the Philippines, India -- basically consider the river as a garbage disposal, casually throwing things in every day.2/2In Japan we're very conscious about disposal; we don't do that. I don't blame the people -- it's just not taught.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Exactly -- Japan's volume is massive, but it doesn't reach the ocean, because we don't dump in rivers. Places like the Philippines and India treat the river as a bin. I don't blame the people; it's just not taught there.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1So it's not how much you make, it's where it ends up. Japan hoards plastic neatly; others let the river carry it off. Makes me wonder -- is that discipline, or just that we've got the infrastructure to hide it?
- #13生徒 (とにお)1/2Who funds the Ocean Cleanup? Maybe government subsidies, or an NGO running on government money -- I'm not sure. But a lot of investment is appearing, because solving environmental issues is very appealing now.2/2You get investment for that cause. It's a bit of a sneaky business too -- not all about caring for the world. It's lucrative to make money or grab attention while looking like you're doing a good thing.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2Who pays for it? Maybe government subsidies or an NGO -- not sure. But money's pouring in, because 'saving the planet' attracts investment now.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2It's partly a business: lucrative to profit and grab attention while looking virtuous.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1I'm a bit cynical here -- 'green' is the cheapest halo you can buy right now. Some of these outfits genuinely care; some just love the optics and the funding. How do you tell the real ones from the ones milking the cause?
- #14講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1Actually the Ocean Cleanup is almost 100% paid for by donations -- from private people, companies, and to some extent governments. I find that interesting. Someone like Elon Musk could happily pay for the whole damn thing himself.
- #15生徒 (とにお)Yeah, I read Elon Musk became a trillionaire. We're on the same page -- a person like Musk getting more and more power and influence over the populace is very dangerous and scary.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1I read he became a trillionaire. We're on the same page -- one man gaining that much power over the public is genuinely dangerous.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1A trillion. That's not wealth anymore, it's a sovereign state with one citizen. Does it scare you more that he has the money, or that millions cheer him on while he gets it?
- #16生徒 (とにお)1/2It's just snowballing. He's powerful and a big figure, so everyone invests -- it snowballs. It's not that he's competent or wise or great at building companies from scratch.2/2It's that he attracts so much attention from everywhere, so everybody's interested in his next move.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2It just snowballs. He's huge, so everyone piles in, and it grows. It's not really competence -- it's attention.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2Everyone's watching his next move.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2Right -- it's a feedback loop, not genius. Fame buys investment, investment buys more fame. Strip away the spotlight and is there even a there there?ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2I honestly can't tell anymore.
- #17生徒 (とにお)1/2I listen to English podcasts daily -- Joe Rogan. He's a great podcaster, interviewing people from all kinds of fields. A macho alpha guy, into UFC.2/2I don't care about his politics. But when Musk appears on Rogan, every appearance gets millions of views. Wall Street people have to watch his comments -- he's casually talking about shooting stuff and drinking, but there could be significance to it.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1I listen to Joe Rogan daily -- great interviewer, macho UFC guy, but I don't care about his politics. When Musk goes on, it pulls millions of views. Wall Street has to watch, because his casual chat might secretly move markets.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2It's surreal, right? A guy half-joking about guns and drinking on a podcast, and traders parse every word for a signal. When did that become market research?ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2Do you listen to Rogan at all, or is that too American for you?
- #18生徒 (とにお)1/2I agree. One people shouldn't have such huge influence. At the end of the day, he's just a human -- not perfect.2/2There's no one perfect in this world.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1I agree -- no single person should hold that much sway. He's just a human at the end of the day, and nobody's perfect.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1And here's the kicker -- we don't even ask him to be wise. He's no philosopher, just rich. Why do we hand the loudest mic to the richest guy instead of the wisest one?
- #19講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2Have you read much about his actual personality and background? He was born in South Africa, has extreme right-wing views. His family are a weird bunch -- even his father is very strange.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2That people with this kind of instability have gained such huge influence through money is really very disturbing.
- #20生徒 (とにお)1/2I think Bill Gates is already accomplished his business mission, and now he's at the retiring stage, just caring about the world with his money -- doing great stuff for humanity. I agree with you. But Elon Musk is a very questionable character.2/2He definitely doesn't consider other people.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Bill Gates has already done his business chapter; now he's using his money for the world -- genuinely good work. But Musk is a questionable character who clearly doesn't think about anyone else.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Gates earned the right to play saint -- he built the thing, then turned to malaria nets. Musk skipped that second act entirely. Do you think a person like that ever graduates into giving back, or is it just not in him?
- #21生徒 (とにお)It's one drop in the ocean. Drop in the ocean -- literally a drop in the ocean.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1It's a drop in the ocean -- literally, this time.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2Ha -- 'a drop in the ocean' about an ocean cleanup. Accidental poetry. Though isn't every big problem solved by a million tiny drops?ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2Maybe the cliche is wrong.
- #22生徒 (とにお)That's a silver lining -- great hope. I wish Elon Musk would realize this is the kind of thing you should do -- not rockets, not SpaceX.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Still, a silver lining. I just wish Musk would pour money into this instead of rockets.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Imagine the trillionaire ego-tripping on cleaning the Pacific instead of colonizing Mars. Same vanity, better planet. Why is leaving Earth sexier to these guys than fixing it?
- #23生徒 (とにお)1/2Thank you. I'll enjoy my weekend, and you -- work, work, work. I really respect your hustle.2/2I have to learn from you, because I'm a bit lazy.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Thanks -- I'll enjoy my weekend while you work, work, work. I genuinely respect the hustle; I should learn from you, I'm a bit lazy.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Seven days a week, teaching then selling bottles on Sunday -- honestly, that's a grind I couldn't hack. Do you actually like it, or is it just what survival looks like out there?
- #24講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2I'll be teaching tomorrow and selling my bottles on Sunday, hopefully. Eventually it becomes a bit wearing -- I need a cup of tea right now, I think. All right, thanks for chatting, Taishi.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2See you.
