Talking with a Leading Expert in Medical Futures Studies, What is the Image of a Nation Fit for the “Undead Era”? Guest Shinya Oku
I had the opportunity to talk with Shinya Oku, a specialist in the new field of medical futurology.
All the stories were intensely stimulating and enjoyable.
For example, where is the identity of the brain? Talking about.
If we break down the brain carefully, it seems to consist of a hard disk (storage device) and algorithms (arithmetic processing) that think and make decisions.
Even though our memories of the past may fade as we become blurry, if our brains are making the right decisions, that may be all right. Of course, the best state is to have both, but it is more fun to live if you retain the ability to judge things properly than if you get old and have hard disk damage, such as memory fading. So maybe the brain’s identity is in the algorithm.
With the development of medical care and longevity, the most important theme for society is to keep both body and mind healthy. The key to mental health lies in how to reduce the area of stress in one’s entire life.
Please read it. It’s really interesting.

Oku: “Trying to remember is stressful. By not being able to remember, you become negative, thinking that you are a blur, and that stress is at least absolutely bad. We know a lot about stress, including oxidative stress and other material things, so basically we can say that stress should be as short as possible, even for one second. Like not doing work you don’t like, or not meeting people you don’t like. You mentioned earlier that you are a “health nut,” but in the end it is an integral part of your stress state at the time, and the more of it you have, the worse it is. So when you’re stressed, it’s important to reduce the overall amount of stress as much as you can.”
