輝くために必須な不完全さ
最近、偉人たちの黒歴史に関する本を読んでいる。ピカソ、アインシュタイン、モーツァルト、夏目漱石といった偉人の方々たち、偉人の方々の生活を詳しく調べていくと、大変面白い。 偉人の方々、実は完璧ではなく、むしろその不完全さが彼らの魅力を形成していることに気づかされる。
例えば、ピカソは非常に多くの女性関係を持ち、通常じゃ絶対に旦那にはしたくないようなエピソード多数、夏目漱石は一晩で大金を使い果たし、モーツァルトも賭け事に熱中し、財政的に困窮することがしばしばあったという。
これらのエピソードを見ると、偉人の方々の輝きは、むしろ不完全さにこそあるのではないかと感じる。SNSが発達し、最近では少しの過ちでも芸能人やアーティストが厳しく叩かれることが多いけれど、偉人たちもその不完全さや矛盾にもかかわらず、それぞれの分野で大きな功績を残している。輝く理由がその完璧さにあるのではなく、むしろ欠けている部分にあるのだとすれば、これは非常にもったいない。
そもそも、機械から見れば、ノイズ的な不要な情報も、実はそれこそが人間らしさの本質であり、面白み。合理的なことは、AIがやってくれるAI新時代において、人間の非合理性や感情の揺らぎが、独自の価値を持つ時代が来るのかもしれない。

I recently read a book about the black history of great people. It is very interesting to find out more about the lives of great people, people like Picasso, Einstein, Mozart and Soseki Natsume. You realise that these great people were not really perfect, but their imperfections were the basis of their charm.
For example, Picasso had many relationships with women and had many episodes that would normally make him an unwanted husband, Soseki Natsume spent a lot of money in one night, and Mozart was a betting man and often found himself in financial difficulties.
These episodes make me feel that the brilliance of great people lies in their imperfections, and although social networking sites have developed and celebrities and artists are often harshly criticised these days for even the slightest mistake, great people have also achieved great things in their respective fields despite their imperfections and inconsistencies. If the reason for their brilliance lies not in their perfection but in their imperfections, it is a great waste.
In the first place, from the machine’s point of view, noisy and unnecessary information is actually the essence of humanity and the fun of it. In the new age of AI, where AI will do the rational things for us, the time may come when human irrationality and emotional fluctuations will have their own unique value.
