Our goal is to create a society in which everyone in the world can live a "happy" and enriched life.

"My dear friends, when we die, let us make the world a little better than when we were born" - Kanzo Uchimura, "The Greatest Legacy for Future Generations". 

​

Everyone wants to live a happy life. However, it is very difficult to be aware of one's own "happiness" and to continue to act in accordance with one's ideal way of life. This is because it is impossible to always make decisions in accordance with one's goals in daily life due to the "cognitive limitations" of human characteristics and the increasingly complex and sophisticated society. The "Prisoner's Dilemma" in game theory is a simple expression of the difficulty for human beings to move toward maximum happiness. 

 

Therefore, it is one of the most important themes of our time to build a system that supports human judgment and decision-making through advanced research and information technology. However, "social reality" for individuals and groups is affected by people's perceptions and the surrounding environment, and there are countless realities for the same event, so this is also not a simple matter.

In addition to event-based analysis based on life science and social systems theory, a system that extends to actor networks and the emergence of philosophy will be important in the construction of such system. 

​

If that society is realized, people's feelings and actions will generally match, and they will be able to feel that they are living a "spontaneous life. The "spontaneous life" of each individual will eventually lead to the progress of the universe (a living organism that continues to seek its own growth), and the happiness of the people in the universe will be pushed even higher. At that time, many people will recognize that they are part of the universe and that the universe itself is themselves, and we may be one step closer to the realization of a society where people can build together while recognizing their mutual obligations and rights. 

 

In Japan, there is a culture, such as Kado (flower arrangement) and Kendo (swordsmanship), that builds a well-balanced system based on a detailed understanding and respect for human sensibilities, values, and the providence of nature. Our goal is to actualize a social system with such a worldview. To a world full of stories (Ever Storia) that resonate forever.
