(巻三十二)西吹けば東にたまる落葉かな(蕪村)

無気力、怠惰な今日この頃で、今朝も怠惰で無気力だ。
OB会の会報新年号が来て各氏の簡単な近況と挨拶が生の形で、つまり事務局に返信された短冊をそのまま貼り付けた形で、掲載されていた。超高齢者の手書きとなるとお歳を召されたなあと思うものもあるが、どうだと威張っているとも思える。
つちふるや嫌な奴との生きくらべ(藤田湘子)
後期だと概ねまだ生きてますといった内容になりワープロが主流になる。前期になると内容が俗になり現役自慢、虚勢が鼻につくが諦観達観組と虚脱組も少しは見える。この辺まではまだ相手にしてくれる孫がいるらしく、孫話しの幸せ自慢が多い。私は音信不通組だ。
着ぶくれて敢へて世間に物言ず(菖蒲あや)
新年号に年会費四千円の振込取扱票が同封されていて、仙ちゃんも幹事を降りたことだし、どうしようかと考えたがまだ縁は切らず大黒さまとお稲荷さんへの御賽銭のつもりで納付することにした。
そんなわけで、午後の散歩は郵便局にした。振込取扱もATM、口座引き落とし、現金受付で料金が変わるとのこと。口座もガードも管財人が握っているから現金しかない。
願い事－生死直結で叶えてください。コワクナイ、コワクナイ。

I think it's quite clear that all sorts of mechanisms underlay our decisions about consumer products are outside of our awareness. So if I ask you why exactly did you buy for example a can of Coke rather than a can of Pepsi, you might tell me a story about why you think you made that decision. But that story that you're talking might have nothing to do with the true reasons why you actually prefer Coke over Pepsi. So it's been well established in psychology that we only have very limited access to the mechanisms underlying our decisions and reasons the true reasons that govern our ???(1)??? choices. But with brain science,
at least, it might be possible to reveal these unconscious preferences by using brain scanners.

John explains that while those brain scanners can pinpoint activity in brain regions, and we do know what activity some of those regions are responsible for, they are not as accurate as some neuro-marketers would have us believe. And there is another problem.

We think a mind is private, and if you use brain scanners to invade this private space of our thoughts, they should be very strong justification for doing so and I don't think that kind of profit of a company is something that would can justify that.

The second point is question of control, because if you read the aims of the neuro-marketing people are, you often see terms like “overpowering the will”, “making people addicted to the product”, “developing craving for the product”, e.t.c. So ultimately, what you are trying to do, if it ???(2)??? work, is to design a product that people cannot resist. And I would say this is definitely unethical, because it violates different aspects of free will, which is that people can make their decision on their own terms ???(3)??? not the kind of manipulated from external interests.
