It was getting warmer and no wind in the afternoon, so I walked to Kasai Castle Ruins. Go out to Rind Road 7 via the south gate of Kameao Elementary School, proceed in the direction of Kasai, crossing National Highway No. 6 at the pedestrian bridge parallel to Aoto Overpass, and from there it is only about 100 meters along Ring Road 7. It took 15 minutes get to that place named Gotenyama Park. When you think of Gotenyama, you can think of the luxurious Gotenyama near Shinagawa, but Gotenyama, though the namesake, which is geographically lower than the river level and in Aoto, Katsushika-ku, is like “Moon and soft shell turtle” =”two things that superficially similar but completely different, night and day, chalk and cheese.”. It seems that the remains of Kasai Castle were discovered during the construction of Ring Road 7, but it was too late to preserve and the remains were divided by the trunk road. The planner of the park probably wanted to make it a magnificent Gotenyama Park, but in the situation where it was divided by the road and the private houses were crowded, this was probably the best. Perhaps to make up for that, a large stone monument was erected on the site, inscribed "Remembering Kasai Castle Ruins." According to the commentary board next to it explaines that this Kasai castle had many battles at the end of the Muromachi period as it as at the strategic point of the power struggle between Odawara Hojo clan and Koga Kobo, the Kanto region governor sent by Shogun in Kyoto. In addition, it seems that this place was also the residence of Aoto Fujitsuna, who often appears in monetary theory text books, and his stone monument stands also. Just in case, I am not suggesting you to visit this humble place, anyway.
Advice sought after:
I listen to and dictate BBC programs (podcasts) to deter and delay dementia. And oftentimes I come to words and phrases which I cannot catch. It would be appreciated if you can tell me what they are saying and also correct my incorrect catching in the attempted transcript.
Thanks in advance.

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.
