サンクコストの呪いから自由になろう ― 職人の生き方に潜む罠

This episode examines the “sunk cost trap” hidden within the admired image of the Japanese craftsman. While dedication, endurance, and unwavering commitment are often praised as virtues, they can also become mechanisms that trap individuals in paths they can no longer leave. By reframing craftsmanship not as a moral story but as a structural model, the talk explains how past investments of time, effort, and identity quietly restrict future choices. True freedom, it argues, is not denying the past but being able to discard it when necessary. The episode invites listeners to rethink pride, perseverance, and what it really means to choose freely.
