言語化不要論

In this episode, I examine the recent popularity of the idea of “verbalization” in Japan. While many people now emphasize the importance of expressing thoughts clearly, Japanese society has traditionally valued harmony, restraint, and reading the atmosphere rather than openly stating opinions. I explore how the rise of social media and online platforms has changed this dynamic, making confident speakers appear more knowledgeable and persuasive, even when their ideas may lack substance. The episode questions whether verbalization is truly a new essential skill, or whether it has simply become fashionable in the digital age. Ultimately, I suggest that words alone should not replace real experience and knowledge.
