Broadcast contents
There are currently no plans to rebroadcast the show,https://www.nhk.jp/p/ts/1M3MYJGG6G/blog/bl/pp2BabPyzp/bp/pzZJMWpvAz/ You can follow the outline on NHK On Demand. It would be nice if it could be viewed by everyone at the same time, stopping and adding commentary as you watch. After all, it's a high-context program where the illustrations in the background actually have a lot of meaning.
Below are some of these.
About the painting of ancient Greek democracy in the background
Behind Ienaga's statement, "Web3 will set us free," there is an image of ancient Greek democracy, but what he was trying to say is based on Book 8 of Plato's "The Republic."
"This 'freedom' is the best thing a democracy has," he said. "From its insatiable demand for it and its indifference to everything else, it becomes corrupted by anarchy and gives birth to tyrannical dictatorships."
(Source) Plato, "The Republic," Book 8
"Tyranny does not arise in any other form of government than democracy. Out of the greatest degree of freedom comes the most barbarous and highest degree of slavery."
Illustration of a mouse and gears
This is a metaphor for Chaplin's Modern Times. It is a metaphor for the DAO, in which humans are driven by inorganic gears.
About the first appearance of Web 2.0
Tim O'Reily's Web 2.0 is said to have been created in 2005 in many sources, and the show also says it was created in 2005, but in reality it was created at the latest in 2004. There is a mention of this in a November 2004 Read/Write Web Interview.
Read/Write Web Interview: Web 2.0 — November 2004. In Part 1 of this Read/Write Web interview, I talk with Richard MacManus about the Web 2.0 Conference, the relationships between Apple and the web and Microsoft and the web, and data ownership and lock-in. In Part 2, we explore business models for web content, including discussion of RSS. And Part 3 focuses on eBooks, social networking, collaboration, and Remix culture.
