日本では古くから、山の神様、田んぼの神様、トイレの神様(厠神)、台所の神様（かまど神）など、米粒の中にも神様がいると考えられてきた。少なくとも古墳時代には、現在の神社につながる自然崇拝の痕跡がある。
『古事記（712年）』には、天照大御神が天岩戸に隠れて世界から光が失われた際に八百万の神が集まって相談したという記述があり、『延喜式（928年）』の『六月晦大祓』には、八百万の神が相談して皇孫が豊葦原ノ瑞穂ノ国を治めるように決定したと書いてある。

If a girl who skips school out of fear of harassment, that threatens my dignity. If a little boy dies in a war that he didn’t start and never understood, part of me dies with him.
But today, that promise of a connected world is giving way to division, fear, and conflict. We’re starting to believe those who think differently, vote differently, or pray differently, whether they are across the ocean or sitting right next to us, are not just wrong. We mistakenly see them as evil. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
What I’ve gained most from Harvard isn’t just calculus or regression analysis. It’s to sit with discomfort, listen deeply, and stay soft in hard times. Because if we still believe in a shared future, let us not forget those who we label as enemies, they too are human. In seeing their humanity, we find our own.
In the end, we do not rise by proving each other wrong. We rise by refusing to let one another go.

Not knowing when the Dawn will come,
I open every Door,
Or has it Feathers, like a Bird,
Or Billows, Like a Shore –

As with every civilization-changing invention and discovery the emergence and development of AGI does and will raise many ethical, safety, and societal concerns, as it is AGI that has the power to overcome humans.

We will build, posture, and sustain a strong denial defense along the FIC. We will also work closely with our allies and partners in the region to incentivize and enable them to do more for our collective defense, especially in ways that are relevant to an effective denial defense. Through these efforts, we will make clear that any attempt at aggression against U.S. interests will fail and is therefore not worth attempting in the first place. That is the essence of deterrence by denial.
In this manner, DoW will provide the military strength for President Trump’s visionary and realistic diplomacy, thereby setting conditions for a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific that allows all of us—the United States, China, and others in the region—to enjoy a decent peace. At the same time, in the process of erecting a strong denial defense along the FIC, DoW will ensure that the Joint Force always has the ability to conduct devastating strikes and operations against targets anywhere in the world, including directly from the U.S. Homeland, thereby providing the President with second-to-none operational flexibility and agility.

Services make up over 72% of U.S. GDP. Globalisation, digitisation, and labour market evolution have all conspired to favour services over products in the grand scheme of the economy. In software, the first wave of servicification came with SaaS, but look closely and the mirage of services is dispelled, revealing underneath it nothing more than a billing model change. When Adobe ended perpetual licenses for Creative Suite in 2013 and moved to Creative Cloud, it didn’t change the product, only how you paid for it. Microsoft Office followed suit, with the entire industry doing the same soon enough.
Behind the SaaS, we’re still paying for tools users have to learn, manage, and operate, just now the product is rented monthly. SaaS is service in name, product in nature and all-round ARR-machine in intent.
