Foreword: This dialogue piece is designed as an accessible and thought-provoking entry point into philosophical and ethical inquiry. With a gentle, almost whimsical tone, it invites teenagers—and curious minds of any age—to reflect on complex questions of life, death, technology, and freedom. By presenting these themes through a fictional conversation between a tin robot and a magical vase, it encourages readers to engage critically, explore diverse viewpoints, and start meaningful discussions with friends, family, or educators. This fictional dialogue: In a quiet corner of a library. On a dusty shelf, an old tin robot and a delicate blue vase with intricate patterns rest. When night falls and the place empties…… The Boundaries of Existence – A Philosophical Dialogue Between a Tin Robot and a Magical Vase

Do you know your country’s recidivism rate (though the definition may vary by country) or the cost of running prisons?While some reforms like privatization have been introduced, there are still major challenges, including protecting the human rights of incarcerated people. We may never eliminate all accidents or mistakes, but if people truly understood ethics, they might not even want to commit crimes in the first place. So, why does ethics fail to work?

But could you break the 10-second barrier in a 100-meter race if you were the only competitor? Stimulating each other through rivalry has its positive aspects. The negative side is simple. Just keep looking at things on Instagram that make you envious. You can do the same… Through Education, Let’s Reclaim Enjoyable Learning and Our True Selves

Summary Beyond merely winning competitions, it’s about ensuring that competition is fair, with safety nets and opportunities for those who fail to try again, maximizing human potential across society. To achieve this, we argue for the necessity of exploring ethical foundations that transcend time and culture, and incorporating them into education and social systems. Thought experiments like the Mitochondrial Eve and logical analysis of meritocracy demonstrate intellectual courage to question existing common sense and authority rather than accepting them unquestioningly, and to re-examine fundamental principles. Building a Society for True Competition When considering ethics, knowledge from traditional disciplines such as theology and Buddhism is useful. The problems with arbitrary application… Beyond a Single Win: Building Sustainable Competitiveness with Ethics and Education
