The "Baka no Kabe" (The Wall of Fools) series has exceeded 7 million copies in total sales, and the latest book "Jinsei no Kabe" (The Wall of Life) has quickly become a bestseller. Dr. Takeshi Yoro is an anatomist, a huge insect lover, and a man with unique thoughts that fascinate many. After suffering from cancer last year when he turned 86, he has reportedly deepened his contemplations on people and life even further.
This program is designed to ask Dr. Yoro thoroughly about "life."
What is the meaning of "living" in the first place? What should people cherish as they live? Why can't we live exactly as we want to? How should we move forward when we hit the walls of life? We approach these questions through Dr. Yoro's perspective.
In this episode, profound words backed by Dr. Yoro's culture and experience are spoken, including topics like "Dr. Yoro had a dialogue with Takanohana," "How did biodiversity emerge?," "The emptiness of words without real feeling," "Diversity is not in the world of words, but something sensory," "Which is more important, humans or bears? What about the diversity of bears?," "People are formed through many circumstances," and "You should assume that the person in front of you cannot possibly be thinking the same thing." Please listen during your commute or in the spare time between work and chores.
