More From Haruki Murakami

I think that one of the visions that is closest to reality is the cardboard city in the subway station in tokyo, which is based very closely on a series of documentary photographs of people living like that and of the contents of the boxes. those are quite haunting because tokyo homeless people reiterate the whole nature of living in tokyo in these cardboard boxes, they're only slightly smaller than tokyo apartments, and they have almost as many consumer goods. it's a nightmare of boxes within boxes.
Reality Thinking Cities
I remember my very first encounter with japan. at that time, i was deputy mayor of st petersburg. out of nowhere, japan's consul general in st petersburg came to my office and said japan's ministry of foreign affairs wanted to invite me to japan. i was very surprised because i had nothing to do with japan except being a judoka. this was an opportunity to visit tokyo and a couple of other cities. and, you know, a capital is a capital everywhere: there is the official script and certain protocol. it is always easier to talk in the provinces, the conversation is more natural.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.
Beer Epidemics Ideas
The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.
Circles Community Together
Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons; twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. it's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.
