Do you know Erdős, a genius in the history of mathematics who published the second highest number of research papers after Gauss? He demonstrated outstanding talent as a mathematician, but was also known as a "weirdo". "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers" portrays the life of this unorthodox mathematician who traveled around the world staying at the homes of mathematicians.

When you think of 'genius scientists,' you might imagine Einstein, Newton, or Hawking, but when it comes to a “genius scientist full of unscientific episodes,” Feynman stands out. His world-renowned bestseller “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!' is a collection of essays that hardly touch on 'science."

The Christian cathedral, "Urakami Cathedral," was partially destroyed and turned into ruins by the atomic bombing. However, for some reason, it was not preserved as the "Atomic bomb dome of Nagasaki" and was dismantled. "ナガサキ　消えたもう一つの「原爆ドーム」(Nagasaki's vanished 'Atomic bomb dome)'" delves into the little-known history surrounding Urakami Cathedral and portrays the strength of America.

The book "カルト脱出記(Escape from Cults)" was written by an author who was a "Jehovah's Witness" and avid Bible student in Japan. Through their Bible studies, the author was able to break free from "brainwashing".

I used to think of Greta, an environmental activist, as an "angry person" or a "righteous person." But that's not the case. She took action because she couldn't bear the "anxiety." Through the movie "I Am Greta," let's get to know the real Greta and her strong feelings.

For example, the reason people "value" a mere piece of paper called a "100 dollar bill" is because society's members live in the same "communal fantasy." Ridley Scott director's film "The Last Duel" depicts the social conventions that "rape does not cause pregnancy" and "determine the winner of a trial by a duel," and the strength of "communal fantasy" that is still relevant today.
