Why Kyoto University's "Idiots" Are Necessary: Survival Strategies in a Chaotic World (Shueisha Shinsho) The foundation of knowledge is shaking. Behind this, isn't there a misunderstanding, misconception, and prejudice towards academia in society...? Modern people tend to think they can predict anything. However, the natural world is not pre-arranged harmony, but unpredictable chaos, and to survive, we need "unconventional idiots = eccentrics." The "most Kyoto University-like" Kyoto University professor, whose "Eccentric Lecture" caused a huge sensation, reveals the surprising philosophy and significance of "idiots," and how to nurture them, derived from cutting-edge theories such as chaos theory and scale-free networks. ◆Table of Contents◆ Preface: The Crisis at Kyoto University is a Crisis of Academia Chapter 1: What is Unpredictable "Chaos"?
