「人の悪口を言う者は、単純に人のせいにしてばかりの自己中心的な人物なので、関わらない方がよい」という心理学者の言葉がある。
私は、人類の悪口を吐く深海魚だ。


A psychologist once said, “One who speaks ill of others is simply a self-centered person who blames others and should not be involved.”
I am a deep-sea fish who speaks ill of mankind.

「あなたは大切にされるべき人間であり、雑に扱われることに慣れてはいけません」と楽観主義者どもは言う。
汚れ仕事をあてがい、薄給で雑に扱っても生存できる無数の愚民がいてこそ、現代人は過去の王族ですら成し得なかった生活ができているというのに。


“You are a person to be cherished and be not used to being treated poorly,” say the optimists.
It is precisely because there are countless foolish people who can survive even if they are given dirty work and treated poorly that modern people are able to live a life that even the royal families of the past could not achieve.

横たわることで―すなわち死者と同じ姿勢をとることで―人間は生のあわただしい活動から初めて距離を置くことができる。
姿勢だけでも死者と同じでなければ得られぬ安静。


By lying down - that is, by assuming the same posture as the dead - man can for the first time distance himself from the fraught activities of life.
Rest that can only be obtained if the posture alone is the same as that of the dead.

若さとは、失墜や老衰、そして死の存在を感知も思考もせずに人生を生きていられることである。
では若くして死に匹敵するほどの失墜に遭った人間は?
肉体が老いるよりも早く、つまり老い先よりも絶望的に長い余生を生きる羽目になる。


Youth is the can living of life without the perception or thought of the presence of failure, senility, and death.
So what about those who have failure their lives at a young age, comparable to death?

環境への適応を果たせなかった者が自殺を望むことはごく自然なことだ。
…たとえその詳細が、己が労働生産性の低さという、資本主義的なものであったとしても。


It is quite natural that those who have failed to adapt to their environment would wish to commit suicide.

生存権。それは適応と淘汰という生命と環境の根幹原則を覆い隠すことで人類の持続可能性と利益を最大化しようと目論んだ過去の思想家たちが唱えた、大いなる欺瞞である。


The Right to life. It is the great deception advocated by thinkers of the past who sought to maximize human sustainability and profit by masking the fundamental principles of life and the environment: adaptation and selection.

過去の思想家や革命家たちは、自分たちが築こうとしていた“社会”なるものが適応と淘汰とは無縁の“楽園”ではなく、それらを包含する“環境”に成り下がるとは微塵も考えていなかったようだ。
生存と自由のもとに幸福を追求する権利は存在するが、自由でも幸福でもない人間が安楽な死を追求する権利についてはいまだ議論が続き結論が出ていないのが何よりの証拠だ。


The thinkers and revolutionaries of the past did not seem to have the slightest idea that the “society” they were trying to build would not be a “paradise” unrelated to adaptation and selection, but to be degraded “environment” encompass them.
The right to pursue happiness based on survival and freedom exists, but the fact that the right of a person who is neither free nor happy to pursue an easy death is still debated and inconclusive is the best evidence of this.
