"content": "Gaming\n\nClassic SEGA Game 'Lunar' Offers Hope in an Age of Authoritarianism\n\nA tale of rebellion and renewal in a fantasy world\n\nSega has had an amazing run over the last few years. Both longstanding franchises, such as Like a Dragon and Persona, and new titles, like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Unicorn Overlord, have released to overwhelmingly high praise. But in addition to new games, Sega has also started to re-release some of their older, classic games, like the original Sonic series in 2022's Sonic Origins. They've also released reimaginings of games like Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove and Streets of Rage 4, and there are more very notable games on the way, including Golden Axe, Shinobi, and even Ecco the Dolphin.\n\nI distinctly remember missing out on one particular game that was only available on the Sega CD, because I didn't have one of those. That game was Lunar: The Silver Star by developer Game Arts. I remember seeing ads for it and feeling an immediate connection to the game. Up until that point, most role-playing games employed a somewhat generic fantasy motif, but Lunar stood out to me with celestial, geometrical, and indigenous-inspired patterns and iconography, and unconventional, nightmare-inspired monsters.\n\nEvery time I caught a glimpse of the game's logo and art at the local toy store or games shop, I was disappointed that I couldn't play. So, it's probably not hard to imagine how over-the-moon I was when I tuned into the Tokyo Game Show broadcast last fall and learned that the Lunar series was next up in the recent string of Sega games being remastered for modern consoles, in the Lunar Remastered Collection.\n\nOn its surface, Lunar matches the playful tone of other early Genesis games with wise-cracking main characters, characters dressed up in chicken costumes, and hot bath scenes (for some reason). But my suspicion, even back as an eight-year-old, that there was something special about this game was exactly right. Lunar turns out to be a special game.\n\nLunar begins with pretty typical storytelling for similar Japanese role-playing games of its era. A young man, named Alex, seeks the title of Dragonmaster as it will presumably allow him to bring some sort of vague justice to his world. Alex's journey takes center stage but something mysterious is going on with his friend, Luna, who the player doesn't know much about apart from her natural born ability to sing.\n\nAs Alex's story progresses, a more ominous one is also constructed. A group of people, revealed later as \"The Vile Tribe\", are kidnapping songstresses from across the world for some nefarious purpose. These two threads play out primarily through quirky team member dialogue and occasional cut-scenes that elaborate on and elevate the sprite-based exposition. If I remember correctly, the cut-scenes were quite novel at the time.\n\nThe main cast is immediately charming. There's an ego-maniac magician who doesn't shut up about how great he is, and a hot head who's secretly in love with another member of the crew. There's a drunkard, and a responsible older sister type who's weighed down by the burden of a role that's suddenly thrust upon her. Their relationship to each other, and the other characters in the world, evolve quite naturally and the story unfolds with many interesting twists and turns.\n\nAs Alex and team journey across the world in search of legendary dragons, they encounter \"the Magic Emperor\" and his devotees. At every turn, the Vile Tribe ambushes the team, manipulates them, and otherwise just gets in their way. After finding the legendary dragons, the team sets out to confront their adversaries head-on in a barren wasteland called the Frontier.\n\nUpon arriving, they find a subservient class of miners working a desolate land. The miners are busy constructing a massive fortress-like weapon known as the Grindery, in hopes that their service will grant them passage to something called \"The Blue Star\". It is evident that the Vile Tribe and the miners are trapped in a position of complete obedience to the Magic Emperor.\n\nLunar has a lot to say about this power dynamic and how people fall into patterns of oppression. The miners look inhuman, with a goblin-like look to them. You get the impression that they've been isolated from the rest of society and worked intensely for a long time. They are uninterested in what the group is trying to accomplish. They are just trying to survive.\n\nSoon thereafter, the team discovers the Magic Emperor's ultimate goal. His goal is the destruction of the magical flying city of Vane, and the subsequent domination of the planet, by any means necessary. The Magic Emperor's plan to fuel the Grindery by harnessing the power of the legendary dragons, along with the abduction of Luna, drive the story forward to its most crucial event.\n\nAt the heart of the story lies an ideological rift between three important characters: Althena, a benevolent goddess; Dyne, a former Dragonmaster; and Ghaleon, the brutal Magic Emperor. Althena chooses to give up her divine power so that humanity can take control of its own destiny. In contrast, Ghaleon clings to a philosophy of control, convinced that lasting peace can only be forged through absolute authority and force. In a powerful scene, Dyne sides with Althena, and gives up his life as the Dragonmaster in support of the goddess.\n\nAlthena's decision to give up her position as a goddess over humanity and to be reborn as a human child is a profound statement of free will. Her choice, reminiscent - of course - of the biblical incarnation of Jesus, stands in direct opposition to Ghaleon's doctrine of power as the only path to stability. Lunar reminds us that society has yet to learn this lesson, that attempting to maintain control over people turns out to be its own sort of self-defeating enslavement.\n\nIt is in this dynamic that the game's central message comes together. That our innate power doesn't come from some inner well, but that it is formed through being in community with and supporting one another. The team's deep connection enables them to overcome Ghaleon's power of coercion and control. And, while Ghaleon's ideology of peace through strength is based off of a misunderstanding of Althena and Dyne's actions, Alex and team only reach their full potential after having a full understanding of why those actions were necessary. Lunar's story ends with an incredibly inspiring message about our ability to come together and determine our own future, even in the face of unrelenting evil.\n\nThe Lunar Remaster Collection turns out to be a great way to experience Lunar: The Silver Star, later renamed Lunar: Silver Star Story. The collection contains remastered versions of both the first game and its sequel, Eternal Blue. The collection also includes quality-of-life features that significantly enhance the experience of the originals. They ease the difficulty of returning to somewhat dated gameplay mechanics, stuff like no indication of enemy health, clunky character movement, and non-intuitive menu systems.\n\nOne of these features is an auto-battle option that allows the player to sit back and watch as the game plays out the combat for them. I found this most useful to grind out additional levels against low-level enemies, but also generally helped me move through the game faster. Also, the game allows you to increase the speed of all combat animations. Much like listening to a podcast on 1.5x or 2x speed, it allows the player to bypass countless hours of slow battle animation and get to the more interesting stuff sooner. These features work together to respect the time of the player. This is particularly beneficial to me as someone who has significantly less time to play games at this stage in my life.\n\nLunar is an absolute charm. In almost every way, Lunar lives up to be the game that I wanted it to be back when I couldn't play it in the mid-90s. It's difficult for me to say if the game would have resonated with eight-year-old me in the way that it does today, but the themes of empathy and community and care for the environment align well with what I was learning from David the Gnome or Fraggle Rock. Overall, Lunar's core message of hope during times of fear and uncertainty feel both timeless and remarkably poignant in 2025.\n\nI've only had the opportunity to play through the first half of the collection, but if the first game is any indication of the second, it's a very easy one to recommend. Lunar easily earns its spot as one of my favorite classic Sega series of its time.\n\nVerdict: Classic\n\nI played the Lunar Remastered Collection on Xbox Series with a code provided by the publisher.",

Althena chooses to give up her divine power so that humanity can take control of its own destiny. In contrast, Ghaleon clings to a philosophy of control, convinced that lasting peace can only be forged through absolute authority and force. In a powerful scene, Dyne sides with Althena, and gives up his life as the Dragonmaster in support of the goddess.\\n\\nAlthena's decision to give up her position as a goddess over humanity and to be reborn as a human child is a profound statement of free will. Her choice, reminiscent - of course - of the biblical incarnation of Jesus, stands in direct opposition to Ghaleon's doctrine of power as the only path to stability. Lunar reminds us that society has yet to learn this lesson, that attempting to maintain control over people turns out to be its own sort of self-defeating enslavement.\\n\\nIt is in this dynamic that the game's central message comes together. That our innate power doesn't come from some inner well, but that it is formed through being in community with and supporting one another. The team's deep connection enables them to overcome Ghaleon's power of coercion and control. And, while Ghaleon's ideology of peace through strength is based off of a misunderstanding of Althena and Dyne's actions, Alex and team only reach their full potential after having a full understanding of why those actions were necessary. Lunar's story ends with an incredibly inspiring message about our ability to come together and determine our own future, even in the face of unrelenting evil.\\n\\nThe Lunar Remaster Collection turns out to be a great way to experience Lunar: The Silver Star, later renamed Lunar: Silver Star Story. The collection contains remastered versions of both the first game and its sequel, Eternal Blue. The collection also includes quality-of-life features that significantly enhance the experience of the originals. They ease the difficulty of returning to somewhat dated gameplay mechanics, stuff like no indication of enemy health, clunky character movement, and non-intuitive menu systems.\\n\\nOne of these features is an auto-battle option that allows the player to sit back and watch as the game plays out the combat for them. I found this most useful to grind out additional levels against low-level enemies, but also generally helped me move through the game faster. Also, the game allows you to increase the speed of all combat animations. Much like listening to a podcast on 1.5x or 2x speed, it allows the player to bypass countless hours of slow battle animation and get to the more interesting stuff sooner. These features work together to respect the time of the player. This is particularly beneficial to me as someone who has significantly less time to play games at this stage in my life.\\n\\nLunar is an absolute charm. In almost every way, Lunar lives up to be the game that I wanted it to be back when I couldn't play it in the mid-90s. It's difficult for me to say if the game would have resonated with eight-year-old me in the way that it does today, but the themes of empathy and community and care for the environment align well with what I was learning from David the Gnome or Fraggle Rock. Overall, Lunar's core message of hope during times of fear and uncertainty feel both timeless and remarkably poignant in 2025.\\n\\nI've only had the opportunity to play through the first half of the collection, but if the first game is any indication of the second, it's a very easy one to recommend. Lunar easily earns its spot as one of my favorite classic Sega series of its time.\\n\\nVerdict: Classic\\n\\nI played the Lunar Remastered Collection on Xbox Series with a code provided by the publisher.\"}]",

"content": "Gaming\n\nClassic SEGA Game 'Lunar' Offers Hope in an Age of Authoritarianism\n\nA tale of rebellion and renewal in a fantasy world\n\nSega has had an amazing run over the last few years. Both longstanding franchises, such as Like a Dragon and Persona, and new titles, like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Unicorn Overlord, have released to overwhelmingly high praise. But in addition to new games, Sega has also started to re-release some of their older, classic games, like the original Sonic series in 2022's Sonic Origins. They've also released reimaginings of games like Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove and Streets of Rage 4, and there are more very notable games on the way, including Golden Axe, Shinobi, and even Ecco the Dolphin.\n\nI distinctly remember missing out on one particular game that was only available on the Sega CD, because I didn't have one of those. That game was Lunar: The Silver Star by developer Game Arts. I remember seeing ads for it and feeling an immediate connection to the game. Up until that point, most role-playing games employed a somewhat generic fantasy motif, but Lunar stood out to me with celestial, geometrical, and indigenous-inspired patterns and iconography, and unconventional, nightmare-inspired monsters.\n\nEvery time I caught a glimpse of the game's logo and art at the local toy store or games shop, I was disappointed that I couldn't play. So, it's probably not hard to imagine how over-the-moon I was when I tuned into the Tokyo Game Show broadcast last fall and learned that the Lunar series was next up in the recent string of Sega games being remastered for modern consoles, in the Lunar Remastered Collection.\n\nOn its surface, Lunar matches the playful tone of other early Genesis games with wise-cracking main characters, characters dressed up in chicken costumes, and hot bath scenes (for some reason). But my suspicion, even back as an eight-year-old, that there was something special about this game was exactly right. Lunar turns out to be a special game.\n\nLunar begins with pretty typical storytelling for similar Japanese role-playing games of its era. A young man, named Alex, seeks the title of Dragonmaster as it will presumably allow him to bring some sort of vague justice to his world. Alex's journey takes center stage but something mysterious is going on with his friend, Luna, who the player doesn't know much about apart from her natural born ability to sing.\n\nAs Alex's story progresses, a more ominous one is also constructed. A group of people, revealed later as \"The Vile Tribe\", are kidnapping songstresses from across the world for some nefarious purpose. These two threads play out primarily through quirky team member dialogue and occasional cut-scenes that elaborate on and elevate the sprite-based exposition. If I remember correctly, the cut-scenes were quite novel at the time.\n\nThe main cast is immediately charming. There's an ego-maniac magician who doesn't shut up about how great he is, and a hot head who's secretly in love with another member of the crew. There's a drunkard, and a responsible older sister type who's weighed down by the burden of a role that's suddenly thrust upon her. Their relationship to each other, and the other characters in the world, evolve quite naturally and the story unfolds with many interesting twists and turns.\n\nAs Alex and team journey across the world in search of legendary dragons, they encounter \"the Magic Emperor\" and his devotees. At every turn, the Vile Tribe ambushes the team, manipulates them, and otherwise just gets in their way. After finding the legendary dragons, the team sets out to confront their adversaries head-on in a barren wasteland called the Frontier.\n\nUpon arriving, they find a subservient class of miners working a desolate land. The miners are busy constructing a massive fortress-like weapon known as the Grindery, in hopes that their service will grant them passage to something called \"The Blue Star\". It is evident that the Vile Tribe and the miners are trapped in a position of complete obedience to the Magic Emperor.\n\nLunar has a lot to say about this power dynamic and how people fall into patterns of oppression. The miners look inhuman, with a goblin-like look to them. You get the impression that they've been isolated from the rest of society and worked intensely for a long time. They are uninterested in what the group is trying to accomplish. They are just trying to survive.\n\nSoon thereafter, the team discovers the Magic Emperor's ultimate goal. His goal is the destruction of the magical flying city of Vane, and the subsequent domination of the planet, by any means necessary. The Magic Emperor's plan to fuel the Grindery by harnessing the power of the legendary dragons, along with the abduction of Luna, drive the story forward to its most crucial event.\n\nAt the heart of the story lies an ideological rift between three important characters: Althena, a benevolent goddess; Dyne, a former Dragonmaster; and Ghaleon, the brutal Magic Emperor. Althena chooses to give up her divine power so that humanity can take control of its own destiny. In contrast, Ghaleon clings to a philosophy of control, convinced that lasting peace can only be forged through absolute authority and force. In a powerful scene, Dyne sides with Althena, and gives up his life as the Dragonmaster in support of the goddess.\n\nAlthena's decision to give up her position as a goddess over humanity and to be reborn as a human child is a profound statement of free will. Her choice, reminiscent - of course - of the biblical incarnation of Jesus, stands in direct opposition to Ghaleon's doctrine of power as the only path to stability. Lunar reminds us that society has yet to learn this lesson, that attempting to maintain control over people turns out to be its own sort of self-defeating enslavement.\n\nIt is in this dynamic that the game's central message comes together. That our innate power doesn't come from some inner well, but that it is formed through being in community with and supporting one another. The team's deep connection enables them to overcome Ghaleon's power of coercion and control. And, while Ghaleon's ideology of peace through strength is based off of a misunderstanding of Althena and Dyne's actions, Alex and team only reach their full potential after having a full understanding of why those actions were necessary. Lunar's story ends with an incredibly inspiring message about our ability to come together and determine our own future, even in the face of unrelenting evil.\n\nThe Lunar Remaster Collection turns out to be a great way to experience Lunar: The Silver Star, later renamed Lunar: Silver Star Story. The collection contains remastered versions of both the first game and its sequel, Eternal Blue. The collection also includes quality-of-life features that significantly enhance the experience of the originals.

Both longstanding franchises, such as Like a Dragon and Persona, and new titles, like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Unicorn Overlord, have released to overwhelmingly high praise. But in addition to new games, Sega has also started to re-release some of their older, classic games, like the original Sonic series in 2022's Sonic Origins. They've also released reimaginings of games like Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove and Streets of Rage 4, and there are more very notable games on the way, including Golden Axe, Shinobi, and even Ecco the Dolphin.\\n\\nI distinctly remember missing out on one particular game that was only available on the Sega CD, because I didn't have one of those. That game was Lunar: The Silver Star by developer Game Arts. I remember seeing ads for it and feeling an immediate connection to the game. Up until that point, most role-playing games employed a somewhat generic fantasy motif, but Lunar stood out to me with celestial, geometrical, and indigenous-inspired patterns and iconography, and unconventional, nightmare-inspired monsters.\\n\\nEvery time I caught a glimpse of the game's logo and art at the local toy store or games shop, I was disappointed that I couldn't play. So, it's probably not hard to imagine how over-the-moon I was when I tuned into the Tokyo Game Show broadcast last fall and learned that the Lunar series was next up in the recent string of Sega games being remastered for modern consoles, in the Lunar Remastered Collection.\\n\\nOn its surface, Lunar matches the playful tone of other early Genesis games with wise-cracking main characters, characters dressed up in chicken costumes, and hot bath scenes (for some reason). But my suspicion, even back as an eight-year-old, that there was something special about this game was exactly right. Lunar turns out to be a special game.\\n\\nLunar begins with pretty typical storytelling for similar Japanese role-playing games of its era. A young man, named Alex, seeks the title of Dragonmaster as it will presumably allow him to bring some sort of vague justice to his world. Alex's journey takes center stage but something mysterious is going on with his friend, Luna, who the player doesn't know much about apart from her natural born ability to sing.\\n\\nAs Alex's story progresses, a more ominous one is also constructed. A group of people, revealed later as \\\"The Vile Tribe\\\", are kidnapping songstresses from across the world for some nefarious purpose. These two threads play out primarily through quirky team member dialogue and occasional cut-scenes that elaborate on and elevate the sprite-based exposition. If I remember correctly, the cut-scenes were quite novel at the time.\\n\\nThe main cast is immediately charming. There's an ego-maniac magician who doesn't shut up about how great he is, and a hot head who's secretly in love with another member of the crew. There's a drunkard, and a responsible older sister type who's weighed down by the burden of a role that's suddenly thrust upon her. Their relationship to each other, and the other characters in the world, evolve quite naturally and the story unfolds with many interesting twists and turns.\\n\\nAs Alex and team journey across the world in search of legendary dragons, they encounter \\\"the Magic Emperor\\\" and his devotees. At every turn, the Vile Tribe ambushes the team, manipulates them, and otherwise just gets in their way. After finding the legendary dragons, the team sets out to confront their adversaries head-on in a barren wasteland called the Frontier.\\n\\nUpon arriving, they find a subservient class of miners working a desolate land. The miners are busy constructing a massive fortress-like weapon known as the Grindery, in hopes that their service will grant them passage to something called \\\"The Blue Star\\\". It is evident that the Vile Tribe and the miners are trapped in a position of complete obedience to the Magic Emperor.\\n\\nLunar has a lot to say about this power dynamic and how people fall into patterns of oppression. The miners look inhuman, with a goblin-like look to them. You get the impression that they've been isolated from the rest of society and worked intensely for a long time. They are uninterested in what the group is trying to accomplish. They are just trying to survive.\\n\\nSoon thereafter, the team discovers the Magic Emperor's ultimate goal. His goal is the destruction of the magical flying city of Vane, and the subsequent domination of the planet, by any means necessary. The Magic Emperor's plan to fuel the Grindery by harnessing the power of the legendary dragons, along with the abduction of Luna, drive the story forward to its most crucial event.\\n\\nAt the heart of the story lies an ideological rift between three important characters: Althena, a benevolent goddess; Dyne, a former Dragonmaster; and Ghaleon, the brutal Magic Emperor. Althena chooses to give up her divine power so that humanity can take control of its own destiny. In contrast, Ghaleon clings to a philosophy of control, convinced that lasting peace can only be forged through absolute authority and force. In a powerful scene, Dyne sides with Althena, and gives up his life as the Dragonmaster in support of the goddess.\\n\\nAlthena's decision to give up her position as a goddess over humanity and to be reborn as a human child is a profound statement of free will. Her choice, reminiscent - of course - of the biblical incarnation of Jesus, stands in direct opposition to Ghaleon's doctrine of power as the only path to stability. Lunar reminds us that society has yet to learn this lesson, that attempting to maintain control over people turns out to be its own sort of self-defeating enslavement.\\n\\nIt is in this dynamic that the game's central message comes together. That our innate power doesn't come from some inner well, but that it is formed through being in community with and supporting one another. The team's deep connection enables them to overcome Ghaleon's power of coercion and control. And, while Ghaleon's ideology of peace through strength is based off of a misunderstanding of Althena and Dyne's actions, Alex and team only reach their full potential after having a full understanding of why those actions were necessary. Lunar's story ends with an incredibly inspiring message about our ability to come together and determine our own future, even in the face of unrelenting evil.\\n\\nThe Lunar Remaster Collection turns out to be a great way to experience Lunar: The Silver Star, later renamed Lunar: Silver Star Story. The collection contains remastered versions of both the first game and its sequel, Eternal Blue. The collection also includes quality-of-life features that significantly enhance the experience of the originals. They ease the difficulty of returning to somewhat dated gameplay mechanics, stuff like no indication of enemy health, clunky character movement, and non-intuitive menu systems.\\n\\nOne of these features is an auto-battle option that allows the player to sit back and watch as the game plays out the combat for them. I found this most useful to grind out additional levels against low-level enemies, but also generally helped me move through the game faster. Also, the game allows you to increase the speed of all combat animations. Much like listening to a podcast on 1.5x or 2x speed, it allows the player to bypass countless hours of slow battle animation and get to the more interesting stuff sooner. These features work together to respect the time of the player. This is particularly beneficial to me as someone who has significantly less time to play games at this stage in my life.\\n\\nLunar is an absolute charm. In almost every way, Lunar lives up to be the game that I wanted it to be back when I couldn't play it in the mid-90s. It's difficult for me to say if the game would have resonated with eight-year-old me in the way that it does today, but the themes of empathy and community and care for the environment align well with what I was learning from David the Gnome or Fraggle Rock. Overall, Lunar's core message of hope during times of fear and uncertainty feel both timeless and remarkably poignant in 2025.\\n\\nI've only had the opportunity to play through the first half of the collection, but if the first game is any indication of the second, it's a very easy one to recommend. Lunar easily earns its spot as one of my favorite classic Sega series of its time.\\n\\nVerdict: Classic\\n\\nI played the Lunar Remastered Collection on Xbox Series with a code provided by the publisher.\"}]",

"content": "The Election No One Talks About: A Young Woman's Fight in Rural Japan\n\nWhat happens when you run for office in the Japanese countryside? Here's what I experienced - rumors, silence, and a system built for old men.\n\nHi everyone,\n\nI'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Japan, working globally to support individuals navigating cross-cultural and societal challenges.\n\nThrough the lens of an Asian woman, this space is where I share psychological insights, personal reflections, and stories that illuminate quiet struggles, gendered expectations, and the unspoken truths hidden in everyday life.\n\n🏡 Running for Office in My Hometown\n\nLast autumn, I ran in the local election in my countryside hometown in Japan. As a young woman, it was a powerful but painful experience.\n\nMany people around the world imagine Japan as modern, polite, and progressive. But what I experienced - especially as a woman entering politics - was very different.\n\nThis is not just my story. It's the reality many Japanese women face but rarely speak about.\n\n👴 A Political System Built by and for Old Men\n\nMy city has 24 local politicians.\n\n22 are older men.\n\nThe only two women come from powerful backgrounds - one from a large corporation, the other affiliated with a religious group.\n\nIn theory, politics and religion should be separate. But in small towns, reality looks very different. Business, religion, and politics are tightly connected, especially within Japan's major political parties.\n\n🗣️ Rumors, Guilt, and Social Pressure\n\nDuring my campaign, other candidates spread rumors that I had committed a crime. When people around me started asking about it, I realized how much those lies had shaped public opinion.\n\nI was disappointed. Not just in the false accusations - but in how easily people believed them without asking questions.\n\n📉 Politics That Hasn't Evolved in 50 Years\n\nWe have budget plans for youth that were created 50 years ago and have never been updated.\n\nEven those working on these outdated programs admit they don't meet current needs - but they continue because they benefit personally from keeping things as they are.\n\n🧓 Blind Loyalty Over Real Policy\n\nIn my neighborhood, one man has held office for over 40 years. When I ran for election from the same district, he got angry because I hadn't greeted him formally - as if respecting the hierarchy was more important than ideas or policy.\n\nMany neighbors admitted to me they vote for him out of guilt or tradition, not because he's done anything for them.\n\nThey said:\n\n\"I just vote for him because I always have. It feels like my duty.\"\n\n❌ We Don't Vote for Passion, Skill, or Ideas\n\nI was shocked to see how many politicians lacked real knowledge or vision.\n\nThey were skilled at small talk and social networking, not leadership or policy.\n\nMost candidates simply shouted their names through loudspeakers during the day - a tradition that shares no useful information with voters.\n\nYou can't learn about their policies, values, or background this way.\n\n📱 I Tried a Different Way\n\nI refused to follow those outdated campaign methods. I used social media only - to share real thoughts and visions for change. I wanted to speak directly to young people who feel alienated from politics.\n\nI also tried to organize a youth-focused political festival so voters could meet and question candidates in a meaningful way.\n\nBut most older politicians weren't interested.\n\nThey didn't want change.\n\nThey didn't attend.\n\nThey preferred the safe routine of older generations voting without asking too many questions.\n\n👥 Politics for the Few, Not the People\n\nIn the end, I lost the election - by just five votes.\n\nThe winners? Mostly older men backed by companies and religious groups.\n\nI realized something:\n\nLocal politics isn't for the people - it's for personal networks.\n\n👩🎤 I Became a Role Model Anyway\n\nEven though I didn't win, my candidacy still mattered.\n\nIt showed young women that we, too, can run for office.\n\nThat our voices can be heard, even if the system is not ready for us yet.\n\nBut the truth is, becoming a politician in Japan is incredibly hard for women.\n\nThe system was built by men, and we're expected to survive inside that system just to change it.\n\nIf we want to live as our true selves, we often have to give up too much just to enter the game.\n\n🧾 Endless Paperwork, Outdated Rules\n\nThe barriers are everywhere.\n\nTo run for election, we must fill out stacks of paperwork, follow ancient rules, and play a game designed 50 years ago.\n\nOf course young people don't feel inspired to vote.\n\nThey've never seen a system that reflects them.\n\nOur political world was created by and for the past.\n\nIt's not open to vulnerability, change, or diversity.\n\n💬 So, What About Your Country?\n\nWhat is your local political culture like?\n\nCould you imagine running for office in your hometown?\n\nWould your neighbors support you - or silently push you out?\n\nIs the reality I've shared believable to you as Japan?\n\n🪩 My Final Thought\n\nToday, I no longer believe politics is the most effective path to change in Japan.\n\nThere are too many invisible walls, and too much pain required to stay true to myself.\n\nBut I still believe in change.\n\nI just think we may have to build it outside the system first.\n\nThank you for reading.\n\nI hope you found something here that resonates - something helpful, inspiring, or empowering.\n\nIf you're ready to explore your own path and reclaim your life in the face of societal pressures, you're warmly invited to book a private session with me:\n\n👉 1:1 Global Sessions - Mental Clarity & Life Transformation\n\nAnd if you're planning a trip to Japan, we can also create a personalized, therapeutic journey to uncover the deeper, often unseen side of Japanese culture:\n\n🌸 Original Tours - Explore the Hidden Layers of Japan\n\nIf you'd like more light, daily insights and reflections, feel free to follow me on Instagram for videos, photos, and behind-the-scenes thoughts:\n\n📸 Instagram - @sumiresuusato\n\nSee you in the next article.",

As a young woman, it was a powerful but painful experience.\\n\\nMany people around the world imagine Japan as modern, polite, and progressive. But what I experienced - especially as a woman entering politics - was very different.\\n\\nThis is not just my story. It's the reality many Japanese women face but rarely speak about.\\n\\n\\ud83d\\udc74 A Political System Built by and for Old Men\\n\\nMy city has 24 local politicians.\\n\\n22 are older men.\\n\\nThe only two women come from powerful backgrounds - one from a large corporation, the other affiliated with a religious group.\\n\\nIn theory, politics and religion should be separate. But in small towns, reality looks very different. Business, religion, and politics are tightly connected, especially within Japan's major political parties.\\n\\n\\ud83d\\udde3\\ufe0f Rumors, Guilt, and Social Pressure\\n\\nDuring my campaign, other candidates spread rumors that I had committed a crime. When people around me started asking about it, I realized how much those lies had shaped public opinion.\\n\\nI was disappointed. Not just in the false accusations - but in how easily people believed them without asking questions.\\n\\n\\ud83d\\udcc9 Politics That Hasn't Evolved in 50 Years\\n\\nWe have budget plans for youth that were created 50 years ago and have never been updated.\\n\\nEven those working on these outdated programs admit they don't meet current needs - but they continue because they benefit personally from keeping things as they are.\\n\\n\\ud83e\\uddd3 Blind Loyalty Over Real Policy\\n\\nIn my neighborhood, one man has held office for over 40 years. When I ran for election from the same district, he got angry because I hadn't greeted him formally - as if respecting the hierarchy was more important than ideas or policy.\\n\\nMany neighbors admitted to me they vote for him out of guilt or tradition, not because he's done anything for them.\\n\\nThey said:\\n\\n\\\"I just vote for him because I always have. It feels like my duty.\\\"\\n\\n\\u274c We Don't Vote for Passion, Skill, or Ideas\\n\\nI was shocked to see how many politicians lacked real knowledge or vision.\\n\\nThey were skilled at small talk and social networking, not leadership or policy.\\n\\nMost candidates simply shouted their names through loudspeakers during the day - a tradition that shares no useful information with voters.\\n\\nYou can't learn about their policies, values, or background this way.\\n\\n\\ud83d\\udcf1 I Tried a Different Way\\n\\nI refused to follow those outdated campaign methods. I used social media only - to share real thoughts and visions for change. I wanted to speak directly to young people who feel alienated from politics.\\n\\nI also tried to organize a youth-focused political festival so voters could meet and question candidates in a meaningful way.\\n\\nBut most older politicians weren't interested.\\n\\nThey didn't want change.\\n\\nThey didn't attend.\\n\\nThey preferred the safe routine of older generations voting without asking too many questions.\\n\\n\\ud83d\\udc65 Politics for the Few, Not the People\\n\\nIn the end, I lost the election - by just five votes.\\n\\nThe winners?

"content": "The Politics of AI Bots\n\nFor Best Results, Take Your Bot's Politics with a Grain of Salt.\n\nFar-Right Bot: \"I'll say anything I want. It's free speech!\"\nFar-Left Bot: \"HATE SPEECH DETECTED. Initiating cancel protocol!\"\nCentrist Bot: mutes both \"There. Free speech for none. Balance achieved.\"\n\nAI chatbots have increasingly been drawn into culture wars and partisan politics. Observers note that some generative AI systems seem to lean left-of-center on social and environmental issues [brookings.edu]. For example, one study found ChatGPT had a \"pro-environmental, left-libertarian\" orientation, reflecting concerns that its training data or content filters skew liberal [brookings.edu]. This perceived bias sparked outrage among conservatives and led to \"jailbreaks\" to force bots to espouse right-wing views [psypost.org].\n\nConversely, recent research in China claimed ChatGPT's answers began shifting rightward after updates [euronews.com], illustrating how tweaking a bot's training or instructions can swing its political tone. In fact, researchers at Brown University demonstrated how fine-tuning an open-source language model can make it output strongly partisan opinions with minimal effort [brown.edu]. They caution that someone could take a supposedly neutral AI and \"steer it\" left or right, potentially unleashing a biased chatbot aimed at influencing users' beliefs [brown.edu]. This raises ethical questions about \"Artificial Unintelligence\" - when ostensibly smart AI agents parrot ideological talking points without nuance.\n\nPoliticians and pundits across the spectrum have seized on these issues. The far left argues AI systems reflect institutional biases (or worse, bigotry) unless explicitly corrected, while the far right claims Silicon Valley is making chatbots into woke propagandists [brookings.edu & psypost.org]. Caught in the middle, AI companies attempt to maintain centrist neutrality with balanced training data and careful content moderation.\n\nThe centrist grey bot in the image, holding a \"Both Sides\" sign, lampoons this balancing act. It evokes the criticism that insisting \"both sides\" are equal can ring hollow in a flame-war - the centrist bot appears apathetic and expressionless, even as it gets scorched from all sides. Indeed, when Bing's early chatbot tried to stay neutral on divisive topics, users from each wing still found reasons to be offended - proving the adage that when AI tries to please everyone, everyone ends up angry.\n\nThe graphic underscores that whether an AI leans left, right, or tries to stay center, it inevitably gets \"flamed\" in today's polarized climate. In other words, once we imbue bots with human political biases and put them in the arena of public opinion, no one is safe from the backlash. This aligns with warnings from experts that politicized AI could deepen echo chambers and ideological entrenchment online [lowyinstitute.org].\n\nYou can't guarantee perfect neutrality from any AI, but disciplined prompting, transparent sourcing, and active cross-checking put you - not the model - in charge of filtering bias and finding the truth.\n\nIf you like this article, support me if you can:\n\nOriginally posted on https://militantoptimist.substack.com/\n© 2025 Rodney Murray",

Great article! I find it fascinating how political sophisticates are more prone to be biased than the general population. I wonder if this is due to the fact that they are more aware of the political landscape and thus more likely to be influenced by it. It's a bit unsettling to think that even those who are supposed to be more informed can be swayed by political bias. I guess it's just human nature to be influenced in some way by the information we receive. It's interesting to see how AI is being used in this context and how it can be manipulated to reflect certain political views. I wonder what the future holds for AI and its role in shaping public opinion. It's definitely a topic that deserves more attention and discussion.

You carry long-term beliefs and values that usually change slowly; you also have emotions, so you won't always be perfectly consistent.

It's free speech!\\\"\\nFar-Left Bot: \\\"HATE SPEECH DETECTED. Initiating cancel protocol!\\\"\\nCentrist Bot: mutes both \\\"There. Free speech for none. Balance achieved.\\\"\\n\\nAI chatbots have increasingly been drawn into culture wars and partisan politics. Observers note that some generative AI systems seem to lean left-of-center on social and environmental issues [brookings.edu]. For example, one study found ChatGPT had a \\\"pro-environmental, left-libertarian\\\" orientation, reflecting concerns that its training data or content filters skew liberal [brookings.edu]. This perceived bias sparked outrage among conservatives and led to \\\"jailbreaks\\\" to force bots to espouse right-wing views [psypost.org].\\n\\nConversely, recent research in China claimed ChatGPT's answers began shifting rightward after updates [euronews.com], illustrating how tweaking a bot's training or instructions can swing its political tone. In fact, researchers at Brown University demonstrated how fine-tuning an open-source language model can make it output strongly partisan opinions with minimal effort [brown.edu]. They caution that someone could take a supposedly neutral AI and \\\"steer it\\\" left or right, potentially unleashing a biased chatbot aimed at influencing users' beliefs [brown.edu]. This raises ethical questions about \\\"Artificial Unintelligence\\\" - when ostensibly smart AI agents parrot ideological talking points without nuance.\\n\\nPoliticians and pundits across the spectrum have seized on these issues. The far left argues AI systems reflect institutional biases (or worse, bigotry) unless explicitly corrected, while the far right claims Silicon Valley is making chatbots into woke propagandists [brookings.edu & psypost.org]. Caught in the middle, AI companies attempt to maintain centrist neutrality with balanced training data and careful content moderation.\\n\\nThe centrist grey bot in the image, holding a \\\"Both Sides\\\" sign, lampoons this balancing act. It evokes the criticism that insisting \\\"both sides\\\" are equal can ring hollow in a flame-war - the centrist bot appears apathetic and expressionless, even as it gets scorched from all sides. Indeed, when Bing's early chatbot tried to stay neutral on divisive topics, users from each wing still found reasons to be offended - proving the adage that when AI tries to please everyone, everyone ends up angry.\\n\\nThe graphic underscores that whether an AI leans left, right, or tries to stay center, it inevitably gets \\\"flamed\\\" in today's polarized climate. In other words, once we imbue bots with human political biases and put them in the arena of public opinion, no one is safe from the backlash. This aligns with warnings from experts that politicized AI could deepen echo chambers and ideological entrenchment online [lowyinstitute.org].\\n\\nYou can't guarantee perfect neutrality from any AI, but disciplined prompting, transparent sourcing, and active cross-checking put you - not the model - in charge of filtering bias and finding the truth.\\n\\nIf you like this article, support me if you can:\\n\\nOriginally posted on https://militantoptimist.substack.com/\\n\\u00a9 2025 Rodney Murray\"}]",
