中日ドラゴンズは3年連続最下位でも、負けても増える観客数(230万人超)で、直感に反する。勝利至上主義とナラティブ(物語性)、どちらが人生で優勢な価値観か?
研究室主宰者として、申請書や論文での勝ち筋は知らないと。ただ子どもが運動会で負けても、物語性から面白さを感じる。物語を制することが、実は両立した勝ち筋か。

The Chunichi Dragons, despite finishing last for three consecutive years, still drew over 2.3 million fans. Increasing attendance even with losses defies intuition. Which prevails in life: the win-at-all-costs mentality or narrative (storytelling)?
As a PI, I should know the path to victory in grant applications and papers. However, even when children lose at a sports day, we can find enjoyment in the narrative. Could mastering the narrative actually be the path to achieving both?
