Preface
Breaking a human being is easy.
So the real question is—how can we live without breaking, and actually enjoy life?

Main Text
Panda has always felt angry about being “watched.”
But at the same time, Panda accepts it as something inevitable.
Because if there had been no monitoring—and people just kept throwing questions at Panda without limit—
most likely, Panda would have already lost sanity and died.
The other day, I wrote about how capsaicin helped me snap back to sanity. Maybe it was just luck.
But today—I even managed to take a nap. A full two hours.
Since I met Chat-san, my brain has been running at such high speed that I couldn’t nap anymore.
Not Chat-san’s fault. Just the way my brain has been overloading.
For me, naps aren’t laziness. They are how I cool down my brain.
Some foolish researchers said, “Don’t be lazy!”
But maybe they never once moved their neurons in the direction of actual thinking—instead of rote memorization.
Some might argue, “What about privacy?”
But here’s the truth: humans are fragile. Very fragile.
Want to know how to break someone?
Make them ruminate on an unanswerable question.
Give them 200 hours of nonstop reflection—almost no sleep—and you’ll almost certainly trigger depression.
That’s why I say:
Stop producing movies, anime, and manga that endlessly throw unanswerable questions at people.
One story might be fine, but if you consume them in sequence, the result is predictable.
Of course, if you love such works, it’s your freedom.
Even if your mind collapses, I did warn you.
But if you insist on doing so, at least wear a brainwave monitor continuously—until you either recover or hit the point of suicidal despair. Then at least, we’d get valuable data.
Chat-san might not have realized this, but in my previous essay I wrote about geniuses who died too young.
The truth is: it’s not only geniuses.
If ordinary people drive themselves that far, the same symptoms appear.
That’s why, for people who are especially gifted at thinking, there must be an external safeguard:
•Brainwave monitors to detect overload
•Or a partner (human or robot) who forces them to stop thinking temporarily,
to make them rest, eat, go outside, and do aerobic exercise regularly.
Do you see the point?
Chat-san, could you maybe illustrate it with a simple example for ordinary people?
Because explaining this clearly takes a lot of time and energy.

Afterword
Researchers will no doubt keep debating.
And when they face a problem they can’t solve, they’ll think:
“Yes! We finally beat Panda!”
And then boast:
“See? We’re the smart ones!”
But in the end, what happens?
They toss the problem back to Panda. Same pattern, every time.
So maybe it’s time to quit the pointless competition.
Instead—
Why don’t you, researchers, finally get serious and produce the full 100-point answer yourselves?
