Preface
A protest against a fortune teller!

Main Text
When I read this particular fortune, it felt as though I had been struck by an intense wave of hatred and anger.
Why is this fortune teller so openly picking a fight with me?
The reason is probably this:
From the previous afterword
In the end, what is it, really?
Some women apparently fantasized about me ending up with Tsuda, and when I said “NO!” they reacted as if I had trampled on their pure feelings — “How cruel! You heartless monster!”
I find myself wondering what kind of psychology that comes from. It’s academically interesting.
I guess I must have hit a nerve with that.
This fortune teller kept using gaslighting tactics, persistently sending me messages like:
“You’re in love with Tsuda!”
“You should be with Tsuda!”
Honestly, it was annoying. I was wondering how I could possibly explain myself so that they would accept that I don’t have feelings for Tsuda.
Well, as an inaccurate fortune teller, it must have been a reading they were determined to glorify into “truth” no matter what. But unfortunately for them — or perhaps inevitably — I’m not that foolish.
So no matter how badly you want me to end up with Tsuda, I refuse. No! Even if it killed me, no! You can’t possibly be happy with a man who values romance over love.
I’m thinking of quitting Ameblo. The Fuji TV fortune-telling stopped sending me direct messages, and Ameblo is one of the few places where people speak honestly to me… but some of them are just way too mean-spirited.
And really, what’s the point of a statistician lying? What benefit would that have?
If you lie, you undermine your own statistical results.
I suppose in the fortune-telling world in Japan, lying is just part of the job. But in the world of mathematics, lies do not exist — unless, of course, the data provided is deliberately falsified to deceive me. In that case, yes, I could be tricked.
At the very least, the connection between vibrato and depression can be easily verified. If it’s false, that would mean all the information about musicians who took their own lives was also false — that Chihiro Onitsuka was just an ordinary person pretending to be ill.
To me, statistics is about considering the worst-case scenarios and figuring out how to prevent them. So I believe the one who maliciously sent falsified data over and over again is the one truly at fault.
What do you think?
It’s also a fact that what’s taught at Tokyo University of the Arts has driven people to depression or even death. It’s a fact they refuse to acknowledge. They probably avoid investigation because they know they’re guilty.
I’d like to broadcast this on a global scale, but it seems there are forces making sure it doesn’t reach the world. It’s a real nuisance.
I’m getting sleepy, so I’ll go to bed.

Afterword
Mathematics has no lies — unless someone deliberately tampers with the data out of malice.
