#33 - Birth Rates and Celibacy Syndrome

Babies. Can't live with 'em... etc. Japan is frequently seen as the poster child for modern societies that have given up on propagating their own population through reproduction.

E tu, mi vedi? “E tu, mi vedi?” è il podcast di 9m², il progetto per aprire gli occhi su un mondo che ormai si è rimpicciolito in un’unica stanza. Per un universo più inclusivo.“Apro gli occhi e fisso il soffitto.” Immerso in un presente senza fine, un viaggio tra la paura, i pensieri, lo spazio e le sensazioni di chi non può fare altro che chiudere la porta della propria cameretta, fino a non aprirla mai più. Un tuffo negli occhi, e nella mente di un Hikikomori, che poi alla fine è un po’ anche la nostra.Partendo da voci, testimonianze e racconti, assumiamo le sembianze di una generazione sommersa, e ci facciamo una chiacchierata per sfondare quel muro che, piano piano, ci si può costruire attorno. Ed ecco il mondo a portata Hikikomori.Ogni lunedì su Spotify.E per entrare ancora di più in 9m² visita il sito del progetto http://www.9m².com The Joker's podcast The Joker Hikikomori :giovani in fuga dalla realta HIKIKOMORI DAYS Kuraki Nagi— Japanese Creator 外出ゼロ歴15年以上。継続力だけは無駄にあります。発達障害一家の宗教二世で、人生は最初からハードモード。親は15年未接続、友達は在庫切れ、親戚はオフライン。20年いた宗教も「お客様の環境では正常に動作しません」で終了。うつ・不安・強迫・潔癖をフル装備し、人生の意味も途中でアンインストール。引きこもりの日常を隠さず話すログです。　15+ years indoors.
