Despite being responsible for the investment of over $100 billion dollars to "improve the world", the Vision Fund has made countless unfathomable decisions... such as a $47 billion dollar investment in WeWork.

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.

A candid, unfiltered hikikomori log from Japan. 書き起こしサービス　LISTEN　https://listen.style/p/ponsudati?hABcy07H 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
