依存の価値を再考する | 晋一郎 熊谷 | TEDxHitotsubashiU

The speaker poses the question to the audience: Is dependence the opposite of independence? As a wheelchair user with a physical disability, the speaker will discuss the importance of diversifying sources of dependence, a lesson learned from their experiences during the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the importance of relying on genuine human relationships that accept you for who you are, for people living in modern times, drawing on the wisdom gained from participatory research on addiction.
