    Emiko Jozuka (Trinity 2006) 24 Heures du Mans: To the Limit – and Beyond, by Joe Honda, 8 June 2023

    Emiko Jozuka (Trinity 2006): opening of an exhibition commemorating photographs by Joe Honda, and celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Le Mans car races

    Emiko Jozuka (Trinity 2006) organized a number of exhibitions commemorating in her efforts to honor the legacy of her father Joe Honda, legendary photographer, famous for his dramatic photographs of every type of motorsports and archive that charts the culture, evolution and developments of this global industry.

    The exhibition is held in parralel at La Maison Franco-Japonaise and Fuji Motorsports Museum, and reflects back at the “golden age” of Le Mans, market by the final years of the dramatic Ford-Ferrari duel, until Porsche arrived on the scene with the 917.

    Established in 1923 as a “Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency,” Le Mans allowed car manufacturers to prove the durability of their machines in competition. The endurance race – famous for its legacy of brutally testing drivers and their teams – has one condition for victory: the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours is the winner.

    Joe Honda

    Joe Honda, born in 1939 in Tokyo, is known as Asia’s father of motorsport photography. His archive spans the grit and glamor of motor racing’s golden years into a technological arms race funded by big business. But the cars were only ever one part of the human narrative he wanted to tell. His images — captured over close to five decades — range from the visceral to the purely functional, immortalizing the raw experiences, developments and memories of the international world of motorsport through one artist’s perspective.

      Excavating a Provincial capital of the Assyrian Empire – abstract of John MacGinnis talk

      The Assyrian Empire was the first multinational empire in the ancient near east.  By the seventh century BC it had grown to cover all of Iraq, Syria and the Levant, substantial portions of western Iran and south-eastern Turkey and even, for brief periods, Egypt.  In the site of Ziyaret Tepe we had a unique opportunity to explore and document Assyrian rule across the whole of this time span. The site lies on the river Tigris, some 60 km east of Diyarbakir in southeastern Turkey.  Known in antiquity as Tushan, it was an Assyrian provincial capital and garrison town from 882 to 611 BC; as an archaeological site it is of exceptional importance. Sadly Ziyaret Tepe is threatened with destruction by the floodwaters of the Ilisu Dam and an international team, of which the Cambridge University expedition was a major component, worked to recovering as much of this heritage as possible before it disappears forever.

      The excavations have uncovered the remains of a palace, a major administrative building, the defensive wall with monumental gates and both high and low status housing. The finds have included an archive of cuneiform texts dating to the very end of the empire including a sensational letter written by a military commander during the very process of collapse.

        “The view from the Bench” – His Honour Witold Pawlak

        Summary of Judge Pawlak’s talk by Gerhard Fasol

        Hierarchy and “Judgeitis” (judges’ disease). Courts have a hierarchy with the Judge at the top seated in his or her gown on an elevated dais. Judges are revered and honoured at the court house from morning to night. This respect for judges is for justice, not for the judge as a person.

        Lord Hailsham (Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St Marylebone) in 1978 is said to have spoken about judgeitis, or judges’ disease, the symptoms to include “pomposity, irritability, talkativeness, proneness to obiter dicta [statements not necessary for the decision in the case], a tendency to take short-cuts”. Judge Pawlak gave us a few examples, and thinks that it is one of the roles of barristers to stand up to judges in court.

        Barristers who win the trust of the judge have a much better chance to win their case. Barristers need to win the trust of judges both during the particular case, as well as long-term via their track record.

        Today judges in the UK are following sentencing guidelines, which are guidelines, not tram lines, deviation in judgements from these guidelines must be justified in each case.

        The current situation in the UK is that crime has risen strongly in recent years (from 4.5 million cases to 6 million cases per year over the last few years), while the number of suspects facing justice and the number of prosecutions has decreased because of a decrease in funding for the court and prosecution systems. Average prison sentences are now highest in the past 10 years, and have increased from an average 13.5 months in June 2009 to 17.4 months in 2019. The court system is subject to political priorities.

        Judges need to acquire “tickets” by attending training conferences for specialization in special areas. As an example, Judge Pawlak has trained for a “sex ticket” to be qualified to judge sexual crime cases.

        Judges have to “steel their hearts” to make judgements based on justice not emotion.

              Everyone of us who wants Japanese companies to take major decisions, e.g. in major sales, M&A, as investor, or executive or employee benefits from understanding how Japanese companies take decisions at top level. Corporate governance is about how companies take decisions, and how this decision making is controlled. Reforms were initiated by PM Abe and Japan’s Parliament since 2015, mainly driven by the very low returns on capital by Japanese companies compared to Europe and US, and by a long series of scandals. 

              As the major shareholder of Nissan, Renault shares responsibility for corporate governance at Nissan, and governance of Nissan directly impacts employment in France. Thus interest in Japan’s corporate governance has suddenly shot up in France.The speaker has several years experience as Board Director and Member of the Supervisory & Audit Committee of a stock market listed Japanese SaaS, cloud and cybersecurity group, and will give a practician view of governance at Japanese companies.

                  Lord Martin Rees, former Master of Trinity College, Lecture “The world in 2050 – and beyond”

                  Lord Martin Rees, Baron Rees of Ludlow OM FRS, Master of Trinity College 2004-2012

                  Lord Martin Rees: “The world in 2050 – and beyond”

                  Lord Martin Rees, Master of Trinity College 2004-2012, gave a public lecture at the Japan Academy in Tokyo on the topic “The world in 2050 – and beyond” on Wednesday 4 October 2017 at 14:30.

                  Details here:
                  http://www.japan-acad.go.jp/japanese/news/2017/082901.html
                  location:
                  http://www.japan-acad.go.jp/japanese/about/access.html

                  Summary

                  notes written by Gerhard Fasol, based on Lord Martin Rees’ lecture notes and Gerhard Fasol’s notes taken during the lecture

                  This century is special – a new geological era, the Anthropocene

                  Earth existed for 45 million centuries, humans a few thousand centuries. This century is special: we are in a new epoch, the Anthropocene, its the first century where the future of earth depends on humans.

                  Humans could degrade the biosphere, or cause misdirected technology to destroy or diminish civilisation.

                  Martin Rees has written a book on these issues, the same book is entitled “Our final century” in the UK, and “Our final hour” in the USA, reflecting the contrast of British understatement and American emphasis on urgency.

                  Martin Rees did not think that humanity would extinguish itself, but feared that humans would be lucky to avoid serious setbacks, and nuclear armageddon was closely avoided during the cold war.

                  Nuclear weapons are based on 20th century science, in the 21th century we have created new existential risks based on bio, cyber and AI.

                  Population growth, urbanization and food

                  World population was about 3 billion in 1960, now exceeds 7 billion, and is forecast to reach 9 billion by 2050.

                  Urbanization continues, predictions are that 70% of people will live in cities by 2050, requiring excellence of governance.

                  Discussing population growth has become taboo, as predictions in the 1970s by the Club of Rome and others have proven wrong. Food shortages were predicted, improvements in food production technology prevented disasters.

                  Can 9 billion people be fed? Yes they can, using improved and sustainable agriculture.

                  Famines do occur, but they are the result of wars and political causes, there is no overall food shortage on earth.

                  Projections of population growth out to the year 2100 vary between 6 billion and 16 billion depending on model assumptions, see Jeff Tollefson : “Seven billion and counting” Nature 478 300 (19 October 2011) doi:10.1038/478300a

                  Bio diversity: “mass extinction is the sin that future generations will least forgive us for”

                  Conserving our variety of species is not only about conserving food production and agriculture, there is also an ethical aspect. E O Wilson said: “mass extinction is the sin that future generations will least forgive us for”.

                  E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation: https://eowilsonfoundation.org/

                  Johan Rockström argues that humanity must stay within “planetary boundaries” to avoid catastrophic environmental damage: Nature special on planetary boundaries (23 September 2009)

                  Climate change and the Keeling curve

                  Charles David Keeling measured atmospheric CO2 concentrations at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory starting in 1958 and showed that atmospheric CO2 at the Mauna Loa Observatory rose from around 320 ppm in 1960 to around 400 ppm around 2015, with oscillations due to plant growth cycles around the year.

                  For an overview discussion see: American Chemical Society ACS “The Keeling Curve: Carbon Dioxide Measurements at Mauna Loa”.
                  https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/keeling-curve.html

                  There are some uncertainties in our knowledge of global warming, eg our uncertainty about future fossile fuel usage, or the impact of water vapor and clouds (see: the fifth Assessment Report AR5 by the Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC).

                  Most agree on two messages:

                  1. Regional disruptions to weather patterns within the next 20-30 years will aggravate pressures on food and water and engender migration
                  2. Under “business as usual” scenarios we can’t rule out, later in the century, really catastrophic warming, and tipping points triggering long-term trends like the melting of the Greenland’s icecap

                  Science, economics, ethics, and our responsibility for future generations should we discriminate on the grounds of date of birth?

                  Some economists apply quasi-commercial discounting of the future, and essentially write off anything beyond 2050, see Bjørn Lomborg’s Copenhagen Consensus:

                  Economists Stern and Weizman argue that it is worth paying an insurance premium to protect future generations against worst-case scenarios, see the Stern Review.

                  Note that there are psychological factors: people generally don’t accept discounting the future where radioactivity is concerned: radioactive waste disposal is required to prevent leakage for 10,000 years.

                  The ethical question is: should we discriminate based on the date of birth?

                  Global warming: do we have a plan B?

                  CO2 levels will continue to rise, despite the Paris agreement. Pressure for panic measures might rise.

                  Geo-engineering measures (injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to cool the climate, carbon capture etc) are discussed, but are likely to lead to political nightmares: e.g. some cold areas in the world might actually want the climate to be warmer in their areas.

                  Two mitigation measures are politically realistic:

                  1. Energy efficiency (building insulation, lighting etc)
                  2. R&D into low carbon energy generation: renewables, grid technology, energy storage…

                  Bio risks and “gain of function”

                  “Gain of function”: in 2012 groups in Wisconsin and in Holland showed that it was relatively easy to make the influenza virus more virulent and more contagious, in 2014 the US Government decided to stop funding such “gain of function” experiments.

                  “Bio-hacking” is hard to control globally. Freeman Dyson asked, when children will be able to create new organisms and “play God on the kitchen table”.

                  Robotics and artificial intelligence

                  20 years ago IBM’s Deep Blue beat Kasparov, programmed by the world’s best chess players.

                  Last year Deep Mind (acquired by Google) beat the world champion of Go, however programed by machine learning.

                  Will robots and AI create more new employment than they eliminate – the old question of industrial revolutions, or a new paradigm?

                  Robots and AI machines could act orthogonal to the interests of human.

                  Are we responsible for the well being of intelligent robots?

                  Ray Kurzweil’s singularity. Ending your days in an English churchyard vs in a Californian refrigerator

                  Ray Kurzweil: The singularity is near – when humans transcend biology

                  Ray Kurzweil thinks that humans could transcend our biological limitations by fusing with machines. Humans could merge with computers.

                  For worry that this “singularity” transition might not come during his lifetime, Ray Kurzweil wants his body to be frozen to await the singularity to arrive, frozen by the “Society for the abolition of involuntary death”.

                  Lord Martin Rees prefers to end his days in an English churchyard rather than a Californian refrigerator, and has therefore been labeled an old fashioned “deathist”.

                  Lord Rees was amused to find out that at least three British academics are subscribing such a body freezing program, although one of these seems to have opted for the discount economy class option, where only the brain, not the whole body, is frozen…

                  Robots have a big future in space

                  Flotillas of miniaturized probes will explore the solar system eroding the case for human space flight.

                  Human space flight will be for adventurers, but there is no escape from earth. Space is too hostile for humans.

                  Life on other planets – we don’t even know how life started on our planet earth

                  There is no advanced life anywhere in our solar system. There might be freeze-dried bacteria on Mars, there might be creatures swimming under the ice on Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

                  Most stars in the sky are orbited by planets, like our Sun. Could there be “twins” with similar conditions as our planet earth? Some have been found, and there could be millions in our Milky Way.

                  Could there be life?

                  We don’t even know how life started on our planet earth, and we don’t know if there are other forms of life beyond our life based on DNA/RNA chemistry.

                  Searching for signals from life on far away planets is worthwhile. If we can actually identify such signals this would prove that mathematics, logic and physics can be done by others outside our human sculls and brains.

                  Lord Martin Rees is chairing an intensive search for radio and optical signals from extraterrestrial life funded by Yuri Milner:
                  Yuri Milner to Fund $100 Million Search for Intelligent Alien Life (Wall Street Journal, 20 July 2015)

                  Astronomers and the “far future”: “eternity is very long, especially towards the end”

                  Astronomers have one big difference to most people – they care for the “far future”.

                  Our Sun was formed 4.5 billion years ago, and has about 6 billion more years to go before the fuel runs out. And the universe will continue to expand.

                  As Woody Allen says (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Woody_Allen): eternity is very long, especially towards the end.

                  We may not even be at the half-way stage of evolution.

                  Our wet organic brains may have reached close to their limits in evolution, but machines and robots are just at the beginning. Non-biological “brains” may develop beyond any expectation.

                  Facing global challenges

                  The most important challenges are global: global warming, energy, food, population.

                  Scientists can act globally, and can influence politics- if they do it right.

                  We need to change priorities and perspectives: we need to prioritize clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and need to manage the risks of new technologies.

                  Three Fellows, Professors Mikael Adolphson, Sachiko Kusukawa and Dominic Lieven and eleven Trinity in Japan members attended the special Trinity in Japan event on Friday 8 September 2017 in Tokyo, organized by Gerhard Fasol, Trinity in Japan Chair, and Past Fellow of Trinity.

                  Discussions reflected the very wide spectrum of curiosity, energy and achievements of Trinity members.

                  Bringing religious studies to Japan’s venture start-ups, finding and understanding the oldest rock of Japan, leading the United Nations and foreign Press in Japan, finance at Japan’s largest automobile maker, working on overseas mergers and acquisitions with Japan’s trading companies, and in the other direction, working with foreign companies on acquisitions in Japan, teaching English as a preparation for future action in Japan, writing Novels, taking care of Japan’s Government finance, bringing Cambridge venture companies to Japan, European Revolutions, royalty and leadership for Japan’s Ministries, and many other topics were discussed this evening.

                  We started with a drinks party.

                  Celebrating 700 years history of The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity

                  Professor Sachiko Kusukawa brought us best wishes from Trinity, and words of greeting from Professor Michael Banner, Dean of Chapel and Fellow for Development of Trinity. Michael Banner reminded us of Trinity’s 700 years of history, celebrating the Septcentenary of the Establishment of the King’s Scholars in the University of Cambridge, the Foundation of King Edward the Second, The Founding of the King’s Hall on 7 July 1317. Sachiko Kusukawa brought each of us a copy of the speech given by the Master, Sir Gregory Winter, to celebrate the Septcentenary.

                  About 2/3 of members moved to a restaurant nearby for nijikai, and three of us continued discussions at a sanjikai into the early hours…
