Dr Noriko Asato is afraid of a disagreement, even an email disagreement in which the person is not physically near you and you can take your time coming up with a response where you can overwhelm the other person with your intellectual depth!


But Noriko Asato doesn't have much intellectual depth!


People with intellectual depth have responses ready when confronted by assertive disagreement


People with intellectual depth have a well-crafted joke or two to use in response to assertive disagreement!


People with intellectual depth have real life examples in their mind to bring up when confronted by assertive disagreement!


Noriko Asato has none of these!


Noriko Asato calls herself "very afraid" and "feels threatened" when confronted by assertive disagreement.


It does NOT matter that Noriko Asato is a small female. So what?  Small female teachers with the same ancestry as her have been able to talk with authority to large-size male students (ie footballers, basketballers,etc) who misbehave in their classes.   Almost everyone who grew up in Hawaii can tell you high school stories  of short Japanese female teachers talking with a real authoritative voice  towards misbehaving  football lineman!


So what is Noriko Asato's excuse for being afraid of assertive disagreement from a non-athletic average-sized male like me?


Her reason is that she lacks intellectual depth! Her reason is that she spent decades in an ivory tower where prestigious titles can cover up for a lack of intellectual depth!


Her reason is that she spent decades in an ivory tower, where she spends time with well-behaving high achievers, making her unaccustomed to what high school teachers have to deal with ................ big large students who think everything is a joke, who have no motivation, who have no reason to restrain themselves, who think prison is just a rite of passage!


Add to that even in an ivory tower, Noriko Asato doesn't want to teach classes where students have to attend class session in person every week.


Why?


Because that requires dealing with assertive disagreement every week! Because that requires dealing with people exposing her lack of intellectual depth!


So Noriko Asato just stick with "teaching" online classes (where she doesn't have to deal with assertive disagreement with someone in her physical presence) for elective courses, and only meeting a few times a semester for "required courses".



Even worse, Noriko Asato teaches courses designed to help students prepare for a career.............
.............
..............  meaning her job requires preparing students to deal with assertive disagreement.



But Noriko Asato is unable to deal with assertive disagreement except to call herself "very afraid" and "feels threatened"


This is like having a person who teaches auto mechanics but can't fix a car!

This is like having a person who teaches library management but haven't managed a library staff (oops, that sounds so like Rich Gazan)


This is like having a person who teaches French but can't speak a real conservation with someone from France!

This is like having a person who teaches lifeguard training courses but can't swim!


Noriko Asato has ZERO business teaching courses designed to help students prepare for a career if she can't use her intellectual depth to assertively deal with assertive disagreement.


If you are "very afraid" and "feel threatened" by emails filled with assertive disagreement, that means your beliefs are built on the foundation of sand!


If you are "very afraid" and "feel threatened" by emails filled with assertive disagreement, that means you have NOTHING to back up your statements and beliefs.



In other words, Noriko Asato's presence on the university staff is an intellectual fraud!





They ran out of participation trophies, so they gave this crony hire and professional victim a participation certificate even though she can't defend her cliches from assertive disagreement



sounds like another album title

My previous post mentioned that Pablo the Mad Tiger Warrior latest album is titled "Sounds Like a Video Game: an instrumental album"



It was released on 1/20/2017 via a distributor CD Baby.


CD Baby also makes YouTube videos displaying the music tracks it distributes. The video just shows an album cover, with the music playing.


This is not to be confused with my Pablo the Mad Tiger Warrior YouTube channel which I put my own images with my own music!


So anyways, while checking if CD Baby released their video version of my audio tracks, I typed in "sounds like a video game" on the YouTube's search engine.


It turns out there was already another album with a similar name: "Sounds Like That Video Game Music" by a digital musician Benickerson that was released in May 2016!


I was not aware of the existence of that album until today, which was why I rushed to put this  blog post to clarify my side of the story!

So I want to say to Benickerson, please forgive me for putting out an album with a title similar to yours. I honestly wasn't aware of that album until today and I intended no copyright infringement. I respect your work as a digital musician, I wish you the best for your musical career, and I hope that the similar sounding album titles doesn't cause a conflict between us!
