I do appreciate your reflections. Yet I have some words shared with you. ※ 引述《Bigfatty73 (Chris)》之銘言： : Personally, I don't think we're going through a dark-age, : or whatever you may put it. I believe it's of the entire society, : people lack an overvision, those who do, lack the will to act, : or they simply end up with their face shoved in mud trying : to make difference Exactly, I didn't say we are in the so-called 'dark-age.' This kinda macro proposition was not my point. Indeed, I do have no idea about what historical stage we are in. But the political phenomena in Taiwans is a joke, a rediculous joke. In other words, Taiwans's political field is sick. I do not think it is the whole society's duty. If it is justified, I can make this kinda of statement further: It is the whole world's problem, or it is the problem of the human race. Saying these words, however, says nothing. : I mean academically, economically, whatever field you name it; : Why is it hard for long term research to be done? : why is it that taiwanese pharmaceutical companies focus on : Health-Food instead of pharmaceutics? : Coz if a researcher can't be publicated enough projects results : within a year or 2, he's FIRED. Coz you don't need detailed : Characterization and analysis to proove a certain Food is healthy. : I think it's coz of the system, the way we're taught, the logic : we Taiwanese take for granted, you, me, and the pros and cons of : Taiwan that made this. So I'd choose to cast myself away, and see : if I can find an answer out there. I have seen very heavy resentment :p Short term interest is the only goal Tiwaneses persuit. Mmmm....Maybe, and maybe not. Because I think the point is not people's will, but institutions. Focusing on public affairs, we have seen that there is no appropriate forum that can let civilians talk reasonably, discuss together, and express opinions. Therefore, politicians or else can do anything they want, and get interest or advantage easily. Nobody can watch the politicians. More correctly, not only politicians but also capitalist are looming. Building a good institution is able to prevent these guy's greedy manners. Above is my rough answer. I really know that there is a simple way out. But I could try. I would not cast myself away, and I'd like to keep going, to do my best, to find the Answer that can navigate us to a beautiful sphere. Although the darkness is an obstacle in front of us, I do believe the light will come soon. --
