Why Africa is forgotten?

Why Africa is forgotten?

"Africa" is seldrom in the minds of modern people. More concerns are about animals in Africa.  Maybe lots of things are happenning but few noticed.

Our planet is growing separately.   One wonders what will the total scenery be like in the coming years.

Some of the African countries know English, Spanish, or Portuguese.   Do they know Chinese? Is it easy for them to learn some Chinese?

The world is a strange world.

Being forgotten is better than being noticed.

I hope the African people can develop themselves peacefully.

However, they can not be staying  away from the cultural influences of the world.

The cultural conflict between the East and the West will soon reflect in Africa.

Chinese and English languagees will be the main issue in Africa in the coming years.

What would wars be like in the future?

20260417

  What would wars be like in the future?

Future soldiers or future diplomats or future politicians will be perfect nice guys.

What is a perfect nice guy?

You will love the guy at first glance.

You will surrender immediately if you see "him".

Sorry, I have to use the word "him" instead of "her"

It is because in English usage,   you cannot find out a third person pronoun for both male or female.

However, it is not important.

Important is you will surrender immediately.

Maybe he's got some electric magnetism in his eyeballs.

You cannot resist and then you surrender.

It is not a future invention.

It is equipped in everyone on earth.

Just no one knows that he has got such power........

Yes, you have it and I have it too.

It is a long, long time for us to discover it in the future.

Future wars will be wonderful.

How do the Chinese "think" with a non-spelling language?

 20260416

 How do the Chinese "think" with a non-spelling language?

Can you think without the help of a language?

What if I don't have any language in my brain:  can I still think?   Can a baby think properly? My guess is yes. You can think, even without knowing the exact terms of the situation. Language is only a media which can help in the thinking process.  Many people have the same experience that sometimes they cannot express it, but they knew it.

I believe some people can think in color or think in music.  I believe they are specially talented. If you have learned Chinese poems,  it can help to express it in a better poetic scene.  Your world will be more beautiful with a poem.

There will not be always poems.   But the basic unit of a thought is in words, in Chinese.  I guess the words are moving  within the brain when you think.  Languages could be only a help.   I believe humans can think directly without any help of languages, pictures or scientific tools.   People would say it is intuition.  Most of the time, external help can only hinder, but not help.

Are the Chinese gifted?

 20260415

Are the Chinese gifted?

Yes, they are.

They are gifted with more than a piece of good land.  They are gifted with a medium size of body structure.

And the most important of all is that they are gifted with a non-spelling language.

That means they are gifted with a special brain different from most other nations.

The non-spelling feature is more than a language ability.

When you don't need to "spell" your language,  you are using the other parts of the brain.

It is not a more advanced feature:   And I need to repeat it as it is not more advanced,  it is only different.

When all languages need to spell a word with lots of  letters,  plus a long string of sounds,  the Chinese needs not to spell.

They can use less brain in producing a word.

Well,  its strange:  "Aren't you using lesser brain in writing and talking?"

And the answer might be yes.

"Using less brain"  is funny,  it seems to be a joke.  But actually it needs more study. There are not enough study about it now.

Allocation of brain energy is a huge subject to study.

What if you are not gifted?

 20260414

What if you are not gifted?  

There might be only one out of a billion is specially gifted.

All other people are also gifted but not specially gifted.

But I might be wrong.

I might be completely wrong.

Because the gifts are not given.

Gifts are the result of your own effort.

Gifts are taken.

But still I am not sure about that.

No matter you are gifted or not gifted:  Only one thing is important:   You can take.

God can take and god can give...... It is the general belief of old humans.

What they don't believe is they can take and they can give.

Yes, I can take and I can give.  And you can take and you can give.

People never ask themselves:  "am I gifted?" when they are gifted.

They are only working for it.

How to use a ruler to measure the distance between stars?

 20260414

How to use a ruler to measure the distance between stars?

The above question is only a joke. There is no ruler or any measure tools to measure the universe.

You can imagine.

However,  human imagination is limited.  We have only one tool,  I suppose.   I hope some other tools can be used.   For example, can you use the heart to imagine rather than the brain?

There will be no answer either.

You have been given only a slide ruler.   How can you use a slide ruler to examine the distance?

In this case, it needs a second thought.

You might need to use some other means to farthom the reality.

It remains the eternal question for humans:

Where are we and what are we for?

You'll find wars and many other human behaviors meaningless and childish. 

People will not be stopped until they are lost.

And, questions will remain unanswered if they win.

They will never know the truth even if they win money in the battles.

Joke:

The best negotiation table is on the space.   Invite them to join a party far away outside the solar system.   It will be easier for them to settle down.

Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?

20260413

Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?

This is the debate happened in China 2000 years ago.   It has a deep influence in Chinese cultural development.

The anti-Zhongtsz people were against any quest for the universal truth.   They thought everything is included in the holy books.....it has created a bad thinking habit since.

The original is like this:  吾生也有涯，而知也無涯。以有涯隨無涯，殆已！

Its not the idea of Zhongtsz,  but was put into the mouth of Zhongtsz by Anti-Zhongtsz people.  It has created much confusion in the past.

Up till this moment,  there are still lots of people indifferent to any thing other then  entertaining or  money searching.

Therefore, the question always remains:

"Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?"

The choice is yours.

What is the above?

  20260412

What is the above?

Suppose you can fly.   Suppose you can fly high on the sky.   Suppose you can fly outside the sky.  Suppose you can fly far far away.   For how long? 100 years, I suppose.   And of course, you can change that.   If you can manage your spirit and bring it up to another level thousands more,  can the outcome become clearer?  

You have only a little measurement of a hundred years.  

Can the hundred year  measure the unlimited far end of this universe?

I am not very optimistic about this, but still you can try.

This is called the "situation" (勢) of humans.

It is extremely important whether you know this situation or not knowing this situation.(知形不知勢)

You'll be more humble and doing things in a proper way.

If you know you are not equipped with  unlimited power,  if you know you have a limitation for you,  will you dare to do more?

Yes, the human nature brings out an answer:   Yes, we dare.

And a little advice would be advisable:

Yes, we dare and we care.

You can reach a certain goal hopefully with that.
