If you are a Physicist like Ian and Felix

Posted by talkfact , Reader : 818 , 18:54:11

You decide to study Nature seen as a laboratory, only looking at the very basis of matter. You come up with something we can call “The laws of the lab”.Now, you feel the world should be filled with articles made of plastic. You construct a factory complete with lab and machines for producing the goods. Now you use your “laws of the lab” and without too much problems you produce plastic.So far you h....

Laws against laws

Posted by talkfact , Reader : 286 , 19:37:05

The Oceans are full of plastic. There are regions of the oceans which look morelike a soup (of plastic) than a clear sea.Why? Because plastic is not biodegradable, it resists every effort fromNature to make it a part of natural life on earth.How come?Well, the usual scenario is this: Scientists discover a law of nature. (This thing adored by Felix and Ian). Then they enter a laboratory. Here they pr....

Unfair attacks on Thai on this weblog

Posted by talkfact , Reader : 569 , 22:34:06

Sometimes when I read Ian’s blogs I found expressions like “Thai people don’t know how to plan”. This is certainly not true of Thai middle class but it might have a bearing of truth on very poor people. However this would be similar anywhere, in any country.The 45 million Americans who do no have a health insurance can be accused of the same thing. They cannot afford a proper medical coverage. And th....

West has been Confusianized for a long time and now has taken up Taoism also.

Posted by talkfact , Reader : 391 , 23:51:56

A look at Chinese history confirms two mainstream forms of thought: Confucianism (law-making and rule-making) and Taoism (on liberating the soul).Looking at the Western world history, it confirms a similar struggle between the two. I think everyone can agree that Western world culture has displayed a keen interest in law-making and rule-making as well – typical Confucianism that is.What about Taoism ....

Caterpillar versus Butterfly

Posted by talkfact , Reader : 236 , 18:41:53

I left Chiang Mai and Thailand a couple of weeks ago. And now, Back in Europe: in Copenhagen, working for 3-6 months.There’s nothing to say about the food in Denmark (or Sweden or Norway). There was an immigrant in Sweden, when asked about Swedish food, his comment was: The Swedes, they only eat spaghetti and bread, we, the immigrants, eat proper food, meat, fish, vegetables every day.Still, compar....
