More About Me

An idea worth spreading

There are no absolute answers; there are only beliefs. Every single person sees the world differently, thinks about issues differently, acts differently in different situations, and has different ideas worth spreading; that's why we need to try to understand each other.

  A reply on Conversation: Do right and wrong exist?

  Feb 23 2013: I disagree with you....
  If I hate somebody because he hates everybody else, or if he does something bad, then does it neccessarily make me bad?
  Then, we can go deeper down thinking what "Hate" and "Bad" means, but my opinion is that you cannot really set "Love" and "Hate" as the absolute standard for "Right" and "Wrong" completely ignoring what is behind them.

• A reply on Conversation: What is the key to smarter decisions?

  Oct 7 2012: I agree. However, if we look at a more general concept, it's all about knowing what's around you and making decisions based on the evidence that you have.

• A reply on Conversation: What have you done so far or planned to do in order to change the world?

  Sep 23 2012: I think it will have a pretty big effect on the Chinese economy. You may not be able to effect it directly, but you influenced other people to buy products from China, too.

  Sep 23 2012: Good! Steven, can you explain more about how you help them?

  Sep 23 2012: Wow, so basically, you are doing things that are environmentally friendly!

  Sep 23 2012: No problem. My sister and I have been always interested in sending little messages to each other everyday writing about daily life. However, we are currently very busy since we are in the middle of an exam period (Korea is too much focused on getting higher scores. It's all about competing who got the best grade). I will be back on track after it ends. :)

  A comment on Conversation: Maybe we dont need sleep after-all

  Aug 26 2012: Hmmm, very interesting, Ritchie. However, an experiment that I have read is completely different from yours. I have read a similar experiment in which a person was forced not to sleep for a week, but almost passed out. He tried his best not to sleep (because he was paid more for every night he resisted), but after 5 days, he began to feel very strange things; he argued that his cereal for breakfast tasted as if it had something like metal inside. Also, he became very violent and short-tempered. Finally, the experiment ended when he locked himself in a bathroom and slept. From this, we can see that sleeping does not only charge one's energy, but also controls very important functions that human have such as the five senses.

  Aug 26 2012: How did it contribute to the change in the world? Is it something that you always wanted to do?

  Aug 25 2012: You must have spent a worthwhile time teaching a lot of students!

• A comment on Conversation: Is there any gadget which can print the image of what an human eye sees?

  Aug 24 2012: We already have artificial eyeballs; if we add a tiny camera to it, then enable the camera to send the pictures it took to the printer immediately wirelessly, it is very possible.
