The problem is that there is an authoritarian government that believes that truths are not good for the people and people should not discuss truths.Originally posted by yourma:controlled truth and freedom of course.
so if a genie grants your wish to the absolute truth to everything else on earth, what would you do? bet ye would still sit around typing furiously.

rule number 1 for working in singapore - never ever outshine your masters unless your master is to be outcast....Originally posted by robertteh:Microsoft is one good example of applying knowledge and motivating people to apply knowledge. Engineers are not happy with existing knowledge and they go on arguing and competing among themselves and coming up with one solution after another. Today Intel and Microsoft rule the roost in computerization which give us so many advances and competitiveness.
Every three years, Intel will revolutionise the chip with new thinking and designs to give the best of modern technological advancements. Why stop the truths and knowledge in political renewal and governing of a country. It is the same. The more people are exposed to new ideas and thinking there will be more and better solutions. It is only when leader is narrow and cannot accommodate our points of views that he feels the pressure and the need to control others.
Let a thousand flowers bloom. This should be the knowledge and truth people should be brought up to nurture and benefit the whole country.
that is the sad problem here ... lots of imbeciles who do not have what it takes to lead in the knowledge economy but who nevertheless gets to ... where would that lead us to?Originally posted by soloasylum:rule number 1 for working in singapore - never ever outshine your masters unless your master is to be outcast....
if we worse than iraq, US will bomb us. Ha ha haOriginally posted by Cindyfeh:quote:
