Exhibiting The House Of The Future From
The Past 12/30/2004 07:55 PM
Now that we're in predictions season, everyone knows that people will be able to look back and laugh at many of the "long term" predictions that people make, but sometimes people like to go back and commemorate the missed predictions. Apparently, MIT is looking to set up an exhibit in a few years looking at the house of the future that they helped design in 1957. The finished prototype was eventually displayed at Disneyland for a decade, where it was supposed to represent a house in 1987. Of course, most houses in 1987 look fairly similar to houses from 1957, but it still must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Either way, there is something amusing about setting up a "historical" exhibit looking at a "house of the future" when that future, which never actually made it, was supposed to occur years ago.

If this starts a robot arms race, I will be a happy fleshbag.

Advice to Korea's smartmobs

Advice to Korea's smartmobs 03/13/2003 10:24 AM
Howard Rheingold's written an introduction for the Korean edition of Smart Mobs, which takes the form of a letter of advice to Korea's Internet generation.

First, do not mistake the tool for the task. The democratization of publishing, communication, and organizing that is afforded by PCs, the Internet, and wireless mobile devices is indeed an important tool for grassroots activism. But it is the knowledge, intentions, and actions of people in the real world -- where ballots are cast, political decisions are made, wars and demonstrations take place -- that empowers democracy. Netizens must have more in common than their technical expertise in order for them to conduct discourse rather than flame each other, to act collectively in the physical world rather than sit in front of keyboards and type all the time. Long-term political organizing is hard work.

Second, understand that not every smart mob is a wise mob. The difference between a riot and democratic discourse is a literacy: if a sufficient percentage of the population does not understand the important issues of the day and does not know how to debate those issues and the governance policies affected by them, the democracy will be hollow and easily manipulated, even if the leaders are selected in fair elections. Deliberation is important for leaders and populations of citizens alike.

Third, civility, reason, and evidence are what distinguish the public sphere -- the free and open discourse among citizens that provides the foundation for democracy -- from the emotion-charged, ignorant, slogan-slinging online combat that sometimes drowns out political debate. The Web is a wonderful resource, and search engines are powerful tools. If you are arguing an issue, take two minutes to research it and post a link as part of your argument. You can question evidence, but questioning evidence is the basis of science and jurisprudence. The point is to argue the issues and evidence, not to attack the character of opponents.

Link Discuss (Thanks, Howard!)

More N Koreans airlifted to South

Another 220 North Korean defectors arrive in South Korea, after a similar number came on Tuesday.

Chinese

According to Beijing, Koreans are
Chinese 01/18/2004 10:23 PM

Looks like Japan is not alone in being creative with history.  Recent reports by Beijing historians, supposedly sponsored by the Chinese government, has Koreans hopping mad.  Here is an excerpt from a Taipei Times article by Christopher Lingle:

Showing an ability to pile outrage upon outrage, Beijing introduced inaccurate and distorted information about Korea's early history to further Chinese political hegemony. In particular, Chinese officials have offered a gross misrepresentation of descriptions of the Koguryo (Goguryeo) empire (37 BC to 668 AD) whose territory included part of a Chinese regional kingdom. This strong warrior state successively defeated invading armies of the Chinese empires.

In the Chinese version, Koguryo was incorporated into a Chinese historical timeline and included a claim that these people were of "han" Chinese descent. Beijing also interfered with an effort by Pyongyang to place Koguryo tombs on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage list of historic sites.

Ethnic Koreans that had lived in the region previously known as Manchuria for many centuries formed the core of the empire. Eventually, their capital was moved to Pyongyang from Jian in Manchuria in the fourth century.

After Koreans and Manchurian tribes lived together for centuries, they were incorporated into Chinese territory with a treaty by Japan and the Qing dynasty in China in 1909. It is amusing to think that Marxist-Leninists insist that unequal treaties signed by imperial powers have any legitimate force. It was left to Korean learned societies to insist that Beijing place the Korean kingdom of Koguryo in its proper historical perspective.

For its part, Beijing insists that everyone else should exercise the highest standards of historical probity. For example, the media and diplomatic channels have been used to criticize the content of Japanese history textbooks. It is a blatant act of hypocrisy to be inconsistent in stating concerns over the correct retelling of past deeds and misdeeds.

It is likely that the incident is part of a well-orchestrated and purposeful attempt to increase its political influence in Northeast Asia. This probably reflects concern over the large numbers of ethnic Koreans living in the northeastern provinces of Laoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang that were granted considerable autonomy during the early 1950s.

Gee, so they built the Great Wall to keep fellow Hans out?  They should be thankful that Koreans are not asking for restoration of the Koguryo territory.  Here is a map of Koguryo:

Korean peninsula had its own version of the Three Kingdoms as you can tell by the presence of three other countries in the Korean peninsula.  Here is a map showing Koguryo's war with Dang Dynasty.  Note Koguryo's own version of the Great Wall.  Apparently, wall building was fashionable back then.

Those red dots along the wall are castles.  The redline crossing the sea means Dang couldn't get through by land so they attacked by sea, a daring move but I don't think too many of them went home.

BTW, the name Korea originates from Koryo (aka Goryeo), a nation that followed (I am grossly simplifying here) Koguryo (aka Goguryeo).  Koreans apparently likes to recycle old names.  Before Koguryo, there was Gochosun which occupied pretty much the same territory.  For 500 years prior to the Japanese occupation, the name of the much shrunken country was Chosun.  Maybe the next one should be just simply Ko.

Looks like Bush loses by one vote in this group

While non-Americans trying to influence the outcome of an American election is weird and I have mixed feelings about it, I must say they got some balls.  If I had to guess, I think their argument is that it's their business if they are affected by the result of the election.
