1. Insecurity is the price we need to pay for freedom.

  2. I suggest that the general public should consider enforcing Eugenic laws so that our offspring can thrive. Low-end population should think carefully about whether they should have offspring or not. Human degeneration is very possible if we allow the low-end population reproduce without imposing limitation.

  3. I want to share with you the phenomenon I have observed so far since I was a kid.

  6. Working in software industry in the states over the years, I’ve never heard people ask about books for guidelines to coding; most companies have either written or unwritten styling guides.

  7. I am afraid my problem is due to biological difference. I suspect I was born without empathy. My parents told me that sometime I was cold-blooded.

  8. Like many Asian countries, it’s better to assimilate to the monotony than to be different. Culture is rooted in tradition. Times are changing, but not fast enough for people to tolerate or leave room for misunderstanding/misgivings. Mental healthcare or acceptance of non-neurotypical is not as discussed or accepted in the East as in the West.

  9. I am afraid what you say may be true. Companies' PR slogans such as "We embrace diversity", or "We are international" have caused so much cognitive dissonance in my mind that whenever I see slogans like that, I think of companies as liars, and hence bad impression on corporations.

  10. As an American working here in Taiwan, I can tell you that all of my Taiwanese colleagues have a bleak future. I feel that there needs to be revolution, a cultural revolution. But I'm not certain how that cultural revolution can come about without losing some of the unique qualities of Taiwanese society. The collectivism must certainly be difficult to grow up in. The stress that is placed on the younger generation to achieve and achieve and achieve in a society that does not have that much opportunity for its youth.

  11. As an organism, my job is to adapt. I remember an author said this: "Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative." I will struggle to adapt, for otherwise I would perish.

  12. Sounds like you need to go to your local temple or go for a walk on one of the Mazu pilgrimmages. If paganism isn't your thing, maybe go hang out at a music festival in Yilan. Maybe just quit and spend a month scooting around the island.

  13. I do talk to mental health counselors. However, I also know that they need to have a Master's degree to do their profession. And the pay does not seem to be rewarding either.

  14. In Psychology, people believe there is a phenomenon called "Homeostasis". Basically, the reward for taking pain is pleasure, and the punishment for taking pleasure is subsequent pain.

  15. Yes, the "Agile methodology" is a de facto industry standard when it comes to software development. There are a number of "frameworks" on how to "do agile software development", such as Scrum, SAFe, and others, but don't be fooled, those are really products developed for selling "agile transformation" to companies who haven't transitioned from the "waterfall methodology", which used to be dominant.

  16. Thank you for pointing out that there may be some scam elements in this Agile hype. You also mentioned that Agile methodology is already a de facto industry standard. If possible, could you recommend me some books about Agile which are not intended to scam people?

  17. 我們現在也反共阿,不得不反。就算會發生戰爭,就算我們得被逼著上戰場當炮灰,我們也不得不反。鄧麗君的歌曲很好聽,她是少數在我們九零後還記得的早期歌星。

  18. My personal understanding is that college departments like Liberal Arts and Humanities do not need students to grind as hard as STEM departments do. On the other hand, isn't it reasonable for Arts majors to contact people more frequently rather than to spend time on books only?

  19. I also feel interested in Intelligence.

  20. As a German, it's funny to me to hear people around the world talk about the impact of the schools name. In Germany the particular university is pretty unimportant. I was participating in an interview process for a new co-worker a few month ago and University was only important as so far as the grades were ok. Most important were the task specific experiences they already had.

  21. In Taiwan, we have credentialism. A college / university degree is a must-have if you want to keep your self-esteem since pretty much everyone has a college / university degree.

  22. I could not agree more on this.

  23. 我記得國際法有相關規定,好像是某一件事實持續存在超過五十年以上,大家就可以承認是真實的。確切是幾年我並不清楚。會需要訂定一個追溯的時效是有道理的。

  24. I am also a depression patient. In retrospect, I was the kid who studied hard but my parents thought of keeping my scores high as a kind of obligation. They never rewarded me for earning high scores. Now I attend the mental counseling offered by my university from time to time.

  25. You should post video and pictures. Or at least mention which metropolitan area you witnessed this. Otherwise it just sounds like one of hundreds of other poor attempts at spreading F.U.D. about Taiwan's participation in democracy, and international congress.

  26. I witnessed this situation in New Taipei city.

  27. Went into your house? I've never seen beggars like that

  28. They claimed that they worked for some kind of charity. However, because fraudulent activities in Taiwan were so prevalent, I did not agree on helping them.

  29. This is the wage data from Ministry of Labor. On average, local Buxiban teachers only earn 36,750 NTD per month. You, as a foreign teacher, are expected to earn roughly twice that amount.
