Opinions about Thailand and enlightening idea
(Some parts of this entry are only memo of what is considered as classified information respectively to thinkers.)
I just talked 3 hours straight with my friend doing his Ph.D. in UK. We kind of talked all sorts of topics like Thai political crisis (what is going on, possible causes, possible outcome etc.), how to promote pure science in Thailand, what can be done in Thailand etc.
We both agreed that the situation in Thailand is deteriorating because of politics. As I mentioned many times here, we believed that all problems are due to lack of education, educational promotion, corruption, selfishness, unfairness, politicians and unreasonable course of actions by people.
This year’s conference of Thai students in UK shows that Thailand have no strength and full of weak points. We kinda agree that Thailand has no future if there are still no development in education and society. It is ironic that many of those with power and authorities do nothing to prevent the deterioration of society but ones without them seek for the solution. As an agricultural country, why can’t Thailand walk forward? There are many reasons. People know the answers. Nevertheless, nobody cares to resolve them. Even though His Majesty King Rama IX of Thailand stated something like that he will be happy if people are happy, and all Thais love him and want him to be happy, nobody actually tries to resolve the problem.
In our conclusion regarding to Thai political crisis, Thaksin may not be at fault unless he is actually that crazy. Nevertheless he still has to hold responsibility of what’d happened so far because people around him are badasses and troublemakers and all problems and chaos are undeniably linked to him.
After we were done with Thailand’s issues, we talked about what we can accomplish in Thailand that is new and no one in Thailand, and perhaps on Earth, has done. We came up with two solid projects which are related to data analysis, synthesis, visualization, audiovisual, vocalization and auditory. Although that’s all I can say about them, my friend and I still disagree about the scope of work. What we have are not profitable but they are fun and cool to accomplish. They may step into Web-3.0 (semantic-web) boundary but working with text analysis on Thai language is extremely difficult. Let’s see what we can do.
So, in the end, it might be unproductive quarter of 2010 but I have more time to think of what interesting can be done.

SUMMER WARS サマーウォーズ
SUMMER WARS (サマーウォーズ) is the best animation of 2009 so far. I have never seen anything like it. I like the storyline, soundtrack, visual design, animation and characters. I kinda like scientific fiction genre but none of them ever show the power of Mathematics like this one. It may look a little bit fantasy but it shows some parts of possibility in reality.
