Words for a Sci-Fi Utopia
James F. Larson, and ROK President Lee Myung-bak, offer a new word-for most of us at least-to remember, infodemic.
An advanced society is characterized by the dominance of rationality and civic virtues. A society rampant with excessive emotional behavior, disorderliness and rudeness cannot be called an advanced society by any measure.
In this connection, we have to guard against «infodemics,» a phenomenon in which inaccurate, false information is disseminated, prompting social unrest that spread like epidemics.
It is about time we began to firmly respect and understand each other better and extend generosity and thoughtfulness to other people. Generosity and thoughtfulness are instrumental to overcoming the age of confrontation and divisiveness and forging ahead with the age of harmony and partnership. society.
The human need for leadership is quite irrational, but necessary.
