2. About politics. Democracy involves indoctrination and incitement of the masses. Questions about the collective unconscious, conformity, the utility and efficiency of democracy, and the tyranny of the majority are discussed in social psychology and political philosophy.
3. About education. Every child has his own innate talents and interests, and taking care of them rather than restraining them can give them a happy and valuable life. At the same time, in education, we should organically coordinate natural exploration, social attention and humanistic quality, and pay attention to the development of hands-on ability. (Chinese education has gone further and further down the wrong road.)
4. Regarding the quality of citizens. Freedom of speech is not the path to truth, freedom of speech is a natural right. No person or group of people can claim that they have the truth to deprive others of their freedom of speech. At the same time, in social life, we must maintain a basic tolerance for people who are not the same as the general public. Everyone has their own experience, value and other limitations, and cannot arbitrarily interfere with other people's lives for granted.
5. About the value of life. Life and wisdom, no matter how small and no matter how insignificant, are unique and irreplaceable parts of this world, and they are the unspeakable great miracles of this world.
In the end, alas, I don't know when China will have better education, better politics, better civic quality, and more respect for the value of life and rights. . . and better looking cartoons.
