Excellent Sheep

From earlier notes:

  • Humanities replace church. China fails on innovation bc no liberal arts
  • Action and contemplation
    • in education: Information vs understanding - you can transmit information online but not build real understanding; action vs contemplation - expertise requires focus/specialization to ‘do’, but you can think about much more
  • Lack of Chinese innovation from lack of liberal arts education
  • Reproducing the class system (ch 11)
  • Cabinet is all elite. You need knowledge of and intelligence of all parts of the community
  • Hoops, tracking, etc is stressful and negative impact later on. None of them understand the other side.
