“The most practical way to predict the future is to question the expected”
A nice book about geopolitics with very bipolared reviews (as many disagree with his predictions). While I disagree parts of it as well, one should remember that at the beginning of 20th century, probably few would believe that in the next 50 years there will be two world wars.
讀這種書,思路比結論重要太多了
姑且不論預測如何,可以確定的是以人口如此劇烈變化(不過30年就從勸說”兩個恰恰好”到少子化),再加上科技的威力,未來肯定是要解決人類史上未曾面對過的問題。
這樣的世界中的台灣該如何呢?小國通常只能看大國之間的情勢見機行事,以台灣還算有彈性且沒有陸地上仳鄰國家,聰明點其實可以抓到好位子。但小國沒有本錢鎖國,也沒太多空間犯錯。老美可以有一堆人看腦殘的實境節目也不會怎樣,但我們沒本錢不思考,所以,教育很重要,冷靜思考很重要,關心國際情勢很重要
