Lecture for HK University How constrained geospace affects the mindset of people On putting together and maintaining island socio-eco systems. I am just back form an Island assignment in Mauritius. Islands are very peculiar places. Not much different from HK in the respect of what I call. How constrained geospace affects the mindset of people OR Elroy wants me to lift the hood on HK Take Cuba. Former USSR decided to show case their system to America and America was showcasing Germany. It was possible only on a limited space laboratory experiment kind of nation state. They could do only on an island as the people have the limitations of a mindset constrained by geography. Note, though that a city-state such as Singapore of HK are such constrained spaces that limits the mindset of the inhabitants. As result of the lab experiment Cuba spent 56 years as a museum of failed policies of the USSR. Its people with the limitations of their mindsets accepted the situation of planting sugar cane and rolling cigars and were happy with that. Mauritius is, today, a Cuba if Castro not have happened. Sugar cane plantations in the center, resorts owns the whole coastal areas, a tax heaven (its has a $12bn GDP and is first investor in India with $96bn FDI there( and is now trying to build a technical shelter for companies using the money pouring in. Cuba is not going to progress much farther and will return to its natural size which is to become a Mauritius. Islands are prone to Cargo Cult Islands are prone to cargo cult (in the Melanesian Islands) a system of belief based around the expected arrival of ancestral spirits in ships bringing cargoes of food and other goods. China is prone to cargo cult too. Libertarian economist Bryan Caplan has referred to Communism as "the largest cargo cult the world has ever seen," describing the economic strategy of the 20th-century Communist leaders as "mimicking a few random characteristics of advanced economies," such as the production of steel. China is just exporting -with its infrastructure projects- its cargo cult mentality to places that are underdeveloped and unsophisticated. City Sates and Islands have not economic landscapes. Of course I can develop this concept of HK expanding their views. First TJ should stop going to an island (which both is us like Koh Samui, Take his kids in a gas guzzling huge SUV and go to central US or central Brazil and see the expanses that you drive and drive and drive and never get to the other side. This is a change of concept of grasping the expanses that the brain has never experienced He would see 100Km of soybean fields at both sides of the road. TJ would see cities that came. Gone. Others being expanding and another going down as such is the mature of the economic landscape.
