elmat, besides deteriorating inexorably into irrelevancy, having a cow, and still talking olives, is also handicapped by hangup w/r to the quaint concept he terms 'copying', without realising invention and application are separate / distinct phases of development
even as china continues to copy, learn, study, deliberate, apply, innovate etc etc etc
i.e. china copies the manufacturing of tires, becomes the largest manufacturer of tires, innovates in the making of tires, and exports more tires irrespective of trade sanction-this and tariff-barrier-that
i am at the moment watching china re-inventing alex g bell's telephone by way of quantum satellite micius, and re-iterating the compass, a china invention, in the form of XPNAV-1 pulsar navigation system - elmat would of course claim pulsar navigation is a copy of the GPS system :0)
playing the piano for a cow would predictably yield little result, and so perhaps i am wasting my time in trying to save soul. time shall tell. must try best, even at the risk of being labeled olive man ;0) |
