How Taiwan Can Defend Its Coastline Against China

On Philosophical Tyrants
It will be hard to find a man capable of greater brutality than a philosopher who is devoted to creating a perfect society based on his own philosophical theories. A country where philosophers rule directly, or indirectly by joining hands with the politicians, is always a miserable place.

They will keep philosophizing while the country’s economy and standard of living goes down the drain. A normal politician ma... more »
