A prestigious journalist interviewed an old poet living in a regional city. The journalist is famous for having been interviewing several persons through very deep inner inquiry and multi-lateral viewpoints over a long period. He is also writer that published his own novel in the past. But at this time my excitement was disappointingly shattered.
The interviewed story written on the full page constituted the old poet’s trifles with hard drinks and complaints towards the central literary circles of Seoul. The person who is said having written poems for 50 years owed his unknown to ‘the status of regional poets’.
What a grumbling about regionalism in the internet age! He appears to say that he should be ‘great’ poet that critics do not know the value of. Nevertheless, he never talked about poetic meaningful themes and creation.
Subsequently he referred to ‘romanticism’, which means ‘hard drinking’ in Korea literary circles. In other words, the poetic world is the one that a drunken poet sees, maybe the drunken world would be ‘romantic’ or ‘fantastic’. Most Korean poets seem to be false admirer for Li Taibo (李太白), who would not be pleased of their inferiority.
He also sneered at flashy knowledge of his poetry teacher, remembering in his literature classes. The reason he do not like his teacher is guessed in his saying context because the teacher explained French poets in class whose poems should have been difficult to understand.
Most Korean poets are so ignorant that they are always singing their home town, drinking hard. A few learned ones are at best ‘uncreative’ adorers of meditation, Nothing.
He might have thought earnest and heavy themes ‘useless’ or ‘meaningless’ in his higher poetry world. If so, he should have refused the interviewing proposal of the reporter. We readers do not want to hear his ‘romanticism’.
Korean pop, music, musical, drama, films, and art are elating their levels globally, at least recognized differentiated and unique places. But Korean literature lingers over a ‘literary youth’. How to be a literary adult:
Firstly, Korean writers must escape ‘infantile’ meditation and void abstract philosophy.
Secondly, Korean writers must not be proud of their ignorance about world literature classics.
Thirdly, Korean writers should leave their home town.
Fourthly, they should not write poems in a mood of alcoholic drinks. (The end)

The Abuse of Design Patent Kills Creativity
Apple is abusing design patent. Honestly It is doubtful whether design has to be in an area of patent or not.
Assume the next: A rich person built a Victorian residence in a suburb. Attracted by it, neighbors followed building or renewed their houses of the same style. Such the case, the rich person would sue the neighbors in charge of infringement. Is it persuadable?
Picasso first learned Impressionism and then created Cubism. During his living, many of many artists pursued Picasso’s paintings and styles. Picasso did not sue them, as long as they did not copy his pieces as it is.
Design is substantially derived of ‘beauty’ or ‘feeling’. The beauty and feeling are naturally easy to be alike. Therefore, design patent must be limited to very narrow conditions. It is believed common sense that the smartphones and tablets such that small size and functions are far from the narrow conditions available to design patent..
The concept of patent system concerns not ‘design’ (beauty and feeling), but technology, about which we can judge the originality scientifically and clearly.
If Apple claims are accepted, the patent system would be doubted, and more might be overruled as useless.
There is an Eastern proverb, “Too much is as bad as too little.” Patent system has contributed to the industrial advance. But the abuse of patent now is killing creativity and industry.
Apple has been seemed too proud of ‘design’ creativity, ‘who else can dare to create the same level of our design?’ We can confirm Apple’s self-pride seeing that it operates the enclosed app market excluding non-members. Steve Jobs seemed to stick to his success, which he thought depended upon the creative design. He could haven’t forgiven Samsung’s phones as looked like his design. He that was angry sued Samsung too emotionally. But he made a large mistake, ignoring the basic vulnerability of design patent.
‘Design’ is not a magic. If someone says their design is purely creative, he or she is a liar. Apple’s designers would have seen Sony’s. Perfect design creativity is really a fantasy or magic.
We live on one earth conditioned by the God, so that any giant cannot found their own ecosystem for themselves. If so, the artificial, profane market will be punished to the extinction.
We globizens live in the Internet age, the most remarkable feature of which is the diffusion of knowledge and information freely and swiftly.
The next (South Korea, Taiwan) or third (China) generation of developing countries would be following the western levels speedier than the first generation (Japan) did.
We must humiliate ourselves to keep the top. (The end)

Speed Management for Global Recession
Eurozone is more getting into the deep mire, let alone settle down. Even Germany’s credit was downward to ‘negative’.
The U.S.A also has been experiencing economic difficulties since opening this century due to the substantial weakness. To put it simply, the advanced countries themselves are collapsing collectively. Who do they owe the present situations to?
In my opinion, it might be the God’s penalty or the twilight of the great western civilization ending their given roles. It seems that the political leaders lost their confidence to control the laziness-accustomed people and voracious elites. In fact, too much loads are pressing down on the current politicians’ shoulders of the advanced countries.
Back to the principles! Tighten the belt. Do not worship the idols of modern knowledge and culture. Recover the Christianity.
NO one can know uncertain situations. In such a case, we should pay attention to present ones, and then immediately move on toward the near hills or valleys. We should not waste time to know the future more completely, which only belongs to the God. We are having a hand-to-hand combat.
In other words, we could name it ‘Speed Management’. In relation to ‘Speed Management’, Korea’s big companies are considered most competitive in the world, because we are always in a state of emergency, being the truce with the North Korea.
Korea’s big companies still maintain the attitude of learning anything valuable. They are very fast to inhale whatever global ones have. In Seoul, many business-related seminars take place continually all the year round.
I think that many economists’ advice of the advanced countries seems inimical to their healthy economy. The news media spread the harmful claims of the ‘false prophets’ such as money supply and quantitative easing. As we spent extravagantly, we should spend less and save more, and additionally we have to repent our sins like excessive consuming, unrestrained enjoying. (The end)
