Why Sri Lanka won't prosper

China, America, India like super powers don't want Sri Lanka to prosper, this should be understood by all Sri Lankana. The reason, Sri Lanka is such a tiny country, land mass population is merger. One of the poorest countries. So much internal conflict, be ethnic, religious, language, party politics, cast and so on. Long ago Sri Lanka should have been annulled. Why not? The strategic situation of Sri Lanka. So super powers want to keep it. Everyone like to own it. But others don't allow. The best they can do is, keep it from disintegrating, but keep it poor, don't let it prosper, ago they can manipulate it. This is engraved in foreign policies of these countries, therefore whoever in power does not change it. So, stop fighting each other and get together. Our we will never change and not allowed to change.

Dr. Mahathir- Malaysia, compared to Sirisena of Sri Lanka. In youtube blog. A reply.
What it's said is true. But, well why a "but" when everything is true. There is an important fact we always forget, that is, our country is small, our population is small, we are the poorest. So do we have enough might to go against China? No. Singapore is a small country. It did prosper. Well it had a good leader, at the proper time. There is another factor(I realised recently) we are in a strategic location, America want it, so does China and India. But no one can't have it. So they (the next best option) don't what others to have it. So what is the strategy, to achieve it? Make the country poor. Being poor we don't have the might to stand up against these countries, like Malaysia did to China.

Government servants are civil servants not military. They do not need to obey illegal directions by their superiors. Each government department has a structure. It is obvious that bond auction was not done by the minister or the governor, but a set of central bank officials with an officer in charge. Now they are the ones who come forward and give evidence that a scam took place. This is a strange country. Why is it auditor general nor the Commission find fault of them. It is like the all the murders have become crown witnesses and some others are found fault with. Politicians may be corrupt but their life span is 4 years, the government servants 30 years. For 500 politicians there are 1.5m government servants. Can we become a clean country with this setup of lethargic and corrupt government servants.

 Education: 21.09.2018

I do have experience of trying to teach a dyslecsic child, and knows how difficult it is. I know most of the teachers gives up, or try to use punishment tool to do it. It won't work. In the it is difficult to send the child to school. Sometimes the child will become a mental wreck. I have observed something can be achieved with patience, love and good attitude.

I want to give this example because, most of our teaching methods go against this. you have to understand bright students are minority and majourity cannot learn with ease. But all teachers like to teach only bright students. Even our education system and society at large have the same attitude. that is "everyone can learn in the same way, if proper effort is made" therefore it is the fault ot the student if he can’t learn. this is wrong. Everyone is not equal.

Stop having exams to identity the better students.

Stop having any type of competitive exams (specially when the child is young) to grade their knowledge.

Teach child to tech each other. This is the method used by teenagers, leaning from pears. They don't listen either to teachers or parents. They listen only to pears.

Use it to very young, less than 5 year olds.

Teacher should be there to help and guide.

Learning is a distributed activity. Not a personal thing. You cannot learn anything by yourself only. 

Religion 05.10.2018

Is religion has some part why we can't prosper? Or reason for the sorry state we are in. In Sri Lanka the main religion is Protestant Buddhism. This is not what preach by Buddha, exactly. It is a deviation of Therawada Buddhism. I think it is not a religion, but to liberate Sinhalese Buddhists. To resaract old glory of Sinhala race. Stating from Maha Wansa. Dutu Gamunu, in ancient times and Anagarika Dharmapala of by gone are, then Soma There, of resent times.

We tend to blame everything on politicians. Then we blame about the greedyness of the society. First think how does a society become greedy? Well, we are guided by religion to live good lives. Has the religion failed to deliver? Then we start the blame game and try to find scapegoats. Open economy, western powers, these are in the forefront of targets of blame. 

Why don't we think something is wrong the way we are thinking. In recent times racism combined with Buddhism influence our thinking greatly. But we argue that, it is the same with Islam in middle Eastian countries, or other Christian Western countries. Say for instance  Hitler's Germany is a good example which succeed it. Though by going too far, created their own destruction. In current times Israel is prospering with the help of America and the West.

It is true this method was a success in other countries. But it don't mean we can do the same and be successful. Because countries are like individuals, they are not the same. One successful method may not be successful to another. Just like individuals. We know that it is true, about individuals. But what we don't understand is that, it is true for countries. Countries differ like individuals, the land mass, the population, wealth and prosperity and intelligence are some. We have to think what is right for us. People try to apply communism, or capitalism, or liberalism blindly. It won't work.

Secondary Knowledge

What is the connection with schrodinger's cat and Wheeler's delayed choice experiment. In the first the secondary knowledge is blocked, until the box is opened to see whether the cat is alive or dead. In the second the secondary knowledge is cooked up, or forcibly confirmed.

Leave aside the above statement. Primary knowledge is the detection of the evidence of an event by our senses. Light photon entering your eye. A sound phonon entering the ear. something like th e wind brushes your skin. The more important part is a photon entering your eye.
Primary knowledge is no knowledge. It will tell us nothing about the environment around us. To be knowledge others should also know what I knew. Others also should experience the same experience I had. So primary knowledge is almost useless, without supporting structure. Even in a court of law someone giving evidence of seeing something is doubted in the first instance. The doubt need to be cleared by showing that the witness is an expert witness, or pass the cross examination by the opposition lawyer. Someone saying something is not accepted in a court of law.

Real knowledge need secondary knowledge. Knowledge of an event is mostly, receipt of a photon resulting from the event. (Other events will have similar interactions). But it seems that, that is not enough. Secondary knowledge is other things that happen around the event. Evidence of a candle light  in existence is stream of photons emitted by it. Not one photon. The structure of the candle, the appearance of the flame, the shape of the flame, the colour of the flame, how long it was light. Many people could see it light. Then there should be a structure in the receiving end. It should be able to analyse the picture of the flame(this is done by our brain). If we take a photograph of it for others to see later, it need a camera. Also some sort of evidence should be provided that the photo is actually of that candle(not a photo of some other candle taken before). If a renowened scientist say he saw the candle light people will except his word. There is a similarity of evidence given by an expert witness. The court trust the witness. The world at large should trust the expert. Evidence to prove he is an expert should also be provided.

Therefore proof of an event is not primary knowledge. I feel both in schrodinger's cat and Wheeler's delayed choice experiment tries to use the primary knowledge to prove an event. Putting the cat in a box shut out all interaction with the environment of the experiment. Using one single photon to do the delayed choice experiment, only primary knowledge is used.

Current Sri Lanka

Here we go round and round, giving wrong messages to public, for political gains. The truth, no public official or politician will say. We have fought a war we couldn't afford. After that without trying to recover economy by hard work, we spent massively on infrastructure. Roads though useful, lot of foreign funding was utilized. Useless, Sports stadiums, airports, harbors, were built with borrowed money.Then after that sting of work stoppages demanding sometimes wages, sometime stupid demands. Well, no wonder rupee depreciated- no need for economist to point out. Then 80% livelihood agriculture. No end of droughts. World Wether pattern changes, we can't do anything about it. We thrive from foreign exchange from Middle eastern worker income. Buddhists resists Muslim culture creeping in- reason with money the culture flows. For 500 years, We are used to European culture- thinks it as Buddhist values. But can't bear recent tendeds.

This was the case in London 100 years ago. Read Oliver Twist. But England was rich with all the money they looted from colonies. But we are poor poor. There is no hope for people to come out of this hell hole. At least start stop deceiving us by ourselves in the first instance, them people who govern should also stop deceiving public. In election they promise what cannot be kept. And we believe that there are simple solutions like changing politicians or punishing the corrupt will give us a dream land.
