(But due to illness he had his paper read by the president of the society on behalf of him.) Andrew Combe was the younger brother of George Combe, th..

We live largely ignoring the most precious thing for our life. Is it money? or repute? fame? social status? job position? house? car? ... Whatever.. If we got an accident and the airway (respiratory tract) got suffocated, our brain begins to enter the state of brain death in just less than 10 minutes. The movie, Gravity, starred by George Clooney, shows well the preciousness o..

The human is weak. He is particularly weak at controlling his emotions. The human cannot resist against the power of emotion. No one can win in that fight.

Dangers of the reductionist approach In British history, one of the things that I've found surprising is its contrasting features of the minds of the intellectuals between the nineteenth century and the present. Over the period of less than two centuries, British intellectual society has significantly lost its interest and passion in the concept of self-responsibility. The pass..

... is a provisional title of my future book that I want to write after finishing my doctorate program. However, I am not interested in drawing lines or setting boundaries between professionalism and amateurism.
