Corona quarantine and rational system

Dozens of years ago in Italy, a porn star named Chichiola was elected to Parliament. Italy was a phenomenal country for young people living under the military government of Korea. Italy was an advanced country in a good way and an unreasonable country in a bad way. Korea and Italy were very different in dealing with the Corona situation. Korea seems to have a strong government system working and Italy doesn’t.

Professor Chang Ha-joon, an economist, says liberal market economists play a big role in fostering political distrust. And when political distrust grows, popular politicians intervene in politics, he says. But government system intervention generally results in good results, he says. Of course he is referring to a democratic and utilitarian government, not a dictatorship.

In the run-up to the US presidential election in 2000, there was an opinion poll, reported in the Financial Times, that asked people not just which candidate they supported but also why they didn’t support the other candidate. Most frequently cited as the reason for not supporters, was that he was ‘too political’.

The public, who abhor politics, sometimes chooses an extremely non-political figure. Sometimes they choose a businessman because of the constant perception that the economy is important. Or the public chooses porn stars, athletes and comedians. If these choices result in rationality within social diversity, we may be able to achieve the ideal of a democratic nation. Or, if a person without utilitarian purpose and knowledge is elected only by popular recognition, it could be an incentive for the collapse of the state or social system.

We also see irrational and religious figures trying to get involved in politics somehow in Korea. Perhaps there is a desire to ride free in the rational political system and dress up as rational. Or they may feel a sense of crisis in their increasingly narrow position.

Considering the Corona defense system in Korea and Italy this time, I think that the rational system saves the people and strengthens the system.

The Mongolian army has traditionally organized its forces on the basis of rationality, as ancient armies have often done. The troops were compiled in units of ten, a hundred, a thousand and ten thousand, respectively. Each unit had a commander, and the large unit had a small staff. Genghiz Khan complements and complements the system of organization, and finally has created a standard for the entire Mongolian army. By setting standards for the organizational system, training officers and soldiers has also become much easier.
