This book examines the popular, yet puzzling, Chinese saying Nande hutu 难得糊涂 to uncover how the ancient Chinese wisdom of not knowing is constructed, interpreted, practiced and valued in contemporary society. Originating in the calligraphy of Qing-dynasty scholar Zheng Banqiao, Nande hutu translates literally as: “hard to attain muddle-headedness”. Mieke Matthyssen traces the historical development of this saying and related philosophies to reveal a culturally conditioned, multi-layered inclination to different forms of not knowing. In contemporary society, she argues, this inclination forms part of a living art: in some respects, a passive, evasive strategy for self-preservation; in other respects, a strategy for coping with intrapersonal, interpersonal and social complexities. Drawing on an extensive range of primary sources and original research, the analysis skillfully combines philosophical and socio-historical analysis with theory from Chinese philosophy, philosophical psychology and the relatively new field of indigenous psychology, to provide an in-depth understanding of how Nande hutu has shaped, and continues to shape, the Chinese psyche and behaviour. This book will appeal to all readers looking for fresh insights into Chinese culture, and in particular to students and scholars of Chinese and Asian studies, cultural and social anthropology, and philosophical and indigenous psychology.

In is story I had to look in the dictionary to see what bliss meant, the dictionary says it mean; supreme happiness, or the joy of heaven, or the cause of great joy. We all know what ignorance means, now for it to be use together, what was someone were trying to say. Me myself it sound like the Kane and Abel concept, where that one of the son was able to progress easy and the father understood what he was trying to do, and the other son raise a lot of Kane, stay angry because they did not have the patience to take their time to do anything right, one mind was in peace with their self for being able to understand the things that they are doing, so we can call that one a understanding and respectful bliss, now the other mind that was angry all the time for not having patience took the weaker road, it was more easier for him to create trouble and scheme than to take his time and do it right, and that became his bliss to make his self comfortable with himself being wrong. Two types of bliss are with two different lifestyles that approach life in a way that was more understandable for them both. I will be talking about a lot of things that I have seen or heard as well as experience during my life time, and you will see the thing that I am revealing which have been done in the past that have program some of us to function the same way in the future, which we never grow out of maybe because we was not taught how to change from one level to another level. You will see people that hold a life time grudge for something that happen when they was a young person and talk about it like it happen yesterday. But now at fifty years old and over they still talk about wanting revenge over something that was so small that they should had paid no mind to it and went on with their life. Some of these grudges are things that are a part of growing up, the things that one experience in their life from making mistakes by picking the wrong people to hang with. Then you will have some people blame their parents for not being able to have the same benefits that the other kids had when they was young, and at fifty years old and over they still bring it up to their parents like it was yesterday for not taking care of them more better.

John Lloyd and John Mitchinson have proven themselves to be masters at digging up obscure facts, abstruse information, and amusing anecdotes and presenting them effortlessly, somewhat slyly, with either great wit or at least a little bit of tongue in cheek. Their gifts are on full display in Quote Interesting, a lively, wonderfully enjoyable anthology of hundreds of quotes you probably have never heard before, arranged thematically from A to Z. From laugh-out-loud-funny bon mots to some real headscratchers, Lloyd and Mitchinson have gathered a universe of star-studded blurbs like: “The Beatles are dying in the wrong order.” —Victor Lewis Smith “When you forget to eat, you know you’re alive.” —Henry James “I think people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.” —Nancy Reagan “You know ‘that look’ women get when they want sex? Me neither.” —Steve Martin

The New York Times–bestselling co-author of Nudge explores how more information can make us happy or miserable—and why we sometimes avoid it but sometimes seek it out. How much information is too much? Do we need to know how many calories are in the giant vat of popcorn that we bought on our way into the movie theater? Do we want to know if we are genetically predisposed to a certain disease? Can we do anything useful with next week's weather forecast for Paris if we are not in Paris? In Too Much Information, Cass Sunstein examines the effects of information on our lives. Policymakers emphasize “the right to know,” but Sunstein takes a different perspective, arguing that the focus should be on human well-being and what information contributes to it. Government should require companies, employers, hospitals, and others to disclose information not because of a general “right to know” but when the information in question would significantly improve people's lives. Of course, says Sunstein, we are better off with stop signs, warnings on prescription drugs, and reminders about payment due dates. But sometimes less is more. What we need is more clarity about what information is actually doing or achieving.

The Ignorance of Bliss tells the true story of ten-year-old Sandy, who moves with her American military family to Saigon, Vietnam where her father, the Colonel, serves as a military advisor to the South Vietnamese Army. In 1960s Saigon, Sandy finds a world of crushing poverty and extraordinary beauty; a world of streets, villas, and brothels, where politics and intrigue reside between plot and counterplot. Blissfully living a life of French decadence, Sandy maneuvers between coups, spies, bombings, corruption, and scandal as she and her thirteen-year-old brother, Tom, run an illicit baby powder and Hershey bar business on the black market and live a life of school, scouts, dance parties, and movies at the underground theater. When the Colonel’s counterpart, Colonel Le Van Sam, delivers an expose on the current ruling Diem regime, Sandy finds that her constant spying on her father’s activities has brought her face to face with the reality of Vietnam and the anti-American sentiment that pervades it. This coming-of age story takes place in a turbulent country striving for nationalism, giving the reader a stunning look into the life of military dependents living abroad and the underlying ignorance that surrounded a little understood time in history.

Nothing we think we know - NOTHING - is likely to be correct. If Ignorance is Bliss, We Should All Be Ecstatic explores the limitations of knowledge and argues that neither reasoning nor direct observation can be trusted. Not only are they unreliable sources, but they do not even justify assigning probabilities to claims about what we can know. This position, called radical skepticism, has intrigued philosophers since before the birth of Christ, yet nobody has been able to refute it. Fred Leavitt uses two unique methods of presentation. First, he supports abstract arguments with summaries of real-life examples from many and varied fields, which make the arguments much more convincing and compelling. He cites more than 200 studies from psychology, mathematics, chaos theory, quantum mechanics, evolutionary theory, history, the corporate world, politics, the military, and current news reporting. Second, Leavitt's writing is user-friendly, even when dealing with complex issues. Whether answering the telephone, turning on the TV, talking with friends, or munching on an apple, we expect things to happen predictably. These expectations, paired with radical skepticism, exemplify cognitive dissonance at the highest level.

Cruel and unusual punishment. There's countries all over the world that torturing their own people when super powerful countries are doing business in those countries or doing business in neighboring countries. How can a so called Human Rights countries allow the torture of poor countries for decades? Does the superpower have their blinders on for a reason? Is that reason for profit that being beneficial for them only? Does superpower countries supposed to be the protector of the world? Yes! Is, the people in those superpower countries are so selfish? Yes! Will the people in those countries grow to a level that will put them on an understanding to bring consciousness to their awareness? Maybe! Is time on our side? No! We the people of the superpower countries have to start acting fast, or the people of the world gone to move back to a barbarian mentality. It's by right that the Conqueror's put this world back in order like it was before they started playing barbarian game throughout the world, "and that should be Kings, Queens, Presidents, Congresses, The Corporate world, and the barbarian Religion world. They have to take the responsibility in the way the people act and think towards each other. It's the leaders of the world to be responsible in teaching each other the kindness before war concept, and to be the bigger person to stay humble to spread peace around the world, when they know that they carry the big guns. I believe that leaders need to learn how to stop worrying about their popular ratings and focus on bring the world back in harmony with each other.See people was not designed to function like the way leaders having people acting, and if the leaders have a brain in their head it would not be hard for them to understand that their acts are creating bad things to happen to the world, by take from the earth in a barbarian way. Which nature speaking to us to stop what we doing, or it in time will allow us to self-destroy ourselves on our own accord, that nature will have nothing to do with.
