Teaching Japanese Philosophy
This is of course also came from a frozen dream but that will be at the end of this piece.
This piece is global and hope nobody should take any offense.
I would finish with Australia and Ceylon
Australia
Australia has three problems.
The second visit to this country confirms those presumptions.
1. Fire
2. Obesity
3. Chinese invasion
4. I would not talk about indigenous problem.
They are almost decimated and are sent to the Northern territories which is a historical injustice of the British. My best advice from them is to declare the country a Republic (would not happen) and dissociate with War Mongering Boris the the Eaten Colleague terror guy and the Labour idiots who have lost the meaning of Human Labour.
Australia is not a country but a continent and it needs Human Labour both intellectual and physical.
Cheap Labour is detrimental to any country.
Ceylonese have historically provided both cricketing and Intellectual brains but current guys who want to come to Australia from Ceylon are dud ones, all due to Mother Language mentality for over 70 years. I do not think any Chinese would play for Australian Cricket or Rugby Football. I have already decided not to venture into any Chinese food stall my entire stay in Australia.
I want Australians to beat England on next Test Series
I would expand on that when I brief about Ceylon next.
Ceylon
This applies to both Tamils and Sinhalese.
Best example is NPP / JVP in Power.
They were vociferous in their approach to come to power and they are impotent when in power.
Does not know even how to make a gazette mortification let alone a proper affidavit.
Making noise on the street is easy but making things to work is difficult
I had nice philosophical saying and on a plate in my desk. The third I have forgotten
1. Coming together is the beginning
2. Working together is next.
3. Keeping together is Progress
Ceylonese lack all three of these components currently.
It is sad one cannot stop the Brain Drain.
That is why I am in Australia.
Russia
I have decided not to learn Russian and make a visit to this grand country called Russia.
The human toll in both Russia and Ukraine is more than the Second World War and Stupid Bandera Group was caught in the American hegemony.
America
It looks like in America there a two Bulls in a China shop.
Bullying does not work in the current century but diplomacy may.
Japan
Let me come to the Japanese.
this is written in Memory of Dr. Yugiro Handa now a professor working for Children in Africa.
Reproduction
Faculty of Dental Sciences is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
I have to remember at least 3 Japanese.
I was involved with them from laying the foundation stone.
Dr. Yugiro Handa
He is now bit flabby and I cannot remember him wearing specks but he does it now. He is now a professor and I can remember him saying he would be going to Africa. I
told him he is better as a ambassador but he choose to improve health
and more importantly Treatment of Tuberculosis in Ethiopia.
Dr. Hagiwara
This lady was the one who managed the documentation and probably statistics. She was bit stingy and did not give me a copy of SPSS for my research work. This lady may be now in Ghana and trying to improve Child Health in African continent. Through Professor Asoka Ekanayake I got her to install a copy of it in the Computer Unit of the Faculty of Dental Sciences.
I managed to find a pirated copy used by the Engineering Faculty Students. My Microsoft Windows was not pirated and I had 42 odd 720MB floppies.
No wonder I turned to Linux.
It was one of my students Sanjeewa Kandegedara who game me my first working Linux copy. He is now a good Maxillo Facial Surgeon. I was involved in recruiting 45 young Dental Surgeons to be sent for Training in Japan. Only two of them came back and only one paid back the security and resigned properly from the university. Of course, none of them can join the university again and they are blacklisted for life. I think I was the only one who did not ask for foreign sojourns and I did my research work in Ceylon.
By
the way, one of my parallel advanced level (bright guy) students from a
different school did NOT get through medicine but got a scholarship in
Japan. He tried a scholarship in UK but failed. He came back to settle his dues in the university and got married to a Japanese Lady. I told him, Japanese are very bad in English and start an English school in Japan, jokingly.
He took me seriously and opened an English Academy in Japan.
I have not seen him since.
Professor Ama Mia
He was a retired Professor of Oral Pathology and I gave my room for him to share. His
English was poor but sure enough he managed to learn English in six
months and he made a presentation on special staining techniques. He dissected a hamster and manually showed the technology to our technicians. I preserved the skin coat of the hamster and kept it as a souvenir until my retirement.
I made his presentation into a booklet for our technicians to use.
My
interest was Microscopes with a video display for students. My video
microscope never aligned and what I focus student could not see (no
synchronization). 99% of students who had never used a microscope in school were not interested in histopathology.
All of these Microscopes, I believed discarded from schools but working OK after thorough check up and alignment.
I of course put my own money and bought a Digital Microscope used by students in America. I still have it but did not bring it to Australia.
Just forget about Electron Microscopy in Ceylon. We bought a Election Microscope in 1968 to our Anatomy Block. I had a little preview through it's lenses before it was installed. It needed Huge Voltage Capacity which we could not maintain and it broke down within a year. It was very stupid idea to buy electron microscope when microscopes we had we monocular and of very poor quality.
I had to buy my own Digital Microscope, many years later for my Research Work (I was 55 years old) which middle school students use in America. Besides, I did not give my top quality material to the University and kept it for my book on Placenta under my name.
I think I made very stupid idea of sitting in the Selection Board and selecting 25 Dental Students graduated from the New Dental School, had I an pinch of an idea that none of them would come back home to serve the Mother Nation. What Japanese did was to keep out talent there.
That is why I promote that research should be done in Ceylon and they should be relevant to us not to a foreign country.
However, I did my part to the country and I spent my own money for my research work (I won't call it belongs to the University).
I was good at picking talent.
However, I recruited a few technical guys who are now coming to their retirement age and are heading their respective departments. One guy who was not in technical grade but very talented to run the Putty Network which was independent and was not connected to the University System.
Total Quality Management in Education (at least in universities)
R.W
our current president (shoddy deals) is the one who destroyed our
University Education for him to initiate Fee Paying Private
Universities.
We developed a streamlined University Education protocol for all the universities. R.W. came in and sacked the U.G.C chairman and destroyed the whole project and appointed a political goon. Please do not believe him in his educational reforms. He is a CIA agent.His intention is to destroy our universities and install private institutions.He is hell bent on this!
He destroyed the Quality Control of Education in Progress in the University System. He thinks of Education like selling Wattakkas (pumpkin) and Bandakkas (ladies fingers). When you look at him he is actually Big Pumpkin (I am referring to his brain not the belly).

Now to My Dream
This is a another seed for another book and I won't expand it fully.
It was very brief one.
I was put with a Japanese guy in a closed cubicle.
The purpose of which was ill defined.
We could not communicate quite similar to me sitting with Professor Ama Mia. He only could speak Japanese, whereas Dr. Handa was fluent in English. Within a month we figured out what we did want and within six months we accomplished all what we need including networking the Faculty. They money for networking came from the Rotary Club of Kandy.
We had private meeting every week. The bottom line was we the plan and did not waste time in talking and running round.
It was all mental .
In this dream, it was mental communication and not verbal.
So we set into philosophical mood.
Then suddenly a guy came with sand and cement and dumped in our room meant for a philosophical retreat.
After a moment guy took them and dumped them in our bathroom
I was rudely woken with pump tight and the bathroom, rather toilet occupied with cement and sand.
I must make some reference to Professor A.D.P. Kanasuriya who is no more who introduced me to philosophy.
Philosophy is first order discipline and all the otters including science are second order disciplines.
