Philosophy Wire: The re-opening of the reactor, the closing of the brain...


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-04-14]: TEPCO company (the one which manages the reactors who are now responsible for the nuclear disaster in Japan) wants to start again a nuclear reactor that was closed in 1997 after an earthquake caused a fire [source: Businessweek]. That is the problem with humans who are short-sighted. Always try to cover a mistake by making the same and larger one... Why do we admire Japanese people? Is it because they built nuclear plants on top of the most seismic area of the planet? In the old days, a samurai would have taken his life. But in the world of money they is no room for remorse...
