High-power distance communication works only
when the listener is capable of paying close attention, and
it works only if the two parties in a conversation have the
luxury of time, in order to unwind each other's meanings.
It doesn't work in an airplane cockpit on a stormy night
with an exhausted pilot trying to land at an airport with a
broken glide scope.
Rice has been cultivated in China for thousands of
years. It was from China that the techniques of rice cultivation spread throughout East Asia—Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. Year in, year out, as far back as history
is recorded, farmers from across Asia have engaged in the
same relentless, intricate pattern of agriculture.
Rice paddies are "built," not "opened up" the way a
wheat field is. You don't just clear the trees, underbrush,
and stones and then plow.
