07/04/22: Quality of Man

I was thinking the other day, does in general success is determined by the quality of man?

This quote from movie First Option, pop in mind:

It's all about the quality of the man, not the equipment

However, Chinese used to say you need to use proper tool, if you want to do a good job (工欲善其事,必先利其器)

From own experience, I feel that the equipment play a big part. I observed my snowboarding as an example that I ride better with Burton SW, than GNU CHB. As the GNU getting old and flat (vs snappy), my turns become less lively. And I saw so many cases of bad equipment hampering student progress. Another example is my badminton racket, with the Ti-7 I can hit it to the back of the court (when I swing properly)

I guess there is certain truth in it.

The killer of VT sent in some video and stuff to NBC, and people are thinking should it be open up for all to see.

I don't know this is really the best way to handle... I am not disagree with what Dave said, but I am concerned we are doing exactly what the killer want us to do; view and publicize it (even worst, put it on YouTube).

It's the knowing that the act will indirectly "glorify" in some way that we should not encourage. We are granting to this guy a honor (in a bad way) when we open these contents up for all to see. What you would think when you know these video will be viewed on the net and TV after you die? (getting excited? I am wondering maybe that how they feel?)

I hope NBC just turns it over to Authority, have it lock up for years before re-open it in public domain. Of course, meanwhile it can be accessed by those have a good reason to (i.e. academic), but not to those "just to see what the hype about" type.

How do we balance between public interest (to know the truth), and encouraging such evil act?
