diversity

jie jie taught me an interesting theory about diversity today. apparently, this was what her professor taught her in class and it was meant to be a half-hearted joke. nonetheless, other than her, nobody else in the class seems to be laughing.

as for me, i have no comments as i am confused by the theory.

hence, i shall allow you to be the judge instead..

the diversity theory, which applies to the case for globalization:

if you like diversity, you should not consume diversity. this is because in doing so, you are actually eliminating diversity since consumption encourages trade and trading eliminates diversity. hence, everyone should just stay at home and not consume diversity. this implies that we should all not travel to different parts of the world and stay at home to watch national geographic instead.

in layman's term, if you truly love diversity and wish to protect it, you will not consume diversity. so stop complaining about globalisation and how everything is the same in every town and city because you are indirectly the cause of it.

do you get it???

if you don't, it's alright. neither do i.

perhaps these pictures are easier for understanding...
