South Korea: Will the “Nobel Prize’s long-cherished wish” come true? :
Korea:
South Korea has far from the Nobel Prize so far.
Only former President Kim Dae-Jung, who won the Peace Prize in 2000 for improving relations with North Korea.
As the Nobel Prize is announced, expectations are high for the Nobel Prize in Science every year.
Seeing Japan as a rival:
South Korea has grown with the goal of Japan.
Compare with Japan in various ways.
Number of Nobel laureates:
Regarding the number of Nobel laureates, Japan has 28 and South Korea has one.
Japan, which is seen as a rival, has opened up a lot of water.
Reasons for not being awarded:
In South Korea, various analyzes have been conducted on the reasons why the Nobel Prize cannot be won.
The cause is pointed out
(1) Low interest in basic science,
(2) Insufficient public / private support and inadequate research environment,
(3) Result first principle, these three points.
Not a wrong analysis.
Most important cause:
The most important cause is missing.
Rather than the reason, logic, and rationality of science
Prioritize unscientific emotions,
The atmosphere is unique to Korean society.
WoW! Korea

Nobel Prize: The quest for basic science is the world of logic
Nobel Prize Season:
October is also the season for the Nobel Prize.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded by Japanese Mr. Yoshiro Manabe.
“The Korean media also reported that the Japanese were awarded.”
The spirituality of Korean society:
What is the reason for such a difference between Japan and Korea?
I think the cause is the national character of “80% emotions and 20% reason”.
Even if there are some inconveniences for Koreans
That fact can never be accepted as a fact.
The spirituality of Korean society is also reflected in the research side.
Science quest is the world of logic:
More specifically, Confucianism rejected logic.
The quest for science is the world of logic.
The repetition of induction and deduction is the research process itself.
Low interest in basic science:
Low interest in basic science is probably the biggest factor.
This is exactly the same as Chinese society.
Not good at logical thinking:
This is the result of Confucianism “denying Mozi’s logic and refusing to remain as a school.”
In addition, “the exclusion of craftsmen from the qualifications for the examination of the Imperial Examination” also has an effect.
Reason, logic, and rationality of basic science:
“Social atmosphere that prioritizes non-scientific emotions over scientific reason, logic, and rationality”
It is the origin of Korea’s illness.
“Reason, logic, rationality” is the logic.
