Dear Aubrey:

(1) Many, many thanks for your prompt response (ATTAVCHMENT I below) to my last list distribution (Reference (a) above).

It is a quite honor to receive a response from such a distinguished person like you.

Because of my age (about a half year elder than you), I am sorry to say that I donÕt recall my mtg with you in Tokyo.

(2) Once I made a question to Rector Nambara,

ÒIn the US, your field is called as the ÒPolitical Science.Ó  But, I donÕt see any scientific methodologies being taught.  Why?Ó


Although he was the most prominent scholar in the field of political philosophy in Japan, I could ask him such an impolite question since he was like my uncle because of my motherÕs good friendship with him (Reference (a) above).  He then let me ask the same to his subordinate professor who later told me that the political science is to teach General Administration.  I then thought that if so, why they donÕt teach Operations Research, Systems Dynamics, etc.

I then later found that the Greek origin of the word ÒScienceÓ means ÒTo learnÓ or ÒTo Know.Ó

Thanks to your comment, I enjoyed reading on the word ÒScienceÓ in Wikipedia.

BTW, introduction of scientific rational approach into political science has been my life-long quest (Reference (b) above), i.e., a paradigm shift in international political science — e.g., the creation of the ÒLaw of the SeaÓ at the United Nations with over 150 signatory countries (except the US) (Reference (c) above).

(3) I still recall the words of Late Rector James Conant of Harvard University (Reference (a) above);


ÒTruth is like sun.  When you look it at, it is glittering and cannot see its clear edge.  When you come near to it, it would become clearer.Ó  This may be just like from Greek science to Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Bohr and so on.


Dear Justin:

(4) Many, many thanks for your prompt response (ATTAVCHMENT II below) to my last list distribution (Reference (a) above).

I am very happy to know that the lady Janice Lathen is now accessing JICA resources in Tanzania.

Dear Justin and Edwin:

(5) As mentioned elsewhere before, the broadband Internet is the very basic social infrastructure.  Hence, we will conduct long-range national forecasting with socio-economic-energy-environmental simulation models for our GKCN/GEWS project (Reference (b) above), which wil, obviously include a public healthcare sector which will then include malaria eradication and mother/child mortality issues in various African countries.

We may ask Dr. Geof RaynerÕs guidance on its modeling — see the Section ÒEcological public health and embracing complexityÓ of Reference (d) above.

Best, Tak

Dear Tak,  Very good to hear from you - brings back such good memories of that meeting in Tokyo - that was when I first met Lynn Margulis - alas she has since died - too young.  I will check out the references you sent.  I'm still trying to get across the idea of science as part of culture - I know you agree!   With all best wishes,   Aubrey.

Thank you Tak for this e-mail. I will look at  the speech on tthe basis of systems dynamics with regard to promotiNg  education and health using computer based training as proposed by Prof Asemota, One lady Janice Lathen is using it in Tanzania and is likely to access JICA resources in that regard, Cheers Justin
