Amygdala Hijack politics
One of the most perplexing questions in American politics is why do white, blue-collar men - who have lost the most socioeconomic ground in the last few decades - continually and consistently vote for the Republicans when the latter party espouses economic policies that disadvantage labor in favor of business?

Can AlphaGo cry?
Growing up in an era where “go” was the epitome of an outdated game from a bygone era played by old men with long pipes emitting thin trails of smoke, I never imagined the day when this ancient game would become chic again and engage in a “mano a mano” with one of the most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) engines in the world.

Where the world talks security
That’s the tagline for the RSA Conference, the biggest cybersecurity event in the world, held annually in San Francisco. According to the press release, “RSA Conference is the premier series of global events where the world talks security and leadership gathers, advances and emerges.”

Confessions of Korean-American parent
So, my little boy just turned four and will be entering kindergarten next fall. Needless to say, I want my son to go to a good school. Luckily, Fairfax County in Northern Virginia is well-known for its good public schools. In fact, Fairfax is one of the preeminent destinations of the so-called “goose families.” Unfortunately, the district where I live has the worst schools in the whole county. Its elementary school rating is 2 out of 10. This obviously won't do, leading us to the penultimate question that every parent faces: Should we move to a better school district or send him to a private...

Who will be Korea's Bernie?
When Bernie Sanders tied with Hillary Clinton in the Iowa Caucus, I swear that I saw more triumphant Bernie mentions among my Korean social media friends than from my American ones. Apparently, Koreans are also “Feeling the Bern” as they witness his implausible candidacy against the Hillary machine.

Dear JYP
Remember me? I was the guy at Harvard Kennedy School who invited you to headline the Hallyu Forum almost nine years ago in February 2007. You were smart, funny, and articulate at the lecture, greeting the overflowing students with a loud, “What's up? Wait, can I say 'what's up?' at Harvard?”

You can't patent culture
Something’s rotten at Oberlin College. According to the Oberlin Review, the local food service vendor “has a history of blurring the lines between culinary diversity and cultural appropriation by modifying the recipes without respect to certain Asian countries' cuisines. This uninformed representation of cultural dishes has been noted by a multitude of students, many who have expressed concerns over the gross manipulation of traditional recipes.”

Korea's 'uncomfortable' truth
The unassailable narrative about comfort women in Korea was that they were innocent, young Korean girls who were tricked or forcibly taken from their homes by the Japanese military to work as sex slaves in far-flung corners of their World War II Empire. They were enslaved, raped, and abandoned when Japan lost the war.

Korea's fundamentalist immaturity
Imagine that you are a caveman looking out over the horizon and see an unfamiliar figure approaching. You immediately view the figure as a threat, preparing for the prototypical fight or flight response. Adrenalin and Cortisone prime you for immediate action. Your brain's executive functions (pre-frontal cortex) are shut down because there no time to “think” through this situation. Your instincts have to take over. This is life or death. This is us vs. them.

Who's criticizing Japan collaborators?
My father, who grew up in Pyongyang during and after Japanese rule, remembers how people would suddenly show up and sweep the lane from the main road to his childhood home clean a day before the younger brother of his grandmother would come to visit. And when he would come, he was accompanied by all the pomp and circumstance, including a police escort, as befit a member of the local government council whose select members were appointed by the Japanese governor.
