Plurality, or collaborative diversity, stems from the radical kind of conflict that Taiwan brings, like earthquakes. There are three felt earthquakes somewhere in Taiwan every day. Because we anticipate that there are earthquakes out of this tectonic conflict between the Eurasian and the Pacific plates, we work on resilience, we work on the building codes, we work on the societal preparedness that turns this conflict into co-creation. It’s like harnessing the fire, the explosion. Before, when we saw fire on the ground, we put it out. Now we see fire on the ground and we drill it, knowing that there’s energy underneath. The idea is to turn that conflict into co-creative energy.
