Group of Thought: An article Great Mahmoud Abadi On the page Etemad newspaper thought The writing briefly seeks to express the central idea that “capability” (ability, technology, science, innovation) is the source and root of “sustainable wealth” and any other human good, not vice versa. Mohammed Abadi begins his article by quoting a defense of Socrates in which he says his duty is to educate the youth to deal with “capability” (or virtue) and educate the soul, because wealth does not, not vice versa. This means that instead of merely having money, one must learn the technique of producing wealth (fishing rather than fish), which is rooted in science, creativity and innovation.
The author then generalizes this principle of Socrates to modern colonialism policies. Mahmoud Abadi argues that today’s dominance governments have no problem with the wealth of other nations (such as oil sales), but they consider them the ability to find and empower them (such as Iran’s uranium enrichment or the creation of indigenous infrastructure by the Persian Gulf states). He emphasizes that the goal of the colonialist is to prevent the creation of lasting capabilities that lead to sustainable power and prosperity (unattractive power with sanctions). In contrast, countries that are based solely on the wealth of limited resources and without the creation of fundamental capabilities (such as some Gulf states that resemble “cinematic settlements”) will be vulnerable in the long run, just as the Ottoman Empire, despite the wealth, collapsed due to the lack of national innovation and capability. Finally, the resilience of societies and the tact of the rulers in fulfilling the capabilities will determine the future of countries.

“The service that comes from me is to pursue the elderly and the youth and prove to them that they have to pay their souls before they are in the minds of wealth, property and ambition, and to reveal that the ability [در چاپ دیگری از همین ترجمه، واژه «فضلیت» به جای «قابلیت» آمده است] “It does not deserve wealth, but wealth and all human blessings, both personal and social.” (Apology Treatise, Plato’s Works, Volume I, Translated by Mohammad Hassan Lotfi and Reza Kaviani, Kharazmi Publishing Company, p. 4) The above phrase is part of Socrates’ defense in the court to investigate the “youth corruption” and “disbelief in the gods of the city”. In his defense to eliminate the accusation of “corrupting the youth”, Socrates says his goal was to reveal that the principle is “capability”, not “wealth”. He sought to teach the youth of Athens to reinforce his abilities, one of which is of course wealth, not vice versa. In fact, Hakim Athens has sought to show the main source of wealth and any other human good to the Athenians, which was the source of goodness. So, after the above phrase, he adds immediately: “If these words are corrupted by the youth, they should be considered harmful. But if anyone claims to have heard from me except this, he is lying. ”
National prestige
Socrates’ speech is of course the two aspects; Both the personal and the individual aspect, as he later points to its collective and social dimensions, also focuses on the issue of “national prestige”. (Ibid., P.)
Socrates says he was trying to show young people to think about the ability to produce wealth instead of thinking about money. In fact, he said, instead of finding the fish, he should have to learn fishing. Sustainable wealth, which is durable and durable, derives from science, creativity, art, initiative and technology. But there is no guarantee of survival and durability. But these teachings of Socrates were not welcomed by the government of his government, and Athenia’s democracy did not tolerate his youth.
Our era and the era of Socrates
Our world today is not unlike the situation of Athens four centuries BC, except that today’s Socrates’ rulers, today’s colonial governments have a sense of claim to rule over the world and use all their abilities and abilities to eliminate the abilities and abilities of other nations! Especially those nations that are discourse against them.
One of the most important components of power and wealth, but also the most important is “science”. Knowledge is the “Jamie Cup” that, if a society has, can create the ability to produce wealth, power, security and prosperity, otherwise it has to seek these blessings from alien but to disgust. The fact is that colonialism has no problem with the richness of nations – as long as they do not threaten their wealth and exclusive capabilities – but with the ability to find nations, it has a serious problem. Indeed The colonial governments, who in the past did not share wealth and power for different nations, pretend in the new age that they can tolerate their wealth, but absolutely their ability and ability.! This is what is clear these days in the White House leaders’ statements. Repeat and repeat that they have no problem with the rich Iran or even the transfer of enriched uranium to our country, but enrichment – even with a small percentage – is their red line on Iranian soil. The difference between the purchase of enrichment uranium and the effort to enrich it in the country is the difference between wealth!
The purpose of prohibition of enrichment
Now the same dominant temperament, who once accused Socrates of “corrupting the youth” in Athens, today Iran accuses us of abnormal behavior and threats to global security. But the reality is that uranium enrichment is only a threat to excessive governments who want to keep this important, vital and unique ability to monopolize. They know that from the results of this capability to a country such as Iran – with its unique extent, powerful manpower, unique geographical position, natural resources and cultural influence in the region and global discourse power – can form many capabilities that guarantee wealth, security, prosperity and power; A power that cannot be restrained by threats and sanctions.
Therefore, Iran has been a serious threat to global powers, while Iran has endured the most difficult political, international, military, security, media, and so on. Because Iran, despite all the pressure and conspiracies and the loss of many wealthy opportunities, has still been able to maintain its main capabilities in various fields – and perhaps, most importantly and more sensitive, more sensitive nuclear energy. Therefore, they think that Iran’s access to this capability, along with its other capabilities, could face the western imperialist and colonial interests. For this reason, in various governments, with a variety of threats and threats, they have tried to prevent Iranians from achieving this “capability”, although they are always trying to show that wealth is open but wealth minus “capability”!
Sample
The experience of some countries in the region – especially on the outskirts of the Persian Gulf – can be a guardianship of dominant governments. As they are allowed to sell their oil and gas resources in the world markets, and Westerners are customers to buy them. These countries continue to have the right to use the financial resources from the sale of these reserves and can build their cities by building high towers and glamorous shopping and recreational malls, but they have not given them the slightest right to create indigenous, basic and structural “capabilities” so that they can produce their existing resources.
Luxury countries or cinema settlements?
That is why we see that some of these countries appear even more attractive and advanced than the most advanced Western countries. The reason for this is the difference between wealth and wealth. The advanced Western countries know well that all of their possessions should not be spent on today’s comfort, but a very important part of it is to be the most fundamental infrastructure that is dedicated to preserving and developing capabilities.
So if in some Persian Gulf states, we find towering towers and luxurious cities that may not be the same in the most advanced Western countries, because they actually enjoy decorations like cinematic settlements, with no fact behind them; As we see in the cinema settlements we see replicas of monuments and towers that are very attractive and even stunning, but behind them there is no reality and nothing but cardboard imitation of the cities of the past empires!
Therefore, the colonial governments in our time do not apparently confiscated the resources of the colonized countries, but they only allow them to spend their resources auctioned out of cities that are more like cinematic settlements. They can also spend it on the well -being of their community as long as they do not think of effective capabilities that can produce real and durable power for countries. Creating “capability” is of course high cost; Because it is fundamentally more difficult, more sensitive, and overwhelming, it is more difficult to sell the country’s limited resources and spend the money on short -term well -being – or at best in the medium -term. But its double difficulty goes back to the will of exaggerated governments who consider creating any capability in other countries to be a threat and are willing to prevent it from creating at any cost at any cost.
Sample
This is also confirmed by historical evidence. As the cause of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire was not poverty. The Ottoman Empire, despite huge wealth (through trade and taxation) and geographical extent, failed to maintain its national capability due to government corruption, lack of innovation and dependence on traditional structures.
The Ottoman military defeats against European powers and their inability to industrialize led to the gradual collapse of the empire. Therefore, the collapse of the Ottoman government neither happened to the devaluation of the national currency nor the Ottoman passport in other countries was not honored !!! What led to the collapse of the Great Ottoman Empire was the lack of creativity and the cohesion of sovereignty on the one hand and the adversity of European powers on the other.
This is the same version that colonial governments like for today’s countries. When the Ottoman Empire lost its large wealth against several European countries, the future of affiliated countries that are on the border of the Persian Gulf are in degenerate consumption of Western technology and goods. Of course, so far, they have resources that can serve the interests of powerful governments can probably continue their lives, but the day they can be a safe base for the great powers.
These countries are an example of wealthless wealth that has led to their economic stress and dependence on world powers. Interestingly, Donald Trump spoke with some of these countries in his previous presidency and pointed to their real place, but the slightest voice of protest – neither from their communities nor their police governments – came out! Ari Socrates said that wealth was not capable of being wealth, but it is the wealth that is born of capability. Therefore, the resilience of societies and their rulers in fulfilling the capability can determine the situation of countries in the future.
In his defense to eliminate the accusation of “corrupting the youth”, Socrates says his goal was to reveal that the principle is “capability”, not “wealth”. He sought to teach the youth of Athens to reinforce his abilities, one of which is of course wealth, not vice versa. In fact, Hakim Athens sought to show the main source of wealth and any other human being to the Athenians, which was the source of goodness. So, after the above phrase, he adds immediately: “If these words are corrupted by the youth, they should be considered harmful. But if anyone claims to have heard from me except this, he is lying. “
Socrates says he was trying to show young people to think about the ability to make wealth instead of thinking about money. In fact, he said, instead of finding the fish, he should have to learn fishing. Sustainable wealth, which is durable and durable, derives from science, creativity, art, initiative and technology. But there is no guarantee of survival and durability.
The fact is that colonialism has no problem with the richness of nations – as long as they do not threaten their wealth and exclusive capabilities – but with the ability to find nations, it has a serious problem. In fact, colonial governments, who in the past did not share wealth and power for different nations, pretend in the modern age that they can tolerate their wealth, but absolutely their ability!
