In a bipolarizing society, each individual needs preparedness. In a bipolarizing world, each nation, as far as they would not get resolved, needs preparedness, too. The problem is how to prepare the preparedness?
We are supposed to participate in gobal and domestic competitions preparedly. The problem is that we are not always facing the same competition. There could be a regime shift of competitions at any time. We should be prepared for the regime shift, too. As we are to live in the ever shifting regimes, as Kant put it: "There does not then exist any rational psychology as a doctrine furnishing any addition to our knowledge of ourselves. It is nothing more than a discipline, which sets impassable limits to speculative reason in this region of thought, to prevent it, on the one hand, from throwing itself into the arms of a soulless materialism, and, on the ohter, from losing itself in the mazes of a baseless spiritualism." (p.224, Immanuel Kant, "Critique of Pure Reason", 2003, Dover Publications, New York) We should be careful enough "to prevent" ourselves, "on the one hand, from throwing" ourselves "into the arms of a soulless materialism, and, on the ohter, from losing" ourselves "in the mazes of a baseless spiritualism."
