Right off the bat, the Chinese character for 'Crisis' IS NOT a combination of the symbols for 'danger' and 'opportunity.'

"The jī of wēijī, in fact, means something like "incipient moment; crucial point (when something begins or changes)." Thus, a wēijī is indeed a genuine crisis, a dangerous moment, a time when things start to go awry. A wēijīindicates a perilous situation when one should be especially wary."

-- "There is no personal escape from the apparatus which has mechanized and standardized the world. It is a rational apparatus, combining utmost expediency with utmost convenience, saving time and energy, removing waste, adapting all means to the end, anticipating consequences, sustaining calculability and security." - Herbert Marcuse
