| 32 <p>Mennonites range from very conservative to very liberal. A good book describing this is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Old-Order-Conservative-Mennonite/dp/1561481017/">An Introduction to Old Order and Conservative Mennonite Groups</a>. The liberal groups are too accepting of modern culture. They have lost the discernment to distinguish between good and bad/evil, so they cannot become good programmers. The more conservative groups are more resistant to modern culture. But one way these groups protect themselves from modern culture is by limiting technology. Clearly a group that limits technology too much, for example by banning the internet, cannot become programmers. So the challenge is to find a group with the best balance - conservative enough to reject modern culture, but tolerant of technology so that they can become programmers.</p> | 32 <p>Mennonites range from very conservative to very liberal.

When I visited them, I didn't have a clear plan of what to do. A number of them are carpenters and they expressed an interest in better carpentry software. My recent programming has been web development, so my programming tools are designed for this. But for carpentry software, I need to support a desktop user interface and 3D rendering. So far I have done the following: I have implemented desktop user interface tools in <a href="<%=luan_url()%>/">Luan</a>. I have finished those portions of my <a href="learn.html">programming course</a> that a Mennonite would need to work on carpentry software. And I have implemented language translation to Spanish of this site and the Luan site. Now I have to go back to this church and see if any Mennonite there is interested in programming carpentry software.</p> |

This should be a Mennonite who values simplicity and recognizes that modern culture does not value simplicity.</p> |

| 38 <p>What remains is specific to carpentry software. This is an area that I know nothing about, but I watched some videos on the subject and making good carpentry software looks like a non-trivial project. So I am reluctant to start on this project by myself. My plan is to look for a Mennonite who is interested in working with me on this project. If I find one, then I would add 3D rendering to Luan while he learns basic programming. Then we could work together on implementing the carpentry software.</p> | |

| 42 <p>The Japanese have managed to preserve their culture and not be absorbed into modern culture. Japan is the only nation that I know of that has managed to do this. The Japanese are high-tech, so there is no issue of limited technology. For me, the biggest issue is the language barrier since I know very little Japanese.</p> | 40 <p>The Japanese have managed to preserve their culture and not be absorbed into modern culture.
