the memory of china spans 3k years. think about that. we dwell hard and long about the history of america and that only goes back a few hundred. and that was a time full of witch hunts, slavery and other controversial topics that'd make a great movie but come off as embarrassing in reality.

we came up with the television and the atom bomb--i say big deal. the chinese were there through thousands of years of advancements and follies, enduring and enduring and keeping their national strength through the unbearable weight of millennia. this is when americans can't go without their smartphone for 60 seconds and believe in nothing other than legal tender.

industrial capitalism is 200 years old, the chinese are as old as mars in comparison. put that in your pipe and smoke it.
