I don't think the problem is a lack of politeness or humility I think they have the same problem we have. The masculine values of doing something new and making a mark were replaced with the feminine values of networking and keeping everyone on-side. We are reaching the destructive zenith where the imbalance makes sustaining or bettering our lifestyle difficult If your father was a postman you would feel pretty humble. See the video interview. It's kind of like one of those life stories you could make into a film.
Frank Whittle's father was a simple machinist in a machine workshop - like good with his hands. He was humble. Watched some of it - he is not a complete imbecile, but he still has a few tangles to iron out. He is employing quite a lot of demand side nonsense. Our system should not be 'giving' money to the rich - Why? How? - Take a closer look at that problem rather than devising another thievery carnival to balance it out. |

It was the first bit that was worth watching, as he explains what happened, rather than his ill-informed interpretation, after all he has now joined the ranks of the Left. What seems to be going on is an anti-meritocracy, dressed up to look as if it is meritocratic. I saw the type when I went to Manchester, as that had these rich kids there who seemed to assume they would get top jobs without ever having to do any work. You'd normally see them in the bar, it was the Chinese who were always in the library. These rich kids were not free market capitalists. You could count the capitalists on one hand in that institution. It's like these people get waved through from the previous generation, and as such they tend to be very stupid. If you think you are brilliant already, as in a fate of birth, then you would not feel the need to improve your game. The Chinese would have been the most interesting to talk to but they huddled together in their own group. You see where the Brits got this education for free, their story was more like their mother and father had maybe saved every penny for 20 years to send their son to university. In their currency it would be like paying a million pounds because China was very poor early 80s. It is staggering to see what sacrifices Chinese make to benefit their children.

I'll reply to that video with a video curated from my viewing history which I think you would find interesting. It's a story about a man who did a business course at the LSE. Recall me saying the LSE is known as a world leader in Marxist economics. V. interesting video … a must see … to the end …stick with it … it isn’t preachy at all … just a super rich guy with a conscience really concerned about the plight of the poor … and incredibly hard workers grafting … and not getting anywhere. It proves not everyone who went to the LSE turned into an evil destructive monster like Soros! I don't think the problem is a lack of politeness or humility I think they have the same problem we have. The masculine values of doing something new and making a mark were replaced with the feminine values of networking and keeping everyone on-side. We are reaching the destructive zenith where the imbalance makes sustaining or bettering our lifestyle difficult … As debt increases with hyper inflation … impossible for 95% … swimming in a quagmire trying desperately to breath and survive. We all need to be realistic about what’s coming. If your father was a postman you would feel pretty humble. See the video interview. It's kind of like one of those life stories you could make into a film.

Yes. We all see different slices of this problem because we each have slightly differing experiences and expertise. The pattern is the same everywhere - the status signals used by society to order itself are seriously mangled. From bimbo, reality disconnected 'celebrities' with dubious talent holding influence on things they clearly know nothing at all about; our pop music/ art culture being dominated by the entirely talentless; our corporations and institutions being run by people whose proper position is closer to a care home; our political class being dominated by people without vision, imagination or wit; our journalist/press (chattering) class being dominated by non-sentient, nodding donkeys, who couldn't entertain a novel notion of their own if they tried. One the subject of meritocracy - this is a slippery word. For obvious reasons, it is very unlikely that a top down enforced (politically conscious) meritocracy will remain uncorrupted for long. It might work for 10 years (if you are very lucky) before it is simply hijacked and then used to do the opposite to that which it was designed to do. So, where does a meritocratic system come from? Here is my notion - it comes from the grassroots. The atomic notions of justice - you should not steal, you should not cheat, you should do something useful with yourself, you have to be able to fend for yourself and be loyal to those around you and someone who can't do that is not worthy of influence - ie all those thorny, old fashioned notions that were thrown out with the bathwater by the Blair transformation. A meritocracy has to be a political accident. It can't be consciously constructed by a political program, because, in a sense, it is the enemy of anyone with political power. |

Also, the wealthy are holding a hostage. If the wealthy are taxed generally, those who became wealthy through hard work and making a contribution also have their assets removed and turned over to the corrupt. If you turn all this money over to a government, do you imagine for a moment that the people in control of this situation will not be wealthy themselves? Unfortunately, once you have slipped down the corruption slope significantly, it becomes very difficult to get out. |

Mags … are you trying to rationalise the super wealthy don’t pay tax like the rest of us? … As Gary Stevenson says … Globalists float unhindered around the World as Internationalists and hide their wealth offshore or by accumulating assets …. with clever accounting, most avoid paying any tax anywhere!
(The people you refer to are paying their fair share of tax ….and no one is having a go at them. And many of them are gifting to good causes to help the most needy in Society … which is funnelling money direct … thus avoiding corrupt Government officials and admin … that also embezzle - a good valid point you make btw.)
It’s the tax dodgers we need to knobble …. no wonder nearly every World country has a broken/crippled National Bank with few gold bars in it. … Even ex-Empires should still have some researves.
The World cannot sustain more damage from this small minority group … mostly thieves and crooks …. who need to be rounded up, arrested, imprisoned until they pay a ‘release fee’ …. in relation to the amount they have stolen.
Let the punishment fit the crime … and let the UN Co-ordinate International arrest warrants ordering ALL Countries to co-operate together to redistribute this wealth fairly according to from where it was embezzled.
We need a new independent accountable MSM with the capacity to push through this agenda. … because at the moment the Media is part of this wealth inequality problem … propping up these criminals and whitewashing their criminality.

Unfortunately, once you have slipped down the corruption slope significantly, it becomes very difficult to get out. The thing about China is that if you look at the past where they had a system of emperors and long dynasties, the one thing that marks it out is the formalism of the system they ran. There was a set syllabus to learn, so they have kind of had a structured education system for thousands of years as knowledge is highly valued in their culture. They sat exams and if they passed they would become one of the educated class with greater privileges.
Their culture has stood the test of time, and most unlike our own. The norms in China are different. Of course this stable society ended with the Qing Dynasty, but there was an issue there as they were not Han Chinese, but I think from Mongolia originally. They ended up running it with a bit of an iron fist, imposed all sorts of petty rules and eventually caused the population to rebel, but aside from this it really did last a long time. They were the ones who invented paper, so you can see how that really helped with their meritocracy.
I think the real spark happened when the Confucian kind of thinking started to interact with Western thinking and resulted in many advancements. Hong Kong was the place this happened. I believe this is why it is now the place with more millionaires than nearly anywhere else in the world. You make connections between the two worlds and that makes you money and everyone wins. If only this brain-dead country could see this we would be onto a big winner as the spark that made it happen. We had a good reputation with them.Sure there were sore points as well, but we could have made amends and they would have welcomed us. China is now practising pure capitalism so it has a new lease of life. This is why capitalism is more alive now than it has ever been since the end of the 19th century.

China is now practising pure capitalism so it has a new lease of life. This is why capitalism is more alive now than it has ever been since the end of the 19th century. As you say, it’s all down to focussing on education, and here in the West, the toxicity of WOKE coming from a Biden-hostile America out to destroy meritocracy is seriously damaging the focus of some young people to push this Country forward and innovate. Eg…The new female harpy WOKE Dean of Oxford switching traditional celebration of a St.George dinner to celebrating Ramadan … ?? … A small inconsequential thing…. but can you imagine the equivalent of that happening in any other country in the World? …. especially China …. There would be an uproar … possibly a lynching. It shows the degree of toxicity and stupidity, and the wholesale dumping of traditions that mould and unify a Country - creeping into the top echelons of UK Academia who seem to not have more important things to do than trash and burn. The U.S. special relationship was never ‘special’ for the UK … an MSM illusion … and distracted some of us focussing on new opportunities and possibilities tapping into the dynamism and energy of the Far East and the Hong Kong hub. Thatcherism accelerated and facilitated the U.S. and every other nation to come in and asset-strip UK business left open and vulnerable to the rapacious feeding frenzy of Globalist Capitalism … at it’s worst! … At least the Chinese were wise to keep many foreigners out and keep them well below a glass ceiling that stopped them coming in and having the opportunity to take control … and take the Country down from the Inside …. which was Britain’s biggest catalogue of mistakes post-WW2. - being duped to join an EU shamocracy. - letting certain religious factions control our Media - letting certain foreign religious factions flood into our Country uncontrolled, unmonitored and without an easy fast track cheap deportation programme for undesirables - appalling border security - poor industry management and modernisation programme - poor governance and representation. China’s suppression of Hong Kong’s freedoms during recent unrest … sent alarm bells ringing amongst ex-pats from the region …suppression and alarming lockdown and forced vaccination programmes causing Chinese citizens to flee over borders, plus other crackdowns in Tibet and against some religious factions causing trouble … muslims in particular … that we understand … Islamaphobia is justified … Tibet suppression no. … that has just created Chinaphobia, no?? Many in Western business have been stung and destroyed by cheap Chinese imports, products and copies that flouted International copy-write and patent laws that the Chinese authorities should have enforced - shut down these crooked businesses which ripped off customers with shoddy imitations. - counterfeiting that broke in minutes out the box. Where was Chinese Government regulation?? …. They didn’t care about the “Customer” … they were “stupid foreigners” who “should have known better!” In their march towards rampant Capitalism … this attitude lost the Chinese respect and partners … Taiwan invasion threats and trading protectionism/business conflicts created Trump hostility … which made China back Biden … what a HUGE mistake that was ! … Huge, huge mistake. … As Trump had developed a rapport with Putin. … and was ramping down the Pentagon expansionist Hawks … defusing their longterm Cold War 2 Plans. Temperamentally, and from experience, I prefer and trust doing business with new Chinese people focussing on quality product production … much more than with Americans, African tribes and the Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern crowd … there are crooked Chinese and duff copy products still hitting UK markets and damaging Chinese reputations … Any sign this issue will be tackled by the Chinese Government any time soon?? Future trade and relations with Britain might depend on it being tackled effectively. Being in Capitalist World Markets means you have to adhere to certain Rules … written(copy-write/patent respect etc) … and unwritten.
Rule No.1 … Don’t EVER shit on your customers. |

Many of these people are more or less arms of government or, to put it more accurately, our government is an arm of them. How would the government taxing them make any odds? They also have a hostage in that the genuine wealth creator would have their wealth removed and (effectively) given to them. I would not be against removing the taxation from working people. The way to tackle this is to foster a culture of honest competition that doesn't believe in the kind of barriers to trade and special privileges these people rely on for their wealth. The key to sustaining or creating that culture is the education system. However, our education system has been hijacked by forces / people who believe in a globalist Marxist aristocracy - ie the very same people who have substantially hijacked the unelected parts of our government. They now seem to have to power to more or less arbitrarily remove leaders who try to attack their interests. |

Will China become No 1 superpower? Perhaps but will it even last that long,I doubt it.
The US is in a downward spiral and many peoples hate the US because of their success and that goes with the territory and they will continue to be hated by some as The Brits are for their long gone empire and are still hated by many for that even now,by some in the US too ( see types like Biden).
Fools who think a fellow fool saying let’s make America great again will make it happen deserve all they get.
Being top dog has its drawbacks which China will learn along the way if they make it,and they’ll need to..

There doesn't seem to be any way to talk to you about anything but China. I do some threads on science and engineering because that is an interest of mine as well. It's just this country - every time I hear from a rep it talks out of its arse. Today I woke up and still half asleep I switched on the radio and there was a pseudo-middle class woman in buoyant mood saying we have now pretty much achieved our goals etc etc. First of all I had no idea which goals but I thought, well this sounds positive for a change, I'll keep on listening. A few seconds later the subject of this buoyant positivity was revealed as the fight for women's rights in the UK. You see my problem? Every time I hear from a rep they are like talking like they have come out of a lunatic asylum. It's a bloody cult and our reps are cultists.
So what else is there. I catch Sky News Australia where they are having a discussion on how they can build up their military to take on China in a war over Taiwan, the next war Uncle Sam has pencilled into his diary.
I go to GB News and there is endless talk about woke.
It's only when I get out of the Anglosphere do I actually learn something. Chap called Dmitri explains you can do the double slit experiment in the time dimension as well as the spacial dimension, from a paper published in April 23. Now I didn't know that, but I just learnt it.
You catch my drift? Our country is up its arse and not worth listening to for advice. The world moves on into the future.
I then flick back to the comments of Time Radio listeners. They are all ill-educated on world affairs and I spend my time trying to teach them the basic facts. It's my bit of charity to the country that raised me. Poor sods.

I've never claimed to be an expert. I think the notion that I am is from your mind, but all the same I take the compliment if that is how you see me. To me it is more a recent interest. We can talk about the Italian renaissance if you like. I used to have a similar interest in that time and place or perhaps the Arts and Crafts movement of 19th century Britain, another interest I used to have. |

I don’t think that you have a clue about China tbh. |
