Esse quam videri.
Just took a political ideology questionnaire and got a bullseye on 100% centrist.
I expected a result something more like social liberalism or just plain liberalism, but to my astonishment I scored dead middle — 50/50— on every dimension. True middle ground on everything.
Neither extreme left nor right — pragmatic compromise seems to be the way😎.
Before Japan’s defeat in World War II, the country operated under what was arguably one of the most extreme and dehumanizing state-imposed ideological systems in modern history—a toxic blend of militarism, State Shinto, and imperial cult worship.
This "state cult" was staggering in its inhumanity and outright contempt for human dignity. In some primary schools, for example, children—both male and female—were forced to strip to the waist in freezing cold weather as a means of toughening their bodies and spirits for the sake of the Emperor and the nation. The Japanese are so cruel to even their children, it can be imagined how they will treat the people in the occupied territories.
This extreme ideology was not eradicated after the war; it merely went underground, donning a veneer of "civilization" and modernity. In reality, today, this same state-cult mentality continues to play a critical role in shaping Japan’s ideological landscape. You can see echoes of this "state cult" among Sanae Takaichi's supporters.
@ShangguanJiewen To be honest, Space X is about two years ahead of China. They are impressive indeed. Space X can launch a rocket every few days, the quality and quantity of their rockets is astonishing. But I believe that in the near future China will catch up on Space X.
The so-called “tibetan youth worldwide” from all over the world are standing in front of the same building😂. They just found some brainwashed Tibetan teens who speak English well and put them in front of camera 😂.
Before he was shattering Premier League records, Erling Haaland was just a regular kid eating at his local Chinese restaurant in Norway.
Hui Zhu Wang, the owner of Wen Hua House in Bryne, remembers a completely different side of the world’s most feared striker and it proves exactly what kind of person he really is.
"He has been coming here with his family since he was a child," she says.
Even today, when Haaland returns to his hometown, he skips the five-star luxury and heads straight back to Wen Hua House.
His go-to order?
Sweet and sour chicken
The duck
Despite his massive global fame, Wang notes that he remains incredibly polite and humble. When fans inevitably spot him eating, he never turns them away, always making time to sign autographs and take pictures.
He even quietly gifted the restaurant two signed shirts, one of which now hangs proudly framed on their wall.
My thoughts on Elon’s predictions:
1. University degrees will be worthless within 1~3 years.
2. Agree with Elon, but the full replacement of legal work might take some time for AI companies to reduce their models’ hallucinations.
3. Agree.
4. That would take time.
Elon Musk’s latest predictions:
1: University degrees worthless within 36 months
2: AI takes over financial and legal work
3: Robots outperform the best surgeons by 2030
4: Saving for retirement “won’t matter”
Thoughts?
