With the uncertain fate of TikTok... still spinning in the cradle of the unrealized dreams of worlds yet to conquer; meaning... probably... whatever Black Rock... State Street and Vanguard don't presently control. It turns out that China has a backup plan called The Little Red Book; Red Note before it gets translated. I do not think it is the same little Red Book as this one. No doubt, it is related to Mao's Little Red Book, which is a collection of his quotations.
I used to see Mao's little red book and those awful posters... celebrating the various blood-soaked revolutions he sponsored... for the good of the people; whatever people were left after that revolution ran its course... in the dorm rooms of rich kids at private universities. It always fascinated me how the children of the rich would be such fans of a man who would have had them right in the front row of the people he intended to kill... as soon as he was able to. Life is filled with little ironies and I notice them as much as I do Trends and Patterns, which means... quite a bit.
When I want to understand peculiarities and anomalies about Western Culture, I observe them through an Eastern filter. When I want to understand it the other way around, I do it the other way around. What I mean is... when I want to get a fresh perspective on something, I change the way I look at it. If I look at it the way I... or anyone else... USUALLY look at anything, I'll see what I saw the last time, with no improved insight; The Surface conceals The Depths.
