主题：上海疫情封闭时在邻居微信群里的闲聊 3 -- 履虎

Me:

I have ever tried to answer questions on Quora. Many foreigners understand Chinese Culture even better than many Chinese.

M:

In my country and the science branch I chose to study in high school, we studied philosophy as well. Asian/ especially Chinese philosophy was a big part of that besides western and Ancient Greek philosophy. Confucianism was especially emphasised as it has meant so much to the Chinese thinking and culture…

Me:

and which country are you from

oh..north europe...

i worked in shipping line before, quite familiar with world ports and logistics.

I was responsible for business devlopment, projects, special goods, reefer and live goods, dg cargo etc...

then spent ten years to find out what i Ching talks about.

M:

I don’t know about Ching. But I do have Sun Tzu, Art of war on my iPad library…

Are you retired? I am here on an international assignment to work with data science and artificial intelligence…

Me:

No. I came from Guangzhou last year and set up a new cultural company.

M:

That really sounds interesting! Dealing with?

Me:

En...let me think

i Ching is the root of human civilization. I explain i Ching to all lines to inspire innovation.

That is my wish.

M:

OK… is it some kind of religion?

Me:

Mankind is in the eve of evolution from the late stage of the information society to the cultural and spiritual society.

No. It is not religion.

Religion is kind of organizational form of human society.

M:

True. So we will transcend?

Me:

Sure. Quantum physics, artificial intelligence all rely on human spirits. So i Ching is the ONE.

Same for metauniverse.

M:

OK. Parallel Universe?

Me:

Not only. i Ching explains everything.

M:

That sounds like my wife…

1. Is the pandemic a man made disaster?

2. China is in the forefront of digital technology. But the apps are very buggy. However, I met the chief data scientist at China XXXXXXX, and I almost got scared…

3. I believe that the words of Confucius nailed it…. And there I think many societies got lost. Learning without reflection does not foster creativity or the ability to make synthesis across different domains…

Me:

1. pandemic is just the last sector of a series wars, after trade, technology, finance, economy wars cannot defeat China.

Once China wins Shanghai battle, it is the time US collapse, the ultimate crisis.

2. It is your opportunity.

3. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is bound to be the great rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.

It is my duty to realize it.

M:

You know, when this pandemic started in February 2019, I and a colleague had a coffee break. We said that the only country in the world that could curb this decease is China. For US with their health care system it is a disaster. And then India would be a disaster as well, but their population is much younger, so probably not as bad as in more aged populations…

Me:

4. Chinese Civilization defines the cultural and spiritual society,, which includes Quantum physics, artificial intelligence and Metaverse.

M:

US in the risk of collapsing. The difference between rich and poor has become to big. The American dream when people could work their way up in the social hierarchy through being creative and working hard is almost gone…

I can agree that quantum physics almost make me spiritual…

Me:

All in one i.e. i Ching.

Pandemic tests the tenacity of Chinese Civilization.

M:

Not only the Chinese …

Me:

I mean who can stand the test...

M:

Having worked quite a lot internally with many nationalities, I use to say that I am afraid of Americans, because they are stupid and short sighted. But I am afraid of the Chinese because they are smart and longsighted…
