THE WAY THINGS ARE: The meaning of life is to be found in thinking about what is reality and the beauty of reality is to be found in our DNA's memorization of all forms that have been successfully retained along the four billion years of evolution of the principle of life on Gaia our earth. In the end what I mean to say is that beauty is something objective and what we call ugliness is then simply our unconscientious feel of something evolution did not retain.

CHINA'S COMING OUT PARTY
in Informed Comment: Global Affairs, by Philip J. Cunningham
And then what?
What good can the gratuitous and unthinking humiliation of a trauma-racked nation of 1.3 billion people possibly serve?
The antic cheerleading of demonstrations seen in recent weeks, when not outright rude or violent, has the one-sided nature of school spirit, being true to one's school at the expense of others. In trying to bring attention to one set of problems without thinking through the consequences of attention-grabbing shocks, racist chants and media stunts, a whole new set of problems is set into motion.
Racially-tinged currents of rejection, betrayal and resentment are surging to the fore in a new, yet wholly unnecessary, confrontation between East and West.
 CHINA'S COMING OUT PARTY
Beware an angry China
The Protests, The Olympics, And The Yellow Peril.
Excellent, Excellent article.
Cunningham is right on the mark. These last few days of what appeared as rejection, in our windows on the world, has the potential to drive us all straight toward a future confrontation between East and West; a wholly unnecessary confrontation that whiteman is bound to lose.
The 20th century has illustrated how the capitalistic competition between European "micro-nations" (micro at the scale of the world) could lead to the barbarity of 2 very destructive wars.
Today's capitalistic competition is between world-blocs:
- China and the larger Confucian area make up over 25% of the world population and are the most successful at the capitalistic game.
- Europe and the US barely make up 10% of the world population and are in economic retreat.
- Everything indicates that the other nations representing the remaining 65% of the world population, in case of conflict between East and West, would align in their very large majority with China against the West.
Is this what we want as an outcome?
