Literacy alone in China took care of the separation with the exception of small landowners and some artisans who were able to pay a tutor to teach their sons how to read and write and a wondering scholar whose stock of Confucius' works made it possible for the sons to learn all of it by heart. That is why the Chinese respect money even today; social mobility was possible only for those with assets, and the destitute had to succumb to the fact that they were undeserving.
For that matter, only about 40% of "the Chinese" speak Mandarin. There are about 300 languages in China, and their stone-age-level writing is the only way they can communicate with each other, which makes their writing indispensable, but they also enjoy the fact that "western devils" have a hard time to understand a writing system that requires familiarity with about 15 thousand symbols (that denote morphemes) with a just about infinite number of combinations with the 52 diachronics (little markers within the ideograms indicating some sort of inflection in meaning, but ideograms can also be created for novel ideas), so one of the final tests at the Imperial Exam, when multiple contestants achieved a perfect score by reciting Confucius perfectly (assuming the mandatory bribes before the test hadn't taken care of it, because when all things went equal, the largest donor's son was declared winner), was the task to create a new "letter," and the most elegant solution was granted the title of the lowest-ranking imperial official.
Thanks! I now avoid 501c3 churches ( couldn’t find any I like in upstate New York & now central Florida. ) sticking with old videos of uncorrupt pastors & read Bible. When I did wake up, I would have been immobilized with depression without my faith in Jesus. It actually got me to stop my new age deception stuff like reiki.
The way nearly all churches stopped their services and/or forced the muzzle on their followers turned my stomach. They willingly abused children with the muzzle even at their schools. They showed their true colors, when their obedience ran astray. They swore allegience to Evil
Oh good point. I had been going to the oldest Methodist church in central Florida. They are still asking for prayers for “ Covid pneumonia “ “ Covid hang nail ” & haven’t connected all the unexpected emergency surgeries and the rise in recurrent cancer in the congregation. I don’t ask them for prayers anymore, they worship Fauxchi and fear , over God & common sense.
One lady actually said “ the Holy Spirit worked through me to help our oak park community get the shots as quickly as possible “. She’s sadly mistaken, in my opinion. And these are my elders, the people who made America great, now hopelessly brainwashed.
In traditional cultures, ridiculousness, stupidity, and evil are sometimes denoted by the same word. In Tibet, madness is defined as being selfish...
These days, it turns out who really is a Christian or even a human deserving to live. Those, who succumb to fear have no faith and are quick to develop psychosis that endanger them and everyone around them, especially their children. They fail to realize in time that living in fear is worse than death and by the time they get it, they are far too submerged beyond the point of no return.
One must choose between preserving their lives or losing it; it works both ways, depending on the meaning attributed to the two options.
The Ancient Egyptians had two languages one for the wealthy and one for everyone else. The Greeks had two calendars which were used in the same way.
Are the Chinese unique in their Confucianism / Taoism?

I suppose, I can put this up as a blog, too. :)

I don’t trust the Pope at all, not a bit.

You certainly cannot fix stupid.

Well said!
it’s ironic they accuse me of being brainwashed. They truly believe it. With a desperation.
People without faith despair...
