Soldiers. All those weapons from the automation don’t carry themselves to the front. Robots would be too valuable for that.

That’s strange because even in his James Bond movies I think blond, not Bond.

Upvoted because it is true by design.

After Tiananmen they can’t believe in #1. The party showed that they were in control.

#2 is possible but requires that the elite mistakes money for power. I cannot imagine that old money makes such a rooky mistake.

China is producing so much steel that the USA cannot believe that they can contain the Chinese navy in a prolonged war.

I cannot pin it down but things don’t fully add up.

Downvoters, for #1? Jelzin was corrupt. Was there something similar in China?

About one hour in, he is talking about a three front war against China, Russia and Iran that was predicted in the 1990ies.

When you think, you do what is the most valuable.

So no free will but that choice.

The latter made me aware of the former.

The biggest pill was that I am not intelligent. I was just studious and invested enough time to pass exams. People not doing what they should do is not them being stupid but me not grasping the full picture.

The second biggest pill that I am still swallowing is that I am not a good person. I try to behave in a good way, but it’s manipulative and not authentic. People don’t like goodness if it doesn’t come from the heart.

Also, when you finally say “no” to them, they act as though you’re a terrible person.

To them, it looks like they are the only person to which you say no. This means that you say no because of them. People don’t like being questioned like that.

Add some assurance that the no is not personal.
