These Chinese bots or people or whatever they are have become a blessing indeed. Some of the things I have written and forgotten, when I read them again, I ask myself, “Who wrote that?” Doesn’t sound like me at all, Whoever that fellow is seems to be actually making sense! A timely essay just now: … More Golden Oldies 2
I am still trying to figure out what’s going on – why all of a sudden my material is of such fascination to mainland China. Since summer, my back end stats record that they are now my number one viewership audience and devouring back articles going back 20 years. For the life of me, I … More Golden Oldies
The increasing disaffection with organized religion is a statistically relevant modern trend.
