Preface: Employment is Not Just a “Livelihood,” but a Basic License for Civic Existence In capitalist ideology, “employment” is brutally reduced to a purely instrumental equation: “Job → Income → Survival.” This logic chains human existence to capital’s hiring whims, systematically equating joblessness with social worthlessness. Unemployment becomes morally weaponized—branded as proof of personal inadequacy, market […]

The Cost of Extending Pension Contribution Periods
Introduction: A Global Surrender of Time Amid a profound global demographic reversal, virtually all modern nations are performing the same quiet yet decisive institutional surgery: delaying retirement ages, extending contribution periods, and recalibrating benefit expectations. Technocrats package this transformation as “the necessary response to the aging crisis,” while fiscal departments frame it as “rational adjustments […]
Read MoreThe Catastrophic Consequences of Test-Oriented Education in the AI Era
Preface: As AI Illuminates the Future, Humanity Retreats The artificial intelligence revolution should herald a “singularity” moment for human civilization—a time when knowledge becomes nearly free, tools amplify human capability exponentially, and individual creativity emerges as our most valuable asset. Yet a profound irony unfolds before us: while machines evolve at breathtaking speed, our educational […]
Read MoreWhy systems matter more than tech
This passage emphasizes that the key to civilizational progress lies in systems, not technology. A system defines how social resources are organized and how power is structured. Its flexibility determines whether institutions can improve and whether technology can be used effectively—ultimately shaping the direction of civilization. A healthy system drives prosperity; a rigid one leads to collapse. Technology only serves the system.
Read MoreVoting vs. decision-making: Understanding their roles in civilization
This article explores the fundamental difference between voting and decision-making. Voting reflects the distribution of power and interests, while decision-making requires a small group of people with strategic competence. When these two are blurred, decisions risk becoming shortsighted and driven by emotion, leading to power imbalances that ultimately weaken social governance.
Read MoreServing the people vs serving the state: what is the right path of modern governance
Why do nations exist? Not for slogans, not for borders, and not for GDP numbers. The true purpose of a nation is to protect basic human rights, uphold the dignity of its people, and improve their quality of life. If a country appears powerful but its people are suffering—if there is national pride but public […]
Read MoreCowardice and brutality in Chinese education: a warning and threat to global civilization
I. Why are cowardly and brutal styles of education so common in Eastern societies, especially in China? To understand these two distorted educational patterns, we must go beyond blaming individual parents or schools. Instead, it is necessary to examine the deeper cultural and historical roots—particularly the long-standing authoritarian structure of Chinese civilization. For centuries, Chinese […]
Read More“Something deeper than belief” is the devil’s flute
In today’s world, the greatest threat is not war or massacre, but the hypocrites wearing masks of kindness, peace, and humanity. They use soft, comforting words to cover up evil, weaken justice, and dilute the truth. They preach “transcending ideology and belief,” claim “we are all connected” and share a “common humanity.” With this vague, […]
Read MorePolitical sovereignty and the foundation of an autonomous civil society
Without citizen sovereignty, there can be no true citizen state. 1. What is a state? What is a citizen? A state is not merely a set of borders, institutions, regimes, or ruling authorities. In its modern form, a state is a political community voluntarily formed by a group of social citizens, organized around shared interests, […]
Read MoreWhen I heard the Harvard girl Jiang Yurong speak at graduation
“Going beyond ideology and belief”—that is the devil’s flute. Not every gentle voice brings peace—some quietly lead us away from justice. People who often well-dressed and well-educated, speak sweetly about “going beyond beliefs,” “transcending oppositions,” and “celebrating our shared humanity.” They speak of how “we are all the same” and how “our shared humanity matters […]
