Why are you so gung ho about Hong Kong being controlled by a larger capitalist entity?

Cause he's a toddler on a tantrum who had every opportunity to live someplace other than America but still came back.

I don’t necessarily support China either. I just don’t think it’s so good guy bad guy

I probably could voice it more softly

I’ll admit (and this is to you too Bat) that my rhetoric is amped up recently because I’m supremely frustrated financially and professionally

I really don’t believe that China is worse than America though

I just don’t.

Ori - I’m not like a Sinologist or anything but I do know enough to have an opinion - I know you disagree but I’m satisfied that I laid a pretty damning case against America. The middle class in China live decent lives. The poor are ****ed. Sounds familiar.

I'm avoiding the China vs America debate cause it's an obvious distraction

But if you are against people protesting that they don't want to be forced to come under the heel of the Chinese govt, you are in effect supporting China.

That’s a valid point. I overstated my case because I’m crazy.

Yeah we know.

Most geniuses are. (probably said by a crazy person to feel better about being crazy, I don't think there is any proof)

I think there is some correlation between high IQ and mental illness

Isn’t there?

I know my IQ btw. They tested me in high school because I was crazy and then again after college and got the same score. I’m not a genius. My IQ is 112. Two psychologists thought I was “gifted” but nope. I think 85-115 is the average zone. I think they’re culturally biased in favor of eggshell social constructs.
