I’m just indulging curiosity. My comments have sparked a lot of responses from a lot of different commenters. I have no idea whether the respondents are in China, the US, or elsewhere, and while you all share some similar ideas, there’s a wide range of attitudes and ideas about what the current status is, what the goals should be, and how/time frame it might transpire. Your responses are just another one on the list and shape how I contemplate my own world views and then push me to construct a clearer goal of how to engage with different personalities and opinions in the future. I’m probably never going to meet any of you in real life nor will any of our personal actions amount to much on the global scale, but I do and will encounter real humans on the local level I operate on and have an influence in, so bantering philosophically with randos on the internet is practice for legitimate social engagement. It’s a place where the stakes are low and the points don’t matter but you have access to a wide variety of human opinions.
