To learn about Chinese and Asian real history, you'd probably have to read an American Blogger, LOL. Probably been true through all of time, that to really know about your own culture you'd have to ask your rivals. Then put the entire thing (what your own culture says about itself and what the rivals say) through a huge filter and then have a beer.
Of course those in charge don't really give a rat's ass about history (or religion for that matter). They care about things like divide and conquer, bread and circus, staying in control, being ultra rich etc.
That last sentence is exactly how and why those in charge are in charge, stay in charge and care only about the history and religion that can be enforced and jammed into our heads.
That is why it is a crime to so much as doubt the WWII Holocaust in Europe. People have and are fired from jobs, fined and jailed over that.
Same reason it is a crime to so much as possess a copy of the Islamic Center shooting incident in New Zealand let alone publish it. At last check there was an 18 year old NZ blogger who got 10 years for possessing a copy of that livestreamed "event." Having watched it live and then a few more times with analysis from military and movie production professionals, it becomes clear why Ardern et al suppressed Kiwi civil rights over that. That obviously staged massacre provided their excuse to take every Kiwi's guns and further steps that made their covid tyranny more easily executed.
Pretty much every tragic event goes this way and is milked for all it is worth to rationalize the worst democidal maniacs' actions.
If I listened to the experts on me, I wouldn't be here, on the inter webs, for soooooh many hours a day. 🙂
Hi @lil-chick and @joe2
Regarding your earlier posts mentioning schizophrenia, I'd like to post a link about the role of niacin supplementation in the treatment of the condition.

One of the better treatments of Hoffer and his ideas. Thank you.
Update, it appears JP is experiencing akathesia, which I needed to look up. It is a side effect of psych (and other) drugs in which you cannot be still.
A loved one of mine is half way through his/her eighties with two common addictions-- that have caused health problems-- and happily goes on nurturing his/her addictions. Is that sometimes actually... wise?
The other day I was watching clips of "my 600 pound life" and thought it was so sad that the patient in the story was forced to go "cold turkey" on his pain meds (which he was addicted to). Dr Now was afraid that the pain meds were going to start burning a hole in his stomach. But they hadn't yet. After a bit of weight loss the patient just went downhill, was despondent and broken hearted, and died within the year...
When death is that near, (within a year) why would you ever withhold pain med? Get this person on hospice. Keep him clean, safe and comfortable and let him have some peace.
There are stories of addicts who just ride out their addiction on purpose because they realize there is no turning back. Some of them are even people who we think of as great thinkers, for instance, Alan Watts.
Just this week I saw a commercial for an anti-depressant and it said that it could result in permanent movement disorders or something like that.
Do the people prescribing and taking these drugs know just what they are risking? How is this a better alternative than the other addictive substances that eventually do harm? JP gave up alcohol because he thought it was going to harm him, and ended up on a psych drug... that harmed him. The irony. He really liked alcohol, to boot. Did he "really like" this depressant? Would he have rather partied his way to a toasted liver?
I hope JP's journey starts people talking about this horrible downside to these drugs.
Everyone is so impressed when someone gets to the other side of their addiction. That IS great when it happens. I have my little-tiny-one-drink alcoholism and I struggle even with that. Right now I'm down to 1/2 drink a week and feel great. But that was a tiny addiction and even that is hard and I feel the pull and I'm sure I'll backslide.
You can't blame people for wanting to give "dropping the monkey off their back" a go. But when is it time to say: This person is so dependent... that their final years will be better... just feeding their addiction in some sort of safe manner, at home, in peace?
