Dancing Queens & Kings: Call for Participation (3)

Dancing Queens & Kings: Call for Participation (3)

My new book “Dancing Queens & Kings” is calling for participation. The only requirement is that you have competed in the USDC or OSB. Below is the timeline:

  • 7/23: 1-page highlight to tell your compelling story is due – Three new examples are shown in this post, followed by one old example for the sake of the next bullet point.
  • 8/31: 8-page final is due – One old example is shown in this post, as I am the only one who has largely completed his 8-page.
  • 10/30: The book will be reviewed by Sam Sodano and Wayne Eng.
  • 11/30: Publication at Amazon.
Is America exceptional, really?

Is America exceptional, really?

Yes, America is exceptional in many ways. But I believe it is time to point out that America is exceptionally dangerous to mankind, because America, if not fixed soon, may destroy us all as a species by provoking WWIII, via Ukraine, Taiwan, or somewhere else!

To fix America, we must dispel the conventional notion of American exceptionalism by highlighting some other exceptions, which is what this post is about.

Crisis: Ukraine vs. Cuba?

Crisis: Ukraine vs. Cuba?

The worst crisis in the world today is the war in Ukraine, which, if not managed well, may destroy us all as a species (This Is How World War III Begins). The crisis is often compared with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and hence the solution should be similar too (How JFK Would Pursue Peace in Ukraine).

I agree with this analogy in principle, but would like to take this opportunity to better understand the Cuban Missile Crisis, the war in Ukraine, JFK, and Joe Biden.
