An open letter to President-elect Trump
Dear President-elect Trump,
Once again, congratulations on your impressive win. Here is my first congratulations to you published on 11/6/2024: President Trump in the real world of Three New Kingdoms.
The American idea is a lie!
I came to America in 1985, believing in the American idea for one simple reason: It sounded fascinating. However, shortly after realizing my American dream (My American Dream Story), I started doubting it. Now, I have concluded that the American idea is a lie.
America vs. China: three videos
In a previous post (Why does America hate China?), I highlighted why America hates China: China is too successful, too quickly! In this post, I provide three long videos to help you further understand the relationship between America and China.
Two great American public intellects: John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs
In this post, I will highlight two great American public intellects: John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs, focusing on their insights into the war in Ukraine and American exceptionalism.
America: Peace vs. Freedom
Peace and freedom are two important things to mankind. But what is the essential relationship between them?
I argue that the most important thing for an individual is freedom, but peace is the most important thing for a community. For example, we sacrifice some forms of personal freedom (e.g., drinking & driving) for the betterment of the community (e.g., public safety).
Furthermore, I argue that America has oversold and overbought freedom but undervalued peace, both at home and abroad! This is one of the main reasons America not only is a failing state (Is America no longer governable?) but also may destroy us all as a species by inciting World War III (Will America lie all the way into WW III?)!
