You are correct that chinas enemy is not the US. But complexity isn’t the the issue either. The issues are complex but complexity isn’t inherently the causal source of there issues. It’s not like oh the complexity was so overwhelming that it confused people and covid formed and young people checked out.
Your comment is an aside. The point is Japan and China couldn’t be more different. The guy was obviously comparing the two because, hey a bunch of mongoloid Asians reaching prosperity! They must be the same. It’s stupid af.
I’m Asian myself but I will say I don’t care about him being racist. Not trying to raise some social justice garbage here. I don’t give a shit about stuff like that. I’m commenting about the raw stupidity of the comparison not the moralness of it.
“Chimp with 3 inch brain” refers to humans.
Nobody said “3 brains”
There the message is simple - chimps with 3 inch brains love to pretend they can control ever increasing complex systems and scale. And obviously they can't.
China's enemy is Complexity. Not the US which is too lost to talk about. Complexity goes on increasing and pressure to pretend they have control also increases. Mistakes will be made and multiply with time. So see Covid, Evergrande/Country Garden, techbro crackdown, young ppl checking out etc. Larger the system more the issues not less. More fragile. Not less.
