this week i got back into meditation and running and it really helped. i think i was hitting autistic burnout cuz i got super overstimulated easily and just couldn’t bring myself to do anything but after reading ismatu’s article https://ismatu.substack.com/p/girl-go-to-sleep-ft-lessons-from i finally allowed? myself to actually get some rest and dear god did it help.

could I be added to the role call please

Does anyone know what the status of the qinghua university implant was. I remember reading about it a while ago but anyone have any updates?

hey… as the only poster in the clarinet community - yeah no that’s fair i only posted because i saw someone else created it and there were no other posts

Went to the university i'm going to next fall's encampment. It's crazy to go from high school where i could barely find anyone supportive of palestine(supportive enough to actually take action. most people were supportive but like no one did anything which pisses me off to no end but tangent aside) to a full on encampment. food was bussin tho

Also relating to the comment below my multitotal and your response, i agree with multitotal that it’s a bit of a romanticization but also i think this can viewed as a negation of the negation. Negation of the primitive structure and the modern alienated structures for a synthesis into hopefully a better society.

That felt a bit incoherent but i’m too lazy to reword that so hopefully it’s at least somewhat understandable.

I was reading this paper a while ago and this is Marx’s theory of alienation. When we are so alienated from the products of our labor it seems to pointless often.

The paper talks about how even under socialist economies labor is alienated to be redistributed by the state. An improvement on capitalism, but nonetheless alienated

Another way capitalism alienates us, while not directly marx’s analysis on labor, is from community. It’s so hard to have community under capitalism.

maybe

to be fair the shanghai metro also has security(which imo kinda unnecessary but fair ig). but even then they have an actually nice metro

I have also had the chance to meet a pre-new china member of the cpc. He was my grandpa actually. Unfortunately he died a couple years ago and the last time I was back in china I didn’t know what a marx was…

I wish you the best of experiences though.

pleaseeeeeeee

how do i tag the post and join the list?

I read it a while ago and it was pretty good. Also i think it holds the record for the most citations in a single chapter i’ve seen at 154.

While musk’s antics are pure stupidity, something that has at least come out of it is its influence in the push for more reusable rockets and influencing chinas long march 9 plans. All credit of course goes to the SpaceX engineers and not musk.

I mean they've done this before... a quick invasion, taking of a treaty port, and a whole lot of opium

I personally really like to journal but even if you don't I like to prepare for interview by writing down like what i would answer to the questions. Then in the case of an interview I kinda already know where I want to go so i can focus on making myself more articulate and prose more interesting. Of course you won't cover everything you will get asked and will still need to impromptu some questions but i find i feel a lot more prepared and that helps with my anxiety.

Definitely! I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah, that's totally fair. It's so hard to just be a communist when ideology is shoved down your throat and a warped history is presented as fact. (Something that likely isn't possible but I saw the dude on the Geopolitical Economy Report youtube channel do is just go to china to study like poli sci so maybe consider?)
