We went to the HQ of Yili today, which is the self proclaimed "future silicon valley of dairy" and also a very surreal experience in how one can advertise milk

A NASA-esque control room, but for milk production

I haven't started it yet but it's a very nice introductionary version because it comes with a lot of annotations and commentatory

Two pages of a book in Chinese, they are ca. 45% annotations

now this is interesting

your closest affinity
墨
Mohist

Mozi, c. 470–391 BCE — universal love and the discipline of utility
You would have been a Mohist — a follower of Mozi (c. 470–391 BCE), founder of one of the great schools of the Hundred Schools period. You believed in universal love (jian ai) — impartial concern for everyone, against the Confucian gradation of moral concern by relationship. You opposed offensive war (and Mohists were famous for sending fortification experts to help besieged states), supported meritocracy against hereditary privilege, advocated frugality against aristocratic display, opposed elaborate funerals and music, and believed in Heaven as a moral force that rewards and punishes. The Mohists were organized like a religious-military order under a grand master (juzi). After the Han dynasty the school disappeared as a coherent movement and was only rediscovered in the late Qing. You are the figure of the consequentialist-egalitarian — utilitarian in something like the modern sense, anti-elitist, pacifist except in defense, organized for action.

Erasmus, the Greek New Testament (1516)

You read Greek for pleasure and scholastic hair-splitting for sport. You think the world is mended by better reading and gentler manners, not by burning it down or splitting it in two.

One of the results of today's calligraphy session, a 南無阿彌陀佛 but because I miscalculated how big my characters were the 佛 is missing. Also I really need to do more training again, my brush control is largely abysmal.

Sure Lieutenant Governor Hamilton, I'm sure slaves "looked up to their masters for Protection" in 1780s Bermuda, especially considering he spends the rest of the inquiry explaining how there are no regulations regarding the corporal punishment of slaves, except for murder, for which the fine was 10£
