How's your Chinese?

Amongst foreigners being only after one thing increases. Personality and humour find the lowest common denominator, the many sides of you go unseen all the stars in the sky look very similar because of our distant perspective here on earth. One-dimension of personality replaces all others and diverse society defaults on the atmosphere of a three star hotel, that distance/difference from one another is the reason that facets vanish and the dimension defaults into a one-size fits all level of business rapport. Nobody really likes anybody anymore, but let's be professional and not kill one another - that's the ethos of diversity. You won't have any friends but you will have therapists, paying people to listen will become all the more usual because no one wants to know. Diversity helps to transform human relations into a commerce in the continued marketisation of everything. Birds of a feather is an enemy to this market of employed rapport and paid concern, the more damage can be done to the social fabric the more capitalists can capitalise on this. Building a society where the masses are naturally diverse and estranged from one another was a genius move on behalf of the bosses and bankers.

And there are apps which will never be invented because of Donald Trump, the 19th century understanding that the US constitution does NOT apply to the whole earth is returning. America is choosing social life over its gimics and if MAGA is successful it will be a country of fewer, better options. No American alive today has experience with anything other than being spoilt for choice, for many years the motif has been to downgrade chemistry in order to maximise production and consumer choice.

The belief was that human beings are fungible. To belong everywhere and nowhere the idea that you can take every individual on earth and turn him into an extremely versatile spare part for the system. It would be very efficient if this was the way people are but it's not, they have invented computers and anything that does not compute - i.e. human nature - is now disregarded. They diagnosed human nature as a barrier to commerce and seek to destroy it. It's not the new socialist man they are creating, it's the new capitalist man - the man with no friends or family or country or god or any other loyalty apart from his loyalty and dependence on the system. To annihilate community and self-sufficiency in every way, shape and form so that everything is a trade.

Is there one Chinese word that means, "Face blind?"
