• [YT][posting][response] “China Hates SJW Star Wars” Provides Food for Thought

  

  This is pretty legit. After spending eight-and-a-half years in China, I have gained some insight into current Chinese Mainland culture, which should not be confused with other Asian nations and cultures, including Taiwan and Hong Kong. In a previous post where I discussed some commentaries regarding Solo‘s flop and China’s poor showing, I also touched […]

• [YT][posting][response] The Failure of “Solo” Is the Fault of White Men (WCB)

  

  I agree with WCB. The logic of Scott Mendelson is a little off. If the media would believe have us believe that the (white) majority of America is racist and sexist, why did Solo fail at the box office? Perhaps the reasons behind Solo‘s poor debut is due to a complication of many factors – […]

• [review] Why Science Is Wrong …About Almost Everything (Alex Tsakiris)

  

  Recently, there has been an academic and social backlash towards the elitism of the scientific community as new slogans have arisen. “Science is a construct”, taken at face value, is one of those popular buzzwords that should – and must – be brought into question. A better statement to theorize is: the trajectory of current […]
