Confucianism.

“not to do to others as you would not wish done to yourself”

“to form one body with all things”

The true cost.

Who donates to Black Fridays?

Thanks, But No Thanks: When Post-Disaster Donations Overwhelm

Who’s donating?

Are Bangladesh’es donating sweat?;

Or

Are Buyers donating used up clothes?

The results are affordable “anythings”

You have money (suddenly). You can build and resell..

You can:

  • Build places that you would’n live in.
  • Build places that you would like to live in.
  • The explosive first economic era is more about quantity. Option 1.

    The second economic era is more about seeing the whole picture. Option 2.

    Nobody’s fault.

    We learn by doing. By mistakes. Brainwashed each couple of generations. Accordingly to our needs: more stuff; less stuff.

    In the past being holistic would need lots of newspaper readings.

    Nowadays you know live about a new survivor rescued of the Thai cave.

    It is becoming difficult to not see the world. The whole.

    Even constrained by our limited attention capacity. We do a kind of attention time-share. After a huge Airbus accident, lots of minor accidents become news. After an important plastic surgery death, we become aware of lots of otherwise unnoticed plastic surgery deaths.

    Netflix does its job on giving space to what audience wants.

    We are starting to see the whole.

    Be it the whole fashion industry. Be it the next thing.

    The whole world.

    A world.

    It is finally becoming smaller. We have more siblings — suddenly.

    Confucianism?

    With this, I ask:

    What is love?
