I think the point is that there's a difference between simply "doing hard-work" and "self-made". The first is about what you did, the latter is what you think others did for/with you.

I don't think there is a point where China will 'disengage', rather China will continue to do what it is doing now: monitor closely and throttle accordingly.

My gut feeling is that "work" (as it we know it now) is pathological. The fact that it's considered best practice to separate work and friendships, says a lot about the nature of work. Our modern age conception of work is lit

I like VR too but a product that makes people gasp with delight is not the same as a product that people want to use regularly. The problem with VR as a standalone product (and not just as peripheral) is that when using VR you have to give
