We have another entry in one of my favourite genres, "people showing their whole ass trying to claim East Asians Are A Conformist People", and this part absolutely sent me:

"Compare the doll-like uniformity of a K-Pop star to the striking uniqueness of David Bowie" or don't do that?? Why would you do that very dumb thing?? The "Individualist West" has pop bands; hell, these K-pop groups are incredibly successful in the west. Korea/China/etc have avant-garde artists like David Bowie; they just aren't a controlled corporate product for export so you, dear author, haven't heard of them, because you don't know anything about China or Korea.

As revealed by that last line "the lone outlaw type that originates in Odysseus" no it originates in all storytelling in every society. You are writing an essay about culture in China, there are literally four books you just have to know the name of to even apply for that post and this is one of them:

The book even has a Bowie-style hefty dose of homoeroticism! Precious, irreplaceable levels of swinging-and-missing going on here.

And yes this is a lead-in for an essay about how AI will invalidate China's cultural model because people will use it to cheat on homework, because when it rains it pours.

(H/T Richard Hanania for the reblog, who continues to be highest value-add "shit you can find on the internet" follow around for me, variance is a quality all its own)

1954

I have been delving into the musical past of different countries lately and was delighted when I heard Chang Loo (Zhang Lu) a pioneer in Chinese pop (beginning in the 40's).
