"spiritual" just makes me think of some hippie douchebag using crystals to align his/her energies

Yeah, they treated others about the way Euros of the time treated others. Your point?

I believe your point was that we are learning to treat others better and better over time and that Chinese philosophy does that as well... considering the Han focus which continues to this day, I'm not sure your point makes any sense.

I mean Chinese racism (even in the present day) is quite legendary.

Spiritual folks do like to perform religious rituals, while saying how un-religious they are.

It's just more human narcissism. "Oh we're so special. God made us special. Let's do special things to show how special we are!"

It's just useless bull****

The term "spiritual" is now frequently used in contexts in which the term "religious" was formerly employed.[28]

(ie, its the same damned thing, but people want to show how 'different' they are from organized religion)

I swear most of you people would be happily in line a Soylent Green Restaurant.

Unless you imagine that the remains of all the dead billions who have preceded us on this glove have been spirited miraculously into outer space, I have to inform you that you are made up of an awful lot of stuff which used to be other people.

Ever swallow your phlegm or mucus ? Bite your nails or tear off a piece of torn cuticle ?


Come on down, Mr. Autophagous Cannibal !!!!!

They haven't been in a position where they have had to figure out how to benefit from overseas investment and international trade for very long, and they won't have to figure it out in a vacuum. They have the Western model to follow, but the idea is inherent in their culture and many others to begin with. I'd say it's part of humanity. We are social animals, and customs develop organically to allow us to live better as part of a group. Our groups just get larger and larger over time.

The idea of trying to generate energy by burning human bodies is absurd.

Perhaps they use the wick effect (the explanation behind 'spontaneous' human combustion).

I think the fact that I don't follow a book is a pretty important distinction.
