Pressure-Point Therapy is an Important Aspect of TCM!

On top of this, some aspects of TCM have developed through added-on superstitions that became popular in the past – but are not related to the philosophical foundation of TCM (probably the “Change Classic”). These Chinese superstitions are culturally comforting – but are not premised upon genuine TCM philosophy – and cannot be materially (objectively) proven to work either traditionally or cotemporally. In the West there are two strands of TCM – one practiced and passed-on by ethnic Chinese people (who may or may not – be linked directly to Mainland China) – the other practiced and passed-on by (usually “White”) non-Chinese people. The latter category evolved out of the Western invasion of China – and the “enforced” teaching of TCM to Westerners. In the UK there are TCM centres (specialising in “acupuncture”) that have no links with any authorising ethnic Chinese institution. These are considered “racist” in historical origin and function – as such entities represent the “White” appropriation of Chinese TCM culture – a process which “excludes” the ethnic Chinese from their own culture. This remains the case even if certain ethnic Chinese individuals are taught this stream of Westernised TCM (which actually happens).

China: Dinosaur Footprints Found from About 200 Million Years Ago! (8.12.2025)

Palaeontologists have identified more than 20 dinosaur and other vertebrate footprints on a rock wall in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, a discovery they say sheds new light on early dinosaur evolution around 200 million years ago.

The tracks were found in the city of Dujiangyan by a hiker last month, and their authenticity was later confirmed by a research team led by Xing Lida, an associate professor at China University of Geosciences (Beijing). It is the first time dinosaur footprints have been reported in Dujiangyan.

Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.

Stalin was a Great Working-Class Leader of Organic Communism! (20.8.2025)

Another tiger-trap is the “National Bolshevik” movement. To be clear, I am a Bolshevik (from the Chinese perspective) – but I am not a nationalist (Indeed, I am an “Internationalist” – a Maoist no less). The “Naz-Bol” movement evolved out of a fascist-infected (post-1991) Russia. This movement integrates Hitler’s ideology with a post-1945 US (Cold War) misidentification of Joseph Stalin. This flawed ideology misinforms that there is “no difference” between historical Hitler and a fictional Stalin. Well, 41 million dead and wounded Soviet citizens would beg to differ. Naz-Bols combine Marxist-Leninist economics with Hitler’s warped theories on race. This rejects the Marxist idea of “Internationalism”. On the face of it, these deluded individuals will talk highly of Stalin (as I do) – and then state he is no different to Hitler (which I definitely do not) – claiming both were ruthlessly racist (a complete lie – Stalin wasn’t even Russian).

"We Will Win Because We Are Right and You Are Wrong!"

On How Marx Exposed “Inverted” Bourgeois Religious Thinking – and Proved Hitler Wrong – the Jews Did Not Invent Communism! (24.6.2025)

In fact, there is one sublime and pristine observational comment made by Karl Marx which kills all theistic religion dead in the water – never to be re-born again. This is a very different situation than simply deciding to be an atheist or non-theist, etc. Anyone can place their mind anywhere on an arbitrary scale that measures “belief” and “disbelief”. Hitler, for instance, had so many contradictory beliefs that it is obvious his thought processes were all over the place and lacked a proper anchoring in existential logic and reason. He ordered 800,000 ethnic Germans to be publicly executed (many beheaded with an axe) for disagreeing with his flaky thinking. As Hitler possessed “no original thought” – he was unable to produce any truly “original thinking”. Hitler simply spent his time recycling old hatreds in new ways, believed scarecrows were ancient fertility gods, declared June 21st New Year’s Day, and made sure his maniacal soldiers received a steady supply of performance enhancing amphetamines – drugs that enabled the wounded to keep fighting and the usually placid to be full of rage and anger.
