On both occasion in which I chose the U.S. over Europe, I did not leave
lucrative jobs behind. Wealth generally does not come from jobs. But when I
decided to remain in the U.S. rather than return to my situation in China, I
did leave a great deal behind. My decision was a matter of listening to the
deepest aspects of myself that I can hear, and it required some courage to heed
that voice since, as I said, all I had was two suitcases. Any story about why
I chose to obey that voice would be just that, a story after the fact. And I
could tell a bunch. No lack of stories in my life. Why I chose to remain in
America is a complex question, and I doubt I could do it justice in an email.
Moreover, I do not believe that causation is only in the past. The ultimate
understanding of why I made that choice may lie in the future. I often do have
accurate visions of the future, but, equally often, all I get is a "You'll
see."
I did educational research in China. It was successful far beyond even my own
expectations, and I expected a lot. a

What kind of research were you doing in China.??

Here's the censored stories that BigEvil doesn't want the masses
knowing much about.
Feste27, the minds that keep this knowledge from the headlines are
LIKE YOURS -- except, you know, you're a pissant they'd never deign to
have as part of their cabal since you don't have two IQ points to rub
together. Wait, I'll take that back. The intellectually challenged
deserve our love, but you are a mindful supporter of evil and you're
so bad at it that evil too cannot stand you.
Yours is the face of the banality of Kali Yuga -- when every manner of
oblivious self-serving hideous rationalization is commonplace.
