Here is a message I sent to the Chinese embassy in France recently:

Quote
Monsieur l'Ambassadeur,

J'ai vu dans un article du Figaro qu'un consortium chinois vient d'acheter 900 hectares dans l'Allier, après avoir mené une opération similaire dans l'Indre. Cet article cite Christophe Dequidt, qui dit que "la Chine compte 20% de la population mondiale, et dispose de moins de 10% des terres arables pour la nourrir".

Par ailleurs, je sais que le projet "la ceinture et la route" est un projet particulièrement important pour la Chine. Ce projet a pour but de lier l'Europe occidentale à la Chine par une voie de chemin de fer très rapide. Ce projet pourrait être davantage apprécié (et boosté) par l'Europe occidentale si davantage d'exportations étaient faites de l'Europe occidentale vers la Chine.

J'ai un capital de X euros, et j'aimerais me lancer dans le secteur de l'agriculture, et j'aimerais en particulier que ma production soit exportée vers la Chine. Avez-vous des conseils à m'apporter? Quel type d'aliments vous intéressent, et combien offrez-vous pour chacune des différentes céréales, ou des différents aliments qui pourraient ainsi être produits? J'aimerais connaître ces informations avant de me lancer dans cette affaire.

J'ai l'honneur, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur, de présenter à Votre Excellence l'expression de ma très haute considération.

Dear Mr. Ambassador,

I saw in a Figaro article that a Chinese consortium has just bought 900 hectares in the Allier, after conducting a similar operation in the Indre. This article quotes Christophe Dequidt, who says that "China has 20% of the world's population, and has less than 10% of arable land to feed it".

On the other hand, I know that the "belt and road" project is a particularly important project for China. This project aims to link Western Europe with China by a very fast railroad. This project could be more appreciated (and boosted) by Western Europe if more exports were made from Western Europe to China.

I have a capital of X euros, and I would like to start in the agricultural sector, and I would particularly like my production to be exported to China. Do you have any advice to bring me? What type of food are you interested in, and how much do you offer for each of the different grains, or different foods that could be produced? I would like to know this information before embarking on this business.

I have the honor, Sir, to convey to Your Excellency the expression of my highest consideration.


I would like to receive an answer.
I will transmit you the answer if I receive one.

In 1900, Will Heelan and Fred Helf have written "Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon".
They criticized the lack of unity of the black community.
It seems to me that critics are not irreproachable.

Quote
The leader of the Blackville Club arose last Labor night
And said, “When we were on parade today
I really felt so much ashamed, I wished I could turn white
‘Cause all the white folks march’d with banners gay

Just at de stand de German band
They waved their flag and played ‘De Wacht am Rhine’
The Scotch Brigade each man arrayed
In new plaid dresses marched to ‘Auld Lang Syne’
Even Spaniards and Sweeds, folks of all kinds and creeds
Had their banner except de coon alone
Ev’ry nation can brag ‘bout some kind of a flag
Why can’t we get an emblem of our own?”

Chorus:
For Ireland has her Harp and Shamrock
England floats her Lion bold
Even China waves a Dragon
Germany an Eagle gold
Bonny Scotland loves a Thistle
Turkey has her Crescent Moon
And what won’t Yankees do for their Red, White and Blue
Every race has a flag but the coon

He says, “Now I’ll suggest a flag that ought to win a prize
Just take a flannel shirt and paint it red
They draw a chicken on it with two poker dice for eyes
An’ have it wavin’ razors ‘round its head

To make it quaint, you’ve got to paint
A possum with a pork chop in his teeth
To give it tone, a big hambone
You sketch upon a banjo underneath
And be sure not to skip just a policy slip
Have it marked four eleven forty four
Then them Irish and Dutch, they can’t guy us so much
We should have had this emblem long before”


Transformation...

Quote
For the Jews have their David's star and menorah
Catholics show their Cross
Even China waves a Yin and Yang
India a Hamsa
Muslims have a Star and a crescent
Blacks have their rasta and their fist
And what won’t Russians do for their Hammer and sickle
Every culture has an emblem but the proots...

We will now see how we can defend ourselves against a threat.

In general, it only takes a step back.
I recoil, and the person in front of me understands that I feel threatened.
In general, the interlocutor will calm things down, and he will become calmer.
Why?
How can a simple recoil move be so powerful?
A recoil motion may be associated with an explanation.
By backing up, it's as if I'm explaining to the other that I find him threatening.
Despair is a misfortune very rare in today's society.
Few people are able to betray.
To betray the other is to expose oneself to despair.
Very few people are capable of it.

Sometimes it's not enough to have a recoil.
This is especially true when the person in front of us is a "mortof", that is to say, a consciously ill-intentioned person.
A "mortof" is a malicious person, consciously.
What to do in these cases?
I will tell you an anecdote.
at university, I have a teacher who has a strong tendency to be threatening.
One day, this teacher was teaching in a classroom, as it happens often.
Most of the teachers stay close to the board, to skip the slide show, to be heard, to write on the board, or to point to certain items that appear on the screen.
Usually, this teacher also tends to stay close to the board.
But that day, the teacher broke off in the middle of his class and walked down the hall between the tables.
The students were rather sleepy, and most students did not pay close attention to this attitude.

Me, I was at the back left (far from the board) of the classroom.
I saw the classroom in my right visual field, and that was going back to my left hemisphere.

I had a friend, a Muslim, who was at the back right of the classroom.
He saw the class in his left visual field.

There were three Catholic boys right behind me (one of them was my friend).

There were two corridors in the room: one on the left, the other on the right.

The professor was coming up the left lane, and he was approaching me.
At first, I did not pay much attention to his strange behavior.
But the closer he got to me, the more it bothered me.
My gaze followed the professor's movement until I caught the eye of my Muslim friend, who was at the far right of the room.
That's when I really suspected the teacher of doing "tmenyek".
In the middle of the class, the teacher pretends to be disturbed by a bag in the middle of a deserted alley.
Why?
The teacher does "tmenyek", that is to say he exaggerates: he gives importance to unimportant things.
He tries to have an angle of attack.
He tries to accomplish things "à l'embrouille" (in chaos and confusion).
Catholics can be very threatening and dangerous.
They are messing around (ils cafouillent).
They are messing around, again and again.
They are messing around.
And suddely, they try to accomplish things in chaos and confusion.
That makes Catholics threatening and dangerous.
My great-grandfather was a Catholic.
I am not saying bad things about Catholics.
I am making a reproach that seems to me legitimate and relevant.

How did the story end?
I put pressure on my teacher.
I scanned him, analyzed each of his smaller movements.
Because I knew it was dishonest what he was doing.
I was able to defend myself thanks to my muslim friend.
It's my muslim friend who permitted me to defend myself well.
His attitude a little panicked allowed me to have the correct attitude.
In Arabic, put the pressure, it's called "balek".
Sometimes, my grandfather says "balek" to my grandmother, if she takes risks (for example, if she brutally unmolds a caramel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flan).

In conclusion, I have three things to say:
  • Thank you, Tahir.
    Thank you for being my friend.
    Thank you for helping me defend myself against a very real threat, in France, in 2016.
    Thank you for helping me to stop this threatening teacher from accomplishing bad things in chaos and confusion.

  • When you have a culture related to reason, you have to sit to the right of the classroom.
    It's when you're on the right side of the classroom that you're strong.
    To the left of the classroom, those who have an intelligence of emotions are the strongest.
    For Muslims and Jews to be strong, they must have images in their left field of vision.

  • It seems to me that this anecdote testifies to the fact that Jews have an intelligence by precision, and Muslims have an intelligence by approximation.

As I said in message #55, as I said on page 6 (through the pictures), there are four key numbers to cultivate well-being in the Jewish community:
  • one: the sweetness, the unity of the community

  • two: flavor, specialization to apprehend potential enemies (who care about team spirit rather than decency)

  • three: harmony, to know how to rub shoulders with other Westerners

  • iinfinite: curiosity, to discover new things, thanks to chance


To cultivate harmony, divide the Jewish community into three:
  • those who cultivate the love of life

  • those who cultivate performance

  • those who cultivate moderation


In my family, we tend to cultivate moderation.
My mother tends to cultivate the love of life.
Sometimes it's something that puts me in trouble.

On the maternal side of my family, that's to say those who cultivate the love of life, people tend to do particular things:
  • they have excessive pragmatism, they search for "what works", and they tend to have negligence sometimes very vexing

  • they work hard,which is positive

  • they are particularly offensive because they criticize things that make up my personality: they criticize my tastes in music, and my way of styling, and my way of dressing

  • they have no respect for my personal choices

  • the only thing that interests them is "what works", and what will allow them to live long

  • they have a strong lack of curiosity (probably that their curiosity is just different from mine)

  • they are often in excess

  • I sometimes have the impression of disturbing them, and preventing them from accomplishing their "mission"

  • they lack performance

  • they ignore many things that seem to me very important

  • they do not know as much as I do in history, especially

  • I have the impression that they do not have the same love of numbers as me

  • prime numbers do not interest them (while it's something very important)

  • they are only interested in their studies and their profession, and seem to have no independent project

  • they are not passionate about numbers: whether it's sports scores, or historical dates, or whatever


I find them sometimes weird and scary.
Historically, few Jews have managed to make their love of life blossom.
I think they need help.

They need help to find out what projects interest them.
Maybe they would like to provide freelance work to build wind turbines, and that sort of thing.

I think they need help to find out which numbers interest them.
Perhaps the numbers that will interest them are the numbers that will concern physics and mechanics, and that will enable them to build elaborate things.

I know they like boats.

More, those who cultivate the love of life tend to get upset.
For example, yesterday, my mother told me "I do not like mezmerize, it speaks too much and it's too boring" ("saoulant", this music I like makes her drunk...).
If I say, "you're mean," then she'll take it badly.
I am obliged to answer "what you say is mean".

There, she answers "maybe ... but do not blame me".
She makes a mistake, and in addition she goes on with imperative and order.

I tell her that she lacks delicacy.
She replies that I too lack delicacy.


It was not me who was unscrupulous about the likes of the other.
Yet, it is not me who spoke to the imperative.
It is not me who makes unfounded criticisms.
Sometimes, my mother is grossly dishonest, and it is trying and painful.

I like the Chinese language.
If I have the opportunity, I would like to learn to speak this language well.
Also, I would like to visit China.
Chinese culture is a culture that I find very beautiful.
Personally, I would tend to encourage a rapprochement between the Jewish community and the Chinese community.
I would like to know what the Ashkenazi and the other Jews think about it.
I would also like to know what the Chinese think.

I will tell you another story.
Do you remember Tahir, whom I mentioned just a few moments ago? (message #73)
One day, I played ping pong against Tahir.
The match that was played was really incredible, and I will tell you.

Tahir offered to play ping pong against him.
I accepted.
I'm pretty good at ping pong, and I thought I was probably going to win.
I still paid attention, and I tried to play well.
I was in the lead.
I had many points in advance.
The score was 20-14 in my favor.
I have never seen anyone go back a 20-14.
I know that we must be careful to distinguish clearly what is accomplished from what is not accomplished.
But I have never seen anyone go back a 20-14.
And that's what he did.
As the game progressed, my opponent tensed.
I had a little compassion for him (il me faisait un peu mal au coeur).
He was tightening more and more.
He looked so focused that I did not even dare to speak.
I know I could still talk, but I wanted to see what he could do.
My ping pong racket seemed to be stuck in the palm of my hand.
I played pretty quietly, because ping pong is a sport, and it's a game.

So, Tahir managed to come back to a score of 20-20.
But he had not won, far from it.
I was determined to defend my chances.
He had taken me by surprise, clenching himself violently.
But if I did like him, then I could still beat him.
That's how I put a point.
21-20 in my favor.
The match resumed.
After seeing him score 6 points in a row, I finally managed to put some points.
We went up to a score of 25-25.
I've never seen that.
I had never seen a score go so high.
Never.
And the strangest thing was that my adversary showed no sign of trouble.
He did not smile, he did not look surprised, he did not look disturbed.
That's probably what got him to victory.
28-26 for him.

This match is definitely one of the strangest I've ever seen.
I probably could have played better.
But I did not want the game dimension to be abandoned.

I finally got off the racket with my hand.
I deposited it gently on the table.
And I said "well done, Tahir".


What is the lesson I learned from all this?
He beat me little by little (il m'a eu à l'usure).
His extreme concentration prevented me from speaking.
He brought me into his world, without music.
He brought me into his world, where there is little harmony.

The real lesson I have learned is that all happiness is not good.
Sometimes it is deprivation that is strength.
I do not like saying that, but it's the truth.
We are only humans.
Perhaps if every human was able to cultivate all intelligences, privation would be a stupidity.
But this is not the case.
This is not the case, and therefore, deprivation is sometimes a force.
If the human does not want to live in privation forever, then he must learn to cultivate all intelligences.

Have I really been less strong than him?
Yes.
My curiosity made me do stupid things.
I could have talked a little bit.
I could have resisted this mechanism.
I could have defended the harmony.
My curiosity made me do stupid things.
The real cause of my defeat is my excessive curiosity.

Jews are weak because they are few.

On the other hand, it was only a match.
He once feigned me, but he will not feign me a second time.
His victory does not mean much.

We can still note one thing.
When my opponent is very focused, what's going on?
He is confusing.
He is making a serious confusion.
He forgets that ping pong is a game.
He gives excessive importance to the match.

It's something important.
He makes me suffer.
My opponent makes serious confusions, and that makes me suffer.

For thousands of years, Jews have failed to identify precisely those mechanisms that allowed Muslims to establish a position of strength.
Why?
Because the suffering was too much.
