Confucianism is Feudalism

In the late Bronze age, all the cultures started to write down their tales, aka religions, the East Asians are writing down their Rites, which if you read much about it, it is just plain feudalism and classism.  And Confucius was resurrecting the Rites of Zhou.

If you are from a class that read and write, you are supposed to follow the social order as layout in the ancient text, because only by obeying your lord, and stay in your station, the society will have order.  And if you cannot read and write, you are a savage anyway.

And after thousand of years of promoting being subservient, and casting out those who don't, you wonder why East Asians are so... subdued.  

Fish Pizzas

I was surveying what pizzas people wanted to eat, two of them specifically mentioned fish.  Is it a thing? 

Do they mean anchovy?  Which I remember having when I was in Italy and it was awful.

MAG Farmyard Party - Day 3

I planned to wake up early to take down the tent before clocking in for my shift.  I woke up at 4 am and saw the sunrise, but I wasn't ready to get up, so I went back to bed.

I overestimated how fast I could take down my tiny tent, so I clocked in a little late.  And my last shift is also traffic management, so watching bikes goes and be a lollipop lady for the morning.

We had some lunch buffet before I rode home.  I am glad I have ticked Farmyard Party off.

MAG Farmyard Party - Day 2

The music did not stop till 2 am, and earplugs are useless against heavy bases...  We were so close to solstice, so the light were up early.  It rained a little, and I was a little cold at night.  Welcome to camping in England.

I wandered around the stalls again, chatted more about bikes, and then clock in.  Stamping people's hands and ask them to get off the road, whilst watching clouds past in a gazabo's shade.  

After work, I caught the back end of the comedy show, then I had my dinners, and went to walk down to the river, it was a long way down, and I did it twice...

I turned in early again, this time I was wearing earphones with podcast, much better.  I did wake up slightly around midnight, but I wasn't about to get dressed and go to watch the adult entertainment...

MAG Farmyard Party - Day 1

I went up again after I finished with work.  I went on the road I knew, again, I didn't know how they look exactly, so I am glad I can see it now.

I pitched up and clock in for work, which is traffic management, watching bikes coming through, and chatted about bikes all afternoon,

MAG Farmyard Party - Day 0

I have been meaning to check out the Farmyard Party, this year worked out perfectly, just.  I had to pop up for an induction on the Thursday.  I also take the opportunity to take in some scenic roads.  I really like being able to see where I actually went on like this, thanks Cardo Ride.

 

Urban Power Outage

I came home to a big hole in front of my house.  The oven's clock was blinking.  There was a power cut, but since the meter history wasn't immediately available, I would have to guess what happened.

It turned out to be some 12 hours power cut.  I wonder when they will come to fill the hole.
