The Coming Removal of the Mandate of Heaven, Part 2: Water
The Coming Removal of the Mandate of Heaven, Part 2: Water
Water, water everywhere but all of it polluted
Before I started I wanted to address my last post. I wrote it a little too hastily due to a sick daughter and I plan to go back and clean it up somewhat. The political infighting aspect will be trimmed down as I plan to discuss that more in Part 3, with only the parts directly addressing the food issue being kept in.
China has also started taking efforts to address some of these issues and I want to address what they’re doing. I fully admit to having an axe to grind when it comes to the CCP, but I want to make sure I’m as intellectually honest as possible. This includes giving them credit on the rare instances they manage to do something smart.
The fact these plans will wind up making it worse is just icing on the cake.
I also want to reformat it according to the template I plan to use going forward.
I’ll also be doing a Part 0 for this series which will include a table of contents for all of the posts in this series, and which will provide an overview of the relevant portions of Chinese history with a special focus on the Confucian concept of the Mandate of Heaven and its removal.
I hope to get that done tomorrow evening, but can’t guarantee that will occur.
