Why Can't Foreigners Produce Philosophy and Philosophers?

Vernacular Chinese is a garbage language, so it is suitable for conducting garbage discussions or discussions related to garbage. I happened to come across an article titled "Why Can't the Chinese Produce Philosophy and Philosophers?" The author is reportedly hailed by many media outlets as "the most closely watched philosopher in China in the new century." The garbage nature of Chinese media dictates that only garbage phenomena, like Super Girl contestants, receive attention, so what it means to be defined by the media as "most closely watched" is self-evident.

When a person is indignant about the so-called "exclusive veneration of Confucianism," as the author of that article is, most of them have already become puppets of whatever other doctrine they exclusively venerate. Using a Western-standard definition of philosophy and philosophers as a premise to discuss the existence or non-existence of so-called Chinese philosophy and Chinese philosophers—this kind of exclusive veneration is truly Super Girl-level. And now attempting to use some so-called "Truth, Goodness, Beauty" triangular structure to continue the delirious babble of grand systematic frameworks—that's naturally not even worth one feverish sneeze from old Hegel.

The dogmatic assertion that triangles are the most stable implies that this is a dogmatic assertion within a world where the dogmatic assertion of triangular stability can be dogmatically asserted. Mathematically, one can readily construct a space in which this dogmatic assertion, even in terms of logic, is a genuine dogmatic assertion—and logic is nothing but the last fig leaf of so-called wisdom. What is wisdom? Wisdom is nothing but a series of tremors in brain waves. Whether or not one accepts this definition, either way it corresponds to tremors in brain waves. There is no wisdom apart from brain waves, and without so-called wisdom, brain waves remain brain waves. If there truly is any wisdom, this is the only wisdom.

Why can't foreigners produce philosophy and philosophers? No reason—just as one can construct countless spaces in which triangles are no longer stable. If there is a brain wave of "Why Can't the Chinese Produce Philosophy and Philosophers?" that masturbatorily considers itself the world's only brain wave, then of course there can be a brain wave of "Why Can't Foreigners Produce Philosophy and Philosophers?" masturbating a little. The sole characteristic of brain waves is self-gratification, and self-gratification is power—a power that can also have a boring name, for example: discourse power.
