Alcohol as a “shortcut” to a relaxed mindset, referencing a Daoist analogy
I remember a similar analogy. A drunk person having a supple body that can’t be harmed, I think a basically similar idea goes into drunken boxing.
Okay, next question, why is China so old? What if China was Christian? Tell me about Chinese Hobbes?
This is so odd. Kindof an interesting diversion, but the topic is alcohol and only the first question had any real link. Ask about baijiu! Also the completely neutral mention of Falun Gong and religion in modern China makes it clear that he’s not going to say anything interesting on that front, which is… probably wise of him.
Uck. Baijiu is horrible stuff. If you’ve ever wondered what that oily, acidic unpleasant Victory Gin from 1984 was like, baijiu (especially the cheap stuff, not the Maotai t that Mao drank with Nixon is the world’s closest approximation.

Aah! That came out of the blue.
That’s enough commentary from me.
