Another great video. I'm surprised to hear that Chinese kids have designer sneakers even if they're poor, just like here in America. It makes a lot more sense where everyone has to wear uniforms, it's a good way to stand out. Do you guys have drug dealers over there? I swear, there were so many times in the video where you would say "Rich kids do XYZ, but poor kids do ABC" and I thought the "ABC" was going to be selling drugs! Here we have some poor kids who don't go to college, then they become tradesman or work in a factory-- you know, they're normal. But anywhere In America as urbanized as you are showing in your videos? A LOT of those poor kids become criminals before they even graduate highschool. I respect that your culture doesn't glamorize criminanality the same way (until the criminals get filthy rich LOL)

They make students wear uniform is for the purpose of minimizing the hard feelings of poor kids, you got that right. I might take it too far, but I doubt the effectiveness of this mandatory action. At the end of the day, kids don't know why materials don't mean shit to their identity, what they learn is the importance of obeying, so they are still gonna find another way to impress people in the superficial way. Dealing drug is too much for a Chinese kid lol, but shit I know it's pretty normal in the States, especially in the hood. But in China, it’s not even easy for adults to have access to drugs, unless you are already doing other criminal activities. Drug is not for poor people, it’s for bad ass. Yeah, I mean if we are just talking about poor people, they had their restrictions growing up, financially or politically, as long as they are not spoiled, they are gonna provide their value, no doubt. Low criminal rate is definitely what people want, and it's also very helpful to regime stability, especially you are dictator, you have to weigh what the people need most. When most people are satisfied with the rules they make to lower the criminal rate, they are encouraged to make more rules, but rules are against freedom and creativity, which are the path to a more beautiful world. In this case, everybody's restricted, nobody has the chance to live their full life. No matter you glamorize criminality or not, bad kids are still gonna find a way to do bad shit, even if they appear to have a legal job, or decent social appearance. Good kids are gonna take the essence and discard the dross, you know, take the courage, gratitude, and use them on their good will and intention. I'm being a lil wordy, I guess I just feel like talking to a friend

@@coolfishonthetrack Apologies in advance that my response isn't 1:1 addressing everything you just said -- I find no flaws in your observations. Funny enough I was poor as a kid (and had no fashion sense) and I always wished we had uniforms for public school, but I think it's likely that stifling kids creativity their whole lives make very boring and obedient adults, as you say. You may be interested to learn about what's called the "Prussian Education System". It was invented by Frederick The Great in the 1700s explicitly to make the young generations obedient and disciplined, turning them into perfect industry workers and soldiers. The United States uses a bastardized version of this today, which I think is responsible for a lot of our mental health crisis. Young kids see this bizarre dichotomy where anyone successful is a creative person, or at least a trailblazer in business, a person who thinks "outside the box". Meanwhile you cannot operate this way and be successful in schooling, the only way to succeed in school is to be hyper-disciplined and do exactly what your teachers tell you, no-questions-asked. At the same time, kids are told to be themselves and follow their passions, but that advice is disastrous for most kids that choose that path. The American approach really relies on a very very very very tiny percentage of citizens doing so spectacularly well that they YANK the rest of the country into the future with their innovations, but it leaves millions of people homeless and drug-addicted in the streets. The collectivism of your country is mostly the opposite, although China has done a fairly good job of blending collectivism and capitalism, it's fascinating really. I suspect that if China was much richer your system would out-do us, but China is cannibalizing every penny coming into the country and seemingly not spending it as wisely as they could....

@@ChubbyPillbug Nah man, there’s nothing you should apologize for. It was great information and perspectives. I can’t agree more on your analysis on the effects of the influencing dichotomy. I had the same thoughts probably because I experienced exactly the same shit, and I was so confusing about the contradictory between being hyper-disciplined and following my passion. It led to depression and other mental problems. It was so hard to me at the time, because what I good at was what I was forced to be hyper-disciplined for, and that process killed my passion. I couldn’t find a connection between my passion and self-discipline, because I was afraid of my passion got killed by being discipline again. Along my growth, nobody can help me find this connection, I guess most people are just as confused as me. Everybody was influenced, everybody was influenced by what other people told them. Because that’s comparably easy, independent thinking consumes a lot of energy. Especially you are surrounded by people like that, it makes it looks even more reasonable to just blend in. I guess it’s still a long path for education to find the balance, every kid is personalized, they are encouraged to stay with their passions, and find it’s necessary to be disciplined, instead of being forced to do so. That’s kind of heavy… But shit man, don’t worry about China surpass anybody, even though that is our goal, but nobody succeeds because they want it so bad, success is something you attract. Like you said we don’t spend our money wisely, we have to spend those money to comfort our people’s stupidity originated from our complex fucked up culture and morality. 🤣🤣

@@coolfishonthetrackI'd say drugs are easy to access in china but the punishment is so severe. You can easily but medications that are used as recreational drugs. 2 years ago in some parts of China methi, heroin, opium ECT were openly used and very common in many places, one good things is the suppression of drug use I recall meth available and heroin and opium on the Burmese boarder 20 years ago .
