		<description>Clearly, the Singularity is coming. And soon.

Why? Because for thousands of years, philosophers have known the famous 篆书/ Warren Ratio.

It goes like this:

When the length of time it takes a foreigner to go from learning 篆书 to singing 对面的女孩看过来 on a CCTV talent show approaches equivalency with the length of time it takes post-election Obama to turn his back on the people who elected him and embrace Rick Warren, the Singularity becomes imminent.

We&#039;re rapidly approaching a 1:1 on this.

Back in Matteo Ricci&#039;s time, for instance -- with no CCTV or pressing inner need yet on the part of men for women to 看过来 from 对面 -- we were all pretty safe from both Rick Warren gaining control of the US Presidential Inauguration to make funny faces at women, gays, lesbians and anyone else living unbiblicaliciously, and/or the sudden rise of self-aware super-powerful post-human intelligences who decide, &quot;Earths belong to us now, ha-ha-ha.&quot;

Wait a second.... Nah. Never mind.

No, wait. Could Warren and Barack be the harbingers of the Singularity? No, that&#039;s crazy. The sudden rise of self-aware super-powerful post-human intelligences who decide, &quot;Earths belong to us now, ha-ha-ha&quot; could never be heralded by such a silly event. Forget I mentioned it, and, for goodness sake, please, don&#039;t buy survival kits prior to the Inauguration. It&#039;s going to be okay. Even it is the beginning of the Singularity, we might be safe in China. Self-aware super-powerful post-human intelligences might not want to deal with the foreign policy hassles associate with interfering with the internal affairs of China.

Then, again, the Walmart Super-Building in Wang Jing has a sort of Singularity vibe to it. And there&#039;s the Mystery Wart landing pad on the CCTV WorldWide Pants Building. These could be advance forces.</description>

		<description>I have a moderately interesting comment about the Singularity on the way.

But for now, I want to super-顶 with an extra layer of 沙发 the concept that Bokane, as a phenom, has only existed in Beijing since post-Olympic Nod times.

Coincidence?

Yes.

But also 缘分. Which is a super-顶-ed state that Coincidence can achieve under certain rare extra-沙发 circumstances in which Coincidence acquires an extra gluon (stuck to the borders of its 鼻孔, in a mildly gelatin state, commonly referred to by physicists as the &quot;Super-顶 鼻屎-2 State&quot;, also sometimes referred, as in physics shorthand, as a 顶-Ah-Ling).

Is causality implied in the Super-顶 鼻屎-2 State?

Ah, I knew you&#039;d ask that!

You see, this is where it gets theoretical: I&#039;m not implying that Bokane caused the Great Nod, but we&#039;re just not yet at a point where we can talk falsifiables with any great degree of  沙发-bility.

Apologies to those of you can&#039;t read Chinese. I don&#039;t know some of these physics terms in English.

Anyhow, the point is, Bokane -- the phenom, not necessarily the person -- and the Beijing Olympics are strangely connected.

This is extra 顶-Ah-Ling.</description>

		<description>Hey there, so I&#039;ve been reading your blog for a bit over a year now although I&#039;ve never posted. Always entertaining, and sometimes brilliant stuff. The way you wrote a few articles was simply poetic, blew me away when I was reading it.

Now why I commented for the first time. You&#039;ve taken breaks here and there from blogging, but you need to post more. That&#039;s right, I, a complete stranger, am imposing upon you to blog more for my enjoyment.

But hey, give it another few years of incredible articles and I might just drop you another positive comment!</description>
