Flying Pigeon: Should China learn more from Tibet than Tibet from China?
His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher
industrialization should learn more from Tibet's wisdom than vice
versa. After all, China's path is similar to the West's painful
industrial revolution. This is bound to tip the balance of Climate
Change even further while the Chinese embrace cars and other Western
habits such as eating meat and junk food.
Where is the Mighty Pigeon* that flourished under Mao? Here it's
relegated to a few shops that sell it cheaply while junkie Chinese-
made "mountain bikes" crowd shelves at Walmart stores.
Enough wisdom for today. Time to ride my Beach Cruiser! (Yes, I may
have a Flying Pigeon in my future!)
* The Flying Pigeon is the bike that has pushed forward not only
billions of people, but also is at the forefront of the whole bicycle
phenomenon in the People’s Republic of China.

Notice the above sets me apart from the elitist cyclists that claim
certain unfounded opinions that we should all be on the highway...

I guess that's my style: classic British bicycle, copied by the
Chinese, and then brought to Africa. I ride it safari style, ie. hat
and open shirt to beat the heat and cool down my head from Internet. I
don't like Mao, but I don't like China embracing capitalism either. I
call my way "the Dutch way." Hey, my way or the highway!

Notice I'm promoting Tibet's way over China's way. I was baiting the
Chinese who are so daring as to call this Dutch man a "faggot." They
want their way or the highway. Look...

But they know this monkey is able to throw shit in their face and
didn't take a bite. Of course, I'm also promoting my "true wisdom" in
those groups while showing the Dalai Lama is just too nice to be
effective. They attack him viciously in that thread calling for his
death...
"The Dalai should be arrested and shot for treason."
I'm able at this point to make my Wisdom of the Jungle stand face-to-
face to Tibetan Wisdom and keep going where they stop. No, there's no
reincarnation, but yes there's wisdom in their simple way of life.
Very importantly, they tell you to "ignore the jungle" and go inside
to be happy. No way. We fix the jungle first THEN be happy.
And last but not least there's the issue of monks being secretive
about sex while this monkey promotes Tantra and sexual liberation,
including women rights to show her breasts.
The main vehicle of liberation is, of course, the bicycle. The Flying
Pigeon and some African versions of it are the sturdiest and most
practical vehicle over the SUV of choice now.
Thank you for listening to my preaching. ;)
