yeah...
i have been thinking...
psychoanalysis (in america) arose primarily (i believe though could be wrong) by Jewish people largely for Jewish people. Part of a culture of trauma where that trauma was legitimated (somehow) by the Nuerenbueg trails...
When I was in Otago there was an academic there, in the Centre for Bioethics who was working on atrocities commiteed by the Japanese against the Chinese in WWII. He had this really nice message about 'our common humanity'. I don't think he got much ''screen time'' because his English did not ever sound particularly good. Thick accent etc.
But I would go to the gym and see BBC headlines on 'Hong Kong protesting expediation policy' and I got curious about what it meant...
And the Falun Gong protests...
And...
Well...
Where are the organs coming from in China. Such that a person can schedule their surgery (for whatever dollar amount)?
And (don't get me wrong) I imagine much of the data to the effect that 'sure, we have performed millions of surgery's like those' is hyperbole. But I also imagine that it is hard for the Chinese Government to come to terms with the world valuing the lives of the Chinese people when the World did not hold the Japanese to account for many of the atrocities that were committed against the Chinese in WWII.
Of course bombing the f*ck out of the Japanese sucks pretty bad for the Japanese...
And American was concerned to repair for that...
But perhaps America (despite good intent) got in the way of Japan being called into account by China and whoever else was victim to their expansionism.
SO presently we have a situation where China is saying 'well, f*ck, the world didn't seem to mind before when we suffered and so now it is our turn'...
With respect to Tibet and Hong Kong and Taiwan...
And whoever else they can get away with...
I don't know.
It is hard. This idea of individuals vs people. Groups vs people. But it does make sense to me.
Where did the organs come from? Mostly false reports about what was done (a 'Hauser' -- I like to call it). But also... Yeah...
I think Australia is wrong to institute a 'racist' response of 'we will not train Chinese Transplant Surgeons'. They should be saying 'we will not train ANY surgeons who refuse to / are incompetent to obey rule of law where rule of law is about just distribution of costs and benefits (best we can genuinely figure) for society as a whole).
