Tenth Note to “Ein Che Ishqest”

Perhaps the most famous expression of all time in the very peculiar and eccentric world and subculture of philosophical nerdiness and wonkishness is from Marx, who said that philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways, but the point is to change it. But if you can’t change the fact that Russia and China will cover two-thirds of the world’s surface area, then what? The impetus behind the kickstart of the national security state or the ‘deep state’ after World War II was the fact that China and Russia were bound to cover two-thirds of the world’s surface area. Now, the national security state or the ‘deep state’ is in the red, and nothing changed at all. China and Russia are still gunning for two-thirds of the world’s surface area. It’s Washington that needs to change in my humble opinion. Not the rest of the world. Just let it go. If you can’t stop China and Russia from covering two-thirds of the world’s surface area, so be it. Just let it go and chill a little bit.
