Master Chim and Jack dig into the rot in modern society—materialism—by discussing the fact that the all-nurturing feminine empathy ethos is in sync with corporate aggression and big money. This discussion is part of Jack’s promotion of his Becoming a Barbarian.
I listened to this while writing a rape scene and listening to Mozart.
As a way of discovering how far apart your ethos is from the mainstream, listen to a five minute FM radio talk segment at 8 a.m., flip on CNN News for one segment between commercials—making sure to view the commercials—and then listen to this and see where you line up.
Jack’s sense of the false emotions of the salesmen and the disgusting customer service retail matrix so many of us exist in is on point.
Master Chim seems to have an excellent mindset for a martial arts school leader and finding out he is New York-based, I hope to line up some cross-training or competition with our Maryland and PA fighters.
