Global Thinking in the 21st Century
How Understanding China Means Understanding the World
It's 2024 and the world is more divided than ever.
Divisions are mounting everywhere: between political parties domestically, and between entire countries on the global scale. The pandemic has given us a reason to blame, hate, and revile. There is a mounting tension in the air. What will come of this? That’s up to you to decide.
But I can help.
While witnessing my country seemingly being torn apart by political polarization, race hate, and systemic violence over the past three years, I realized that my perspective formed by living on the other side of the world most of the past decade has caused me to see things differently. The world, to me, is not divided into left and right—it’s multidimensional, and those most important dimension is the one WITHIN us all: the spiritual dimension.
What you can expect to gain from the course:
- A generalized process which you can use to test your beliefs and check for and revise any double standards or misconceptions about countries or cultures far away*
- A robust BS detector which you can use to avoid being exploited by movements which have a hidden political agenda
- A broad understanding of the large-scale shifts taking in our world today, and a better conceptual roadmap for how to navigate it
*I will not be prescribing new beliefs, nor will I be “debunking” misinformation. I will simply be presenting a “toolkit” that be can used to make our worldview more practical and realistic, and which can then go on to inform our outlook and decision making in our lives.
What's Inside?
- 3+ hours of structured lecture material forming an actionable process and robust framework for global thinking
- 2 exercises: one to help you test the consistency of your beliefs and revise them if necessary, and another to guide you in assessing global situations in order to understand them at a deeper level

It's Okay to Not Pick a Side
It’s no secret that US politics has devolved into an all around hate-fest, with each side simply vying to assert superiority over the other, rather than acting in the interest of the country as a whole, even going up to the highest levels of government. Most of us, due to the social dynamics around us, have fallen into the trap of taking a side. But the real world does not only have two sides, and by fighting a partisan agenda we are simply distracting ourselves from the things that matter most – our personal journey towards actualization, happiness, and inner peace. In the course I will outline a clear path from one-dimensional (two-sided) thinking, to a multidimensional framework for seeing the world, which can put us back on track to living our lives to the fullest.

LAQ: Likely Asked Questions
1. Why is this relevant now?
The US is seeing China as more and more of a threat, and this is being misconstrued by our media and politicians as something much more serious than an economic competition. The result is a dynamic of antagonism, hate, and negativity across the pacific, which stems from fear, fear of an unknown. In some circles, war is not only a possibility, but a necessity. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Our perceptions of China are veiled in fear and misunderstanding, and an ingrained superiority complex from being the number one economy in the world for the past hundred years. We need to tear down our ego and look at the situation from a rational perspective. This means acceptance, tolerance and understanding. Not for but for us. For the sustained prosperity of our country, and our own happiness and well-being. Cultural differences are real, but they are not insurmountable, and they are far from as scary as we think they are, if we simply take the time to look deeper. By constructing a global mindset via a cohesive worldview, we can start to act rationally, and start to get our country back on track.
