      I keep having an experience lately that is something like "wow, history actually happened, to people who really existed, some of whom are alive today." It's striking that I didn't get this experience from history class in school.

      Example: Hayao Miyazaki was born in 1941, and survived a WWII bombing when he was 4, which deeply affected him. Once you start looking for this in his movies you see it everywhere (spoilers) - e.g. the superweapons in Nausicaa and Castle in the Sky.pic.twitter.com/RrVxD3jZdx

      In general Japanese fiction gets a lot richer once you start reading it as grappling with Japanese cultural trauma, the most obvious example being the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When I learned about these in school they were 100% abstractions, 0% real to me.

      Ex #2: the Cultural Revolution. Hooooly crap. This really happened to my parents, and to the parents and grandparents of tons of Chinese people, and Chinese-Americans never talk about it. It is our Holocaust. We've all been shaped by this cultural + ancestral trauma.

      I overheard a conversation recently wherein a person of Chinese heritage speculated that @Effect_Altruism isn't viable in China because people there are focused on increasing the resources & stability of their family.

      (Which was the only stable + credible unit of social organization that survived the Cultural Revolution.)

      I met some of the people involved with EA China, they definitely have to take a different approach for cultural reasons. Haven't asked them about the Cultural Revolution yet though, hmm...
