“sex with a minor” -> rape of a child

Saw their show the other night in Korea where they showed the same flag. The whole show was epic and laid out a lot of uncomfortable truths. The whole show is here for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/mW_c909VqVU

The medical system here in Korea has the full spectrum of convenient and affordable treatment to almost comically broken policies like the ones this article mentions. Even so, it is overall still so much better than healthcare in the US (I know that is a low bar, but the contrast is stark).

Neo-confucianism is a broad term for a loose collection of philosophical ideas influenced by or based on the writings of Confucius

It refers to Confucianism as it was revived during and after the Song dynasty (성리학). In the case of Korea, it typically refers to the orthodoxy that traces its heritage back to Confucius through Zhuxi, the Cheng brothers, and Mencius.

Also not to be confused with New Confucianism, which is a modern Chinese development of Confucianism.

I work at a top university and can confirm that the overwhelming majority of students are concerned primarily about jobs. It doesn’t matter how good the school is; this is an effect of industrialization and more importantly education being reduced to a means for economic development and productivity. In my experience, it is ironically worse at the “better” schools where acceptance is highly competitive. If I’m being honest, a good community college is the sweet spot: teachers invested in teaching and students with the leisure and/or low risk/investment in just learning things for the heck of it.
