Action though non-action is internally consistent? Some might call that apathy.
well to address that point, genetic sibling, I make three points
1. Chinese is a different language than a romance language like english. You have to imbibe the language to get the language. Barring that, you can go to people who are fluent in both languages for an appeal to authority
