Key Notes

Lecture framing dated 2026-06-24.

diagnosis

Jiang treats cross-cultural belief in voodoo, ghosts, and demons as live evidence that possession remains intelligible outside a modern secular frame.

Student interpretive response given on 2026-06-17.

model

A student says the Divine Comedy reunites thought, religion, and love into a unifying principle that can cross cultural divisions.

Historical interpretation stated on 2026-06-17.

Comparative civilizational model stated on 2026-05-28.

model

He argues that any civilizational supremacy, whether white, Chinese, or Japanese, would arise from the same deeper logic of empire, communal pride, and conflict over whose story is legitimate.

Personal-political assessment stated on 2026-05-28 about a conversation from a few months earlier.

evidence
