America presents itself as a system built on arrival. Come, contribute, comply and belonging will follow. 😊 The promise is implicit, rarely stated aloud, but reinforced through law, labor markets, education systems, and cultural mythology. For many Asian immigrants and their descendants, this promise has always functioned less as an invitation than as a conditional contract; one that demands output without guaranteeing protection.

Relax and Go
Here in the good old United States of America, we have a remarkable talent for speaking in polite code. Take the phrase “I gotta go.” Short. Sweet. Vague. Yet universally understood.

Essence, Embodiment, and Relational Reality
The Failure of Reduction and the Need for Synthesis There is a persistent failure in many modern attempts to explain what a human being is. Some frameworks reduce the person entirely to matter, insisting that identity, consciousness, morality, and meaning are nothing more than emergent properties of physical processes.

Both approaches fail because both misunderstand essence. One denies that essence exists at all. The other treats it as something vague and undefinable.
