People here like the 40-year old TJ. or the image he projected.

I can make this analysis as I doubt anyone here can make it. as they fail to perceive people as time passes.

The image of the guy seating on a nice place. Telling tails of a long distance land appealed a lot to the people of the geographies here.

People who like James Michener books who chronicled family sagas in different geographies.I saw it different because I lived and worked in these different geographies.

And he was the long distance boy affable. Bon vivant. Always the winner. And here is where he got caught on his tale. Always the winner. Like a cat, TJ always landed in four legs.

Life isn't like that. In life there are times you fall face to the ground and on your ass. Portraying himself as the always winner is what betrayed TJ as he tried to keep the projected image shined.

Elaine aka Cobalt Blue, was the first one, back around 2002 to show she was not buying TJ portrait. And she wrote that down. She was lambasted and ridiculed here. He called her Evilette.

Hawkmoon was another that told in plain English what TJ was.

Many here were buying the photograph rather than what he really represented. Then TJ had a child, Coconut. And he changed his perspective. That followed by his son Jack.

It is life and we all enjoyed him seeing his daughter grow up. Same as me with Experiment. Although some fiver years in advance.

Next the TJ changes for the worse.

TJ gets old

People change as they age. There are those who change for the better. Mostly they do this at about early 30s.

Stop drinking, womanizing. Take the jobs serious. Stop doing silly things. You know become an adult. Having a family.

That is not what I mean by "people change as they age". I mean the people who start seeing evil as the norm. THE ANT specialization is these changes and he can give his professional opinion.

It is right here in front of our eyes but people, ordinary people, cannot frame what they see under this perspective.

A world full of elderly people is not a good world. A world full of youth -the 60s- is a better world than the world -2010s- full of elderly. And is bound to get worse as 10.000 American babyboomers turn 65 daily.

Two things conspired to TJs deterioration.
1) The fact of seeing things from the perspective of whole life lived in a city-state
2) The China rise

If one put these 2 together, one would see that TJ became uni-dimensional. He could no longer see that what he was thinking was 10% of the world. He lost his perspective.

When you stop being able to relate, you have lost your perspective.

all along everybody here was still thinking that this Mainlandinized TJ, was still the TJ of the late 90s early 2000s. It wasn't.

It was an eTJ. The Evolved TJ.
