Not exactly and explained the reason. TJ when he was on his 40s (late 90s early 00s) he was in possession of his mental faculties. And he had intelligent opinions not only about Hong Kong environment and market. He was still displaying characteristics inherited from his father. Proud of his mixed race. Multicultural world views and had a sense of humour. He could write an original post of his own thoughts. He could write intelligent replies too. And was witty, see his Gold vs QCOM discussions with MQ. His brain begin to fast deteriorate at his mid 50s. Fast for it became perceptible. One could compare Jay Chen of 1999 with Tobago Jack of 2010. He started, first, displaying nationalism towards China. He no longer could write a post that it was his own thought. His replies were always a couple of lines. The dead giveaway was him conjuring the future of the world as ending in darkness and a new world would be built out of the ashes with a new sovereign which would be, obviously, China. It was then that I thought: Hang on ! Is people not seeing this as a sign that TJ has gone bananas? My analysis is that he has deep issues that were repressed in youth and mid-age but are coming to the surface as the guy ages.

I, once in a while, discuss with THE ANT brain capacity survivability long term. The brain deteriorates with age and as westerners' longevity extended (the bodies are keeping working) it came to the surface the issue of: How to keep the brain apace with the body living longer? And this has something to do with TJ. Which is interesting because it affects all of us. So I keep a focus on my own brain and of people around me. The Chinese stop earlier than us westerners. The retirement age in China currently is 60 for men and 55 for female civil servants and 50 for female workers. When I was working with Chinese they were surprised that I was till working in 2010 ! When I was 58 years old. And I was not in an office I was building fiber optic with in the Angolan bush. Dribing 3.000Km in a week. The pole-climbing life I chronicled in SI. The Chinese working with me told me, in China, as people approach retiement (which is at 60) they barely do anything. That is why it is very umportant for Chinese parents to raise their children -that they traditionally had at an early age- take care of them at old age and old age starts earlier there. Which prompted me to do theorize if the Chinese brain deteriorates at an earlier age than us westerners.
