  • The Private Life of Chairman Mao: The Memoirs of Mao’s Personal Physician is a memoir by Li Zhisui, one of the physicians to Mao Zedong, former Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, which was first published in 1994. The book have details of Mao’s personality, sexual proclivities, party politics and personal habits. The biography was based on his recollection of journals he had kept

    Li Zhisui documented that Mao engaged in sexual relationships with numerous young women throughout his time in power. He described these relationships as taking place in an environment where Mao’s requests were essentially commands, with the women often being staff members or fans, frequently leading to health issues for the women involved

    Li Zhisui wrote that Mao believed in traditional, quasi-Taoist health practices (specifically relating to Fangzhongshu, or “arts of the bedchamber”) despite mao himself crackdowned traditonal beliefs and spirituality during cultural revolution. The belief was that by having sexual relations with young women without ejaculating, or by absorbing the yin energy of younger partners, he could replenish his own yang energy and extend his life .

    Also Dr. Li Zhisui, indicate that the Chinese leader Mao Zedong frequently received nightly massages especially from his young male attendants.

    Mao suffered from chronic insomnia and reportedly relied on massages from his young male bodyguards or attendants to help him relax and fall asleep.Dr. Li noted in his memoir, The Private Life of Chairman Mao, that these male attendants were often chosen for being “easy on the eye” and mao wrote poems on how great massages from young beautiful men

    While some interpretations of these accounts suggest a sexual element, Dr. Li’s descriptions often focused on Mao’s deep emotional and deep physical dependency on his young male staff for comfort, rather than explicit sexual activity with men.

    The book was heavily criticized by supporters of Mao and some Western academics, who questioned its accuracy and suggested that Dr. Li had personal grudges or motives for sensationalism However, many other historians consider it a vital primary source.

    While some interpretations of these accounts suggest a sexual element, Dr. Li’s descriptions often focused on Mao’s deep emotional and deep physical dependency on his young male staff for comfort, rather than explicit sexual activity with men. Dr.Li in his memoir because of backlash didn’t gave much details on the deep map’s deep emotional and physical dependency with young men staffs.

    These reports sit alongside much more extensively documented accounts of Mao’s many sexual relationships with young women, which he viewed through a Taoist lens as a means to “acquire energy” and extend his life. This memoir by Dr. Li shisui is very controversial and banned in china



  • In many reptile species, females are larger and sometimes stronger than males, which contrasts with the general mammalian trend where males are typically larger and stronger. This difference is driven by fecundity selection—the evolutionary pressure for females to maximize egg production—compared to the sexual selection pressure that often favors larger males in mammals.

    1)Fecundity Selection (Egg Production) In reptiles, a female’s ability to produce more or larger offspring is directly proportional to her size. Larger females can accommodate larger abdominal cavities for carrying more eggs or delivering bigger, more robust hatchlings. In many lizard and snake species, selection favors females that can produce larger clutches, leading to the evolution of larger, stronger female bodies.

    1. High-Resource Demand for Reproduction Producing eggs (oviparity) or carrying young (viviparity) requires a massive investment of energy and physical space, far more than the sperm production of males. Females are selected to be large to handle this strain, whereas males do not face this constraint and are often limited to size increases only for fighting.

    2. Reduced Male-Male Competition In many reptile groups, particularly many snakes, males do not fight each other for access to females. In such species, male size is not selected to be massive. If female fecundity (egg count) is more important for survival than male mating aggression, females evolve to be the larger sex.

    3. Resistance to Aggressive Mating In some lizard and snake species, males are highly aggressive and often chase or force females to mate. A larger, stronger female is better equipped to survive these aggressive interactions.

    5)Contrast with Mammals Mammals: Sexual selection is intense, favoring massive males that can fight for access to a harem of females. Pregnancy/nursing is very costly, making smaller females often more efficient for resource management, leading to sexual dimorphism where males are larger. Reptiles: Reproduction is focused on sheer volume of eggs rather than protecting a territory. Because a “big mother is a better mother” (more eggs), selection favors female size. Note: In reptiles with high territorial aggression (like certain Anoles or Crocodilians), males are often larger/stronger, showing that the trend depends entirely on the species’ mating behavior




  • What you said is right , without industrialization there won’t be any rise in economic prosperity, but at the same time

    if you look at present day Spanish colonies , much of the property , farmlands of high real estate value are majorly owned by descendants of white people over present generation of black people or native Americans tribes .

    Another example would be australia, much of the wealthy real estate , farmlands and property are owned by white people , they got this wealth and property from there ancestors. How there ancestors got this were by displacement of aborginal people from fertile , beach side lands

    That means present generation of white people in australia benefit from having high net worth properties , fertile farmlands whereas present day descendants of aborginal people only have dried land and have properties of low real estate value .

    This is one of the Main thing causing disparity in australia, same thing would be applicable for usa where white people own majority of property, wealthy farmland . Also Black people were curbed via Jim crows law which were made by white supremists to curb rise of black traders eventually leads to more economic inequality .
