    My apologies for the delayed response.* I was spending time in downtown Los Angeles at the crypto.com center and going site seeing.



    What's the motivation behind the Guinness Book of World Records?


    I will start with an IRL event that happened almost ten years ago.* I still remember walking off the Harvard T-station and into Harvard square, passed the student center construction to the Qdoba shop.* I was starving and was going to use my Harvard ID with crimson dollars to get food.* It was the first time I had seen President Xi in person and his daughter.* The Chinese president was at Harvard University to see his daughter graduate in Psychology and we were all in line at Qdoba to get food.


    So, all of a sudden, an Qdoba employee yelled in a typical bostonian demeanor* "Get to the back of the line!" I cringed when I realized what just happened.* This is the Chinese President of a superpower.* President Xi the official leader of BILLIONS of people, commands a military of hypersonic missiles that can carry nuclear warheads, and has rumored secret Chinese police stations worldwide (i.e. just like the CIA stations) was just treated like a commoner and humiliated in front of his daughter.


    I still remember President Xi firmly grabbing another guy by his arm whom was lunging forward.* I had assumed this was his guard from the Ministry of State Security and whispered something while pointing to his daughter, and they all quietly walked to the back of the line.


    They always say hindsight is 20/20 and all of us were shocked at the time witnessing a powerful world leader treated like that at Harvard University.* Like everyone else, we were paralyzed to take action.


    I had wished I had done something like, "hello sir.* You know what….. I'm not hungry anymore.* Do u wish for u and your daughter to take my spot? I'm running late anyway and need to hop back on the T."**


    But I didn't and now here we are almost ten years later and reading all these verified articles on Xinhua of western biases….that I can verify are absolutely true because I have seen it myself personally…..

    Uh, what's going on? Is this still about Guinness world records somehow?

    I feel like I just walked into the ending of MGS2.
