= Ciro Santilli's sinophily
{tag=Ciro Santilli's psychology}
Two things come to mind when <Ciro Santilli> thinks about his sinohpilia.
There is a strong "<Ciro Santilli's knowledge hoarding>" side to it. Ciro has decided that he has to know EVERYTHING about <China>. It's culture. It's people. It's art. And so once that has been decided, it becomes inevitable.
But of course, there is also the "which part of Ciro's inner being led to that hoarding decision" part of things. <quote mishima every night>[Mishima's quote] often comes to mind:
> Every night I return to my desk precisely at midnight. I thoroughly analyze why I am attracted to a particular theme. I drag it into my conscious mind. I boil it into abstraction.
<Exoticism> is undoubtedly part of it.
Maybe it has something to do with growing up observing 5th+ generation <Japanese Brazilians> immigrants, well, being <Asian meme>[Asians] and crushing it academically. But also being quiet people, and sometimes misfits. I.e., nerds.
Maybe there is also someting to do with the influence Japanese anime, <Children cartoons Ciro Santilli liked to watch>[highly popular during Ciro's hildhood in Brazil]. Ciro, unlike many of his friends, left that relatively early, as he got into the deeper pleasures of <natural sciences> and then more traditional Asian culture. But still.
And finally perhaps the <correlation between sofware engineers and Asian fetish> and <the correlation between software engineers and Buddhism>.
