CRASSH Impact Lecture Series, Michaelmas Term
Speaker: Professor Michael Puett (Harvard University)
We seem to have a relatively clear (if somewhat uncomfortable) narrative concerning the rise and (potential) decline of neoliberalism. But, if we take into account the perspective of China, such a narrative may have to be re-thought. This talk will place some of the current political debates in China within a larger historical context and argue that these debates may force us to re-think some of our assumptions concerning the workings of the state and the economy and accordingly to re-think some of our readings of recent history. My hope is that the talk will help to contribute to developing a more global understanding of political theory.
Michael Puett is the Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology, as well as the Chair of the Committee on the Study of Religion, at Harvard University. His interests are focused on the inter-relations between philosophy, anthropology, history, and religion, with the hope of bringing the study of China into larger historical and comparative frameworks. His books include To Become a God: Cosmology, Sacrifice, and Self-Divinization in Early China and The Path: A New Way to Think About Everything (co-authored with Christine Gross-Lo).
This lecture is part of the CRASSH Impact Lecture Series.

how to control the population
one is legalism (rules, regulations, enforcement, punishment[public (overt), private, secret, covert], incentive [rewards]);
an other is fear base;
create a pattern that become established and an accepted practice and convention; a pattern that get passed on is called tradition;
According to Michael Puett,
ritual is a prescribed behavior and protocol that is designed for breaking the pattern that we've become used to;
ritual is also the role that we take on to practice a set of behavior and relationship interaction;
and one purpose of the ritual is to break the pattern, not break in the sense of rendering the pattern useless (] once a pattern set in, it is quiet difficult to break by-the-way; by its very definition, a pattern is set in place, making it a pattern; the first awareness, maybe, is that to acknowledge that we are always in some sort of pattern, whether we are going to admit to it or not, and that the pattern is enabling life in some ways (context), and that pattern could be inhibiting (disabling) life in some other ways (different context) [) (] in the language of Fred Rogers, are we affirming life, or, are we demeaning life; are the things that we are doing compatible with life, or, are the things that we are doing, at some stage in the future*, would cease to be compatible with life, in a very abrupt way (non-linear reaction) [), but breaking in the sense of enabling alternative pattern to emerge, or, rather bybreaking disrupting (interrupt, pause for 3 in and out breath count, reflect) the current pattern, we want to enable a different (variation, variety, spectrum of) pattern than the one that is in current practice to emerge [sound like iteration and experimentation does it not?], to enable a different alternative pattern to be possible. And why would we want to do this, because ...

meritocratic meaning based upon merit, not heredity (by birth)
you too can cultivate your self
civil service examination
how you build a meritocratic society
12th century, china has now developed an incredibly effective bureaucratic system
build roads, bridges, cannal
building infrastructure projects
wealthy trade networks
when the bureaucracy has become incredibly dysfunctional
in the east asian past, there have been many attempts as we've seen to build and
at times extraordinarily successful attempts to build meritocratic institutions that were extraordinarily productive of economic growth
and extraordinarily inspiring for human flourishing
forget the terms
forget the categories
and instead start looking at
at a very basic level
what works in terms of human flourishing
how do you inspire human flourishing
how do you develop governmental institutions that
can inspire that and
how do you develop governmental institutions
that can lead to economic flourishing
and if you take all of world history as your example
if you take all of what has happened especially
but there are certainly now many many
many forms of ways of tracing top-tier candidates
and bringing them into government
can you therefore start creating a state being truly
meritocratic that would not be beholden or controlled by
or subservient to moneyed interests
whether they be hereditary elite or
the more recent concern
be they an elite of incredibly
wealthy industries
they are concern with the public good
how to create effective state

how do we train them constantly
to work against whatever dangers they tend to be
falling into and whatever dangers we're actively
creating that we therefore need to actively work
against
more involved in teaching people to think critically
and saying to students
okay, if you want to go to wall street
think big,
because something fundamentally is wrong
something's right but something is wrong is fundamentally wrong
and again, we don't know what it is
but your generation has to figure it out
more explicitly what I mean to say is
the following
I think we have lived in a period
in a period that I suspect is about
to come to a close
in which we've really thought for quite
a while now that we had fundamentally
figured out most of the big problems
and I'll use a strong word here
complacency that has set in
• what if in fact this complacency
has been incredibly dangerous
it's been a period in which we
have failed as human beings
to grapple with some of the fundamental problems
that have been growing in world over the past few
decades
• what if by being so complacent
we've been allowing those problems
to grow and grow and grow
• what if precisely by allowing them to
grow by failing to even realize they were problems
we have been directly responsible
for the fact that many of these problems
have reached a point where it may be honestly difficult
for human beings to be able to deal with them
and
• what if the 2008 crisis was nothing compared
to the crisis that we're going to face
and if my generation has and I fear it has failed
to confront problems
your generation may not frankly have the luxury
to fail as we have
the world may not allow another generation
to miss the boat
it may be up to you to see if this world can be saved
from the ecological and likely political crisis
that it could very well be facing
think big
think critically
focus on training your self to be more engaged in the world
if the future has things that will happen
that are totally unprecedented for us
that actually has precedent in the past
there have been other people
other civilizations who have encountered things
which were totally unprecedented
so although the actual event is on we have
no experience with
we can from history learn something about
how societies, how organizations
school cannot make you into a fortune teller
so you will not be able to know the future
but if you know enough different variations
and precedence
it will allow you to intelligently anticipate
