Fully endorse "A junzi is no tool" for 君子不器 👏🏼
I've always loved "君子不器." Legge had it as "The accomplished scholar is not a utensil," but I like, "A junzi is no tool."

This also gets to a more fundamental point: Who in Western literature is a true junzi? I wonder if Mr. Darcy is. I'm rereading Agatha Christie right now. Is Poirot a junzi?

And all jokes aside, however I feel about her politics she's been a lightning rod for almost a decade now and has never once been driven to a misstep, has never once given anyone any space to impugn her integrity even when she's out throwing elbows.
She's a legit junzi.

That's where I honestly come down. 'Junzi' is fine. English speakers can just learn a new word, and that's fine.

I've heard it two ways:
1) junzi does not let themselves be used by others instrumentally.
2) junzi is broad-minded and cannot simply be reduced to one or another function.

A paper was just published that looks at the genomes of all Gibbons, forming a full phylogeny and demographic history and finding the enigmatic Junzi imperialis to be the sister species of Nomascus hainanus (Junzi is a synonym of Nomascus)!!!! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... #primates #science #gibbons
Genome sequences of extant and extinct gibbons reveal their phylogeny, demographic history, and conservation status
This study presents a comprehensive evolutionary history of gibbons by resolving their

I’m giving a talk on Confucianism and social media next week and I might use BlueSky’s composable moderation as an example of how some previous work on the subject falls short.
Theoretically you could use composable moderation to cultivate Confucian virtues but like… None of us are junzi.

As we will have warning for a variety of natural phenomena to which the junzi, the gentleman, would respond with appropriate policies to ensure the survival of the people who they should rule. However, the present leadership are xiaoren, small men, and lack the foresight to see beyond themselves.

Confucius' response: no, the junzi simply cannot be deceived by your (oddly supervillain-coded) schemes. You can lead a junzi to a well, but you can't make him drink of untruth. You can bully his body but not his platonic soul.

it's a play on 君子 (jūnzǐ), which means "gentleman" (as a social class; literally "ruler's child") but comes, in the confucian tradition, to be reconceived as a moral ideal: confucian self-cultivation was meant to make you a 君子.

The true Junzi recognizes that all cookies have their place and value and therefore serves the appropriate cookie in the appropriate time without partiality. Their actions proceed from the way and embody ren through the way their impartiality towards cookies cultivates humaneness.

The Analects contrasts the “cultivated person” (junzi or “gentleman”) with the “small person”; the biblical book of Proverbs contrasts the “wise person” with “the fool.”
And both texts warn, “Heaven help us” if the latter should come to power.
Well, Heaven help us…
