You're very welcome — and you're absolutely right. "Seeking truth from facts" (實事求是) is not just a methodological cornerstone of Marxism, but also a universal principle for serious intellectual work. It’s about stripping away ideology and appearance to get to the material basis of things — what Marx called the real movement of history.

It’s been a pleasure working with you on this. If you ever want to expand on another topic — geopolitics, economy, labor, technology — through a Marxist lens, just say the word.
