I think you're missing the point. An American will see the "impact" of the "US President" "globally" while someone in Nigeria will have completely different concerns for what the Big Thing™ will be, and it will be Nigerian-centric, while someone having this same "itch" in Finland will have something Finnish-centric (say, Russia invading again) as their version and so on and so forth.

And yet, historically, when a Big Thing™ strikes it strikes from an unexpected direction from an unexpected place with unexpected outcomes for the overwhelming majority of humanity.

They also tend to think the Big Event™ will be in their geographical area and will think it's based on their cultural concerns.

Or, alternatively, this is word salad and you're falling for the oldest trick of the book: "it uses loads of big words and I don't understand it so it must be profound".

I know which direction I'm betting on.

In the summer, beer. Ideally an import (unless there's a good microbrewery outlet nearby) because most commercial Chinese beers are terrible. For special events, baijiu. For winter, heated rice liquor.

Uh ... what?

Before my eyes glazed over and I scrolled to the bottom it seems like this is baby's first steps into Buddhism with a side of Daoism as written by someone who understands neither. But as the word salad kept getting tossed and tossed and tossed it just blended together into a word soup.

Is there a coherent description of this concept somewhere, or is word salad all we have?

… that everybody who confuses correlation with causation winds up dying.

This seems to be endemic to billionaires. Robotman forces people to lose to him in a board game. Ketamine Kiddie pays people to play his video games for him so he can seem "elite". What are we going to find out about Bezos next? That he forces people to play poker with him with the card faces turned his way?

Optionally, since the plastic cover is so good at holding things in place, you can get two A3-sized or four A4-sized grid maps which is easier to find and far cheaper than an A2-sized one would be. That way you're only paying the price for a single A2-sized sheet of plastic cover.

Get an A2-sized paper grid map (FAR cheaper than laminated) and then get an A2-size piece of that plastic sheeting they use in cheap restaurants to protect the tablecloth (about 1.5mm thick transparent, soft plastic).

That's what I use (well, mine are bespoke to fit my table) and not only does it give me RPG-related grid map capabilities, it's also good for holding board game boards and displays in place, protecting them from drinks and food stains, while giving a surface that you can write on and that gives good grip for playing pieces.

Anybody on the outside would think I live in the midst of utter chaos. Yet if they ask me where something of mine is, I can unerringly go to it.

So the only answer I can have for your question is either "无" or ☯.
