Clarification of Names

You may have noticed that the author of this post is "Chaojidage" or "Chaoji Dage", or even just "Chaoji". In the simplest sense, Chaojidage is equivalent to the writer of this blog, who goes by the name "Triston Zhang" currently. Please do not confuse these two names, as they are simply the names of two accounts used by one human being.

If you really want to know the details of this issue, you may continue reading. The reason I wrote "human being" in italics in the previous paragraph is because the two names, in fact, represent different persons, although these two persons share a physical body. Triston Zhang is the legal name of the writer, and was assigned by the writer's parents, who assumed that the name would be used in all circumstances and would label one individual male human being. (This is not true!) However, as I grew up, I naturally developed dissociative identities. One alter ego is Chaojidage, whose name means "super big-brother". Although I am not writing this as Chaojidage, I am using his account. Why would I use someone else's account to publish something, though? It is because of the nature of this blog. When Mrs. Wilkinson assigned this project, she instructed the class to use an account provided by Plano Independent School District (PISD). Since I did not know whether the district would delete student accounts after they graduate, I decided to promote Chaojidage's account to the position of an administrator, which is the type of account that I, as Triston Zhang, use to write these posts. This way, when I graduate and leave PISD, I will not worry about the district deleting my account and possibly this blog, to which I have assigned great value.

To further clarify the identity of Chaojidage, I shall explain in more detail. When I was ten years old, I founded a country, now known as Liubishuhuland. You may think that Liubishuhuland is not a real country, but by definition, it is as real as any other "real country" that you can name. Not only does Liubishuhuland's government administration function without being challenged by other countries, there exists a supranational organization, namely the Unofficial Confederate Nations (UCN), that is composed of seven mutually-recognizing nations. In addition, our states have defined area, stable governments, permanent population, and the ability to engage in foreign affairs. These four standards were set by the 1991 Montevideo Convention, and as long as an entity can continuously pass these requirements, it is considered a true state. The supranational organization of these states is called the Unofficial Confederate Nations, but the unofficiality of it does not make it unreal, for there is a difference between officiality and reality. I have published an article about this, which I will post later on this blog.

The flags of the UCN, its member states, and Liubishuhuland's provinces are displayed on my home's mantel shelf.

Anyway, the head of the Liubishuhulandian government is the position of Chaojidage. This word, "Chaojidage", coincides with the name of my main alter ego. This may be confusing, but it makes perfect sense. Chaojidage, the alter ego with that name, became the leader of Liubishuhuland, and became so famous that Liubishuhulandians named his position (i.e. his job) after his own name. For instance, you call the president of the United States of America "President Obama" just as you would call the current Chaojidage of Liubishuhuland "Chaojidage Chaojidage". However, this is rather redundant, so Liubishuhulandians call him "Chaojidage", which is both his name and his position. It's also like the immature teenage practice of naming "ships". (If you don't know what this is, search it!) For example, a "ship" name of Amanda and Andrew may be "Amandrew". Essentially, it's just combining two words. With "Chaojidage Chaojidage", you can also combine the two words very well, since they are the same. Therefore, "Chaojidage Chaojidage" becomes "Chaojidage". I, Triston Zhang, am running for Chaojidage of Liubishuhuland, and if I take the position eventually, I will logically (i.e. based on your knowledge) be called Chaojidage Triston Zhang. However, we cannot base anything on your knowledge, as you are just now learning that the naming system in Liubishuhuland is different from that of the Outside World. (The Outside World is the social and political network outside the UCN.) When you become a Liubishuhulandian Citizen or Resident, you may choose to adopt a name that is different from what you have been using in the Outside World. My (i.e. Triston's) legal name in Liubishuhuland is "Dingdang", so I would be called Chaojidage Dingdang.

This clarification has been relatively simple, although I have fed you with much information already. Note that amount of information is not equivalent to complexity of information. The information in this blog post hereafter shall be more complex.

The account "Chaoji Dage" is not the same as the position Chaojidage, the name "Chaojidage", the name "Dingdang", or the name "Triston". This account was originally intended for use by the Chaojidage (i.e. the position) of Liubishuhuland, but since Chaojidage (the alter ego) shares the same body as Triston (Dingdang), I have access to this account, and must take advantage of this to escape the possible account deletions of PISD,

In summary, "Chaojidage" is a name and the name of a job position, which is currently occupied by a person of the same name, who is the main alter ego of Dingdang, who was born as Triston Zhang and presently goes by "Triston Zhang" in the Outside World. This account is accessible by Triston Zhang and the Chaojidage of Liubishuhuland.

I have given you much information about specific names, persons, and job positions, and through this clarification, you have learned about the definition of a state, the difference between amount and complexity, and various other ideas, many of which you can apply in your life. I genuinely hope that you have been inspired by the information I provide to you, and that you will use this inspiration to transform into a new person.
