Move over, TikTok gurus—Gen Z is turning to Aristotle and Confucius for life advice! 🧠 At the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations in Qufu, China (Confucius’s hometown, BTW!), scholars like Aristotle expert Demetra Sfendoni-Mentzou highlighted how ancient thinkers are #trending in today’s fast-paced world.
\"Their ideas on ethics, leadership, and community feel *made* for our era of AI and climate debates,\" Sfendoni-Mentzou told CGTN. She called Aristotle and Confucius the OG influencers, bridging East-West divides with wisdom that’s survived 2,500 years of drama. 💡
Why now? From boardrooms to TikTok, people crave frameworks to navigate tech-driven chaos. Confucius’s emphasis on harmony and Aristotle’s logic-driven ethics are getting shoutouts in ESG strategies and mental health chats alike. 🌱
Bonus: The forum itself was a collab fest, blending Chinese and global scholars—proof that old-school dialogue still slays in solving modern problems. 🤝
TL;DR: Ancient philosophy = the ultimate life hack. 🛠️✨
