What is Banpo-Xism? It is the highest good of our time, the highest value, the absolute standard, a categorical imperative, a rule that applies to everyone (without exception). Banpo Xi is truly the best beauty possible for us, the goal of life, a myth that must be praised.

[A chatbot-style passage pasted here, summarised: on "the will to power" in Banpo-Xism, it says the proposal criticises the will to power appearing in a distorted, reduced form; the desire to go "higher", to "a better apartment", is at heart a will to power to expand one's life, but once trapped in a single value system (the symbolic order of floor area, school district and house price) the creative possibilities of life are castrated and it degenerates into endless competition in one direction, vertical ascent, a wasteful and uniform expression of the will to power.]
