Humankind
煮豆燃豆萁
豆在釜中泣
本是同根生
相煎何太急

I finally have one thing in common with @elonmusk: we both know how to recite this poem. https://t.co/1XAGvDVVMS

The poem’s mention of beans is rather figurative and meant to be a metaphor. It’s originally composed by the brother of a regional king during the 3 Kingdoms period (a lengthy civil war era) to describe “we’re from the same roots, why is it so hard to get together?”
