<p class="article-text">This text is the last paragraph of “Reflections of a Young Man on The Choice of a Profession”.</p>

<p class="article-text">The author is a 17-year old named “Karl Marx” — for the rest of his life, he would work hard to practice this seemingly “Chuuni” concept. (Translators' note: “Chuuni” [“中二”, or “Middle-school, second year”] is a colloquial Japanese term referring to adolescents with delusions of grandeur, a character trope used frequently in Japanese or Japanese-inspired popular fiction e.g. Fischl in Genshin Impact.) </p>
