  Sep 21, 202615 min

  Aug 6, 202615 min

  Confucius never said 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'—and that's just the beginning. We trace how a 5th-century BC Chinese philosopher became the go-to name for any vaguely Asian-sounding wisdom, from fortune cookies to LinkedIn profiles. The real story involves mistranslations, a 1960s novelty industry, and why we're so eager to slap his name on sayings he'd probably find baffling.
