Comment: << review queue entry 39505 - submitted by 'ycandau' >>
I know this is copied from some dict, and has totally obliterated the main
modern meaning, which is "personnel":
人事经理

I doubt very much
- consciousness of the world; 人事不知 "having lost interest in the
proceedings" (humorously in E)
- sexual awareness; 小孩子不懂人事 "little kids don't understand *things*"
- what is humanly possible; 尽人事 the only expression

Editor: "consciousness of the world" is not part of the definition in that "known source" (see discussion)
(presumably it was K's own idea) ... and that dict had 尽人事 as an example to illustrate the "what is humanly
possible" sense
Diff:
- 人事 人事 [ren2 shi4] /human affairs/ways of the world/consciousness of the world/what is humanly possible/personnel matters/sexual awareness/sexual passion/facts of life/
+ 人事 人事 [ren2 shi4] /personnel/human resources/human affairs/ways of the world/(euphemism) sexuality/the facts of life/
