ORIGINAL SINS

I guess that I just don’t understand the anglo fascination with flowery universalism, any more than I do the german fascination with authority or the jewish with pseudoscience, hindu fascination with the ‘benevolent natural order of things’, or the asian assumption that man is an evil creature and that truth is better left unsaid.

In every culture – we all have our own original intellectual sins.

I’ve spent a little time trying to imagine the world without indo europeans. And the Japanese are the best we have been able to do otherwise.

You now, it’s all well and good that one culture or another invents something first. Its another to say what they do with their inventions.

As far as I can tell it’s the latter that matters.
