CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS
There is a very ‘strange’ optimism and honesty in Indian thought that is the near inverse of Russian Nihilism and half-truth, and the total inverse of Chinese nihilism + outright deceit.
I have been troubled by it for a decade now and am only beginning to understand it.
There are no answers other than the technical.
And the technical is not sentimental.
And there are too few indians in the population who have combined indian optimism and honesty with empirical evidence rather than hopefulness.
That said, I prefer working with Russians. Their nihilism in social matters translates to skepticism in occupational, commercial, and scientific matters. They balance American Optimism(utopianism).
But that said, there is nothing to be learned from the west other than empiricism and natural law and rule of law.
The rest has been suicidal folly.
