SRCH:
Thinking… Lacking self knowledge, as a child I satisfied my autistic demand for novelty by reading encyclopedias. Information in the NPOV as such accessible and rational to the young aspie mind. Of course I didn’t have access to the earliest versions you’ve posted at that point. But Britannica was, at least in the 1960s, far better than the rest.
And, having inherited it through those readings, there is still something curious about the English mind in its interpretation of history and I suspect it’s their deviation from germanic into legalism, combined with pride in verbal repartee and their aristocratic hyper-moralism. A moral bias which was a gift to the world through expansion, even if it’s become a somewhat pathetic and desperate attempt to use signaling to preserve the remnants of empire.

Cheers. Thanks for all you do.
