You know, I talk to Dr Brad every day. And he always has some idea that our work has inspired him to investigate. And then we talk about it, and he inspires me to investigate it. And then I do, and I don’t get my regular work done for the next few hours. ;). Yet I wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to work on his ideas.

Today we covered the differences in english, german, and russian literature, as reflections of their group strategies. And it was fascinating. I mean, I understand english and russian literature. But I didn’t really understand the german sort of ‘lack’ of it by comparison. So we went down that rathole.

I love what I do because I love what we as a team do. 😉

And in a world where the events are fascinating but the experience of living through them, is stressful, and our anticipation of the world we might have to live through as a consequence, is potentially terrifying, having something to work on that you love and is rewarding is a theraputic means of tolerating the chaos of the reorganization of the world we’re living through.

There were so many complaints around the world about the Pax Americana and the Postwar Order created by the USA in response to the world wars. A very ‘english’ solution to creating peace through trade.

The world will shudder from the lament of that passing order since they will all be poorer and less certain because of it. The fall of the Anglo order will mirror the fall of the Roman order in consequence.

Why? Humans are self interested and always complain. As the greeks said man seeks luxuries – stimulations. The world always looks the European civilization’s Gift Horse in the Mouth. Whether Greek, Roman, West-european, British, or Anglo-American.

Maybe europeans will unwind christianity enough to learn finally that the rest of the world asie from the very few like the Japanese and Koreans are unworthy because they are unable.

I didn’t mean to end up here when I started this post but it was the logical conclusion. 🙁
