Why is the West unprepared for China’s rise? : Comments

By Reg Little, published 18/7/2012

The traditions, values and habits of thought that accompany the Platonic legacy in the West will be gradually but increasingly replaced.

It's rather interesting how many Western 'minds' can't get around the fact that the Western 'mind' is a miserable, vain, half-blind thing that is obsessed by its imagined intelligence and imagined achievements.

As the West is left behind in the dustbin of history, it will have centuries to examine where it went wrong and how it came to so badly misjudge the world scene and the cleverness and wisdom of other nations.

The West is an anachronism!

Dear David,

It's rather interesting how many human 'minds' can't get around the fact that the human 'mind' is a miserable, vain, half-blind thing that is obsessed by its imagined intelligence and imagined achievements.

As humans are left behind in the dustbin of history, they will have centuries to examine where it went wrong and how it came to so badly misjudge the world scene and the cleverness and wisdom of other species.

Humanity is an anachronism!

Good questions re the presumed influence of Platonic tradition Yuyutsu.
I was going to ask the same question when I made my comment, but I decided not to.
Reminds me of one of the village idiot George Bush's associates who proclaimed that what used to be called reality was now obsolete, and that consequently he/they were creating/inventing a completely new "reality" as events unfolded.

Yuyutsu, in my comment I singled out the Western mind because it is distinctly different from other minds especially that of Asians.

The Western mind is not Platonic in any way because it is based upon 'Kulture' like Coca Cola, MacDonalds, Terminator movies, Warmongering, and Greed.

David G, the main thing wrong with the western mind is that it has become too kind for it's own good.

Permitting minds like yours appears to be, to live with in it's midst, is probably the greatest mistake the west has made to date.

The corrosion that such rampant hate, that you appear to harbour, would cause, must be bad for any society.

Hee, hee, Hasbeen, that's a laugh.

You run a pretty good line in "rampant hate" yourself, directed at anything you don't approve of....very funny....any very "corrosive".
