[Fis] Inviting Discord

[Csáji László Koppány]

Dear Paul,
Believe me, I am trying to understand your anarcho-revolutionist attitude
before answering you in detail. I am from a country that was always (in
more than a millennium) "in-between" cultural and political worlds. It was
never a colonialist but was partly colonized, although it is part of the
so-called
"Western" countris - if you mean it regarding to the EU and USA, Canada,
etc.?
But what is Western? Argentina or Taiwan is Western or not? And Australia?
Isn't it a supposed conglomerate you cannot catch actually? Where is its
borders? Similar query is for "academia" - isn't it just a colleagial
discourse
with some logical argumentation? Aren't we in a little bit similar
situation as
Augustinus was many centuries ago with "time": if you don't ask, I know
what
it is - if you ask, I don't know.
Best regards,
                         Laszlo
