There is a type pf intellectual thought. A type all but nonexistent in America, a type of empathic intelligence. I've listened to truly intelligent people here, though rare, they do exist here. None of them ever talk of peace, of others. They debate highly controversial topics, but only to the english speaking world. It amazes me that such well rounded people could have such a gaping hole in their intelligence. Some of the smartest, while discussing our broken educational system, say that language classes are largely unneeded. In my mind, the only way we can get to world peace is language. Google translate is not going to ever conduct a trans-lingual conversation on philosophy. America has tremendous problems with the middle east, do any of us speak arabic? No. Very, very few. I think this fact is keeping us against them. Who does the translating for us? The incredibly trustworthy News... Whose very job is to cause trouble for the excitement and views.
