re: #287 Scottish Dragon
Was up early this morning for a flight and during liftoff had no internet access. Which meant I listened to Bach on my phone and watched videos of my kids. I thank God I live in this time and place. Thank God for modernity, for Western civilization, and for America.
I find nothing particularly offensive in that post. There are a lot of things I find to be thankful for about Western Civilization: Bach’s music and a tradition of personal freedoms being among them.
But I am not exceptionalist enough to believe that Western Civilization has given us only good things or that other non-Western Civilizations have contributed nothing of value to humankind.
