re: #294 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
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.
I think the person who this is matters here.
