I try to shield myself from the BS that people spread over the last year but sometimes I make the mistake to click on a Twitter trend and find myself in the abyss like today. :-)

Second is that you still living within the mental boundaries of a nation which you think you represent instead of realizing that the world is growing together. It's a diffusion process which can't be stopped. You know like thermal diffusion... science you know.

alas, globalisation is a political process, not a scientific one. in fact we are suddenly very far from the Science where we began, which is always how these conversations with adherents of Science go.

"Globalisation" is a physical process. Ethnical groups started mixing a couple thousand years ago and this process in ongoing. It can be accelerated by wars and displacement or hindered by politics. You really have a limited understanding of the bigger pricture.

And it is always funny when guys like you suddenly turn into the quiet moderator role turning a dialog into a monologe thus clipping proper communication altogether.

I stopped commenting, because I find your replies extremely revealing of a specific strain of what I would call Zombie Progressivism. Indeed your total naivité, your readiness to assume ignorance, your delight in condescension: All of these make you uniquely informative.

You have all the typical symptoms: You regard Science as a source of para-religious authority (and so science-denying religion must be done away with: out with the old gods, in with the new), indeed you believe globalisation is unfolding according to scientific laws.

Or lets put it this way. Science creates structure which reduces the leeway for parascientific BS. I know that it is cocky to talk about intelligence and the lack of such. But truth is that it is pretty hard to graduate and even harder to make a real impact via a dissertation.

No my topic wasn't really novel and certainly not one of the "sexy" ones at the time. I never managed to reach the intellectual level to come up with something new.

My dissertation changed prevailing opinion in a small but important area of research.
