27. Agreed. Jacobi mentions the excellent book of Hofstadter (no relation to Douglas H.)...

we really are pretty philistine, with our sports teams tails wagging our university dogs, with our business schools and our cults of efficiency.

Your experience in Iran sounds like it would be worth sharing with DU. It seems the country hasn't had a break in a while - the hideous Shah, followed by the insane mullahs. From one extreme to the other. It would be interesting to know about the influence of Zoroastrianism on science. BTW - I saw a paper by Iranian authors published, in of all places, Academica Sinica (a Chinese journal). Is there any historical basis to Iranian-Chinese cooperation?

Thanks for adding to the thread.
