What disgusts Americans most is that Rubio completely understands that Trump is profoundly demented, both mentally and morally.

He’s hoping that the United States remains as ignorant and hateful as it is now for a few more years, so that he can become president.

Absolutely revolting.

Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, wanted his masterpiece to serve as a philosophic direction for humankind, teaching intellectual curiosity, tolerance, and compassion.

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico‑Philosophicus

I often think about this. It does seem plausible that people who speak and read different languages experience their lives in ways that may be materially different than I do my own. This seems to imply that our conversance with our language affects the way we think.

But I wonder if this is simply a frailty of the Western world. Do those who achieved Zen Buddhist enlightenment mentally pronounce each word of their thoughts, like I do my own? I doubt it.

I used to know a polyglot who told me that when she travelled, it would take her a couple of days before she started to dream in the local language. That’s food for thought, isn’t it?

I can’t swear that the data at left is accurate, but it certainly rings true based on the considerable number of Europeans I meet each month. They tend to disapprove of lawlessness, stupidity, and wars that are unnecessary and illegal.
