When you try to hold up Western culture as superior you are by extension saying that other cultures are inferior. This is what leads to notions of "sub-humans" and helps to justify practises such as slavery and genocide. I think it is far more honest to say different cultures and races are the result of different conditions and varying geographic,environmental and historical advantages and disadvantages. While there are many examples of how current Western ideals and practises are in fact "better" than others it has not always been this way and it is not guaranteed to continue to be so in the future.

I think the civilization race is over and people just want to live well. We are at the destination, the ideas are fine we just have to improve the human resource and be consistent. Other cultures are worse the same way certain corporate cultures are better than others. We don't assume that people working in Company B with an inferior work culture are subhuman. Of course it was not always this way but people live in the here and now.

IMO, corporate culture itself is subhuman.

Compared to what?

Compared to human dignity, expectations of honor and behavior - really, all standards of human decency.

And those manifest themselves much better where?

In the small- or family-business environment. An endangered species now.

If you say so. I think any large human organizations tend toward incompetence, corruption, and subhuman behavior. Use your preferred definition for that, but it's real.

[Montegriffo]

Larger organisations and civilisations do sometimes have advantages in terms of innovation and efficiency in keeping costs down until they reach levels where monopolies and corruption come into play.

What's the eastwood movie that ends with him in the car with the dead young boy driving away? I can't remember.

I really need to know. I can't find it online.

Easy One.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

The Kid was Jeff Bridges





You lose 5 Clint Eastwood bucks for not knowing that.

Thanks. My bus used to drop me off at home right when a movie was ending, and afternoon cartoons were about to start. That final scene is all I've ever seen of that one.

It's a pretty good movie. I think the whole thing is on YouTube. Has George Kennedy in it, it's about a bank heist.
