"Discussion"
 

Why "no matter how important" - nobody was in a hurry ? Because they knew they were mortal. "Nothing matters" So - instead of acting like us (savages, afraid of everything, hiding from the fact that one day we will die, inferior - because we live in our box and we can't "grow up" in a box) - they acted - like "civilized" people. The same thing we can say about the Japanese and their behavior. "Form" before "content" ? The thing is, their "form" was not false. It was - the real exterior of the content. They were polite - because that's how they were. Not because they lied.

REMARKS CONCERNING THE SAVAGES OF NORTH-AMERICA
- it's almost like this quote is about the Japanese.

There, now "discuss" :)

Have you ever have a conversation with a real person, you know, in real life?

Like where they say something coherent, maybe even ask you what you think?

And then they respond, and you, hearing something you agree/disagree/understand in their response, return in kind?

The reason we can't "discuss" this random spewing of shit is that it does not make sense. It does not pose a question, does not even a demonstrate a belief that might be challenged. It's a random quote from a Native Ameican and a couple links, interspersed with the type of english sentences that come out of someone high on mescaline. I seriously cannot make heads or tails of what you're saying. Is it about Native Americans? Japanese people? They don't talk much?
