The East is more inductive, while the West is more deductive. - Thorsten Pattberg

Of all the cultures that have disappeared from the world, not a single farewell letter or suicide note has been unearthed.

Sadly, a biblical sense of mission perverts all Western societies. There isn't a town square in Europe without a church. Priests are trained in national universities. The ruling party of Germany is the Christian Democratic Union. America is God's favorite nation. And we all live in the year 2019 of our Lord, Jesus Christ. -- Chinese are not so foolish as to worship at the church of Western values (2015), South China Morning Post, Hong Kong

The cultural and economic penalty for not recognizing East-Asian talent is immense.
