What is starkly revealed is how deluded and terrified most parts of American society are re the bio-social facts of life & also what a venal and corrupting underbelly the typical mega university has.

I have read plenty of books in German that are not available in English, but they were not mass market type books. A really popular book would be translated so the company could make money, unless of course, there is some reason not to. Maybe this is one of those cases. More likely it seems that the publisher doubts it will have enough appeal. I sure can't know. However, since English is very popular as a second language among educated people, obviously publishers would get the most bang for their translation buck by having an English edition.silly girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-69159857863821974692009-06-25T07:01:05.724-07:002009-06-25T07:01:05.724-07:00"But from your above-avg. interest in the mat..."But from your above-avg. interest in the matter and your lame attempts to discredit it, I think you know much more than you are letting on."<br /><br />silly boy,<br /><br />Uh, I don't know anything about it so I have no opinion. Why do you think I am trying to discredit it? I simply said the book is kind of expensive and then reported the reviews at amazon.

They easily may not represent the general opinion of the book, and I can't have my own opinion because I haven't read it.silly girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-56065980779181201142009-06-25T00:10:12.510-07:002009-06-25T00:10:12.510-07:00silly girl said...

It doesn't matter what you say, but how you say it -- that is, emphasizing which ideological orientation. Just check out that confused fool Adam Curtis's "Century of the Self" documentary. It doesn't get more confused, obscurantist, vile and ideologically obsessive than that, and yet he won awards for "best documentary," because he's superb at activating the masses' default processing mode -- which is what I call "resonant thinking." It's like the stuff on $PLC: pick any piece, and all there is in it is pretty much like "blah blah blah racist blah blah blah hate group/nativist blah blah blah anti-immigrant blah blah blah homophobic blah blah blah conservative (yes, that's a smear word for them) blah blah blah..." well, you get the picture. All you need is throw in the right phrases, and those who do their thinking "resonantly" rather than analytically will buy it, since it resonates with their amigdala.<br /><br /><br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-24365021327628544712009-06-24T13:16:03.620-07:002009-06-24T13:16:03.620-07:00Backward Anonymous,
