Though I am not an academic. Your interpretation renders my
statement into a tautology, clearly not my intention by its utterance.
The "anti-intellectualist" mindset presents a contradiction in terms.
Only intellectuals could identify what "intellectualism" is, in order
to identify and render its opposite. The anti-intellectualist people

"How is cognition helping academia,
and how is academia of benefit to a society which ignores its
own wise elders?"
You have mistaken academia for "wise elders". A common error, amongst
academics.

[Zenophobia vs. Xenophobia]
I must add that neither of these should be confused with a fear
of TV's well-endowed, metal-brassiered historical-fantasy warrior
princess, or "Xenaphobia".

I've been seeing only half of this conversation, but here's
a tangential contribution that I'm hopeful will edify.

lone entry in my Usenet newsreading software's "killfile".
And, yes, I do rather enjoy rubbing his nose in it.]
You were close. As written, however, "zenophobia" appears to

If you find nothing curious could you take another look, perhaps?
Would you suggest that historians study only non-judgmental history?
If not, who is going to review written accounts of judgmental history?
Were you saying something about your ancestors who fought
in the Great Wars? How about the history of the particular country

I'm not Japanese.
I do believe that Japanese activities for the past 100 years should be

I'm sure history can be written 'non-judgementally'.
As for nationalism per se, it's just tribalism and zenophobia (hope I

reasons are obvious, yet the managed media fails to
conduct the research and present more of the findings:
sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in foods,
monosodium glutamate, other additives, pesticides,
high energy violence and oversophistication in kid's

Curious. Do you find something "anti-Japan" about facts
from history? Why? I thought that the "balloon bombs" were
especially clever, though difficult to control in terms of how
they are landed. There are many counterexamples to the
prejudiced assumption that the Japanese are uninventive.
