Though that reeked of new age BS it was a good look at a sociological mixing of an old culture with a new genre.
Did you know that Frank Zappa made frequent visits to Yugoslavia to promote capitalist self-help projects before he became terminally ill? You won't hear about it because the media elite declared him persona non grata after his "Jewish Princess" song.

I dunno, NewRome Tactitus. My take on this is we're talking "old age," not "new age" here.

I don't think we're talking about a "sociological mixing of an old culture with a new genre," at least not as the first order of business. What I thought I was looking at was a cultural means of rescustitating Hungarian national identity after some 40-some years of communist repression of human intellect, psychology and spirit.

But I guess it all depends on what one sees, how one sees it, and how one frames the problem arising from the hypothetical description of what one has seen, and tried to frame into a common language that conveys meaning.

At the end of the day, it seems to me that, only according to God's law (natural and moral) can questions of this order make any sense at all, in the first place.

This essay provides numerous challenges to "conventional thinking" about quite critical subjects, subjects relevant to our own American "culture war." IMHO. And so I am so grateful to you for writing, NRT. Thank you!
