amazing how brainwashed you are

  Its so easy, waving other opinions to the wind.Completely impossible, that somebody else might be right, in another partial part of the world. Have you ever tried talked to someone from china? Not about them, but with them? Watched how they educate there children? There may be exceptions for the upper echelon, but for the lower tiers, the good old rules of enforcing conservative views and respect for the elders is still applying and valid. This authoritarian attitude creeps into a lot of minds and from their into science, military and finally fiction. Not only in china, but in a lot of other places in the world. There are minds and works who transcend that, i just ordered the three body problem, as it seems one of those. I do not deny the existance of those works. I also dont claim the mindset that confuciusim propagates, to be superior or inferior, it is a adaption to a very long existing one-state organizing hierarchy, through good times and very bad times. I still think this mindset applied to non-reflective science fiction, will always result in rather boring tracts. If that logic makes me brainwashed, then be it.

    A little off topic, but it would help your writing if you understood the difference between "there", "their", and "they're": http://www.wikihow.com/Use-There,-Their-and-They're http://www.wikihow.com/Use-There,-Their-and-They're
