Did you miss Neocon saying "Modernity is Western"?

Of course you can define anything any way you want but that is one of the most odd, parochial, and extreme statements I've ever seen. I am sure, at this very moment, some man in China is saying the VERY same thing, with one alteration, "Modernity is Chinese", and then there's probably someone in Japan saying the same thing, with one alteration of course....

None of them are right, imo. But who knows for sure? SO much goes into "modernity" it's a stew (again, only my opinion), and the ingredients are so mixed I wouldn't want to have to try to recover the basic components. Just tracking down the origins of ONE SINGLE idea is hard enough.
