One other point on education. For the last number of years, I think this is correct, around 50% of all incoming freshmen to UC Berkeley are asian. A percentage far higher than their numbers in the population.

My guess is that the asian culture seems to value eduction more than western cultures. Still trying to figure out the dynamic of that? Maybe Asians rely less on myth and more on philosophy, so once eduction became available they were drawn to it.

Certainly Confucism, Taoism and Buddhism are among the worlds most profound philosophies, which I put beside the ancient Greeks in importance to civilized thought.
