4 knobs for you Dan. Those are all virtuous things. You obviously need further education in virtue. You are perhaps confusing virtue with the word prudery. Some easy reading about virtue here: en.wikipedia.org

While those 4 particular things were not around during the VVV [tm] era, the values they represent are part of virtue. I assume you know that fun, music, beauty and individual thinking are parts of a virtuous life.

Dan, if you live in corner of the world, where you are only close to Australia and a few islands, you lose perspective.

To understand today's world and to be able to put the complexities of the modern world into the right perspective, one need to be a cosmopolitan man.

Of course no one can learn all that in his life time but we can learn from each other. There are people here who knows stuff that I cannot even dream about learning. But I have been profiting from their knowledge. For they added to what I learned.

If you take the average Brazilian he is too Brazil centered. Because Brazil is only close to itself and faraway from everybody else.

MQ is too Anglocentric even though he lived in Europe and Canada. Being self-centered is not the best person to impart knowledge to others.
