“The culture and educational system of the contemporary West are based almost exclusively upon the training of the reasoning brain and, to a lesser degree, of the aesthetic emotions. Most of us have forgotten that we are not only brain and will, senses and feelings; we are also spirit.

“I find it interesting to see people - mostly people who are younger than I am - going to considerable trouble to try to reproduce things from an era that was far more physical, from a less virtual day.

It's become incredibly difficult. In North America, we've largely forgotten how to do it.” PeopleTryingSeemsAmericaCultureDifficultInterestingTroubleForgottenErasAdmirationInnateSymbolicNorth AmericaStubbornness Author:William Gibson
