"What then is the true problem with Europe? Why don't the European nations unite and become 'one'? I will argue that in the past 2,500 years of its history, there has never been the concept of 'oneness' or 'harmoniousness' in the European collective mind."

Pattberg at Imam Mosque at Naghsh-i Jahan Square in Isfahan
My Iran Talks come to an end. Last day with Ahmadreza Doostdar from CISSC to Isfahan. Here I am sitting in the front court of the gargantuan Imam Mosque at Naghsh-i Jahan Square in the early foggy morning hours of Dec 06, 2012. Altogether we visited 5 great cultural centers of Persian/Iranian heritage. Magnificent.
Thorsten Pattberg: What is Language Imperialism and How Cultures should compete for their Terminologies; Interview on Corbett Report by James Corbett.
TOKYO/BEIJING - In this exclusive interview we will talk about: Shengren, Wenming, Junzi, Daxue, Emperors, Deutungshoheit, and many more foreign concepts and terminology, and how translation of a foreign culture is the destruction of that culture.
I argue that academic imperialism is wide-spread and that the majority of Western scholars deliberately employ Western biblical and philosophical terminologies for original Eastern concepts, thus making the latter unrecognizable, distorting those countries' socio-cultural originality: China, in Western history books, becomes a China without Chinese and so on.
