The lack of openess would be my guess due to a number of modern screw- ups. (See: "The Closing of the American Mind" by Allan Bloom) In the USA we have nearly three generations from the "60's who are mostly dysfunctional due to the breakdown of society. Perhaps it is an historical curse which wouldn't be the first time this has happened to an empire. There really is no substitute for an excellent liberal education (liberal devoid of any political meaning, in this sense) no matter what later field one intends to enter. Unfortunately, the habits of the West acquired after WWII turned strange and sad. I apologize for the mess in prayer but have yet to receive a reply! Or further instructions!
