I don't debate this Ahmet. But there seems to be a chicken and egg issue when it comes to demand for ideas. Not always, but sometimes, supply of ideas may create its own demand, especially if it is of high quality and hence influence the general political and cultural mood, however small its influence may be. In any event, not only I am too young to know what went on in the sixties and seventies in the US but also I am an outsider. So I stop here. Best, Sabri
