Tao Stoic 142

"The other day (19890415) Master, while relaxing and contemplating in the sun along the Maas/Waal canal, I came to speak with a young student from Senegal. It so happened that we spoke in the World-Language, so the Dutchman and the Senegalese, could converse freely about everything of interest."

"Why do you tell me this Ling?"

"Because this boy wanted to study medicine and tropical medicine, but, as yet, he could not start. He first has to waste a year or so learning Dutch, the Boer language. I told him that in my view, all universities on Earth should be forced to give all their lectures in English. It would save him a year."

"Indeed, this is the normal stupidity of the Dutch, Belgian, German, French etc. etc. so-called science. A tavernal science. How necessary it is to have a sane World-Government! I mean, one without interpreters or translators."
