I read this today…

I don’t know quite what to think about it. Discuss.

“The time threatens when all the world will speak two or three great
languages, when all little tongues will be extinct and all little peoples
swallowed up, when all costume will be reduced to a dead level of blue
jeans and shoddy and all strange customs abolished. The world will be a
much less interesting world then; the spice and savour of the end of the
earth will be gone. Nor does it always appear unquestionable that the world
will be the better or the happier. The advance of civilization would be a
great thing to work for if we were quite sure what we meant by it and what
its goal is.” –Hudson Stuck, “10,000 Miles With A Dog Sled”, 1914.
