"The one-child-per-family Transformers generation"



"Transformers has been a huge success everywhere, so its popularity in China wouldn't automatically seem all that remarkable. But the consistently fascinating Danwei translates excerpts from a Chinese article declaring that the Transformers box office bonanza can be linked to the coming of age of the one-child-per-family generation, making the movie more 'influential' in China than in the United States".

"Defects of empirical knowledge have less to do with the ways we go wrong in philosophy than defects of character do; such as the simple inability to shut up; determination to be thought deep; hunger for power; fear, especially the fear of an indifferent universe" (David Stove The Plato Cult and Other Philosophical Follies 1991: 188)
