Entry: Global Hybrids Go Home Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/global_hybrids_go_home#25888 Post contents: Sid and Gene: I'm a free market guy and support the idea of globalization as a process -- and not as a form of religious awakening that will transform reality and our perception of it and create a new cosmopolitan civilization. So I don't buy into the notion that globalization will allow us to overcome religious, ethnic and cultural differences, and I'm not sure why we want that to happen. Creative cosmopolitan types will continue to exist, but they will not be "standardized," in a sense of becoming a recognized type or class. In fact, their social and cultural alienation are source of their creativity. The Jesus analogy was clever. But, Gene, will you welcome a new synergy between Christianity and Islam, for example?
