[lbo-talk] Have a happy and merry December 25

[Charles Brown]

Thanks for your annual reminder, Jim Farmelant. The standing on the
shoulders of giants quote is one of my favorites. I consider it is a
clever encapsulation of the concept of culture in cultural
anthropology. Humans' signal characteristic is that dead generations
communicate majorly with living generations through culture and
language. Our living generations stand on the shoulder of giant dead
generations.
