There is something intriguing with minorities. Even the concept itself: often times a minority is actually a majority. It's easy to glue a bunch of stuff together under the minority tag; many occidentals think that arabs are a minortiy, and perhaps they are in whatever occidental country said westener is thinking about it, but there is so much more. There are kurds, persians, Maghrebins (ironically occidentals in arabic) and there is probably more!!!? Lately i have geeked out on music from the middle east.

Stadens vetenhet mot stadens vetenskap.
Vi vet saker men vi vet inte vilka saker andra vet
Vi ger varandra erfarenhet och erfarenheten kommer till oss från alla andra
tillsammans har vi ovisgemenskapen
Tillsmamans vet vart vi ska
Vetenskapen drivas av kärlek för vetenskap
Skepticism definerar kärlekens utsträckning.
Utsträckning vara religion
Religion äro ej vetenskap.
Ingen absolut kunskap är möjlig
Ingen absolut kärlek heller.
