reposting - see the author of the quote at the end?

"“[American exceptionalism] is a reaction to the inability of people to understand global complexity or important issues like American energy dependency. Therefore, they search for simplistic sources of comfort and clarity. And the people that they are now selecting to be, so to speak, the spokespersons of their anxieties are, in most cases, stunningly ignorant.” ― Zbigniew Brzezinski

OK, I got the quote, but I did not get the point of bringing him up. I mean his only role was some televised intellectual arguments that always sounded good until you read it.

I remember listening to his stuff when I was in my late teens and early twenties. I think he may have been fodder for the network, just as Conservatives are treated today.

I found a much better intellectual understanding of geopolitics with William F. Buckley.
