Mmm. It`s sad when people are not interested in fostering a dialogue.

As a European myself, I have to acknowledge an important fact: we may have
a great philosophical tradition, but often we are very narrow minded and we
are not very able to connect theory with practice.
The "american way", in this regard, is very much better. Better
communication, better connection between theory and practice, more clarity
in explanations. Many europeans think, often unconsciously, the more
obscure you are, the more profound. They also like idiosyncrasies and the
ego_biased tendecy to the paternity of a theory, rather than its content.
Such an idiocy.
That is the reason why, in my opinion, Lacanian psychoanalysis has many
followers in Europe, much less in America (at least as far as I know).
