Through that lens the effects of culture are even more amplified.Steppen Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393768887629510399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749965.post-12830315649165825722007-09-16T11:00:00.000-04:002007-09-16T11:00:00.000-04:00i wonder if people often see themselves as cultura...i wonder if people often see themselves as cultural anthropologists before they see themselves as contemporary humans.<BR/><BR/>its a way of partly existing in and partly distancing oneself from our times.Sean Hennesseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516980915464663011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749965.post-71043867040992563192007-09-14T09:13:00.000-04:002007-09-14T09:13:00.000-04:00Yes, this was a little strange and disturbing.
