ADDENDUM

It occurs to me that I ought to have appended Genesis Chapter 11 to the previous post:

1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach.
2And it came to passe as they iourneyed from the East, that they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3And they sayd one to another; Goe to, let vs make bricke, and burne them thorowly. And they had bricke for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4And they said; Goe to, let vs build vs a city and a tower, whose top may reach vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest we be scattered abroad vpon the face of the whole earth.
5And the LORD came downe to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6And the LORD said; Behold, the people is one, and they haue all one language: and this they begin to doe: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they haue imagined to doe.
7Goe to, let vs go downe, and there cōfound their language, that they may not vnderstand one anothers speech.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence, vpon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the Citie.
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad vpon the face of all the earth.

    Dear Prof. Wolff,

    I apologize for bringing this matter to your and your readers' attention.

    The link below is to a post by Greek-Australian economics professor Yanis Varoufakis.

    I'd like people of good will all over the world to bear witness on the tragic developments in Europe.

    I hope I am mistaken and one day we may all laugh at my alarmism; but one day people like you may be called as witnesses.

    If that day ever comes, you will be able to say that it's false that nobody saw it coming. That the tragedy could have been averted. That the path to disaster was deliberately chosen by some, for their own reasons.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Lest we forget: The neglected roots of Europe’s slide to authoritarianism.
