it's funny that i incline to have the opposite point of view there's more "void" (空) in Chinese culture. i see such "void" as freedom, i.e. more space to 發揮. western culture/philosophy has so much more to do with logic and reasoning. such way of thinking can lead to the consequence of those poor bees .
nevertheless, i would still agree to your point for degenerate Chinese culture can be doctrinal, though i find western education may bring up active kids who are always ready to express but think too logically.
from the acticle: >>是因為被傳統智慧和邏輯所誤。 i think both sides have been covered in the text ----傳統智慧(tradition are of greater importance in the east) 和邏輯(which had been very overwhelming since Aristotle laid the foundation )
