we in the west collected all our outdated english books and sent them to asia, africa, and the middle east . people in those countries , specially the muslims think that this outdated knowledge is accurate, and think that we in the west are wrong.
I remember samuel Beckett once wrote that 'there is no greater evil than an outdated book'
is he right?

the biggest mistake the West ever made was in not respecting and learning from different Cultures, Societies. by not treating them with respect and dignity we lost the knowledge and wisdom these differing Cultures and Societies had gathered over the years. we should have given the same respect as we wanted for our own Culture and Society.

The biggest mistake was not invading the USSR after WW2.
