Are the Arabs already extinct?

Spengler’s latest shared thoughts from the Asia Times (a must read for the Chief).

“We [Arabs] have become extinct,” said Syrian poet Adonis in a March 11 Dubai television interview transcribed by the Israeli media monitor MEMRI, [1] but ignored by the mainstream Western media. The prognosis by Adonis, the only Arabic writer on the Nobel Prize short list, for the Arab prospect has become more bleak over the years, and his latest pronouncement has a Spenglerian finality.

DISCLAIMER: This is a SYRIAN poet that’s proclaiming the cultural extinction of the Arabs.

“We have become extinct … We have the masses of people, but a people becomes extinct when it no longer has a creative capacity, and the capacity to change its world … The great Sumerians became extinct, the great Greeks became extinct, and the Pharaohs became extinct,” he said.

The Chief concurs.

Like most of Spengler’s stuff, and there’s more… well worth reading and pondering.
