What the hell's going on around here? Doesn't it seem rather odd that upon greeting (or otherwise) we rarely ask questions such as "so, how long have you been here?" or "what do you think?" or " what have you come up with?" Similar to one of the top three college questions, "so, what's your major?" or, "What are you going to be?" "How much will that pay?" "how soon till you get your 'stuff' (i.e. your American culture necessities: cars, houses, vacation properties, satellite tv, big screen, lawn without dandelions, boat, etc. etc.)?" Doesn't it seem that we might ask each other questions about the nature of things, ways of knowing, what our beliefs are and why, what the point of being here is, where we came from, where we're going, what we ought to do in the meantime...all that crap?! If you suddenly found yourself on an otherwise deserted tropical island somewhere, with a relatively small number of other people, wouldn't you ask each other these types of questions? What's the difference, really, between that and your life now? Okay, so you're soaked in money and CDs and video games and TV specials and all that talk about how stupid everyone else is...

What the hell is going on around here?
