[America] is an experimentalist country. It’s a country the central creed of which is faith in the constructive genius of ordinary men and women. This faith has lived under the burden of an institutional idolatry. The sin of the public culture of the United States is the tendency to believe that the country discovered at the time of its foundation the definitive formula of a free society, and that the rest of humanity must either subscribe to this formula or continue to languish in poverty and despotism.

Having my mind blown thanks to this video posted by my friend D.A. earlier today… which you can tell isn’t from American television corporations because the host used the word ameliorate during his introduction. :)
