Hermann Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game" - analysis part 1 - Ron Dart

So I read THE GLASS BEAD GAME by Herman Hesse when I was young,, I think I still have my original copy. amazing how nothing is new under the sun. This amazing classic is rediscovered.. excellent analysis,, I think I will dust off my copy and re read it.. THIS IS EXACTLY what is going on,, there is no synthesis of knowledge .. because of the dilettantes and one dimensional analysis.. like he said GOSSIP.. and the demand for entertainment.
