- "::: It allows us, for one thing, to engage in a bit of what I consider… if you wanted to sum up the wisdom of the east, you know, Oriental wisdom in just one sentence, it might be something like “Don’t sweat the small stuff”. I mean, there was a real well known Buddhist who told me “I can sum up the dao and the gita; all of that for you quickly… It’s this: Don’t sweat the small stuff. You westerners, you spend all your time sweating the small stuff…” :::" - https://rickroderick.org/302-heidegger-and-the-rejection-of-humanism-1993/
Westerners
- Islam: Prayer time exactly correct with moon. Small stuff.
- Islam: Dressing of women to cover gender. Small stuff / shallowness.
- Westerners: movie-rental late fees. Small stuff, punishing shallowness.
- Westerners: People who work independent at office, home-worker candidates, and schedule.
- Westerners: conformity to fashion, style, cosmetics, beauty surgery.
- Westerners: the decoration and syntax of language over meaning. meme decoration prized over understanding / depth.

- "Of course this would have nothing to do with banalisation. Well, of course it would. But anything that is a threat to the system can be banalised. I’ll give you two examples in the sphere of politics. The way they turned Jesse Jackson from a serious social actor, into sort of a banal caricature of himself in the media. They have banalised a real threat to the system, which was the Rainbow Coalition. A real threat – populist threat to the system – banalised into a joke." https://rickroderick.org/304-marcuse-and-one-dimensional-man-1993/
