Being a Turkish person interested in extropy,
I don't understand why you were so suprised by seeing stuff related to
Eminem in the course syllabus of one of the top Turkish Universities in
Turkey.
I sense some stereotypical thinking in your part. Can you please explain
more why you were so amazed.
Zahir
