Re: You couldn't make it up
I am not sure that Brits are any more rational. It seems to me that we are far removed from the ideals of the Enlightenment in the Yookay ! What rational people would devote their lives to "Strictly Come Dancing" and "The Great British bake-off" ?

Re: You couldn't make it up
Oh. I see.
Enjoying a bit of harmless fun or harmless entertainment or deciding what one's own (harmless) approach to life should be without some self-appointed moral authority grounded in the dark ages telling them what to do?
Isn't that part of what the enlightenment was about?

An intellectual debate on a vanilla sponge, or the fine points of a rumba could be quite interesting

Re: You couldn't make it up
Did you just randomly select those three names from the misty memories of school days fifty years ago buried in the deepest reaches of your addled old brain?
I wonder how your mind functions.

Enlightenment figures. You have heard of The Enlightenment ? It may have passed you by.
I will leave you to that nonsense on the Idiot Box that now passes for "Culture" in the West. My addled old brain will now dip into something worth reading. Where I am we are still into books and reading.
