On anthropological architecture in "C of L49"

[Mark Kohut]

Been ruminating on Laura's question: "Who are They in "C of L49"?"

>From the other side of the world, so to speak, from a non-fiction book
as different from C of L49 as is any; the book is The Man Who Loved China,
about Joseph Needham, self-taught China expert/historian/more. 

It is the late 1930s and Joseph Needham, star Cambridge scientist who has taught himself 
Chinese and is already 'in love" with the country is there for the first time. The author
sums up Needham's first general perceptions:

"They [those ancients thru the present who had created China] had created the very special circumstances
---icy self-assurance, isolation, a sustained attitude of hauteur---that had made China seem so separate from
the other [countries]. They had created the 'anthropological architecture' that, in short had made China China." 

So, what is the anthropological architecture in Tower America as C of L 49 begins?..."money-grubbing materialism", "sustained hustle and boosterism", science-honoring forgetting of its past, its history?, repression of
its Shadow? 
" 
And stuff like that?
