it is indeed culturally significant hat many of the sub christian cultures
retain this obsession to the effect that physical proximity/contact is
impure. it may stem from the substandard writers of leviticus, with their
celebrated point of purity. Within the english context it is likely that
few if any matched the hero/scoundrel who destroyed the so called near
east, the times interestingly are the same, while wittgenstein comes from
the money aristocracy of kakanien, t came from impoverished this and
that.....
the allusions are intentional
