> So here is another source of interesting heresies. Diff present ideas against those of various past cultures, and see what you get. [4] Some will be shocking by present standards. Ok, fine; but which might also be true?
Has anyone actually collected a whole bunch of information on this?
In my head I'm imagining a table, with the columns being cultures (i.e. 1990s America, 1850s Britain, etc) and the rows being contentiously debated actions / ideas (i.e. age of consent being "low", male students having sex with female teachers, etc), and each cell representing a boolean "yes, this culture is OK with this" / "no, this culture is not ok with this"?
I'd be really interested to see something like that.
