People downvote because you're saying that culture is a lie when it's the incorrect word. You're not wrong per se, you're using the incorrect word. Others point that out to you, and you still insist on using the word lie. You double down on your error and say that you must be right because everybody else says you're wrong.
Language is culture, and you're blowing it.
- fit2rule 8y agoSorry but I disagree. Lies have to be told and re-told in order to persist, they are not the natural order of things, a base truth. This is the nature of culture, also. Culture doesn't persist unless the human mind identifies with it, differentiates and associates it from other cultures. The downvotes are actually a manifestation of this point.
