A New Theory of Western Civilization
- Nasrudith 6y agoInteresting although I would dispute assuming that others follow their mental framework as a Western or EIRD thing in itself. It seems to be more a baselining effect. I recall Chinese nationalist attempts at "outragous unthinkable insults" that were downright tepid even in countries without the equivalent hard 1st Ammendment protection. Really everyone has to work from some reference framework even if it is "other cultures tend to think the same as ours/different" as an assumption.
