You should see the look on my parents' HK church friends whenever I unintentionally start talking about science, it's like I said a swear word.

- jacquesm 3y agoI can see some problems with the setting, not necessarily the country.
- senttoschool 3y agoThat actually proves one of my points. I didn’t want to get into it too much but I wrote that Chinese people are on average, more pro-science because they’re less religious or that their religion does not strongly contradict with science. I’m guessing your parents’ HK church friends are Christians?
- calf 3y agoYeah I'm not disagreeing with you at all, it's the Christianity and Hong Kong's post-colonial legacy. The mainland Chinese social order is secular. The technocratic state, the CCP, had a lot to do with that. I would actually argue that technocracy is a superficial form of scientific culture.
