I will admit that I suffer a fit of rapid blinking in disbelief in the "Emphasis on Scientific Method" section, but a ton of these sections are fascinating. There ARE many concepts easily taken to be universal that turn out to be one choice among many. https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1283443869330415618">https://twitter.com/sullydish...
Are we not in a moment where we are particularly primed to see how the kind of individualism intrinsic to dominant U.S. culture has some potential down sides, as group-oriented cultures like Japan fare far better against the coronavirus?
But it& #39;s not that all these things are bad—isn& #39;t the infographic being pretty clear about that? It& #39;s that they are particular choices and do not represent the universal or default nature of humanity.
Again: when it strays into calling cause & effect culturally specific, it gets into VERY dicey territory. But a lot of the rest of it is good.
