On culture - fascinating, too brief since it's often counter-intuitive, but hopefully there will be more soon - [washingtonpost.com]

WEIRD! ( 🙂 )

@Allamanda 😁
Not “weirdness” -
“Scientists describe a select set of cultures as WEIRD: Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic.”
The article was quite fine!

@Allamanda
I thought you didn’t think mine was! 🤣

I hope there will be more in this vein too.

For years I've wondered about the cultural ages and maturities of different religions.
I've wondered about comparing the development of Christianity's social attitudes with older eastern religions as well as younger groups like Islam and much younger groups like Scientology and Mormonism. Thanks for the link.

Hey! If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.😎

When I hear people talk about how violent Islam is I remember that they got going about 600CE and I think how Christianity was about 600 years ago near the end of the Middle Ages with the Crusades and the Inquisitions and all.

I'm not sure there's anything new under the sun and I have very little hope that we'll ever figure it out.
