I’ll ruin the parable of this post with the difference separating the two cultures: the Rabbi lies four times. The American Tells the truth four times.
This is the difference between cultures. Indo Europeans obtain adulthood by means of Oath never to lie or steal, and created a high trust society. Westerners discovered truth, reason, and science because of it. And in both the ancient and modern world dragged man out of ignorance and poverty using it.
High trust, Altruistic, Universalist, Truth Telling, with an ethical system that requires productive fully informed warrantied voluntary exchange free of externality.
I wouldn’t be too impressed with Talmudic study. There is a reason the most literate people in Europe produced nothing of value until attempting to integrate, and adopting the aristocratic religion of the west: truth and science.
