CULTURAL DIFFERENCES CAN BE SOLVED
It’s easy to misunderstand my purpose when criticizing other cultures (I certainly criticize my own): it’s largely to point out that metaphysical (implied but unstated) cultural differences are anchored in ancient (very) group strategies, and that these differences produce different understandings of the world – so that cultures that deviate from the natural law are not aware that what they perceive as good (and might have been three to five thousand years ago) was only the best they could do, and no good then and certainly not now.

Do you think Yuval Harari has the intention to spread harm by his nonsense-history? Stephen J Gould in his denial of human differences? Freud and Boaz just ‘making it up’? Did Cantor, Bohr, and Einstein know that they were including pseudoscience? What about Ian McGilchrist trying to ‘fit’ Christianity into his neuro science? No. We all carry cultural logics with us and we are often

stuck with them until trained out of them.

Why? Because all logical consistency is eventually processed by our intuition. So we must train or re-train our intuition to correspond to the physical, natural, evolutionary, and formal laws. This is why some cultures produce no science, some pseudoscience, and some (very rarely) science.

Because what is science other than testimony to consistency with the four sets of laws of nature?

What if you’re wrong about the laws of nature? What if your culture is wrong about what’s ‘good’?
