Europeans Are Soooo Much More Eccentric in Thought and Emotion and Variability and Width and Scale and Responsiveness.

—“I have to say … spending so much time in Latin America … when I come across pure European-blood people … it is an absolute shock. They are SOOOO much more eccentric in thought and emotion and variability and width and scale and responsiveness. It’s like an accordian. You are used to seeing it pressed in to its narrow form and then all the sudden you see it in its expanded form and it’s like wow! I didn’t know all these other dimensions existed. I have seen this so many times now … and it’s a perfect control experiment because these are people who have spent their entire lives in a Latin environment.”—Michael Churchill

Yep. It’s obvious.

Unfortunately it’s a dunning kruger perception problem as well. It’s not possible for those who can’t sense perceive it to perceive it. In other words, you can’t observe it unless you’re part of it.

So, how do we measure it so that we can prove it?
