    Russian and Ukrainian traditional music, and even some of the pop, has what we call the ‘polka’ sound, which is a two beat tempo. Russian folk songs on the other hand are beautiful. And some of them are quite funny. If you study both nordic, germanic, and slavic pagan holidays you see what we used to be like not so very long ago. It’s more obvious in the baltics and ukraine since they were under less political and commercial pressure. The baltics held out until 1500’s.

    When traveling, you do notice a bit of Steppe, Rug, and Yurt culture in Russian aesthetics – particularly decor. You notice very quickly when you leave the plain and enter the european wood east of L’viv, and return to european decor. This is because our aesthetic tends to retain some of the symbolism of our folk crafts.

    RUSSIAN VS WESTERN ART

    What you will notice rather quickly once aware, is that Russian art has a legacy of iconography that leads to a preference for constrained space and extreme detail, and lacks the imperial spaciousness of english landscapes and American photography. Unfortunately we live in an era of sterile apartments built by cranes and with panel products and not in homes crafted by hand, filled with artifacts handed down over the generations. Art is inescapably a subordinate to architecture and until we fix architecture we cannot fix the art that decorates it.

    Your question answers itself if asked operationally with correct grammar:

    –“What would be the observable consequences if people no longer predicted peoples value, neutrality and threat by visible and behavioral traits.”–

    The answer is that we would cease making use of the most accurate measurement in social sciences: stereotypes, and render ourselves interpersonally blind, and as such give unlimited opportunity to people who lie, cheat, scam, and steal.

    Stereotypes are the most accurate empirical measurement of display(appearance), word(thought) and deed(action) because they are tested every single day by millions and millions of us.

    —“The West’s egalitarianism and loss of noblesse oblige: Atheists amongst the elite will attack the concept of religion on a whim, because they don’t need it, not considering they have a duty to society by virtue of their position, and different people have different needs to function optimally.”—Graham Davies

    my only comment is that once you open up democracy you are forced into the problem of the different needs of the classes. The necessary law of the aristocracy, the fanciful philosophy of the middle, and the supernatural religion of the bottom all must somehow compete – but they cannot be made commensurable.
