| > There are more extant languages in many Eastern cultures My family comes from Eastern Europe and I've traveled it (and Asia) extensively, and while I agree skin color isn't the hallmark of diversity some call it, I think the East's cultures are really similar, and the diversity of thought within those cultures much smaller. All the division and hatred we're seeing is, a negative manifestation of, but an indication of how diverse the West is. > An appeal to his authority might not be your strongest argument. His article literally mentions how it should be about the content of our words, rather than appeal to authority. I just thought it funny and relevant that this is happening on the website he created, but maybe better to cite it without mentioning who he is. Wasn't meant as an appeal to authority but fair it could be interpreted that way. FWIW, I disagree with Graham on a lot recently politically, but I still think the heresy comparison is extremely on-point. Love your takes on HN btw. |
And people from the east say this about the west.
