> The interesting and exciting thing about China and Asia in general is that it does not suffer from the diabolical and evil brainwashing and psychological abuse that the whole "west" has been subjected to for many generations now, but especially post WWII.
Hold on a second, China and Asia in general don't suffer from diabolical and evil brainwashing and psychological abuse, since when?
China doesn't even acknowledge its own Historical events, and this has been a recurring pattern of diabolical and evil brainwashing and psychological abuse. Should we even address Russia goofy propaganda of mystical creatures?
Why should it be expected that everyone shouldn't be cautious of claims coming from a place where Historical revisionism is part of their culture?
Have you even checked the rates of fraudulent paper submissions?
you might well be right in most of this, but how do you get from OOA to "black Africans are more primitive"?
isn't the same nonsense debunked every time with "all living species are equally modern in that they share common ancestors, they didn't descend from one another"?
Maybe I missed the mark, but the point is that just because China makes a claim does not mean it should be automatically dismissed because they have a supposed superiority complex. I mean there are many on this planet who have superiority complexes, and far more consequential and imposing ones at that...by far...but that does not mean we should/can just dismiss what comes out of China. Test it, challenge it in a truly scientific manner...sure...but don't just apply ones own superiority complex to project a superiority complex on others. What if they are correct and accurate in their claim?
It is simply not a fair, honest, or decent thing to do and often comes from a superiority complex itself that seems to be projected on others in direct correlation to the degree of intensity of the superiority complex.
