re: #1 Sergey Romanov

Does he really think all cultures are equal? Sigh. And did he compare Franklin to Robespierre? Otherwise, not a bad vid.

What I took away from it was that the notion of “better” or “superior” can and does sometimes lead to stunted critical thinking skills, which can in turn lead to bigotry, racism, and worse. There’s a sort of smug, self-congratulatory thinking that I see sometimes which worries me because it indicates complacency, and when a person or society becomes complacent, they run the risk of crippling their ability to continue evolving.
