holding on to the past, onto tradition -- that's what the weak with no merit or value do, the slaves to history

people like nazimantrash

it's what people who recognize that hundreds or even thousands years of accumulated wisdom might have some value do

'wisdom' lol

what's funny

the wisdom of the past is often ehhh

well

"lets rub lemons on our foreheads to cure headaches", "lets rape virgins to cure diseases", "lets wipe from behind when we shit"

you know witch trials right?

Traditions, yo, totally the way we do stuff

😂

i don't see how witch trials are representative of tradition as a whole

how widespread were they anyhow

the reason we as humans have progressed as far as to drop someone on the moon, and take pictures of pluto is that we build on wisdom, not accept it at face value and never evolve it

Take beer industry as an example

with extremely few exceptions, beers that have not had significant recipe changes in the last hundred years taste like shit today

Because ideas, processes and concepts have evolved and built on each other

building on wisdom is a very different concept from discarding it

tradition as a static meme, or idea passed down ,is rubbish

and in any case you're also providing examples of things that have very concrete scientific answers involved

you should be replacing it with a better one, not carrying it forward

everything has concrete scientific/statistical answers

not really

yeah really

the long term affect of all sorts of cultural norms do not

both the acceptance and rejection of them

culture is cancer

what does that even mean

and should be discarded withour remorse

I mean the individual should not have to adhere to expectations, norms, traditions, anything.

the protection of culture is a religion that causes conflict between groups

that's just part and parcel of living in a society my guy

I don't adhere to culture and do just fine

respecting others doesn't mean I must assimilate a culture

so you're saying you don't respect any expectations or norms

I respect but to not expect.

?

expectations and norms are constructs that restrict the free-flow of ideas and growth of individuals, collectives and society as a whole

Is this debates or general?

the flow of ideas only exists because of expectations and norms

no
