    Yes. And also explains why worldviews are so different between cultural, linguistical and geographically different groups of people.

    Even though we’re becoming more and more unified, through the internet, through logic systems like maths or science in general. This is not to be mistaken for truth. Western scientific ideology specifically has as unspoken ‘truth’ that when ideas ‘win’, they are more valuable.

    Ofcourse these systems of beliefs create opportunities and knowledge for people. Don’t mistake my dismissal of truth for disaproval.
