With respect to @stevennovella, we should take issue with the idea that "science transcends culture." Which scientific questions we ask, what gets funded, to what end, for whose benefit, are inextricably linked to culture. Science doesn't live in silos.https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/indigenous-ways-of-knowing/ …

Definitely. I also take issue w/ the words we use to describe science and not-science, esp "eastern" vs. "western." As if people in the east are incapable of "naturally" coming up with/using the scientific method. And again, this is where culture does come into play (colonialism)

Oh, I've written more times than I can remember that the whole "Eastern"/"Western" dichotomy is racist as hell. It feeds into the whole caricature of the "West" (i.e., Europe) being more "rational" and the "East" (Asia) being more mystical and mysterious.
