    One of these sentences is dumb in about eight different ways.https://twitter.com/aliamjadrizvi/status/1051126747230392320 …

    Cultural relativism is dangerous. Some cultures are better than others. Canadian culture is objectively better than Saudi culture. European culture is better than North Korean culture. And Californian/New York culture is objectively better than Texan/Alabaman culture.

        I stopped listening to California being objectively better than anything when an app came out this week specifically to report HUMAN POOP IN THE STREET in San Francisco

        1. California taxes v t/a taxes 2. Gun laws 3. California corporate ruling class v t/a 3. California corn lobby (ethanol) vs t/a who probably drill 4. There’s no Hollywood in Texas or Alabama 5. I’m sure Texas and Alabama’s water agreements are better than California’s

        IRK? He got lazy and combined categories. Should have written it out for those in French Lick: Californian > Alabaman Californian > Texan New York > Alabaman New York > Texan It really is in the eye of the beholder though (which is subjectivism, not relativism 🙃)

        How is "European" lumped together and.. Coastal US is somehow different than the Southern US? Greek culture is lightyears from Welsh culture, yet all European?

        He's contrasting European culture with North Korean culture, so would you say Greek culture is more similar to Welsh culture or North Korean culture? Or equally similar to both?

        It’s par for the course when it comes to Ali. He’s says some things that make you think he’s a reasonable guy. But give it enough time, and he’ll prove that notion very very wrong.

        Some Saudis and their sympathizers are indeed upset about the second sentence. :) (Of course, this is not about them as individuals.)
