Handshakes are very important. It’s not just hello to a lot of people. And you’re arguing for an extreme when it isn’t necessary. You want to change human culture for what is ultimately very low risk. That’s not a fair trade when a more measured response is approp
Do you think handshakes are *human* culture? Are cheek kisses human culture? Are bows human culture? Frankly, I think it's a bit strange that we culturally obligate people to touch strangers. And we make light of it, but it is at times extremely uncomfortable.
Last I checked westerners are humans, yes. You still haven’t justified such a drastic change that connects human animals versus risks that we’ve had for tens of thousands of years and still somehow managed to develop cultures that value contact.
Clearly you are already uncomfortable with human contact. That’s fine, nobody is obligating you to shake hands or hug or kiss cheeks. Demanding others change personal behavior in the face of very low risk seems oddly incongruous for you (I’ve been following you for awhile).
Idle speculation: I feel like the potential for discomfort is actually in handshakes favor as a signaling mechanism. Like, you want to break symmetry - why am I interacting with you and not other - because I trust your hands to not be gross.
If I'm not willing to do a base level of physical contact why are we interacting in the first place? ...I haven't had to act as an agent of an entity I don't identify with. If we're only body proxies for another agent, I guess don't need to bring human into it.
You got me. If carrying swords is the trade off I’m al for it 
I've always been a handshaker, it just feels right as a sign of trust. But when it's time to give something up, there's no use fighting it.
I’d argue isn’t isn’t time to give it up. Further and further away from our humanity we walk, in order to justify what we call civilization.
