We're WEIRD. Get over it.
#13
I have also come up with something that might illustrate. If I understand the theory and it has merit, then Liberty University may be an oxymoron. Not just the name, though that might be true too, but the university.

Universities are a prototypically western institution. The students are self selected for reading and analytic thinking. You throw a bunch of people with similar skills temporarily together to learn abstract concepts by doing more reading. In short, you are choosing your most WEIRD people to come together to become more WIERED. This is of course temporary, then you throw them back into your culture. I don't care if the subject matter is how to become more tribal, you are training them to become more WIERD. It seems almost counter productive.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
