so stupid that we call it the west despite the fact that it is obviously in the north. and we say we our ideals come from greece- at the south end of the balkan peninsula. make it make sense

Interesting....
I guess that kind of thinking was formed in an era when people didn't have a clear map of the world or were sure that the world was round.
>>22981408 >make it make sense
you know the phrase "history is written by the victors"?
it's kinda like that
it was named "the west" because that made sense in the context of the country those discoverer niggas came from
these names are wrong because the world changes and everything is relative, but they're named as if these things are absolute

that too, probably
our perspective changes, and it can be hard to integrate centuries and centuries of history/discoveries in a way that makes internal sense

But being silly make me lol and Zhongzi said that laughing is better than arguing. (Especially when I tested that no one is as smart as me on this dying website)
