So the discussion boils down to the presence or absence of a growth mindset. Fortunately, a fixed mindset is an evolutionary dead end.

	#While cultural relativism states that we should accept other cultures without judgment, it does not mean that these cultures don't suck ([[Sturgeon's Law]]). A collaborative approach to cultural relativism states that all cultures suck in some way, and it's up to all cultures to keep evolving and improving while not pointing fingers at anyone. Cultural relativism remains a problem under the assumption that no cultural evolution is taking place, while natural law states that 'the only constant is chance'. Thus, cultural relativism is a faulty mental model. In short - it is the duty of all cultures to improve, including those who call themselves 'highly democratic societies' - as according to the [[Human Freedom Indexes]] - the highest score (Switzerland) is 9.1 on a scale of 10, and the USA is 8.6 and declining in 2025.		#While cultural relativism states that we should accept other cultures without judgment, it does not mean that these cultures don't suck ([[Sturgeon's Law]]).
