i'm not interested in an exchange abput personal lives here, i'm just responding to your ideas as somewhat of a perspectivist myself, e.g., kant wrote the way he did because he wrote while sitting down. etc. since in this kind of discussion there's no scientific objectivity (goodbye big narratives), personal bias must be taken into account.

and so, from what i've experienced first-hand, while 95% of human traits are obviously universal, we still have a bit left of "cultural diversity" on the planet, and it's worth witnessing and protecting it while we can (just like the fucking rainforests, etc.). i understand it if you haven't seen/lived such apparent chimeras, but they nevertheless exist and are worth knowing. and so, along those lines, the question of local vs. centralized decision-making is a politically and economically relevant one.

this all goes back to the issue of "what's wrong with a world government" (modernity vs post-modernity, if you will). potentially, a lot. and i'm not talking about alien lizard-people. i'm talking about the universal reproduction of america (so far, germans hate walmart greeters, thank fuck), or some bureaucrat in belgium deciding what sort of crops a subsaharan farmer should grow.
