Western civilization is based on science while eastern on spirituality.

weastern society based on pseudoscience

>>8981189
Facebook is already making that happen

>>8981181
This is not true.
Both "cultures" (if you can call dozens of discrete cultural groups single, monolithic cultures) have prevailing social philosophies, and nothing more.

If you read up on Rationalism and the Hindu notion of Brahman, as well as its Buddhist counterpart, you'll find that the Rationalism the West is very proud of came about centuries earlier in the East and that Hinduism and Buddhism are both based on the idea that you cannot trust your senses, that humans are biased, and that reason alone is the only way to arrive at true, a priori knowledge.

Islam is mostly anti-science because a lot of their sects decided God's Law trumps man's law therefore Shariah is all the "critical thinking" one needs.

Aside from that, the West and the East are both about the same in terms of reason vs spirituality.

So you're saying western society based on spirituality. Sounds great.

>>8981181

It's very general and i had ancient china (i ching) in my mind, for east.

It seems as though, west tried to unlock mysteries of energy and matter while east was interested in time. Thats what i meant.

Creationism taught in schools as science.

combination of conflicting philosophies can result in either chaos or greater order, rarely anything between
if you hypothetically achieved this somehow the most probable result is a huge shitstorm with some enlightened people few and far between
