Can Someone make an argument to why culture matters

All cultures eventually end (or change to be unrecognizable) , and throughout history we've seen culture and religion constantly holding society back so where innovation is seen as taboo. It doesn't make sense to me, please explain

I agree, this cancerous marxist culture is breathing it's dying breaths, I am excited for what may come next.

Because it allows for social structure. Social structure is needed for the allocation of resources. Proper allocation of resources allows the maximum amount of people to live comfortably. Living comfortably allows for people to do more than worry about food, water, shelter, and space. Doing more is going to space, advancing technology, and allowing our species to evolve as a whole.

I'm fairly certain you don't need culture to allocate resources or even have a proper social structure, all that could be done without worshipping any god or following any custom, right?

You're partially right. Social structures can exist for a short period of time without developing a culture, but I must insist that the human condition will always create culture within social structure. Without social structure there is no culture, and without culture social structure feels merely temporary. Culture evolves over years of tradition, tradition evolves over common practices within social structure. It is natural for culture to form as it is the human condition. Sure, you can wipe out a culture, and start a new social structure, but your original plan to have no culture will be lost within a generation or two.

The question was - Why does culture matter?

I think the answer is that it does not. Human nature causes man to create culture when a community or country is established. That culture exists is what matter. The cultures in themselves are arbitrary.

...

I don't think africans are human, I just want to preserve white culture, and I find it important to who we are. I am defending white culture, not offering an argument for nigger culture.

Can you explain why your bringing up species. Would really appreciate it

btw did you have that pic saved on your device

>all that could be done without any custom
no

But I said E X P L A I N

And can't you see that your desire to "preserve culture" is one of the reasons that we as a society are being held back. Give me a reason why we need white CULTURE and I will rest my case

Whatever you imagine a perfect society as, it has a culture. Ask yourself: What is the point of destroying culture, if culture is so pervasive?
A: Jews wanna end white race. They (MAY TRY) to do that by ending white culture

This culture holds nothing back. This is a culture that promotes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This is a culture that strives towards perfection in mind and body.

>your desire to preserve culture is the reason our culture is held back
>give me a reason we need culture
gets it

white peoples culture is innovation and expansion of knowledge, that is the culture the jews are trying to eradicate. cant have the goyims science enabling them to leave their masters subtle manipulation! goydness me!

Check the picture I started the thread with and restate that sentence. "white" culture holds back socialist beliefs, scientific exploration, and the exchange of ideals

AND thats just white culture, not to mention the various flaws of other cultures around the world

> Africa
> Detroit
> South Africa
> Rhodesia
> Middle East
> China

The only nations I would want to live in were created by a fundamental movement called western civilization. What you are proposing is doing away with the foundation of western civilization because muh feelings, muh taboos, and muh progress. Newton didn't invent calculus because everyone was okay with buttsex and paedophilia you fruitcake.

Culture is the mechanism through which social structure perpetuates itself.

The problem is not the cultures themselves, but the fact that they have been forcibly mixed together. I do not care about any culture other than my own, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give respect to cultures around the world. Marxist multiculturalism is a destruction of all culture, a mixing together that destroys the original of every difference. This is what causes our social structures to decay into the state they are today.

Not civilisation dumbass, CULTURE
You don't understand the fundamental difference between those two things
And funny how you mention your perfect Culture but don't acknowledge the millions of lives lost colonizing those areas; which can be seen as a part of European culture

> culture and civilization they two different things

Yes and we're all one human race you historically illiterate scientifically ignorant moron

But don't you think we as a species are intelligent enough now to make a social structure without ca culture being tied to it?

You did not make ANY valid points in that statement, you just compared one thing to another and expected others to get the reference

>model reponse

Listen I'm sorry friend I would explain to you that civilization and culture are so interrelated that it is impossible to talk about one without the other and I would list every civilization as evidence of this however if you lack intelligence to the point where you think culture and civilization have little to do with each other you aren't worth talking to

By you saying that they are interrelated you are ceding to me that they are in fact two different things. I seek to completely separate the two from each other, and I understand how much numerous examples you can name of them being mixed together, and for every one of those examples I can name at least three fundamental problems each had.
So I completely understand the two, but if you understood what I'm saying it's that one of them is not needed and people come to practical tribalism when they are in use

What are you trying to say? That civilizations and cultures are flawed?

That's where you are very wrong. Civilization and culture go hand and hand, there has never been a civilization without culture in the history of man kind. Civilization needs to be built up over generations, where there is learned knowledge there is tradition, where there is tradition there is culture. You can not have one without the other, and to attempt such a thing goes completely against the human condition. We as a species produce culture one way or another. If you try to assume an authoritarian state that does not allow the creation of tradition, that in itself will become a tradition. and therefore become the culture of those people.

Without culture, society would become as bland as a bottle of purified water. It's what gives society flavor.

Culture matters because it is a part of human nature.

A lack of culture, just like communism, is impossible when taking into account human emotions.

Sure, it would be better for society if we dropped most of art, music, dance, history, etc and consecrated ourselves to science, technology, engineering, business, etc but that's just impossible.

You need to find a balance. In countries like Spain where culture is important and more about art and having fun, nothing gets done. In what used to be the USSR, where science was a national goal and a priority, the state would spend terrible amounts of money on science and the system would collapse.

Finding a middle-ground like most advanced Western countries is the best. Appreciate the arts and encourage progress. Btw, while love of science can be part of culture, it is usually not stressed enough.

Look up the definition of interrelated friend

But people refuse other cultures so why does it matter

I want to continue this argument, please post an actual retort.

How has culture held us back? If anything it's provides the conditions for whatever a society creates to exist in the first place

We're saying the same thing that culture is the foundation of civilization

Oh shit, sorry... I got too drunk.. and fuged up.

Culture is literally, directly linked to genes and how they express themselves

Fucking retarded thread filled with pseudo intellectuals circle jerking over half truths and warped understanding of the matter

>OP leaves due to the sudden realization that humans will never be able to evolve past their Sapien tendencies of tribalism and violence and asking them to is asking an animal to go against it's very nature

Culture is memetic -- it's an aggregate of beliefs, attitudes, and habits that are learned through imitation, education, and repetition.

Imagine people as robots. They are hard wired with certain functions. But in order to adapt to different circumstances they can be reprogrammed (within limits). Time and chance have selected which programming schemes ("cultures") have proliferated over time.

Culture is itself a kind of innovation. Private property is an innovation. Monogamy is an innovation. These memes persist because they confer advantages to the populations that adopt them.
