That was an interesting (and weird hah) read.

For anyone who has lived in a different culture for any length of time, it seems pretty obvious how lots of ideas are shaped by culture and upbringing. I had no idea though how deeply embedded into research those ideas were though. The thing that surprised me the most though was the visual perception. I vaguely remember an experiment on animals showing those raised in a place with mostly vertical lines had trouble or perceiving horizontal lines.
