Culture is our production, not the other way around. Don't let culture control us.

Culture has diluted us as individuals and as a society.

I don't understand the attack on culture as a whole. Yes at times culture does hold people back, but I don't understand how that makes culture as a whole and why we should get rid of it in its entirety.

No one said anything about getting rid of culture in its entirety, nor did anyone "attack" culture.

It was a video which prodded us to realize and assess the current state of affairs.

'Murica has so much swag that we here don't need culture.

The title of the thread is 'We do not need culture', that in itself is an attack on culture. And the video was about culture and how it limits people, and while I do agree that this does happen, I see it mainly when the cultures roots lie at religion, so why not go to the root of the problem?

No, it isn't. It's simply stating that we don't need culture.

Religion is not the at the core of culture. Culture is man-made, very much like religion, although they don't have to be interconnected.

That's your choice, but you can't tell others that they don't need it. Some do and some don't.

I may offer any sort of perspective I wish. The observers may choose to agree or disagree with these offerings. I may do whatever I wish.

Did you even watch the video?

[Singularity]

That's your choice, but you can't tell others that they don't need it. Some do and some don't.

Someone can express whatever opinion they wish.
It is up to you to decide whether or not you will accept it.

In my personal opinion culture turns individuals into a mindless group
that is often stuck in there ways and will not change.

Now you can not tell me what I can and cannot say.
Just as I can not tell you what you can and cannot believe.

Never said he can't voice his opinion. But forcing and telling someone they don't need it is just dumb. Like who the hell is he, king, god, no.

just because someone is a king or god gives them the right to tell you what to do?
If you watch the video and listen you can use logic and make the choice for yourself.

In no way are you being forced.
If you actually use your "Mind" you should be able to come to the right conclusion,
Or maybe you need to be woken up first.
