I would disagree, and cite that a BUNCH of the worlds oldest poetry and art all comes from Eastern civilizations. We are herd animals by instinct, but self expression as a default setting has to be stamped out through long term systemic violence.
I'm not talking about the dark age era nor the origin of freedom of expression.
Well, I don't understand how citing old poetry and arts from the east disproves my point in the first place, so if you dare want to convince a random internet person like me, you'd start from explaining why that's the case.
