Refreshing to read some of your older articles. This one is definitely food for thought. I find the fine lines between resorting a culture as it is and judging one with our own limits difficult to navigate. Sometimes we think we know better because of our education but the education itself can be flawed too.
Yes, I think the key is to keep an open mind. Challenge both ourselves, the status quo and new things that we learn, and be willing to learn from them.
All three ethics seem highly...porous to me? one can make a point about it all being intertwined. For example disrespect for elders also means elders were probably harmed, their autonomy might be taken away, and probably means it's being interpreted as disgusting act that divine force whatever it is happens to judge.
But you wrote about that. I think. Need to re-read.
In general I agree with education and travel and all you suggest, and I think the exact same thing about canceling books-I just think it's very hard to implement that? In a way that will be a) encompassing enough b) not rushed c) realistic-because my guess is the majority of Earth's population just can't afford it, for many reasons, some of those very simple.

Thank you, Rachel! As difficult as the navigation is, the beauty lies in it being never ending. We can constantly discuss and learn more.

Thank you-good article. I'll think some more
Thank you! And yes, I agree that the three ethics are all intertwined in a way—just like many cultures.
