  • nah, central europe as a concept is much older, the cold war split of western vs eastern europe was the new thing.

    Sure, but there’s definitely some auto-chauvinism going on among people of formerly socialist nations in Europe, especially ‘progressive’ liberals. I often heard people say that we here are culturally backwards because of our inherent cultural traits like dishonesty and laziness, often contrasting that to for example the honest hardworking Germans. Sometimes this supposed backwardness is also blamed on socialism.

    It’s as sad and pathetic as it sounds but it’s a real thing I’ve experienced quite often.

    I guess you could say it all collapses when an actual consciousness checks what state things are at, but that’d be a rediculous claim to make.

    Would it? We now know with the recent experiments with Bell’s inequality that quantum mechanics can’t be reduced to a local hidden-variable theory, doesn’t that at least in theory leave space for consciousness? Sure you could go with superdeterminism but currently that seems equally unfalsifiable as a consciousness-based theory.
