I will admit that I suffer a fit of rapid blinking in disbelief in the "Emphasis on Scientific Method" section, but a ton of these sections are fascinating.

Are we not in a moment where we are particularly primed to see how the kind of individualism intrinsic to dominant U.S. culture has some potential down sides, as group-oriented cultures like Japan fare far better against the coronavirus?
But it's not that all these things are bad—isn't the infographic being pretty clear about that? It's that they are particular choices and do not represent the universal or default nature of humanity.
Again: when it strays into calling cause & effect culturally specific, it gets into VERY dicey territory. But a lot of the rest of it is good.
