Simple rules for a civilized society.

~5% of the world's population that have an outsized presence on Farcaster seem to find these to be hot takes

But these have always been true for most of Asia, and also largely true of Europe and Africa

Lots of other not-very-civilized things in Asia though, IMO as an Asian

Why do we keep using the term "civilized" to describe adopting European colonial standards? 😩

I think Asia matches my list better than Europe actually.

eg. DST abolition is the norm outside the Anglosphere+EU

YYYY-MM-DD is standard in East Asia, but not in EU

Also, even the non-US West has an annoying habit of often using pounds for body weight.

But Europe does win on "ground floor = 0"
